Good news for rural North Carolina. #ncpol #ncga https://t.co/dDSZt2SFkj

Yes, this is good news:

The city of Thomasville is one of the biggest recipients. An $825,000 grant will assist the city in providing a sewer extension for a new facility operated by Nucor, a steel manufacturing company.

Thomasville was once one of NC's largest furniture manufacturing hubs. While it still handles a lot of distribution, most of that furniture is made elsewhere. This new steel plant can make a difference, for a lot of families. That's what these grants are for, and not putting more icing on the RTP cake.

The new judge overseeing North Carolina’s long-running #Leandro school funding lawsuit signaled Friday that he will produce an order this week calling for additional state education spending.#ncga #ncpol #ncedhttps://t.co/v6R1FIO67V

Yeah, it's almost like the previous judge, and the judge before him, and the Republican Chief Justice of the NC Supreme Court, actually knew what they were talking about. Hmmm.

The facts: Ted Budd was a 'corporate insider' at Agribiotech- the company that bankrupted farmers, was sued for fraud (and lost), & made private deals with George Soros.

Why won't Budd come out of hiding & address this?

Is that why he won't come to a debate?#ncsen #ncpol

George Soros! Heavens, where are my smelling salts?

Will Elon Musk's purchase of Twitter have any impact on the #ncpol corner of twitterland?

Gee, I don't know, Andy. Are you or any other puppets going to be retweeting any of Donald Trump's propaganda if Musk lets him back in the living room?

Does not surprise me. If there are any worse Republicans than the ones voters elect, it's the ones Republicans themselves elect to run their county/district/state/national parties.

Should public school student athletes be able to freely and uncoerced participate in prayer after games? Supreme Court of the United States will rule this summer. #ncpol #ncga #nced #SCOTUS WHAT DO YOU THINKhttps://t.co/KMVsN23TRP

If the coach is leading the prayers, then there *is* a certain amount of coercion involved. If you can't grasp that, you know nothing about sports (or religious freedom).

Frankly Peck, it would be a relief to do so, since I wouldn't be exposed to your nonsense anymore. But I hate being told what to do...
