It's a long shot for Democrats for sure, but there's some possibility that once remaining provisional and mail-in ballots are counted in the Danny Britt race, that margin could change. And it's likely gonna be in recount territory. #ncpol #ncga

The NC House went Blue & it looks like Republicans will hold on to the NC Senate. @Burgin4Senate wants to lead that chamber.
This could be a big for the #mentalhealth community, as Burgin has worked toward improving our mental health system. #ncga #ncpol wral.com/news/nccapitol/repu…

1/2 Clint Bolick is a justice on the Arizona Supreme Court, former vice president for litigation at the @GoldwaterInst, and co-founder and former vice president for litigation of @IJ. On November 16, Bolick will be the keynote speaker at #FreeCon Phoenix, hosted by Goldwater, the @1912Institute, and other partners.
In a broadcast interview discussing the public reaction to Charlie Kirk’s murder, he bemoaned the use of government power to punish or discourage freedom of speech. “I think Charlie Kirk himself had said it best: There is no such thing as legal hate speech that can be regulated or curtailed,” Bolick said. “It is speech, and all speech is protected.”
When the FCC subsequently threatened the broadcast licenses of ABC stations after Jimmy Kimmel’s comments about Kirk, it exceeded its legal role, he explained. “The moment that the government puts its fingers on the scale and coerces speech, that is clearly improper.”
One of most critical protections of the First Amendment is the U.S. government’s separation of powers, especially the exertion of authority between the legislative and executive branches, he argued. “We either have universal free speech rights that apply to all of us, or we do not have free speech rights at all.” #FreeCon

When you're on the road this Halloween, slow down and watch for children walking along streets, crossing roads and entering or leaving driveways. Trick-or-treaters can be hard to see after dark, so stay alert and avoid distractions. Let's keep Halloween fun and safe for everyone!
ALT A street sign shows a cartoon ghost on a crosswalk, indicating a warning for trick-or-treaters. Below, the text reads: "Little monsters may be crossing! Slow down. Stay alert. Watch for trick-or-treaters." In the background, there are blurred houses and people. The logo "DPS" for North Carolina Department of Public Safety is visible.

Described as among the first public political acts by women in America, the Edenton Tea Party, which occurred on this date Oct. 25, 1774, was one of North Carolina’s most important pre-Revolutionary protests. 51 women signed a resolution pledging to boycott British tea and cloth in opposition to British taxation and trade policies.
In March of 1775, a satirical print titled "A Society of Patriotic Ladies, at Edenton in North Carolina" was published in London (seen here). The artist portrayed the women in an unflattering and scandalous manner, essentially ridiculing the provocative idea of colonial women involving themselves in politics. The original print survives in the Library of Congress. #Celebrate250
