Formal notice sent by certified mail to Senators Thom Tillis and Ted Budd on April 17, 2025.

James E. Scarborough
April 17, 2025

To Senators Thom Tillis and Ted Budd
Subject: Formal Notice — Active Collapse of Constitutional Order Under Your Watch

I am writing as a citizen of North Carolina—a parent, neighbor, and believer in the republic we still had in December—flawed but governed by law.

This letter constitutes a formal notice, entered into the public record. You are now on documented notice that the President of the United States is dismantling constitutional democracy and exercising unlawful power. The evidence is not theoretical. It is already in the record.

Prune merged branches from git local and remote
#!/bin/bash
# This will prune merged and deleted branches from your git repository.
# It assumes you're on a "master" branch tracking the origin you like.
#
# To run it, you need git (duh), perl, cut, grep and xargs. Pretty standard stuff.
