Today Gov. Cooper rolled up his sleeve to get his first dose of the vaccine. Group 3 frontline essential workers are now eligible to get their shot. Getting it is safe and easy, and each shot gets us closer to beating this virus.

I joined @SenTinaSmith to reintroduce our bill to secure health care benefits for “Atomic Veterans” exposed to harmful radiation in the 1970s. This legislation is long overdue and ensures veterans receive access to medical treatment they're entitled to.

We are stuck in a generation where most people find their answers online. While that too is a very powerful tool, there are many things in life you just can’t Google. Mental hardening is a perishable skill. It’s very important that you do things that suck whenever you can!

Just like we take care of our physical health, we all need to look out for our mental health as we battle this pandemic. The COVID-19 Community Readiness toolkit will connect North Carolinians seeking help to mental health resources in their communities.

We all cope with tragedy in different ways. There is never a good time to experience loss and we can not know what anyone else is feeling or going thru. In a year of so much hardship, let’s all try to give extra empathy to those around us.

Thank you to the Ladies in the ER @dukeraleigh#hospital yesterday afternoon! Rays of sunshine on a stressful day. And to the grumpy patients..cut them a break! Merry Christmas & I’ll be wearing my safety helmet from now on :)
The modified Stay at Home Order will build on our mask mandate and other strong safety protocols already in-place to get case numbers down. But we will take further action if trends don’t improve. Staying vigilant this holiday season will save lives.

@CalforNC Public office position...still teetering between voting for @SenThomTillis or @CalforNC . Take ownership of mistakes & don’t avoid hard questions about affairs - waiting. Patience & prayers to you/family in getting through this.
I've been talking with the Nasdaq stock exchange about moving some of their operations to Texas.
They want to flee high taxes.
I let them know that we just passed a constitutional amendment banning an income tax in Texas.

United and American are cutting 32,000 jobs today.
In the last five years, instead of saving for a rainy day, they spent $21.6 billion on stock buybacks and dividends, or about 100% of their profit.
They also just got $10.8 billion in taxpayer bailouts
