Billboards on I-77 near Statesville send a clear message.
NC has one of the worst nursing shortages in the country — and outdated laws are part of the problem. Let's fix that.
NC joins a minority of 12 states that require advanced nurses to maintain an agreement with a supervising physician in order to practice independently despite research that shows that patients in states that don't require CPAs have greater access to health care without any decrease in quality or safety.
Let’s let qualified nurses care for patients where they’re needed most. Independent nurses don’t harm patients — they expand care, lower wait times, and help serve rural communities.

Department of Justice Rule Restores Equal Protection for All in Civil Rights Enforcement
“The prior ‘disparate impact’ regulations encouraged people to file lawsuits challenging racially neutral policies, without evidence of intentional discrimination,” said @AAGDhillon. “Our rejection of this theory will restore true equality under the law by requiring proof of actual discrimination, rather than enforcing race- or sex-based quotas or assumptions.”

BREAKING: PLF heads back to the Supreme Court to fight Home Equity Theft!
A decade ago, the Pung family of Isabella County, Michigan, was hit with an improper property tax bill totaling $2,240. The government foreclosed on the Pungs’ property, confiscating the whole home for a tax that never should have been due.
What followed has been a bureaucratic torture chamber that ended with the Pung property being seized and sold out from underneath them. Not only did the Pungs lose their property, but they also lost all the home equity they had built in the years they owned the land and residence.
The Pungs deserve payment for what was taken — a $200,000 home minus any “debt.”
Mike Pung is now our client at the Supreme Court, where we’ll back up the Pungs’ long-time attorney, Philip Ellison. Winning at the Supreme Court would bring an end to the Pungs’ years-long nightmare. Mike Pung said, “It would mean that a whole bunch of people are going to get some justice.”

Two years after our victory in Sackett v. EPA, the Army Corps of Engineers continues to defy the law and trap property owners in regulatory nightmares that the Supreme Court explicitly ended. We're continuing to help property owners fight back against bureaucratic overreach. 🧵
We kicked off the Fall 2025 IOPL Fellows Program this weekend!
Grateful for the 18 community leaders who have committed to this journey, and a special thanks to @billywarden , @LorenzoPedro , and @joeytwogloves for their insight, energy, and inspiration in weekend 1.
Grateful to begin the @NC_IOPL Fellows Program this weekend. At a time when leadership is being tested across the country, the ability to both listen across divides and remain grounded in principle is more important than ever.
