If you're not reading Carolina Partnership for Reform's newsletter you should, but it was stunning to see these stats in the past week's edition.
The Republican-led North Carolina General Assembly over the past 15 years unquestionably improved life in our State.

We’ve worked hard to put the State Health Plan on a better financial path. Members, taxpayers, and providers are all doing their part to make that happen. But instead, Duke is demanding a raise. That could mean higher costs for everyone. #ncpol
State Health Plan update: Negotiations between Duke Health & Aetna are ongoing as their contract nears expiration. Treasurer Briner has a message for members on what this means.

As a member of the State Board of Education, I have been consistently appalled at the opposition to school choice and charter schools that has been apparent since my first meeting in January. Families need to be able to choose an education that best meets their child's needs, and an independent Charter School Review Board is best equipped to oversee these schools. I hope the legislature will override the Governor's veto of SB254.

A “Worst Case” one page study pushed by NCSEA - “who never saw an expen$ive renewable energy source they didn’t support”, despite the cost to all - is nothing more than a smoke screen to push/support the Governor’s potential veto. 🧵

Condoleezza Rice ON FIRE for school choice:
"How can you say you're for civil rights? How can you say you're for the poor? When you're condemning those children to not being able to read?"
She also calls out hypocrites opposing school choice who send their own kids to private.

BREAKING: North Carolina passed universal school choice last year.
Their school choice initiative already has more than 50,000 students on the waitlist because so many families want it.
The Senate Appropriations Committee will now consider a bill to eliminate that waitlist.

BREAKING: North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper figures out that the money follows the student with school choice initiatives. Who knew?!
Last week, Senate President Pro Tempore Phil Berger directly acknowledged that the legislature’s private school voucher expansion is funded through cuts to public schools.

I'd like to thank Randi Weingarten and the teachers unions for overplaying their hand and inadvertently doing more to advance school choice than anyone could have ever imagined.
Happy National School Choice Week! #SchoolChoiceWeek

Antisemitism is never about the Jews; it’s a warning system. It’s a sign that the society itself is breaking down, that it is dying. It is a symptom of a much deeper crisis.

To these 150 @UNC faculty, the murder of 1,400+ civilians and kidnapping of hundreds more requires "context" and is part of a "struggle for liberation."
Pretty sick stuff, especially for their students who have to endure this. #ncpol #NCed

I once did a deep dive on fact checkers and this "yes, it is true, but we don't like the guy who said it so we will say it is half true" is alarmingly common

This statement by University of Florida president (and former senator) @BenSasse is such a wonderful ray of clarity, principle, and genuine warmth -- in contrast to the cold, committee-written word salad from the Ivy League presidents.

Eight months ago the WRAL editorial board wrote about how legislators are not dictators.
Now they are calling for Cooper to anoint himself as one. Not figuratively. No hyperbole.
Ridiculously unserious. #ncpol

Dialogue, not debate-rigging censorship, is the way forward.
Yolo County Library must offer the local Moms for Liberty chapter an opportunity to reschedule its event. And the library must adhere to its First Amendment obligations going forward. (5/5) thefire.org/news/california-…
