@TimBoyumTV We have to work to develop and implement a fed/state long term beach stabilization plan. Build in dune stabilization technology along 12. Should have done this years ago.

Iryna’s Law takes effect in NC today. Too many innocent lives have been taken by repeat offenders who should’ve never been allowed back on our streets. No more second chances for violent criminals.

NC’s DOGE-style program has discovered a lack of transparency at the NCDHHS. Hundreds of millions of dollars are unaccounted for, and the department hasn't filed report of funds on time since 2017. #ncga #ncpol https://t.co/JS4Mr44kkE

.@GovJoshStein dragged his feet for nine days, but Iryna’s Law is finally signed. This law protects families from violent repeat offenders and shuts the revolving door that’s put criminals back on our streets. North Carolinians demanded action, and today, they won!

Let’s be clear: @NC_Governor manufactured a fake Medicaid crisis even with the program funded into next year. Now, he’s cutting Medicaid just so he can point the finger at others. Stein is playing dirty politics with real lives. Shameful.

Why hasn't @NC_Governor signed Iryna's Law yet? It would end cashless bail and improve mental health evaluations for violent criminals. This is common sense if you care about the safety of innocent North Carolinians.

It’s been six days since we sent Iryna’s Law to @NC_Governor to sign. This should be a no-brainer. If he really cared about public safety, he would’ve signed the bill into law immediately.

I have been through much over the course of my life, but the attacks of September 11, 2001 stand out for many reasons – the imagery, confusion, fear, and lasting impact on our way of life. To the victims who perished – in New York City, in Washington, in Pennsylvania – we will
