Had a great time talking with Brian and Skye about politics, the West Wing, criminal justice reform, democracy, and more!

Rep. Phil Rubin on SB50: “The permitting process that we have is not burdensome and it is common sense. It requires basic safety, live fire training, a background check, requires you to be age 21. All common sense things for concealed carry of a handgun.” #ncpol #ncga

Today the NCGOP led House voted to raise your energy bill, eliminate due process for immigrants, curtail regulatory authority over corps., target LGBTQ youth, & to expand power of the new NCGOP state auditor. None of this will make your life better easier, or more affordable.

Great, so you'll support a national ban on gerrymandering, JD Vance?

Here is a Democrat from the North Carolina State Legislature, Phil Rubin, speaking with The Hometown Holler about the NC Republicans. This is what happens with gerrymandering and when people lack a choice in their representation. #DemsUnited

It is so disappointing to see this kind of egregious unprofessionalism from the allegedly nonpartisan NCSBE. Unfortunately, this is exactly what we feared when the agency was unconstitutionally taken over by NCGOP for political reasons. Hate to see the agency fall this far.
