All that’s in right now in NC is mailed-in ballots. Very Democratic, as expected — but if you look down the statewide races, you see interesting patterns: Dems a bit stronger in AG, LTG, SoS, Super races and a little weaker in Audit, Ag, Labor, Insurance, Treasurer #ncpol

Well, I may not have power, water, WiFi, or childcare in the wake of Helene, but the news must flow. So grateful to @TheAssemblyNC and @thefoodsection for working with me to get this story on WNC's grocery situation online. https://t.co/NLQiRZk5L9

One more today for @TheAssemblyNC. Two men staying at an evacuation shelter in Fletcher tell how they escaped from their apartment building as it flooded with 20 feet of water from the nearby Swannanoa River in Asheville.

BTW: can I give a HUGE shout-out to @BlueRidgePublic. If you ever forget how important radio is, go through an experience like this--you'll never take them for granted again.

[Erin Gretzinger @GretzingerErin]

After @UNCG cut 20 programs in spring, campus became mired in confusion & distrust.

600+ pages of emails & deep reporting by @Chronicle & @Assembly reveal that who called the shots was often murky & the process lauded as data-driven can be subjective.

Gang, I’m really excited about this series and this first entry.

With Postmark: Greensboro we’re taking you back in time to tell you how the city’s past shaped its present and will impact its future.

Come back with us…

Jane is the best boss I've ever had. She's a quiet force for good journalism in the Triangle (& has gotten up at 5am for years to send newsletters!) & advocates for her staff—sad to lose her as EIC but happy she's getting back to the reporting she loves. https://t.co/0yt0b4aW8o

Army vet Shelane Etchison, who broke gender barriers in Afghanistan and Syria, is polished and confident as she runs for Congress in NC. But running against the two-party system has its own challenges. By @jimmorrill for @TheAssemblyNC. #ncpol https://t.co/L4nTlCpgBP

[WUNC @wunc]

On Due South, @j__still of @TheAssemblyNC dives deep into the world of the Shibumi, from its origin story on Emerald Isle to those who love, and those who don't love, the seemingly ubiquitous sunshade.

Terrific @Barry_Yeoman piece in @TheAssemblyNC on the lack of blue-collar candidates in #ncpol, why it matters, & some of the people who are trying to change it 🔽🔽

Also pleased to see @Nick_Carnes_' important scholarship weaved throughout

Jesse Helms, the figurative bomb-throwing TV commentator and arch-conservative U.S. senator, died 16 years ago, but his legacy is alive and kicking—especially in a gridlocked Congress. By Helms historian @Lankwa for @TheAssemblyNC. #ncpol https://t.co/72LQOh4C1i

Summerfield was incorporated in 1996 to keep itself separate from Greensboro. Now that all nine town employees have resigned, the future of the antigrowth suburb is more uncertain than ever. By @renLarson_ for @TheAssemblyNC. #ncpol https://t.co/RV9jmREBAX

[Ren Larson @renLarson_]

NEW from me: What's behind the push to legalize video lottery terminals in NC?

Lots of money & Bobby Huckabee, someone whose actions inadvertently tipped off investigators into former N.C. House Speaker Jim Black’s corruption 2 decades ago.#ncga #ncpol

Ranked-choice voting is the hottest electoral reform in America. North Carolina tried it 16 years ago and quickly abandoned it—what happened? By @chriscooperwcu for @TheAssemblyNC. #ncpol https://t.co/uxdqCdMBP0
