"Stein’s petition argues that would effectively put the legislature in control of the executive branch, undermining the separation of powers established by the state constitution." #ncpol #separationofpowers www.cbs17.com/news/north-c...

The Confederacy existed to preserve, protect, and expand the institution of slavery and the system of white supremacy tied to it, but there's no explaining that to the GOP. #ncpol

Duke Energy is among the corporations whose money is helping fund the controversial political ad for Ohio gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy that weaponizes the rape of his opponent, Amy Acton, when she was a child.

"whats wrong with the younger generation why is no one having kids anymore" like 5 seconds after they cut all the school buses and fired half the teachers because there's no property tax revenue to fund them anymore

Students from North Carolina A&T can be seen marching back to their HBCU after voting on the first day of early voting in the state. The Guilford County Board of Elections voted to remove the school’s on-campus polling site. (video via Todd Simmons) greensboro.com/news/local/g...

NC is supposed to pay for personnel for public schools. Local governments are supposed to pay for the facilities... Wake County spent a total of $600 million... on things the state is supposed to pay for. #voteblue

$15M is a tiny fraction of the #ncga budget. But “it means so much to veterans, survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking, disaster victims, and others…” #ncpol

Today, Robert E. Hall was awarded the 2026 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences. This is from a statement he released after the announcement:

Glad to see the John Locke Foundation has maintained the standard of their work #ncpol #ClownShow

Dan Levy doing what more men should do -- calling out Shane Gillis's misogyny. This is the top story on Variety right now, alongside a report on Russell Brand's rape trial beginning. In case we're still wondering why women are angry variety.com/2026/tv/news...

Someone's racist uncle on Facebook lost his girlfriend in the Russian bot farm fire and you're laughing!

🧵🧵🧵 I was going to write a simple sentence about the madness of the moment, but I got distracted by the U.S. president’s complaint that he was screwed out of the Nobel Peace Prize after bombing multiple countries, and then he bolstered his case with a plan to execute a guy in a wheelchair and ...

Remember that 21,000+ acre farm here in NC where workers keep dying? You'd think they're doing that "to make a profit." LOL no. If that were true, they probably wouldn't have gotten FORTY MILLION DOLLARS in arrears with their bank.

Who's the garbage? Rep. Greg Murphy said people who have lived in the United States for decades can become "collateral damage" in immigration enforcement, then declared, "Thank God we're getting rid of the garbage that's in our country." #ncpol www.latintimes.com/greg-murphy-...

Cookie shop couldn't go after him because Marshall conflicted out all the debt collection lawyers in Kansas. Sad.

They're suspending the gas tax until the end of November. 🙄 #ncpol The NCGOP has been congratulating itself non-stop for days now, and this tax suspension amounts to peanuts.

Ex-legislator Sarah Stevens told a reporter that if she’s elected to the state Supreme Court, she is open to “changing her mind” about whether the bills she voted for are constitutional. She is ADMITTING that she would come to the case with a bias. #ncpol www.theassemblync.com/news/politic... #ncga

Dictator Move of the Day. (This is my second DMOD today. It's a busy day for authoritarians.)

Today, I learned my state senator, Jay Chaudhuri, supports capital punishment. You'd think my district was competitive, but it's solidly blue. SMH 🙄 #ncpol Gift link: www.newsobserver.com/news/politic...

This happened in NC! #ncpol

Remember when the GOP pretended to believe in accountability? I don't either. #ncpol

NCGOP can't win an honest election. The irony here is that they accused Biden of trying to buy an election. Also, they created this problem. #ncpol www.cbs17.com/news/north-c...

Blow or Hand?

"It's their shame, not yours" Make the noise, y'all

A truly heinous man has doxxed the Cornell victim on X and the comments are predictably vile. Based on countless interviews I’ve done with survivors, the trauma they are subjected to for coming forward is oftentimes even worse than the initial trauma they experienced. There is no real justice system

if i send you this, it means im feelin wrong and strong

I wish Republican politicians had the capacity to be embarrassed by their dishonesty. The fact that they don't makes them more dangerous.

This man is a monster. He seeks out women survivors because he hates them. And he hates them because he hates himself. He has harassed me and other women survivors many times over the years. It must end. He should never have a job anywhere.

Marco Rubio: "Anything that had a chance of making money in Cuba was controlled by the Cuban military and the Cuban communist party to line the pockets of a handful of individuals at the expense of the entire country"

"For this story, NC Local requested an interview with Boliek, a request which his office did not grant." #ncpol

I have no doubt that the poll was garbage, but the Carolina Journal is essentially the NCGOP’s communications arm. #ncpol www.wunc.org/politics/202...

This means eligible voters will be wrongly labeled non-citizens due to faulty and unreliable data and be purged from the rolls

When you discover mom and dad are secretly communist agents looking to destroy the USA from within.

When will reporters ask Republicans why they’re taking campaign help from a white supremacist named Elon Musk?

Petty tyrants #ncpol "We are fools if we do not think that [Gene Nichol's] exercise of his First Amendment rights does not end up representing to the legislature what they think every single person on this campus believes about them,” Blaine said. Gift link: www.newsobserver.com/news/local/e...

The US Chamber of Commerce must think insider trading and efforts to undermine democracy (independent legislative theory and gerrymandering) is good for business. It endorsed Representative Tim Moore for 2026. #ncpol www.uschamber.com/improving-go...
