Sooo… my partner Jasmine and I are expecting a baby girl next March!
If you are able, please help us prepare for her arrival by visiting our Amazon baby registry (next tweet) and buying an item or two.
Your love and support means the world to us! ❤️

Every single Democratic controlled state and municipality to authorize as much housing as possible.
Democratic states are losing electoral votes because of our refusal to allow new housing for young people, the poor and working class and immigrants.
We’re losing votes too.
The American housing problem was urgent under Democratic control, and will likely become dystopian under Republicans. Here’s what I fear we will face, and how we should aspire to combat it:🧵

The professional qualifications of the Democratic ticket and the GOP ticket in NC is staggering this year.
Let’s elect the team that actually wants to work for the people. #ncpol #northcarolina
My opponent would hand his duties to a board of unaccountable, partisan hacks appointed by entrenched legislative leaders. I believe the people should choose who invests the people's money—and that's why I have the support of the public servants who depend on the pension. #ncpol

IMO, if they want to meet their economic potential, the NC Research triangle needs something like @SFBART or @wmata—light rail probably won’t cut it.
Puerto Rico has a heavy-rail/metro rail transit system, the 10.7-mile Tren Urbano in San Juan.
The following states have no rail transit service:
ME NH VT SC KY AL MS IA
ND SD NE KS MT WY ID AK
And these have no metros:
RI CT DE VA WV NC MI IN TN LA
AR MN OK TX CO NM AZ UT OR

IMO, @NCDemParty should make investments in the seats where Stein cracked 50%+. #NC11 is probably the best (reach) pickup opportunity, but I don’t think we should sleep on #NC07.

Charlotte should make a regional rail system to rival any other in the south.
Proud moment for the Queen City! 👑
Charlotte is now the 14th largest city in the U.S. and the sixth fastest growing major city according to @uscensusbureau.
Growth brings opportunity-and we're building a city where everyone can thrive. #CLT #14thLargestCity

Van Hollen is an actual hero for this
I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

I’m so sad. @JHolmesLives was a legend and a true champion for Charlotte—especially pedestrians, bicyclists, transit riders and low income residents and renters. He loved his community in East Charlotte and across the region.
I never got to meet him irl, but I will miss him.

The was one murder related to transit in the last few years: a driver shot a bus operator from outside the bus. There have been no killings on the light rail.
Driver’s have killed hundreds in car crashes. You’re just scared of being near other people.

North Carolina will be an economic powerhouse for the immediate future.
If we want that to remain true in the long run, we need to allow denser housing development in our cities & town centers and invest heavily in public transportation & inner-city passenger rail. #ncpol #ncga

That may be its “job” but it’s not cutting only waste. They’re firing nuclear engineers who run our defense systems. Firing doctors and nurses who car for veterans. Now they’re getting rid of personnel at Medicare.

All things considered, @NCDemParty did pretty great this year.
@MeckDems did some good & vital things, like raising much more $, and flipping North Meck. But we severely underperformed where we cannot afford to: Black, Latino, and Asian American communities in Charlotte.

Ideal Charlotte light rail/subway map
Here's the issue I will have this afternoon. When any president is in town, police and federal agencies cooperate and close ramps and freeways without prior notice which is necessary for security. NCDOT will turn off the cameras, so I have to watch the maps and guess.

Ho Chi Minh was a Vietnamese independence leader and a nationalist, before he was a communist. He greatly admired the mythos of the American revolution, so this kind of makes sense

Frankly this should be a state
For 60 years, Delmarva voted for the national popular vote winner in every US Presidential election. But it broke the streak in 2024, when it voted for Harris by 3.5% while Trump won nationally by 1.5%.
Here's my 16 maps of how the peninsula's counties have voted since 1964:

Y’all, we need to turn out Charlotte’s Crescent neighborhoods, where the Black and Latino communities have been unheard for far too long.

The numbers in North Carolina have been updated, and this is where we stand after nine days of early voting (eight more remain).
🔴Republicans - 893,405
🔵Democrats - 861,330
🟡Others - 837,953
Total turnout in the Tarheel State is just shy of 2.6 million, and Republicans notched another net gain of 16,000 votes on Friday.
On the frequency side of things, Republicans are also starting to eke out marginal gains each weekday with new voters, but the delta is still pretty small, which is why their overall lead is only 1.24% right now.
We've logged just under half the expected vote, and the 32,075-vote lead Republicans enjoy today will be cut into by Democrats over the next two days, but it will likely remain a lead heading into Monday.

If @NCDemParty won every seat that Stein carried, Democrats would have a veto-proof supermajority in the House, and we'd be 2 seats shy of one in the Senate
#NCGA #NCpol
From the datasets @DrewSav uploaded on @davesredist, @JoshStein_ won at least a plurality of the votes on 28/50 state senate districts and 74/120 state house districts in his 14.8-point win in #NCGov last year.
