Surfing with Tulsi turned out to be a minor scandal, and remains the best DC controversy I've ever been involved with to date

So, I once went surfing with Tulsi Gabbard. Then I went log rolling with Sean Duffy. If you've every hung out with me outdoors over the past 10 years, there's a chance Trump is about to offer you a cabinet position.

Update on our documentary, @HowToSueTheKlan. The film has qualified for Academy Award consideration and it's winning awards at film festivals nationwide. More to come!

I’m going to share a story about a mass shooting you may have never heard of. One where three white perpetrators who targeted Black women largely got away with it in criminal court. But then the survivors fought back.

Will there be a journalistic brain drain in DC? A talent agent said what I've also heard anecdotally: A lot of reporters are "questioning if they have it in them to report on another Trump cycle.".

This graduate of @appstate's Journalism program has been one of the most essential voices in local Helene coverage. Incredibly proud of @mosbren and his team. @AppStateCFAA.

"@mosbren splits his time between running the paper, with its staff of nine, and volunteering as a firefighter and E.M.T. For the first day after the flooding, he focused on rescues and saving lives, before turning back to his duties as a reporter."

An update on the giant hole. It become a vital community meeting spot. It has, in the weirdest way ever, brought us all together like nothing before.

We don’t know how long it will take for emergency crews to reach our rural North Carolina community. In the meantime, people aren’t waiting around.

Western North Carolina, where I live, was known as a "lost province" because it was so remote. People learned to rely on one another. Now that Helene has destroyed our roads, here's how our neighbors are taking care of each other again.

Watch @appstate journalism grad @mosbren discuss impact of #Helene on CNN. He is as close to the ground on this story as anyone. TV News bookers, Moss Brennan is who you want on your shows.

It looks like "bombs have been dropped" in some places around Boone, NC in Helene's wake, says Moss Brennan - local EMT and editor of the Watauga Democrat Newspaper. Brennan says he and fellow first responders are "hoping we can find people - and hoping we find them alive."

There's very limited cell service, so people have been communicating by Walkie-Talkies. Another great way to get information is to meet by the giant hole in the ground, where neighbors gather throughout the day to share updates and check in. #Helene.

Entire road sections have collapsed all over the North Carolina high country. Official vehicles haven't reach us, so we put up barricades to keep drivers from plunging in with tree branches, playground slides, and lawn chairs. We built steps with rope so people can cross #Helene

I was able to climb to top of a mountain to find service and connect with news team. Grateful to the @nytimes National desk team for working with me to get dispatch out of the hollow with almost no service.

Still no power or water in many parts around Boone, NC. Our roads have plunged into the rivers, so community working together to clear debris and feed one another. Neighbor poured us water from his bathtub. People scrambling over road gaps on foot to check on family. #Helene
