We need to embrace innovation, but we have to do it in a way that doesn’t harm North Carolinians. Data centers should bring their own clean power and pay for their own energy, not leave families paying higher electricity bills because of data centers’ energy demands.

WOW This will mean a lot to some US Capitol Police families Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) just now at hearing: "All those thugs have actually been pardoned, yet we haven't thanked the Capitol Police officers"

I don’t know if anyone who follows me has ever been to the island of Viques, part of Puerto Rico, but decades ago there was a huge push to get the military off island. They’d used it as a bomb testing ground. .https://www.thecut.com/article/trump-puerto-rico-militarization-maduro-venezuela.html

Moskowitz on Noem: "Is she hiding her face like her ICE agents now? By the way - is this what the $800b went to? Every day we see her after some new tragedy, she's wearing a different outfit with a different hat. She looks ridiculous. She deserves to be removed from her job, & if not impeached."

Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists. Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election. Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot. It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.

What I always hear: β€œWe can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.” What I never hear: β€œWe can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.” Funny how that works.

NCDHHS can’t put health care costs on a credit card. The longer the General Assembly refuses to fund our Medicaid program, the more they erode our health care system. They need to do their jobs.
