I am grateful to Sens. Budd and Tillis, members of North Carolina’s Congressional delegation, and acting FEMA Administrator Evans for meeting with Sen. Corbin, Mayor Manheimer, and me today in Washington, D.C. and for their work to help western NC rebuild. 
 
I look forward to

👉INCREASED FIRE DANGER JAN. 15, 2026 – POSTPONE OUTDOOR BURNING👈 Due to low relative humidity, dry fuels and windy conditions, fire danger is elevated across North Carolina. Outdoor burning is NOT recommended.

At one point, the United States had 17 military instillations in Greenland. There is no question that Denmark welcome’s American presence in Greenland to do everything we can to deter Russian and Chinese aggression in the Arctic. Let’s work together with Denmark and our NATO

CALL YOUR MEMBERS OF CONGRESS TO OPPOSE DHS FUNDING & SPECIFICALLY ICE FUNDING! TODAY! NOW! I pointed out that immigration violations are civil violations, not criminal, & that ICE are acting like a death squad for parking tickets. They are untrained & violating civil rights.

This is not my America. Impeach Donald Trump.

Kash Patel: "You cannot bring a firearm, loaded, with multiple magazines to any sort of protest that you want. It's that simple. You don't have a right to break the law." (Pretti was carrying a gun legally.)

Fond of the #2ndAmendment ? Pretti was a licensed gun owner legally carrying a gun. He was a nurse going to the aid of a woman ICE had thrown to the ground. The only ones breaking the law were poorly trained, thug ICE agents who treat this as a video game. #ICEOUT

Y'all, I come over to X only occasionally now. It's used to be a source of joy -- humor, cleverness, camaraderie. (Live tweeting Scandal? Joking w actors? Fun!) Now it's mean & full of lies. It makes me sad. I haven't forgotten my tweeps, hope y'all are all doing well. Big hugs.

You’ve trusted me, and maintaining that trust matters. I’ve worked hard to be your eyes, ears, and voice.   We must have a transparent, independent investigation into the Minnesota shooting, and those responsible—no matter their title—must be held accountable. Officials who rush

Update: my son-in-law fractured his spine in 3 places. No surgery needed, he's resting at home w painkillers. Will see orthopedist later this week. Thankful it's not worse.

Can Attorney General Pamela Bondi explain why Don Lemon was arrested for entering a church to film a protest and ask non-discriminatory questions, yet nothing happened to Republican congressional candidate Valentina Gomez after she entered a liberal church during services to protest and hurl

Ed Krassenstein Attorney General Pamela Bondi Valentina Gomez Because he's black and a critic of Donald Trump and ICE!!! USA was a democracy, but it is not anymore!

I can’t find the words to describe how disgusting these new documents are—just half of what federal law requires U.S. Department of Justice to release. At best, our president is covering for his perverted rich billionaire friends who sexually abuse children. At worst, he’s one of them.

The teachings of Christ. Christians are called to follow His teachings, not because they are easy but because they take courage & conviction. In our troubled times, how are you choosing to act? The real Christian way is toward love & peace -- not cruelty, greed or self promotion.

A UAE investor secretly gave Trump $187 million and his top Middle East envoy $31 million. And then Trump gave that investor access to sensitive defense technology that broke decades of national security precedent. Brazen, open corruption. And we shouldn't pretend it's normal.

Here’s a useful reminder of what our federal courts SHOULD be doing to uphold our constitutional traditions: nytimes.com/interactive/20…

To all the athletes representing Team USA: I'm so proud of you. Your talent and perseverance have brought you to this moment, and Michelle and I will be joining Americans from across the country cheering you on.
