Filing closed in North Carolina three hours ago and no one filed to primary Don Davis. According to Politics1, 3rd parties and independents have until March 3rd to file to run.
Major party filing closes tomorrow in North Carolina & Don Davis doesn't have a primary challenger. So either there's a surprise qualifier or people are going to have to get real comfortable with supporting a 3rd party or independent option. Otherwise, it'll just be a choice between two fascists.

Maria has been accused over the years of fabricating her story that she had gone to the FBI. After finding the document in the trove, I called her. She broke down in tears.

Finally visited the site of the Nuremberg trial today. Lots of thoughts and feelings but mostly a potent and poignant reminder of the international order the US and allies tried to create after the horrors of the Holocaust and the Second World War and that is increasingly being abandoned by the US.

NEW: The FDA won’t tell Americans where their generic drugs are made, so ProPublica did it instead.

Use information from your prescription label to locate the factory and see if the plant has a history of inspection violations.

This doesn't inspire confidence that the new ob/gyn office I went to today uses evidence-based medicine. Posted at the check-out, NO mention of MASKS ? NO VACCINE ? OMG #CovidIsNotOver & pregnant women (which thankfully I'll never be) should really get much better care. But it's from W.H.O. so cool?

Things we learn:

1. Bovino's existence is the result of chain migration, which MAGA wants to ban

2. His family arrived legally under an immigration law MAGA wants to repeal

3. His father killed a woman while driving drunk, a crime for which MAGA aims to deport immigrants

And much more. Read it.
