I’ve said this before but it bears repeating. The U.S. moved heaven and earth to bring Osama Bin Laden to justice. Not because he flew an airplane into the World Trade Center. But, because he incited his followers to. This should apply to Trump as well.
(If anything happens.)

Complete BS. Private schools are allowed to exclude those with learning needs and those who don’t subscribe the their religious beliefs. They don’t provide transportation. So many parents don’t have a choice at all.

For the first time since 2002, the men's singles champion at #Wimbledon is not named Federer, Djokovic, Nadal or Murray
A new era begins

While I was rooting for Eubanks, I couldn’t help but feel bad for Medvedev, a man without a country, and few cheering for him. Great game!

Outstanding.
NEW: Following SCOTUS’s decision on affirmative action UNC-Chapel Hill says it will offer free tuition to incoming undergrads whose families make less than $80,000. @UNC #ncpol @SpecNews1RDU

The news is always like: "America has banned wheelchair ramps because they weren't in the Bible. Finland has made ice cream free."
The fact that he would out the words “common sense” in a description of himself is just 🙄🤣
Our state is not in need of another lawyer turned politician on a never ending quest for a higher office. We need a true representative of everyday Americans; someone who's walked in your shoes and can bring down-to-earth, common sense solutions to the Governors Office. #ncpol

Today, the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act goes into effect, providing pregnant and postpartum workers the long overdue protections and accommodations they need.
@POTUS and I vowed to build an economy that works for women – and this law is a critical step forward.
CPC have got to go!

But you’ll have to take my word (and the “studies” I haven’t identified) for it because @NCGOP legislators have created the least accountable voucher system in the country so we really have no idea of NC student outcomes are improving. 🤡 #nced #ncpol #ncga

I support women’s reproductive freedoms. After a thorough review of the case in Planned Parenthood v. Stein, I have concluded that many of the provisions in North Carolina’s anti-abortion law are unconstitutional. My office will not defend those parts of the law.

One notable exception to this rosy picture is children with special needs.
Many of the schools that @NCGOP wants to expand voucher funding for do NOT accept students with IEPs (individualized education plan).
Public schools accept all children.
