The potential absence of so many teachers will cause some schools to make adjustments, such as have students eat in their classrooms.
Teachers at more than 50 NC schools will walk out Wednesday. Parents, be ready.

Take a look at this very good George Conway launch video here, for his campaign in the congressional district I grew up in.
I look forward to joining him as he campaigns on Broadway near Fairway, Zabar's, and Absolute Bagels. (I only do the West Side.)

Can we please have Trump’s plan to have taxpayers reimburse oil companies for their costs in Venezuela put in an appropriations bill so representatives of the people can vote on the record whether they support that like the Founders intended? Congress still exists, right?

ACA enrollment growth since enhanced premium tax credits were put in place is dramatically skewed towards red states. Yet, no Republican voted for the ACA originally, or for the enhanced tax credits.

Yes. State and local jurisdictions collect and submit the data. State and local health departments would be able to see if what CDC is reporting does not match what they submitted.
Is the CDC data reliable under the current regime?

As of today, North Carolina is the only state in the country without a budget.
The General Assembly needs to come back to Raleigh next week to fully fund Medicaid and then pass a budget that meaningfully invests in our people and our state.

The administration is now APPEALING the court decision requiring it to provide full food assistance to Americans.
There’s no other way to put it: They are doing everything they can to take food away from Americans in need. Shameful.

Republican incompetence or just a way to obscure their role in hurting teachers and blocking access to healthcare?
NC House Speaker Destin Hall says there likely won't be any more sessions this year. This means no comprehensive state budget with school employees raises & Medicaid funding deal in 2025. (Via @lucianaperezu.bsky.social & @dawnbvaughan.bsky.social) www.newsobserver.com/news/politic... #ncpol #ncga
No deal on budget, raises or Medicaid as NC lawmakers leave town
One Democrat called a bill on raises passed by the House “literally just posturing,” as the House and Senate remain locked in stalemate.
