🚨The Big Beautiful Bill kicks women off Medicaid if they don't return to work 60 days after birth (~8 weeks). There is no exception to the work requirement in the bill for caring for young children. Medicaid covers 41% of US births, the party of 'family values' hates families.

For some reason media and social media haven’t really covered record setting grocery prices last week via G Elliott Morris

It is a pretty stunning statement of our political and media environment that a senator gave his colleagues this flyer on the negative impact of his own party's signature bill, the impacts have gotten relatively little coverage, and that senator will likely vote for the bill.

As a part of his mission to make North Carolina's state government more efficient, State Auditor Dave Boliek's team spent weeks of expensive staff time studying the DMV only to confirm that Wayne Goodwin has been exactly right all along: The DMV's problems are the state legislature's

The court’s decision supporting the Governor’s authority to make judicial vacancies maintains our state’s separation of powers. The court should have followed those same principles in its ruling on the Utilities Commission and Building Code Council, and I’m disappointed it did

For those curious, this isn't hyperbolic. I actually looked through the archives to quantify this. 2023: 108 bills enacted or on governor's desk by summer recess. 2025 (with just two days before anticipated recess): 32 bills. #ncpol READ MORE--> substack-proxy.glitch.me/articles/ander…

It was an honor to induct Sheriff Bobby Kimbrough, Maggie Kane, Karen Amspacher, Dr. Otis Smallwood, Reuben Blackwell, Ricky Hurtado, Chavi Koneru, and Phil Ford into the Order of the Long Leaf Pine.

BOOM! The North Carolina State House just unanimously (107 to 0) passed a ban on parking minimums in new developments statewide. This is powerful and bipartisan pro-housing reform that will make it easier to expand multifamily housing. Great work. ncleg.gov/BillLookUp/202…

What are we doing??? Purple Heart veteran, living in the US since 7, joined army at 19, served honorably, a life not without blemishes but an American in all but papers, now pushed out to live in Korea which is not his home. Evil. hawaiinewsnow.com/2025/06/24/us-… via @GoogleNews

Partisan rigging of North Carolina's state legislature is so pervasive that even when a majority of residents statewide voted for Democrats in the 2024 elections, Republicans still held on to 2/3rds of seats in the NC State Senate, and are just 1 seat shy of 2/3rds in the State

What a great idea. There's nowhere in America better suited for MLB to innovate through data analytics and real-world testing and market research than the Triangle. indyweek.com/news/opinions/… #RaleighOnDeck

I have added approval of Trump's deportation policy to our issue approval tracker. According to our average of the latest polls, Trump is underwater by 10 points on deportations and 5 points on immigration overall. He is net negative on every major issue.

More excellent veto news from Governor Josh Stein. The REINS act (H402) is a wildly irresponsible, shameless giveaway to corporate special interests eager to pollute our air and water and cheat North Carolinians. Launch it into the sun.
