BREAKING: As many as 150 U.S. troops have been wounded in the war with Iran, according to sources familiarβ€”far higher than the Pentagon’s publicly disclosed figure of just 8 seriously wounded troops. The true toll of this war is already far worse than the public has been told. (Reuters)

Republican Rep. Monica De La Cruz is getting some press after escorting one of the students out of ICE detention but remember that she proudly voted for the bill that made ICE the highest-funded β€œlaw enforcement” agency in the nation: delacruz.house.gov/news/documen...

Republican Rep. Kiley leaves GOP, tightening Johnson's margins Kiley said he will still caucus with Republicans for administrative purposes.

Republican Rep. Kiley of CA has left the GOP, now declaring himself an Independent. Speaker Mike Johnson's majority is tightening like a noose around his neck.

The possibility of a Dem. controlled House before the midterms is closer than ever to becoming a reality.

What should North Carolina do about datacenters?

The biggest problem with datacenters is that they're forcing everyone else to pay more to subsidize their business. Our lawmakers are completely capable of putting an end to the subsidies - here's how.

The administration’s rationale for the Iran β€œwar,” or β€œspecial military operation,” depending on the hour, keeps changing. This one is a twist. It seems to say that high gas prices are caused by Iran's nuclear threat.

Most of the farms in North Carolina are pretty small; but most of the farmLAND is in giant estates.

Most of those smaller properties are the "family farms" so many of us treasure. But they account for a very small amount of total farming output in North Carolina.
