It was the single he wrote, “The Lt. Gov. Owes Me Money,” that brought on his sudden rise to infamy, the calls from reporters, the social media notoriety, the gigs.

So what I’m hearing is that we’re experiencing historic crime lows with a reduced police department (?)
The Baltimore Police Department has launched a campaign aimed at attracting both new sworn officers, and professional staff.

Not sure what's going on here - but the documents shown by DOGE and cited earlier for this $8 million in ICE savings has now been *changed* to $8 billion in the Federal Procurement Data System. 🧵
The DOGE team is finally posting examples of where they have cut spending. This one claims $8 billion in savings (bottom figure) - but if you look at the fine print upper right, it's a contract that's instead valued at $8 million.

After several delays, @DOGE has finally posted its purported savings. Why did it take so long to create a simple webpage with a 1000-row table? Who knows! Let's dig in. Headline number: $55B saved. They list the savings per nixed contract. This should be easy to verify then. 🧵
It's Monday. @DOGE is the laziest, most overpaid bunch of incompetent, unelected bureaucrats we've ever seen.

It’s clear that Elon’s crack team of children ARE IN FACT CHILDREN, because only someone who had never really worked with data before would see a table like this and not think “I must be missing something about how this works”

The race has narrowed, with Jefferson Griffin leading by 7,679 votes. Allison Riggs has not conceded and after the canvass is done, she has until next Tuesday to file a request for a recount.
It is 7:20 AM on Thursday, November 14. Jefferson Griffin now leads Allison Riggs by 7,679 votes. The new numbers appear to be based on an upload from Watauga County. We should expect more uploads, including a big one from Wake, later today. #ncpol

Only in New Orleans can I top off an awesome 70th birthday dinner with my wife, sons and daughters in law by running into classic a capella singers Jay-Ray and Gee on Royal Street — and they sing me Happy Birthday as only they can. No place like New Orleans. 🎵🎼🎶♥️
