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.

* bar Attorney General @jeffjacksonnc.bsky.social from representing NC SBE in court, and allocate $1.5M of taxpayer money to pay for private Republican attorneys instead * change campaign finance disclosure rules to require less transparency around Election Day.

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.
