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.

    Yeah, i knew what you meant, I was just being a shitlord.

    I 100% agree. The republican party is actually malicious, and the dems are useless. Anyone campaigning for either party is at best ignorant and at worst evil. The solution no longer lies in parties, the solution lies in forcing everyone to understand that we are no longer asking. Its time for people to actually demand that the world improves, and if you stand in the way of that, you dont get to experiance the world. Worst part is that the malicious and ignorant are no longer just the US’ problem, Trump is going to fuck the entire planet.
