According to the conservative @taxfoundation.bsky.social think tank, the Trump tariffs will cost the average American household $1,300 in 2026 alone, lead to a 0.5% reduction in GDP, and cost 436,000 jobs. Just a self-inflicted economic disaster. Full report: taxfoundation.org/research/all...

GOP congressmen want the National Guard in Charlotte. Here's where violent crime is a bigger problem.
Sure, the data can't always tell the entire story. But one representative who's asking for a deployment isn't suggesting the same solution for a more violent place in his own district.

Our cost of living is spiraling out of control, with no clear end in sight. There are many dimensions of our cost of living: housing, electricity, childcare, and especially, food. In the long term, they are a product of our political choices.

“I may not agree with a thing you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.” Everyone should be able to express their opinions freely. And no one should have to fear being a victim of violence. My thoughts and prayers to his loved ones and for our nation.

Since the 2008 global financial crisis, states experiencing rapid population growth have been unable to build enough housing. In North Carolina, approximately half a million housing units are needed just to meet current demand.

How did Gen X become so conservative? The Reagan presidency was supposed to be a cautionary tale, not a starter model. Alex P. Keaton was NOT a role model. You weren't supposed to watch Pretty in Pink and find Blair aspirational. I’m so disappointed in my fellow Gen Xers.

All of this - Most people can’t afford a $400-500K home on an acre lot. Forcing that model contributes to the housing crisis and to racial inequities in our cities. Shout out to the legislators who are trying to address it. #NCPol #AffordableHousing #YIMBY
