This is why @NC_Governor will reopen all playgrounds in the state, but leave school reopenings to "local control." His admin knows that kids need to be in school. But he refuses to take the politically fraught step of angering his allies on the far-left @NCAE . #ncpol

When new curricula like "math is racist" start becoming the norm in schools around the country, parents rightly become concerned about what's taught in their schools. The @newsobserver is wrong on this one. @markrobinsonNC 's initiative is right on the money. #ncpol

GOP leadership has increased state-funded per pupil spending by 39%. Democrats opposed every one of those increases, just like they opposed every teacher pay increase (including the #1 raise in the entire country). #ncpol

NC's constitution enshrines every child's access to a sound, basic education - but GOP leadership has failed to deliver. @NCHouseDems are working to fix that, with a bill that would get schools the resources they need, no matter the zip code.

This is crazy. The voter ID provision in the bill adds public assistance IDs, which is what @NCSenateDems and the court say they wanted. Now they're opposing adding IDs they themselves requested. #ncpol #ncga

What an absurd conspiracy theory. Here's an explanation actually supported by facts: Dems on @NCSBE have long sought to rewrite election law. After federal and state judges rejected those efforts, they went with the option of last resort: a collusive settlement. #ncpol

Firing a widely respected and apolitical elections director after she successfully prosecuted election fraud is not "saving democracy." Vetting a replacement elections director through your own political campaign staff is not "saving democracy." #ncpol

The @NCSenateDems who are "frustrated" by the process might want to read the letter from their own leader outlining the process they helped create way back in March. Odd that the @newsobserver didn't think this a pertinent fact to report on. #ncpol

#NCGA Republicans have a proven track record of fiscal responsibility, unlike the Democrats. GOP spending plans have built a robust Rainy Day Fund and slashed taxes so you can keep more of your hard-earned money. #ncpol

Appointing multiple elections board chairs who then have to resign in disgrace, including for overt partisan activity, is not "saving democracy." Vetoing legislation to block private interests from funding elections administration is not "saving democracy." #ncpol

All the amendments are from Democrats. The Democrats requested a 30-minute recess so they can discuss their proposed amendments, which nobody has seen, internally. There are no Republican amendments. Stop spreading bad information. #ncpol

It's a disgrace that you secretly negotiated a change to the rules of your own election after votes had already been cast. That the "attorney general" would subvert the law to impact the rules governing his own election should terrify everybody. Where are your emails? #ncpol
