You know if Trump had raw sewage in his yard he wouldn't cancel this settlement. But he's racist to the bone so when Black people get justice for mistreatment by the government it's labeled "DEI." insideclimatenews.org/news/1104202...

I continue to be disappointed in my senator's behavior. It's time to retire.

If you want to know the legally correct decision in any voting rights case, just ask Anita Earls. And Dietz is the only GOP justice with the courage to follow the law instead of his partisan allegiance. To the federal courts we go. www.newsobserver.com/news/politic... #ncpol

New First Street Foundation study: climate change could cause 72% of NC counties to lose property value by 2055. And insurance will be unaffordable or nonexistent. We're already seeing it happen. This is a future we can mitigate, and we have to start now. #ncpol

Don't let any GOP #NCGA legislator fool you into thinking SB261 is an organic response to NC's unique needs. Utility and fossil fuel interests have been pushing the same scheme across the country. We should uniquely stand against it. It's wrong for our bills and our health.

So glad Raleigh is doing this. I'd love to see all Wake County and even the larger Triangle municipalities band together to do waste collection better and to incentive proper recycling and composting. We'll not only save the planet but save money. www.newsobserver.com/news/local/c... #ralpol

Because the GOP has done their fossil fuel benefactors' bidding to make climate partisan, this data is completely unsurprising. But it's sad. 2 of the 3 counties with the least concern were slapped in the face with climate change months ago and will be recovering for years. #ncpol

I bet there will be a floodgate of Earls challengers now that Republicans know that when they lose they can just get their buddies already on the court to declare them the winner anyway. #ncpol

We knew it would happen but NC's GOP judges have abandoned all reason, fairness, impartiality, and logic in order to steal an election for their party. Their law degrees and licenses should be revoked. #ncpol

Richard Hudson's district is #1 ... by $5.5 billion over #2 ... in the amount of clean energy manufacturing investments since August 2022. He voted against the law creating these jobs but now has the chance to protect these tax credits. Will he fight for his constituents? #ncpol

Flat fees of this magnitude are punitive, far more than gas cars pay into the trust fund, which makes no sense. We should have a vehicle-miles-traveled system that also accounts for vehicle weight and applies to all vehicles, regardless of motor type. www.eenews.net/articles/law...

The Confederacy wasn't part of our nation's history. The Confederacy was an enemy invader. Monuments to it are white supremacist memorials of traitors. No true American should want any such memory of them on government property. This executive order is the ahistorical rewrite.

There was never a cool time to be a Confederate fanboy. But Jefferson Griffin's lost cause war to disenfranchise 65,000 predominately Black voters makes a whole lot more sense now. apnews.com/article/conf... #ncpol

Per new @elonuniversity.bsky.social poll, North Carolinians overwhelmingly don't want #NCGA Republicans to gut our national model concealed carry permit law. Barely more of their base supports than opposes this deadly bill. www.newsobserver.com/news/politic...

Will the #NCGA GOP make up this funding loss in the budget they're crafting? Impossible. Now thanks to their fuhrer, North Carolinians will die from preventable infectious diseases. www.newsobserver.com/news/politic...

This is an amazing plan. I hope the city council grants their rezoning. We need more of this mixed-use vision and creativity. indyweek.com/news/wake/ir... #ralpol

Like "CRT" and "woke," Republicans who invoke "DEI" can't explain what it is or point to any examples of how it's harming anyone. It's purely racially coded language to signal to their base that they're white nationalist warriors. www.theassemblync.com/politics/nc-... #ncpol

"Illegal immigrants don't pay taxes," they say, lying through their teeth, ignoring this fact and local and state taxes. Well now they'll be partly right, at least federal income taxes, and we'll all be worse off.

NCGOP Chair Jason Simmons is full of it. These "issues" were adjudicated before the election. And a Trump-appointed federal judge swiftly rejected the same claims Griffin continues to make. Now he's shopping for a favorable state court who will buy his absurd claims. #ncpol

These counties now largely vote GOP. Are their #NCGA legislators going to make up the difference when they're already failing to fulfill their state constitutional funding mandate as it is? borderbelt.org/federal-cuts... #nced

591 people work in this dept. at the EPA's RTP campus. They do science that saves millions of lives across the country. Ask yourself why Trump would want to end research that regulates pollution. Is this the agenda you voted for? www.newsobserver.com/news/politic... #ncpol

Vouchers are a massive wealth transfer from poor public school kids to rich private school kids. Our tax dollars are paying rich parents to send their kids to lily white schools so they have more money to take vacations. And poor kids are suffering because of it. #ncga #nced
