The SCOTUS case which threatened mail-in voting, and that was joined by North Carolina's Attorney General, Jeff Jackson, was just won at the Supreme Court by the defenders against the Republican efforts to force states to discard legitimate ballots.

Not exactly a "fresh controversy"... but some companies and people involved in the issue are named... I hadn't seen that earlier. There are also fairly detailed descriptions of what was actually displayed in the booth that was supposed to represent our state.

Hopefully, there won't be enough ignorant folks to allow this to actually be "under the radar".

This is GOP governance in NC... we deserve far better!

I just don't get it... 😦

A deeply offensive and traitorous symbol was removed from North Carolina's booth at the Great American State Fair. Mount Olive Pickle Company had earlier withdrawn it's sponsorship of the privately sponsored booth, objecting to the disgraceful object, and deserves to be commended for its principled actions.

More details on how the Trump and the Republican DOJ's Federal PFAS settlement screwed NC... and how AG Jeff Jackson is responding...

Whatley proudly and loudly declares that he's a son of western North Carolina.

... turns out that he's really not!

What other "fibs" would he tell us to get elected?

The GOP is going all in on voter suppression and election interference... this time in the middle of the day instead of in the dead of night.

Jackson is still pushing for more reduction in the rate increases.

With "unaffiliated" clearly being the dominant choice of newly registered voters, it will be that group of voters that dominate the coming midterms. I believe that Republicans are desperately scrambling to keep that from becoming a reality. Unfortunately for those Republicans, those "unaffiliated" are already seeing, in all of the current news, that the tack being taken by GOPs is to attack their ability to vote... that's not likely to help either the state, or the Republicans.

I wonder how this aligns with his politics... pretty sure I can guess.

... and it WILL affect how I vote in November!

Still not good enough to sit back on our laurels... but feeling hopeful as more and more Tarheels see the Republicans keep pushing their odious and embarrassing GOP election subversion attempts.

It would be great if this were to prove itself effective... too many of the afflicted can't get access to treatment.

This is part of the NC GOP's efforts to subvert elections in the state. Will they be able to do it?

They will if you vote wrong, or just don't vote at all...

The GOP has hidden this pile of shit behind a curtain... but it's still festering in their nefarious bag of tricks. They'll pull it out from under their rock as soon as they think we're no longer looking.

If this rare pullback by the GOP makes ANYONE think that they can rest on their asses and not continue the pressure, and also push everyone they know to vote against these miscreants, we can still be sunk.

This bipartisan measure came out of Governor Stein's N.C. Energy Policy Task Force. Nice to see what can be done when Republicans are willing to engage with Democrats' rational proposals instead of attacking them.

That damned Jeff Jackson fellow is at it again! Trying to restore food benefits for hungry children... taking money right out of the wallets of those taxpayers who would rather that money go toward a beautiful, drone-resistant ballroom. Should our public officials be participating in this terrible wealth transfer? And for money to feed kids???
