The House adjourned without attempting to override the budget bill veto. HB 966 is still on the agenda, so perhaps it’ll come up again soon. #ncga#ncpol#ncgov@CarolinaJournal
But it's not in the Veto garage, it's in the Veto driveway. Just leaving it on the Agenda until enough Dems go to the bathroom? You can tell Phil Berger is about to blow his top:
If you're running for #localgov office in North Carolina, municipal candidate filing starts this Friday. In Durham, all three incumbent council members and Mayor Schewel previously announced they are running. Here's a story from April: https://t.co/txuuvykcIW
I am running for local office again this year, and I challenge each and every one of you to take a look at the people who are running for your town/city council and boards of aldermen. Some of these folks would do a fantastic job, but some of the others have no business even running. Pay attention, and make sure to vote. Don't let 10% choose who will run your town, or you will probably regret it.
I agree with @NC_Governer statement saying, “We need to work on Medicaid expansion in a bipartisan way”. We need to make compromises and incorporate Medicaid expansion in our budget. #ncpol#medicaidexpansionhttps://t.co/73s5eyfAFc

I agree too. NC Republicans punished tens of thousands on North Carolinians in an effort to kill the Affordable Care Act, and it didn't work. It's long past time to stop that punishment.
Latest #ncga filing in gerrymandering case argues that @CommonCauseNC attorneys should be removed from the case because they looked at redistricting guru's files: https://t.co/iAIUBsqrh1#ncpol
Well of course they looked at the files, how else were they supposed to determine if they were relevant to the case? As far as classifying them as "secret," you can't have your cake and eat it, too. You can't claim you did all the work yourselves on Legislative computers, but then claim the files contain "sensitive" information.
When a man's true character emerges, pay attention:
Maybe Rep. Craig Horn would like to sleep outside for a few weeks until he finds a conscience. #ncpol (Can't find him on Twitter. Somebody print this out and hand it to him) https://t.co/0vszuLnUVE
Somebody needs to ask Craig Horn why it took the Legislature two months to respond to the hurricane in the first place. Of course they were too busy doing other (partisan) crap, but they'll never admit that.
Never forget the GOP motto: If it ain't broke, break it; and if it's a good policy that will help those on the lower end of the income spectrum, rip it up and throw it in the trash.
Every single Republican was present, so the only reason to postpone the vote is to wait until more Democratic absences. Inexcusable abuse of both the system and the participants.
Sometimes I can barely stand to be alive in this bizarro state of North Carolina, where otherwise thoughtful people seem to have lost their minds and morals. What I don't know is whether it's just my imagination. Is the NC GOP really that bad?
In one of his early campaign events, Joe Biden cautioned against painting the entire Republican party with the Trump tar brush. Biden says Trump himself is the problem, not the whole GOP. It's almost like he thinks Trump hypnotized everyone into being amoral traitors and liars. It's not really their fault? I can't quite buy it.
