On my way to DC this morning to advocate for more Helene funding, and I'm pleased to report that earlier this week, @fema announced additional support for our state – more than $200M to reimburse recovery work and support voluntary buyouts for homeowners in WNC. North Carolina is grateful for the continued partnership of the federal government. I will not stop working to make sure western NC gets the resources it needs to recover for the long haul.
A reminder, for the hard of thinking, it is a criminal offence to possess child pornography in the State of California.
Michael Jackson was not only not guilty of possessing any, he WASN’T EVEN CHARGED with possessing any.
You know why?
Because he didn’t possess any.
the fact UNC athletics bent the knee and took down this post should tell folks that Lee Roberts is a Republican shill placed there by a Republican board of trustees who are appointed by a Republican board of governors who are appointed by a Republican state legislature*.

On most Memorial Days, I simply share the closing words of President Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address. But in challenging times like these, perhaps we are called to reflect a little deeper on what truly matters.
Across Haywood County, patriots once again line our public spaces with white crosses in remembrance of those who gave “the last full measure of devotion.” Each cross represents a life that mattered with different names, different stories, different sacrifices, different ages.
As we move forward together, may we remember that every life matters, every day counts, and may we “highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain — that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom.”
Deepfakes can affect anyone. Keep yourself and your fellow Americans protected in the digital age with the #NoFakesAct. Let Congress know you support NO FAKES by signing this letter: https://t.co/mjOvKzeqES.
🚨🇿🇦 The richest man on earth. Born in South Africa. His name is on nothing there.
Not one hospital. Not one trust. Not one shelter. Not one library. Not one scholarship. Not one clinic. Not one housing project.
He could fund any of it. He has chosen none of it.
Instead he sells the world a story of white victimhood, while millions of black South Africans still live in the conditions built for them by white supremacy.
I spent today in Buncombe County meeting with members of the NC Forest Service, learning more about their work and some of the challenges they are facing this wildfire season. Today's news from @FEMA is very welcome: More than $38 million in Public Assistance has been approved for debris removal, infrastructure, and road repair from Hurricane Helene damage. Every dollar moves us closer to making sure western NC has the resources it needs for recovery.
