It’s probably politically and numerically impossible for NC’s governor to veto this bill.

But it’s dang easy - even in 15-30 seconds - to show that the “pro-life” R legislators in NC are instead bloodthirsty hypocrites.

Throwback to our video on how NC got to be as gerrymandered as it is! Now Phil Berger is trying to score points with Trump and is promising to gerrymander our state further. Stay loud about this! We deserve fair maps and laws that help all North Carolinians, not more gerrymandering.

These people are old hands at creating the worst illegal gerrymanders. NC Republicans will take a state that is literally split ideologically, and have us sending 11 Rs and 3 D's to Congress. That hurts the whole country, not just #NCpol.

Don’t forget that the GOP-controlled NC legislature was achieved through gerrymandered, unconstitutional maps to begin with. #ncpol

A) NC is already extremely gerrymandered, from 7-7 in 2022 to 11-3 if this goes as they hope
B) This is Phil Berger's attempt to win Big Orange's favor as Berger is in a bitter primary fight against a MAGA challenger

Let's be clear: If North Carolina Republicans gerrymander their already illegal map further, they will be sued and they will lose.

I never bluff and I usually win.

Some families in America are on track to pay over $22,000 more per YEAR for their health insurance.

Where are their Republican senators?
Three panels of Senator Elizabeth Warren saying:

Thanks to Republicans in Congress, a 60-year-old couple making $85k/year will have to pay over $22,000 more EVERY YEAR to keep their coverage.

TWENTY TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS.

For families already hanging on by their fingernails, that could be a matter of life and death.

One thing I haven’t seen reported about the ICE building protest: they have 10-20 costumes on a rack that anyone is free to use. Put it on, inflate it and protest!

I didn’t receive high speed internet where I live until 2022, and it’s been great. Going from 25 Mbps to 1Gb has been a game changer, especially since I am a remote worker. Denying high speed internet to rural communities is ridiculous in this digital landscape. #ncpol #rural #internet

EXCLUSIVE: A cell-site simulator, commonly referred to as an IMSI-catcher or "Stingray," may have been used at the ICE facility in Portland.

Analysis of cellular signals in the area showed phones receiving abnormal spikes in requests for their unique identifiers. san.com/cc/exclusive...

Part of what's happening now was laid out by Stephen Miller on a podcast with Charlie Kirk in early 2024, then shortly after in an article on Feb 8 from The Atlantic. Trump's court losses only lead to further blurring of the lines between "legal" and overt dictatorial power.
screenshot of an article, text reads; How Trump and his advisers intend to staff such a program would make a prospective Trump deportation campaign even more volatile. Stephen Miller, Trump's top immigration adviser, has publicly declared that they would pursue such an enormous effort partly by creating a private red-state army under the president's command. Miller says a reelected Trump intends to requisition National Guard troops from sympathetic Republican-controlled states and then deploy them into Democratic-run states whose governors refuse to cooperate with their deportation drive.
Such deployment of red-state forces into blue states, over the objections of their mayors and governors, would likely spark intense public protest and possibly even conflict with law-enforcement agencies under local control. And that conflict itself could become the justification for further insertion of federal forces into blue jurisdictions, notes Joseph Nunn, a counsel in the Liberty & National Security Program at the Brennan Center for Justice at NYU Law

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a cancer vaccine that has shown STUNNING results, PREVENTING up to 88% of MULTIPLE aggressive cancers by harnessing dual-pathway nanoparticles that train the immune system to recognize and destroy tumor cells. In some cases, it COMPLETELY prevented metastasis.
