It’s hard enough to start a small business and now, reckless tariffs are making it even harder to succeed.

Senator Warnock said it best: tariffs are a tax on ordinary people.

“An infant would be a United States citizen and full member of society if born in New Jersey, but a deportable noncitizen if born in Tennessee.”
The Supreme Court’s ruling on birthright citizenship is a Trump power grab
The implications for citizenship are complex. But when it comes to Trump’s ability to implement his policies, the result is dangerous.

MAJOR: The Trump Administration has been caught lying about the D.C. shooting suspect.

The truth: He was vetted by Trump. He had a CIA badge, worked with the CIA in Afghanistan, and granted asylum by Trump in April.

Listen…If y’all want to talk honesty, then let’s be honest about all of it.

The promises, the hypocrisy, the receipts.

Because what you campaigned on and what you’re doing? Two very different things.

So Trump's Border Patrol invaded Charlotte, and then Raleigh, and other towns all over North Carolina.

What did it all accomplish? 🤬

MAJOR NEWS: Federal judges, including a Trump appointee, just BLOCKED Texas Republicans from using their new gerrymandered congressional map in 2026, ruling it was likely an illegal racial gerrymander. TX must revert to its 2021 map as Trump’s redistricting power grab collapses.

For @msmagazine.com, I wrote about the WNBA and the issue of pay equity. By the time the WNBA was only two seasons in (1999-2000) the average NBA salary was 58 times higher than the average WNBA salary. Twenty-six years later, the gap has jumped to 116 times higher.

The North Carolina State Board of Elections is in chaos, and now led by people who do not believe in fair and impartial election administration.

There's only one way to overcome this kind of bias: to vote in large numbers that can't be suppressed. 📈

REMINDER: President Biden NEVER cut SNAP payments, never even had a government shutdown.

In fact, he cut child poverty in half.
He cut child hunger, too.

I miss having a REAL President.

One fact about food stamps (SNAP) in North Carolina that many people don't know is that while urban/suburban counties have more recipients overall (because that's where most people live), rural counties have many more recipients as a proportion of their population.

Support for abortion rights are effectively a 60/40 issue in North Carolina. A consistent majority of voters support reproductive freedom, and only a tiny, fringe minority of hardcore anti-choice activists want to ban it.
