An important win by Allison Riggs, the Democratic justice & candidate in the 2024 North Carolina supreme court race: a federal appeals court pauses state courts' order that helped her GOP opponent's bid to overturn Riggs' win in November.
BREAKING: Fourth Circuit, on a 2-1 vote, stops all implementation of N.C. courts' orders in the state supreme court election. Niemeyer, joined by Heytens, writes the decision. Quattlebaum dissents, finding the district court order to be an unappealable TRO. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Looks like tomorrow will bring votes on a Republican plan to fund tax cuts for the rich by slashing Medicaid.
So this is a great time to contact your Member of Congress.
