Duke Energy has a legal monopoly on electricity in North Carolina. They're also one of the biggest spenders on lobbying and political campaigns in our state legislature.
They're trying to flex that muscle right now to pass Senate Bill 261 in our legislature. Don't let them get away with it.

This may be the most beautiful sign I have seen at one of these (even though the subject matter is so ugly). The artist who painted it said she started it feeling angry and it was therapeutic. Especially love the bling. #HandsOffLA

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.
We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.
They own what happens next.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

For the last two days, Sean Duffy has been blaming Pete Buttigieg, Joe Biden, the Democrats, and anyone else he can think of for the fact that under *HIS* watch, planes are crashing on a near-daily basis. Maybe fewer joyrides to the Daytona 500 and a little more attention paid to transportation.

Republicans and Trump's nominees are pushing for Medicaid work requirements.
They think people are mooching off the system.
But 64% of people on Medicaid already have a job. Most others that don't have a valid reason.
