Troubled water: NC cities can dump a chemical linked to cancer in rivers. The EPA may change just how much. A push by North Carolina’s powerful industry groups has some worried pollution in Asheboro and elsewhere will go unchecked. #ncpol carolinapublicpress.org/69619/ashebo...

🚨WHITE HOUSE MARKET MANIPULATION? Kevin Hassett teases a 90-day tariff pause—markets jump. Then they walk it back—markets drop. Feels like a pump & dump. Are MAGA insiders profiting off the swings? This isn’t policy—it’s insider trading with a flag. 🔁 Pump 💸 Dump 🚨 Corrupt

For the entire 2024 campaign, Trump said he wanted to impose punitive tariffs that would massively disrupt global trade, and no one - least of all his most vocal supporters - took it seriously, because they assumed he was just joking as a negotiation tactic. Trump's critics were right all along.

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode the deficit. 3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions. 4) Repeat. They're trying to get away with it again.

"Trump was so certain that every other world leader would capitulate because he has such a distorted perception of how people act, in that he is surrounded by the most groveling, sycophantic, obsequious hangers-on with their mouths latched onto his ass."

Let’s be clear. He sold $2.4 billion of his stock the day before he announced tariffs. He’s now crashing the stock market deliberately. He will then buy stock when it’s fallen through the floor. All this is is him stiffing everyone to get richer. That’s it.

Donald playing golf every weekend isn't just an opportunity to ignore the problems of the American people, it is also an opportunity to rip off the American taxpayers. Here is a bill the Secret Service got for staying at Mar-a-Lago for a few days in his first term. 42 rooms at $396.15/night.

North Carolina Republicans are on the verge of stealing a state supreme court election that they lost fair and square. It will probably take a federal court (or even SCOTUS) to block them. And if they get away with it here, this strategy won't stay in North Carolina.

Trade deficit. I have bought food from say, Chilis. They have never bought food from me. There is a trade deficit with Chilis. I’m still doing fine. The trade deficit argument SOUNDS compelling, but it’s a straw man with no relevancy

Berger six weeks ago: “The equities are with the voters there. I don’t think that they had a way of knowing that that was a deficiency as far as their registration is concerned." Today, two Court of Appeals judges put the onus on the voters to correct clerical errors that weren't their fault. #ncpol

Last November, the voters of North Carolina elected Justice Allison Riggs for our state supreme court. But Jefferson Griffin and the state Republican Party simply won't accept that. They don't care what the voters said - they want to win, no matter what.

1) Fox News is for real not showing stock-market ticker during this week's collapse. 2) Its economic news is "strong jobs report." 3) Every time I've checked in today, the coverage has been "illegal immigrants committing new crimes." This is state propaganda, on a par with North Korea or PRC.
