BREAKING: North Carolina Senate just voted to OVERRIDE Democrat Governor Josh Stein's VETO of a bill opting in to Trump's school choice program.
The vote was 30โ19.
The House already voted 73โ46.
North Carolina is now the 31st state to opt in to Trump's school choice program.
@_Credible_Hulk He used to be a neoliberal and (more often than not) good at policy, until he ran for a state Democratic Party position and became a populist and partisan.
๐จ BREAKING ๐จ
Investigations are now underway into non-profits to uncover potential Chinese funding behind opposition to U.S. data centers.
China is racing full speed to build the AI infrastructure needed to dominate the next generation of technology and warfare.
At the same time, they are actively working to sabotage Americaโs ability to build the data centers, energy capacity, and compute power required to compete and win the AI race. Foreign money and CCP-aligned outlets are flooding the debate with claims that American data centers drive up electricity costs, strain local resources, and harm communities.
Now, the @HouseGOP is claiming they have evidence these arguments are manufactured by foreign agents and are being used to slow or outright block projects nationwide to aide the CCP.
While China subsidizes and accelerates its own AI buildout, it benefits from this manufactured opposition delaying Americaโs progress. Every delayed project gives China more time to close the gap in the global AI arms race.
America cannot lead in AI if we let foreign adversaries shape the debate over whether we even build the infrastructure to power it. Local community concerns deserve real attention, but they must not be weaponized by our foreign adversaries to kneecap U.S. competitiveness.
@micah_erfan The overwhelming consensus of the minimum wage literature is that thereโs a negative impact on employment. ~75% if studies in the new minimum wage lit find a negative impact. Not only that, but theyโre also far kore likely to be statistically significant than non-negative results
If this is "help," then it's helping by making the least skilled workers unemployable and small businesses less competitive.
A higher minimum wage doesn't create productivity. It makes it illegal to hire someone below an arbitrary threshold.
Large corporations adapt through automation, price increases, and economies of scale. Small businesses have fewer options, and vulnerable workers lose opportunities.
That's not helping. It's sacrificing workers and small businesses for a slogan.

It was wildly inappropriate for the federal government to provide seed money (and implicit endorsement) to a radical activist group like SOGIE. Funding for leftist vanguards was common under Biden and received ~0 pushback from federal agencies.
This should never happen again.
I'm on @NRO discussing the results of new @pewresearch poll.
A very high percentage of the messages about abortion that churchgoers hear from clergy are from an exclusvely pro-life perspective.
