Spoke with Gov. Cooper about this earlier today. NC lawmakers plan to override his veto on a voucher expansion bill next week. Cooper said they should let the veto stand and spend those dollars on Helene recovery instead. I asked NCGA leadership to respond; they did not. #ncpol
Western NC legislators should demand immediate state funding for Helene recovery - including small business and local gov grants - instead of billions of dollars for private school vouchers for the wealthy that hurt rural public schools and fund mostly urban counties. - RC

Trump has both fueled & drawn strength from ebbing trust in media. How?
* Conservative ecosystem created to prop up right wing forces & discredit media
* real flaws & defensiveness of legacy media
* profit-driven collapse of local news we rely on for accountability reporting
Will DJT seek vengeance against the media in the White House? How Trump 2.0 might play out.

If Trump delivers on his rhetoric, and that of his advisers, his WH will deliver onslaught against sources of independent and potentially authoritative information
* news media
* universities
* medical research centers
* climate research centers
* libraries
no doubt others
"Conservative forces have created this alternative media ecosphere."

"The report said it found 'unprecedented' levels of international law violations, raising concerns about 'war crimes and other possible atrocity crimes.' ... 44% of verified victims were children and 26% women. The ages most represented among the dead were 5- to 9-year-olds."
Nearly 70% of Gaza war dead are women and children, UN says bbc.in/4fH3RfP

The root cause of our divides is not a lack of information. It’s a lack of trust.
Faith in media, government, and the law has plummeted. People dismiss the message when they doubt the source.
A key to healing America is increasing the neutrality and integrity of institutions.

🚨This is an invaluable resource for many a journalist and researcher - utterly non partisan but a source for transparency about money in politics now under financial threat
SCOOP: OpenSecrets, the nonpartisan money-in-politics research nonprofit, laid off 10 employees yesterday due to financial difficulties. Much of the research team were among the casualties, which constituted around a third of the group’s total headcount. politico.com/newsletters/pla…

The workers in Mexico were working on coding, according to a person with knowledge of the company. The move was met with outrage among the Trump Media staff, who accused its leadership of betraying their “America First” ideals, the person said.

Doctors said it was “inevitable” that Josseli Barnica would miscarry. Yet they waited 40 hours for the fetal heartbeat to stop. She died of an infection 3 days later.
@Propublica explores her death and how absolutely preventable it was. 👇 propublica.org/article/josse…

Abusive bosses don't drive performance. They undermine it.
471 studies, 149k people, 36 countries: in aggressive workplaces, we do poorer work, collaborate less, and shirk more. Incivility breaks confidence and breeds resentment.
The best way to get results is to show respect.

The new head of UNC’s School of Civic Life came from Duke, where colleagues said he genuinely believed in civil discourse. But six months in, the school’s critics are more convinced than ever that it’s a right-wing think tank in disguise.

Who will lead North Carolina public schools? The superintendent’s race could go down to the wire. Polls have Mo Green leading Michele Morrow by 2-3 points, but 'this is a purple state defined by tight margins so anything can happen.' #nced #ncpol newsobserver.com/news/politi…
