Reporter’s Notebook: While two-factor authentication can be annoying, it’s sometimes necessary. As National Security Adviser Mike Waltz learned, removing safeguards for convenience can lead to costly mistakes — whether in messaging or major policy decisions.
Billionaires are trying to close our public schools with something called private school vouchers.
They say it’ll help poor kids go to private schools. They call it “school choice.” It all sounds so noble.
But vouchers are the biggest scam I’ve ever seen.
Survey time: If you grew up in one of the ARC defined counties, we want to know how you pronounce “Appalachia.” Drop your state and county in a reply with your pronunciation
Swift Water Team a part of the @NCSHP has been working throughout #HeleneNC to help the people of WNC. Over 400 welfare checks/rescues since the storms arrival.
This is Yancey County, NC. The pictures are from Sheriff Deputy Daniel Joyner. “Please share with the world how bad it really is.” The damage is apocalyptic. Pictures don’t do it justice.
Saddest thing about it is people without ties to the region will 🤷, donate a few bucks and move on maybe not realizing how this will have a generational impact on the region…
What people don’t realize is Appalachia is gone, just like pre Katrina New Orleans is gone. There are entire towns that were wiped away and will not be rebuilt. Entire families have gone missing and some may never have anyone look for them.

It seems main Reason Asheville has not water is because the main water line that brings 2/3 of the water from the Laurel Ridge, Black Mountain reservoir is badly broken in different parts. On top of that the pumping stations are damage or without electricity. That why @wckitchen we are bringing 5 water trucks for distribution…contributing to efforts to have everyone with access to water..#ChefsForNorthCarolina
World Central Kitchen will start serving free meals at noon in downtown #Asheville at Bears barbecue on Coxe Avenue. They need volunteers. Just show up. #avlnews#avlhelene
