One more thing:

The SNAP freeze isn't JUST about the shutdown. This year's Republican budget bill—the "Big, Beautiful Bill"—included a $186B cut to SNAP.

It was one of many programs, including Medicaid, that got budget reductions to pay for Republican tax cuts.

More NC students taking and passing AP exams than ever, new data shows North Carolina's results have come following a bump in AP enrollment and changes to how the College Board scores exams.

"NC's public school students are making history," NC's students again exceeded the nat'l average in AP passing rates & increased the # of students taking the exams. Investments in teacher training, student support, and paying exam fees is generating excellent returns!

Waiting for Leandro It’s been 601 days since the state Supreme Court heard arguments over funds for public schools. Can they put off a decision forever?

The Fixer Catty Moore retired two years ago. Then she was called in to help save Forsyth County schools from a financial crisis.

Brilliant story on a brilliant leader. NC is lucky to have her leadership in our schools.

If North Carolina enacts this new map, it will be sued.

I don't bluff and I usually win.

The General Assembly plans to come back next week to shamelessly and unfairly redraw Congressional maps. Here’s what they should be doing instead:

Passing state budget
Fully funding Medicaid
Increasing law enforcement pay
Giving teachers a pay raise

ICE has been deployed to *provoke* civilians, not to protect them. They want to throw tear gas canisters and get people on the streets riled up, all to create footage for Fox News and Newsmax, et al., that will be used as a pretext for imposing martial law to lower voting rates in Democratic cities.

The General Assembly should be working for you, not taking away your freedoms. Here’s my statement on their shameless plan to redraw North Carolina’s Congressional maps:

Trump just froze $168.7 million for NC public schools. Here's what's at risk:

— Cuts to teacher training & support
— Cut resources for English learners
— Less funding for after-school programs
— Support for migratory students gutted

NC students deserve investment, not political punishment.

Great town hall this evening with great legislative leaders Sen Lisa Grafstein and Rep Monika Johnson Hostler. Thank you for your commitment to NC!

My state has had a legislative GOP supermajority for 22 years. Missouri is ranked:

50th in classroom funding
49th in starting teacher pay
7th highest in gun deaths
6th highest in maternal mortality

Republicans can’t govern and you can look at every red state to come to that conclusion.

If the bill passes as written it would likely be illegal for a board member to wear this shirt in public
