The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.
Sounds a lot like FDR's Second Bill of Rights:
North Carolinians deserve fair representation. We are already one of the most gerrymandered states in the country. Urge the NC GOP to back down on this antidemocratic proposal to silence voters.

How to solve climate change?
Just stop talking about it, according to the Trump Administration.
The overwhelming scientific consensus is that climate change is very much real and caused directly by human activities (primarily the burning of fossil fuels).

The Trump Administration is trying to sell off OUR public lands to industry (and they don't want you to know about it).

Trump's Sec. of Agriculture has proposed removing the Forest Service’s Roadless Rule, which protects over 100,000 acres of WNC's forests. We cannot afford to lose these forests.
You can comment on the proposal until Sep. 19th: www.roadless.org/m/

Next year, Americans will see the biggest jump in health insurance costs in 15 years.
Meanwhile, the six largest health insurers raked in more than $31 billion in net income last year.
Still not sure if we need Medicare for All?
15% of WNC's forests are at risk. Support the Roadless Area Conservation Act:

I sat down recently with NC-11 candidate Chris Harjes to discuss environmental issues in Western North Carolina:

"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have too much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little."

SB 266 would be disastrous for the people of NC (and the environment). Urge your state reps to uphold Governor Josh Stein's veto before they reconvene on the 29th.

MAGA politicians have zero empathy for the plight of ordinary Americans who depend on these programs.

Despite claiming that we were in an "energy crisis," Trump is now planning to discontinue the money- and energy-saving Energy Star program. Energy Star helps save American families over $40 billion in annual energy costs.

News media captured by Corp interests downplays climate emergency by treating extreme weather as aberrational one offs.
These outlets r purposely misleading people & putting them in danger to protect their advertisers & owners’ interests.
Which is why YellowDot releases The Extreme Weather Report.
“If the Trump administration can get away with violating the Constitution because it knows the courts will be too slow to prevent it, then those constitutional rights simply no longer exist,” Adam Serwer writes: https://theatln.tc/QtHNdGCu
I remember when the Supreme Court struck down student loan forgiveness, but members of Congress had their PPP loans forgiven.
The millionaires in Congress had their PPP loans forgiven.
Meanwhile, the Supreme Court refused to grant the 10-20k loan forgiveness Biden ordered for working class Americans.
The laws are not applied equally to the rich and the poor in this country.
Trump had some serious competition for last place with the likes of Andrew Johnson and Buchanan, but he's somehow managed to beat them.
BREAKING: Trump has issued an Executive Order that calls for repealing sections of the Civil Rights Act.
"...the Attorney General shall initiate appropriate action to repeal or amend the implementing regulations for Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.."
