There are some 3 million sets of personal protective equipment in the national stockpile. It's not enough, but most of those should have already been deployed to shortage areas. Somebody needs to ask Trump about this during his daily circle-jerk press conference.
#NCPol#NCGA NC should call special legislative session to create possibility of mailing out all ballots for Nov election. Doesn't have to be permanent, but allow for it for, say, up to 5 years, as waves of virus pass over us.
My sister just moved back to Florida from Washington (state), where they have been doing vote-by-mail for several years now. In 2016, 79% of registered voters mailed in their ballots.
Not usually much for scare-mongering or overabundance of caution, but large gatherings of people should be avoided. Five (5) Wake County folks who attended a BioGen conference in Boston in late February contracted the Novel Coronavirus and brought it back home, and Dog knows where they've been going since then. Be smart, we're all counting on you.
Don't forget to vote if you haven't already, folks:
Interviewing folks at the polls this AM, something I've done for years. Two folks told me they voted for Biden this morning, one for Warren. One person gave me the finger when I introduced myself as a reporter, drove away in a Prius with a Bernie sticker. #SuperTuesday#NCPol
Unfortunately, the turnout I've witnessed so far in this Primary has been dismal. I voted Saturday shortly after noon and was the only voter present. My point is, if you vote absentee in order to avoid waiting in line, think again.
And of course that 1/3 of lower wage earners also cannot afford health insurance. These are the people in the gap that Medicaid Expansion was designed for, but the NC GOP simply does not care about them.
It’s such a cool thing seeing 17 year olds participating in the Iowa caucus! North Carolina also allows 17 year olds to participate. If you’ll be 18 by 11/5/20, you can vote in the primary on March 3rd! #teendemocrats#ncpol#primaryvoting#GenZtotheDNC
Thom Tillis is a species of carrion fowl, preying on the less fortunate:
Thom Tillis has been an authoritarian and a fascist for the past decade. The man sucks up to Putin and Trump for a reason. This isn’t new behavior for @SenThomTillis. #ncpolhttps://t.co/qijrrGXJd6
Thanks, I've been meaning to dredge up that old video anyway. Shaming people who need food stamps and other public assistance is craven, to say the least.
