And it's only going to get worse over the next 10 months:

“Like other conservatives I had my doubts about Mr. Trump,” Tucker said. “Without a policy record, I questioned whether he would govern as a conservative. . . . I could not be more delighted, and frankly amazed, at how he has transformed this country in the last two years.”

Tillis allies don’t buy it. “It is laughable that a charlatan like Garland Tucker thinks he can make this race into a question of who can better support our booming economy under President Trump,” said Jack Pandol, a spokesman for the Senate Leadership Fund. “North Carolina needs a senator who will work with the president – not one . . . now lying to cover his tracks.”

Oh, the irony. Tucker is lying alright, but he's lying about Trump's "transformation" of the country. He has brought us about halfway to the United States depicted in Idiocracy, and clawing back from that is going to be damn near impossible. Also, I kinda hate to see Carter Wrenn devolve once again:

What the GOP wanted all along:

Families making $70k+ do not need a voucher of public money to send their child/ren to private school. Median income in NC is about $51k. Vouchers were supposed to be for low-income families. Do you want to pay to send others’ kids to private school when they make $70k? #ncpol

Widening the gap between the Two Americas.

Rape culture just got a kick in the pants:

NC House unanimously votes for bill that make it a crime to drug someone's drink and makes it clear that an incapacitated person cannot give sexual consent. H393 now goes to #ncga Senate. #ncpol #wral

Hopefully that unanimous vote will keep the NC Senate from messing around with it...

The never-ending battle continues:

Senator @NatashaMarcusNC is laying out how #S359 is part of a nationwide anti-abortion effort to overturn #RoevWade. #Stop359 #AbortionIsHealthcare

In case you haven't been paying attention, women are slowly (but surely) losing this war. If you're a state (or Federal) candidate and women's reproductive freedom is not in your top five platform issues, you need to do some re-arranging. Pronto.

Just a friendly reminder:

NC is having municipal elections in 2019. We NEED local level progressives running for board of elections, town council, mayor, and everything in between. Who are the progressives running in your town? #NCpol #BlueWave2019 #ResistLocal

I am running for local office (again) this year, and hoping our voter turnout is closer to 20% instead of the barely 10% we got last time. It's hard to believe people could be so disinterested in their own community, but there it is. Take the time to get to know who's running in your local election, and what their priorities are. Because by the time something stupid gets done and shows up on your radar, it's probably too late.
