Attorney General Josh Stein has kept his distance since approving the sale of a county-owned hospital to Novant Health. A grassroots group is begging him to step in, but his authority may be limited.

A @WCU student pulled from her off-campus house. A @UncAvl RA who leapt into action. @appstate students who launched a relief organization.

For @TheAssemblyNC, I looked at campus closures, disruptions, and students' reactions following Hurricane Helene. https://t.co/l17XJVCl7I

"AI Mark Robinson has 14 fingers. His face seems to float above a body that doesn’t move. And the smiling children behind him melt and reform, their poor virtual souls twisting together like wet digital clay in a drug-fueled nightmare."

[INDY Week @indyweek]

Robinson’s accusation that Stiefel is “determined to destroy him” rings true. “First of all, no mercy for Nazis,” Stiefel says. “He’s staying in this race, and as long as he’s staying in the race, we’re staying in the race.” https://t.co/2ZOncYG61q

After new revelations, a growing number of Republicans are distancing themselves from Mark Robinson and casting blame for how a once-winnable governor’s race is slipping away. By @zeanes & @BryanRAnderson for @axios & @TheAssemblyNC. #ncpol https://t.co/7BN9AROIMx

a/perture needs $100K by December 31 to keep its doors open.

One heckuva read from @Barry_Yeoman.

[The Assembly @TheAssemblyNC]

When Jolene Strickland ran for governor in 1996, she received press coverage, money, and votes. If only she existed.

My debut in @TheAssemblyNC

2024: Enrollment is up, dropouts down, campus is getting $210M in construction

Were the critics wrong?
