I'm calling for an investigation into whether President Trump manipulated the market to benefit his Wall Street donors—all while working people and small businesses paid the price.
Did Trump help insiders cash in on his tariff flip-flopping? It sure looks like corruption.

Our health care system must improve to meet the needs of North Carolinians. But House Republicans want to slash health care funding, including eliminating Medicaid for hundreds of thousands of North Carolinians.
I joined @protectourcare.org to stand up for Medicaid in #NC02.

Important article. This center was taking new approaches to studying Alzheimer’s and other dementias.

Scoop --> Trump-Musk cuts just resulted in the firing of numerous top researchers at NIH's center for combating Alzheimer's, sources tell me. They predict big setbacks to fighting dementias.
This cause was once championed by *Republicans.*

Oops: Trump-Musk Cuts Just Wrecked an NIH Org Championed by GOPers
Republicans once lavished praise on an NIH center that deals with Alzheimer’s. Donald Trump and Elon Musk are hobbling it. What will they say now?

The thing about destroying NIH is NIH’s scale in medical research just dwarfs everyone else.
For ex, in 2023 the American Cancer Society gave out $64.5 million worth of grants. Sounds big, right?
But NIH’s budget was $49 billion. With a B.
Kill NIH and the floor drops out of US science.

The SAVE Act will require voters to provide unnecessary documentation to vote.
This bill would make voting harder for people of color, women, and low-income people — groups of people who already face more difficulties at the polls.

As companies shell out big bucks for Super Bowl commercials, remember that many said they were forced to raise prices due to inflation.
Also remember that average profit margins in nearly every sector in the S&P 500 are running near or above 10-year highs.

Today, a Wake County court is hearing a baseless, GOP-backed attempt at throwing out 60K votes in the North Carolina Supreme Court Race.
We urge the court to protect the electoral process and pave the way for the rightful certification of Justice Riggs’ victory.
