Summary

The North Carolina House passed a controversial bill allocating $227 million for Hurricane Helene relief while including provisions to reduce powers of the incoming Democratic governor and attorney general.

Critics, including Democrats, called it a “power grab,” citing changes like stripping the governor’s control over the State Board of Elections and limiting the attorney general’s ability to challenge state laws or advocate for utility customers.

Republicans defended the bill as necessary, but some GOP lawmakers opposed it.

The bill now heads to the Senate and may face a gubernatorial veto.

      Seriously how fucking hard is it for yall to admit you seriously fucked up this election and alienated a shit ton of voters that could have won you the election? Or that you don’t actually care about social or economic change? Democrats fucking suck, and if you want even the tiniest chance of winning another election the solution is not to go “after hitler, our turn” and suck republican cock, it’s to start actually appealing to people who aren’t fucking republicans

      You mean the bureau that Trump is gonna destroy and democrats will watch it happen? Strange, for some reason liberal accomplishments never get locked in, so they can just be undone later. I wonder why that is
