If you're in the trenches of EOGs this week - good luck. Just remember - our teachers, schools, and especially kids are much more than just a test score. ✏️
North Carolina is the only state in the entire nation operating without a budget. The leaders of our state legislature failed to pass one last year, and just sort of... gave up, because it was too hard. Here's what might happen next. All of these guys look like clowns. 🤡
Here's what happened this week in North Carolina politics. [May 8, 2026] Still no budget. But at least they're not really working on one. Congrats, graduates - come help us fix North Carolina! 🎓
Here's what happened this week in North Carolina politics. [May 15, 2026] No, we don't have a budget yet - and they're feeling the pressure to show some progress. The May edition of the Carolina Forward Poll is in! Results dropping Monday. Get ready - it's a doozy. 📈
Here's what happened this week in North Carolina politics. The leaders of our state legislature have decided local voters have too much power, and they need to take it for themselves. Are they right? 🤔
Here's what happened this week in North Carolina politics. [March 20, 2026] Berger might be done. Who's going to pay for firefighters? They should be less Craven.

The worst kind of misinformation is mostly just folks honestly not knowing how stuff works, and then getting frustrated when it doesn't.

Day 462 - Cutting gasoline/energy prices 50% by 19 JAN 2026 ? Just another broken promise. This video shows trump making that promise on 29 September 2024 at a campaign rally in Erie Pennsylvania. He also promised to NOT allow cuts to Medicaid/Medicare, and to lower grocery prices on day 1. Nope

On Team Hampton since Birmingham. (Not everyone was, to be honest.) Her ability to spread the field as a goalkeeper always stood out. (Also thought her command of the box was good.) Today it's her shot-stopping, which feels like it's improved a lot over the years.
