NC lawmakers are rapidly expanding publicly-funded funded vouchers for private schools while public schools remain underfunded. A North Carolina lawmaker dishes on who has the most to lose.
We have knocked down so many closed doors and created greater opportunities for others, yet in the same breath, men like Robinson seek to take us backwards.
“My philosophy is pretty basic,” Stein said. “Government can help create conditions for you to succeed, and that’s what we should do. Help you set standards, and make sure that there’s fair rules of the road, and they’re equally enforced, and then get out of the way, and certainly don’t create problems for ourselves.”
From his failed response to COVID-19 to his role in the overturning Roe v. Wade to his new economic agenda that could cause job losses and price hikes, Donald Trump has proven he can’t protect Americans, writes Chris Edelson.

Judge Jefferson Griffin lost his race but is still trying to toss out 65,000 votes. At ‘Disenfranchised Disco’ on Friday night, North Carolinians proved that protecting democracy requires mobilization—both on and off the dance floor.
There have been several previous rulings in separate courts, both state and federal, but those dealt with procedural issues. On Friday, a state judge will hear the first arguments about the fundamental questions at hand.
