Addiction is not a choice, or a personal failing, but a complex mental health condition that should be met with empathy and support

They’re slashing ICE’s tires in Charlotte. Is 12 years in NC enough to feel state pride without it being stolen valor?

Vaccines do not cause autism.

But listening to unqualified hacks repeat debunked science and letting them make decisions for other people will kill you just as sure as if you did it to yourself.

The only people who should be involved in a medical decision are you and your chosen doctor.

While I know it's a good thing and I've wanted to see it happen, it's kinda hard to be excited about the Epstein files when your city is being overrun by ICE/CBP

Protesters have gathered in Uptown Charlotte to speak out against Border Patrol earlier today.

Instead of $2000 "tariff dividend" checks, why not fund the ACA and bring my upcoming premium for my family of 5 back to where it is today...or somewhat close.

Is this accurate? AG Jackson, did you really sign a letter asking for hemp to be reclassified? Knowing what impact that would have on NC's economy?

39 Attorneys General Tell Federal Lawmakers to Ban Hemp THC Products
The bipartisan group wrote a letter to GOP committee leaders, asking that they redefine hemp in the appropriations process or farm bill reauthorization.

One of the least talked about repercussions of today's vote. Knowing what I do of the NC industry, this is bad for us too. I personally use alts for anxiety and depression, so this is very discouraging to see.
At the eleventh hour, Mitch McConnell slipped a provision into the federal spending bill that could end the shutdown—banning Delta 8 THC, THCA & even most CBD products. Congressional Republicans in Kentucky, one of the largest producers of hemp, are unhappy. My latest.

Republicans have left the building.
Trump has left the country.

It's clear they're OK if you can't afford healthcare.
It's clear they're OK if federal workers don't get paid.
And, it's clear they're OK if millions of kids go hungry.

It's clear they don't care about you.

Welp.
Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:

Vaccines are safe and effective.

Autism isn't caused by vaccines, and autistic people and their families deserve our support.

When you want information, ask your doctor.

It's more important than ever for all of us to speak plainly, truthfully, and directly about public health.

Every single one of these North Carolina politicians voted to shut down the federal government rather than allow the Affordable Care Act to continue operating, which will result in a doubling of everyone's health insurance premiums.

Of course, their healthcare will remain unaffected.
