Multiple sources have confirmed that ICE/Border Patrol is headed back to the Raleigh and Durham areas for undefined deportation actions. We've heard 50 ICE agents, charter flights and hotels booked for all of them in the Raleigh area.

Let us know what you hear.

The GOP's "healthcare plan" was repealing the ACA. Now they're mad about subsidies they enabled while blocking public options and boosting junk plans? If they truly want to take on insurers, next stop: universal healthcare. #TrumpCrushesYourDreams

Prices keep rising, #healthcare will soon be unaffordable for millions & housing costs are out of control.

He can insult one, or many, female reporters, but not the intelligence of the entire country. We see what’s going on & will vote accordingly.

Michael Whatley is affirmatively running on ICE/CBP invasion and I hope NC can make him pay the price for this.

And just so we are clear it’s never been about what this country can’t afford.
It’s about what — and who — it chooses to prioritize.

Shapiro: He rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there are a whole lot of people who get SNAP. He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own.

Does anyone else find it infuriating seeing ads for Black Friday. Do big corporations really think people are going to be out Black Friday shopping this year?? In my family we are barely meeting our bills thanks to the government shutdown.

Hope you billionaires are enjoying your tax cuts.
