⚡️NEW: In Tennessee, Rep. @brotherjones.bsky.social has introduced the “STOP AMERICAN GESTAPO ACT” — requiring law enforcement not to wear masks, and to ID themselves. As Blackburn, Johnson, Sexton and the GOP try to codify masked vigilantism, Jones moves to ban it to protect the public.

Hot take: Not only are work requirements for Medicaid bad, tying health care to work at all is cruel and we should be doing it less not more. Everyone deserves health care. Everyone.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

Trump berates Zelensky, the leader of a democratic country courageously fighting Russian imperialism, while he allies himself with Putin, a dictator who started the bloodiest European war in 80 years. Sorry, President Trump. We believe in democracy, not authoritarianism.

Coming out of a bit of a news break whilst in L.A. and this is quite the hard re-entry: the president of Ukraine being lectured like a child by the U.S. president and vice president who want to steal his natural resources and hand chunks of his country to Putin. I have never been so embarrassed.

The rush to destroy things like USAID and other agencies before lawsuits can stop them is to make it moot. When our stupidly slow judicial system finally moves to stop them it will be far too late. If all 10,000 USAID employees are home and projects abandoned it’s done. It’s evil.

Regarding discussions about federal funding for WNC post-Helene, here’s a reminder of how hard Gov. Cooper has worked to assure more federal help. As disappointed as I am in the response from the NCGOP in the state legislature, I’m grateful to Gov. Cooper & Biden for arranging this deal last week.

The state budget director now estimates Helene recovery to be $58 billion. SB382 provides NOTHING for WNC, our community leaders have been ignored & the NCGOP has given nearly $1.4 billion to PRIVATE SCHOOLS (in the same timeframe) instead. #WNCHeleneRelief #CorruptNCGeneralAssembly

Alisha B. @ali-avl.bsky.social · 13/12/2024

To date, the NCGA’s financial commitment to rebuilding WNC post-Helene has been equal to a pathetic 2% of what is needed. The meager funding in SB382 isn’t even appropriated, meaning if it remains law, it will take WEEKS to see any minor progress from it. #NorthCarolina #HurricaneHelene #SB382

And beyond that, you’ve supported a sham “relief bill” that also denies the will of the people by taking powers away from our newly elected officials, voted in by North Carolinians who intended for them to have & use the powers of their offices.
