One of the best reporters in North Carolina, @lucillesherman.bsky.social, shared that she had a miscarriage while covering the 12-week abortion ban the General Assembly passed two years ago. Our personal stories matter, no matter what the journalism gods say. www.axios.com/local/raleig...

Two years ago, I covered NC's abortion bill while having a miscarriage
Friday marked the anniversary of when NC's new abortion restrictions became law. I covered the bill's passage while I was actively miscarrying. It changed me in an instant.

New from me this week: North Carolina's booming hemp industry is completely unregulated: no age limits, safety standards or oversight. State lawmakers have a big challenge ahead of them this year in trying to wrap their arms around it. www.axios.com/local/raleig...

In the NC General Assembly’s new Hurricane Helene relief bill, Republican lawmakers would move the State Board of Elections to the State Auditor’s office, which will be led by a Republican for the first time in more than a decade. Governor loses appointment powers over the board too.
