When I post about RFK Jr. undermining vaccines, I’m noticing more and more comments saying things like “I am glad my state is part of a coalition that is not listening to him”.

I’m sorry but I really have to stand up for myself and independent media here. Everyone is crediting Ken Delanian for the Maxwell sex offender waiver story, but I was hours ahead of him. Hours. Independent media is important.

What makes a country great in the 21st century is science, and it’s really insane to purposefully destroy its science enterprise.

Republicans are now suddenly planning to TAX renewable energy, transforming the repeal of the IRA from a challenge to a full-blown crisis for American solar and wind.

I spent the last 24 hours putting this story together to explain why.

The “One Big Beautiful Bill” is a total disaster for our state.

522,000 North Carolinians would lose health insurance, rural hospitals would close, and families could see premiums skyrocket by nearly $19,000. We can’t afford this.

Why are we excusing their abhorrent behavior? Musk & Trump are morally bankrupt.
