I generally love it on the very rare occasions when I get something right that no one knew on Jeopardy. But it was depressing tonight when no one knew which SCOTUS decision overturned Roe.

Voters understand that affordability is not a made-up word and inflation is not a hoax. Voters know that North Carolina's streets are not blood-soaked, because we live here. Trump's latest lies are a losing strategy--read more here: substack.com/home/post/p-...

Gaslighting Voters Is Not a Winning Strategy

The Trump admin’s big, ugly bill caused health care costs to skyrocket - and they have no real plan to fix it even as costs are expected to rise even more next year. Working people aren’t asking for luxury, they’re asking for affordable health care that won’t bankrupt them.

From the first responders who ran into burning buildings, to the brave passengers on Flight 93, to the communities that took care of each other, to the people who have fought tirelessly to bring care to 9/11 survivors, today reminds us not just to look for the helpers, but also to try to be one.

I'm back at it, watching the #GOPConvention so you don't have to. Up now, Laurie Buckhout, running against NC's Don Davis to flip a blue seat that has been gerrymandered for the Republicans. Fun fact about Buckhout: she's been banned from Kalshi for three years for betting on her race.

As a former researcher and campaign rapid responder, I've spent a lot of time responding to Republican conventions. So maybe I'm just feeling nostalgic that I'm not in Dallas for this Trump-a-palooza, but I've decided to watch the GOP midterm convention so you don't have to. Follow along...

If you’ve ever worked a 40-hour week, earned overtime or collected Social Security, you should know Frances Perkins. As FDR’s Labor Secretary, she helped build protections workers still rely on today and was the first woman to serve in a U.S. Cabinet. Remember her name. 🇺🇸 #SheShed #VivaHerAlliance
Vintage TIME magazine cover featuring Frances Perkins seated at a desk, wearing a hat and dark coat. The black-and-white portrait is framed by TIME’s classic red border. Text beneath reads “FRANCES PERKINS (1933) Architect of the New Deal.”

The release of Nathan Fielder's documentary is a good opportunity to remind people that Bad Blood is a perfect non-fiction book: fascinating story, engaging main character, PLUS the story of how the reporting came about. Go read it, and watch The Dropout when you're done.

Our state works because North Carolinians work hard. And a hard day’s work should come with fair pay, safe working conditions, affordable health care, and the opportunity to build a good life. This Labor Day, we honor the workers and unions who fought and continue to fight for those rights.

What if the best way to create the Democratic party we want to see is to elect a whole bunch of Democrats and actually hold some power? Then we can hold them to account. Great piece from @joanwalsh.bsky.social urging us to follow our candidates' leads and knock it off.
