Call your NC state senators and representatives today and tell them that THIS IS NOT OK. The GOP leadership keeps grabbing more power for one branch of government and one political party. They do not seem to care about democracy or public service. wral.com/story/nc-house…
The power grab is sadly nothing new but using disaster relief for the deadliest storm in NC history as a pretext for dismembering democracy feels like a new low
Still going through a draft version of new #ncpol Helene relief bill that got leaked to us (it's 5 p.m. and lawmakers still haven't made it public yet, even though they plan to vote on it today) and am finding some more tidbits about the non-Helene-related changes
Happy Birthday Mr. President! Thank you for your service to the American people! 💙🇺🇸
Someone is not taking her election loss gracefully. 🤡
POWER GRAB: this bill is not democracy . Call your NCGA reps and tell them NOT to support this bill in an override . We already have the weakest governor in the country and the strongest legislature . This would make it worse.
My SparkNotes version of the policy highlights of the 131-page bill (and no, I didn't come close to scratching the surface)--> #ncpol
Tight Supreme Court races are common in NC: 2024: Allison Riggs (D) leads Jefferson Griffin (R) by 70 votes. wral.com/story/supreme-… 2020: Paul Newby (R) beats Cheri Beasley (D) by 401 votes. Beasley didn't concede until Dec. 12, after a recount. #ncpol apnews.com/article/state-…
A Republican who lost a local NC race believes only certain voters should count. Absentee voters, including men and women in our armed services, should not. Wow.
Join us as we stand together to oppose HB10-a bill that threatens the well-being of our immigrant families and communities across North Carolina. Let's send a clear message to our legislators. Date: November 18 Location: 16 W. Jones St Raleigh Time: 6:30pm
Powerful. Yes. Please read.
Pete Souza's brilliant post from Instagram 👇 "A little over 10 years ago, Republicans lost their shit when the President wore a tan suit in the White House briefing room. Now, the President-elect has chosen a Republican congressman (to quote from Peter Baker’s story in…
So Trump has promised to end EV subsidies for his big oil buddies. Drill baby drill. But oops…Elon Musk and Tesla will not be happy about that. This is just one of the problems with policy that is all about payback. And it’s just the beginning.
Is this a parody account? (Or am I going to get kicked out of X for that comment - follow me on Threads if I do)
We are very grateful to the thousands of Americans who have expressed interest in helping us at DOGE. We don’t need more part-time idea generators. We need super high-IQ small-government revolutionaries willing to work 80+ hours per week on unglamorous cost-cutting. If that’s…
"In immediately rolling out programs for resistance, govs also underlined that state Dem strength has grown since 2016 — which is one way we are better prepared for Trump now than we were then." publicnotice.co/p/pritzker-new…
BREAKING: The House just rejected a bill that could have given the Trump administration the power to crush dissent and go after political enemies. This is a victory for all our right to speak truth to power.
As soon as tomorrow, the House will vote on a bill that would give the incoming Trump administration a new tool they could use to stifle free speech, target political opponents, and punish groups that disagree with them. theintercept.com/2024/11/10/tru…
Hurricane Helene was literally ….a very rainy day. They have underfunded relief efforts in NC too. Same deal. Legislators unwilling to use the rainy day fund for …a rainy day .
No rainy day? Johnson City Sen. Rusty Crowe questions Gov. Bill Lee's unwillingness to tap Tennessee's $2.15 billion rainy day fund to aid in East Tennessee's disaster recovery efforts from Hurricane Helene. buff.ly/40Hk5ky
If Exxon is telling us that he's going to destroy the planet, we are cooked
New: Oil giant ExxonMobil opposes President-elect Donald Trump’s plans to pull out of the Paris climate agreement, a company spokesperson told CNN in a statement. “A second US exit from the Paris climate agreement will have profound implications for the United States’ efforts…
I’m surprised Elon didn’t pull this post….and yes the audience of X has changed for sure. Good thing they haven’t removed the ability to block people yet….
"X is no longer a social-media site with a white-supremacy problem, but a white-supremacist site with a social-media problem," Charlie Warzel writes. theatlantic.com/technology/arc…
