Like the Epstein files, the research behind the $12bn in “savings” from SB266 (the Duke Energy bill) has never been made public.
Stein just vetoed a bill that would protect North Carolinians utility bills. Senate Bill 266, also referred to as the “Power Bill Reduction Act” would’ve . • Repeal a requirement for Duke Energy to reduce carbon emissions by 70% by 2030 (compared to 2005 levels), while.

Their claim is NC must end Medicaid expansion as HR1 cuts the provider taxes that fund it. But as the @NC_Governor said, we can get creative to replace that $$. One idea? My math says we need $1B of state funding - exactly what’s in the 2032 budget for private school vouchers.

This letter is misleading. "Numerous stories” isn't proof that able-bodied adults delay care. Dems would keep taxes flat for 97%, raising them on the very rich to cut the deficit. Dems want a bigger CTC. And this bill doesn't raise take-home pay just bc Trump Advisors say so.
I joined my North Carolina colleagues in calling out @NC_Governor’s baseless attacks on @POTUS’s One Big Beautiful Bill. The bill prevents the largest tax hike in American history, champions policies that result in higher take-home pay, reduces federal spending by $1.3 trillion,

💯 NC needs to start working now to develop an automated & efficient work verification system, develop state-wide resources to for job search & vol opportunities, and ensure our next budget provides funding for implementation.
North Carolina is facing real risks to the health of hundreds of thousands of North Carolinians and the financial stability of our rural hospitals due to the Reconciliation Law. On a bi-partisan basis, North Carolina expanded Medicaid two years ago. Just as we can together to

If work requirements reduce crowding, they don't incentivize work. And these imaginary video-gamers on Medicaid can still go to the ER. They’re just denied 1–2 checkups a year & meds to treat any chronic conditions they have, which increases their odds of winding up in the ER. .
Steve Scalise: "Disabled people will get better Medicaid under this bill because all of the fully able-bodied -- the 35-year-old guy sitting at home playing video games in his mom's basement -- he's gonna have to go work, because we put work requirements in place. And so he will

This is looking at a fact, not "the facts.". @USCBO projects $1 trillion in Medicaid cuts in the next decade. 40% of enrollees live in rural areas, so that's $400 billion of lost revenue for rural hospitals. $50 billion doesn't solve $400 billion of lost revenue every decade.
Let's look at the facts: The One Big Beautiful Bill included $50 billion in federal funding for our rural hospitals. This means Nebraska's rural hospitals now have access to least $800 million in additional federal funding to continue providing quality care for Nebraskans.

This is misleading. This table is from the @CEA47 analysis. Simple story: . In March, US biz bulk-bought goods subject to April tariffs—at discounts—so import prices fell. In April & May, imports were mostly non-tariffed goods, so prices rose ~0.18%—exact same as overall goods.
The tariff panic and inflation fearmongering from Democrats and their friends in the media hasn’t held up. @CEA47 has found that imported goods prices are down this year, falling even faster than overall goods prices.

This is a made up biz ranking. Their methodology “assigns a weight to each category based on how frequently states cite it as a selling point.” Silly. NC is below-average in income per capita, grad rates, home ownership & affordability, poverty rates & every health metric.
North Carolina is America's Top State for Business in 2025, led by a strong workforce and economy

It's hard to believe this talking point when not one GOP politician or organization will explain why these work requirements won’t fail like GA & AR's, where $60M of taxpayer $$ was spent on systems that wrongly kicked 100K+ off Medicaid. Will you @NCGOP? NC deserves to know.
The #OBBB strengthens and preserves Medicaid. Republicans are committed to rooting out waste, fraud, & abuse while Democrats want to expand federal programs to pay illegals welfare. Work requirements and eligibility checks are common sense and supported by the American people!.

You can’t only look at the gross benefits of a policy. If the bottom 95% get 10% of the tax savings but end up paying for 100% of the costs, then it’s not a real benefit.
Every single family in America will benefit from a $2,000 tax reduction. Small businesses will enjoy a 20% cut in taxes. I’m sick and tired of hearing Democrats claim that the Big Beautiful Bill is just tax cuts for the rich.

There are no savings. It’s just a shift from preventative care funded by the rich via federal tax dollars to reactive hospitalization/ER care funded by all of us via the higher prices hospitals will charge to cover this uncompensated care.
They are happy to claim the $1 trillion in Medicaid cuts as " budget savings." But where do those "savings" come from?. The "savings" are BECAUSE people lose insurance. It costs money to pay for health care. The "savings" comes from not paying for people's health care.

The complete silence from supporters of “work requirements” on what happened in both Georgia & Arkansas when they tried them speaks volumes about the actual intent (taking away care from low-income adults). Oh and it’s just really bad healthcare & economic policy.
Georgia has experimented with a Medicaid work mandate for two years. The result? Of 250,000 eligible Georgians, only 7,500 have enrolled, even though 64% of that group is working.

You called HB951 a pro-business bill that will drive innovation, grow jobs, advance new tech and attract more investment. What changed? . Solar is only not 24/7 if you don’t pay for batteries — just like gas plants aren't 24/7 if you don’t pay for the fuel that powers them.
.@NC_Governor vetoed SB 266—legislation that would deliver affordable, reliable energy to power NC’s growth. We urge the General Assembly to override the veto. Read our full statement > #ncga #ncpol #energypolicy.

Just like your colleagues, you also voted for HB951 which established these carbon targets that you now call “radical.” Can you explain that change?. And can you publish the study that shows $15bn of savings so the public can review?.
Josh Stein is a Green New Deal Radical. His veto of a commonsense bill, which would save North Carolinians $15 billion dollars on their electric bills, proves it. I look forward to leading the Senate in overriding Gov. Stein’s veto. #ncpol.

This was a really bad bill - for NC households, NC biz (minus Duke Energy) and our states long-term economic growth. Solar is the future, customers should not be forced to be financiers & charging fuel & purchased power on a “demand-basis” is against industry best practices.
North Carolina families don’t need higher energy costs. An independent analysis concluded Senate Bill 266 could cost consumers $23B through 2050. This bill would also force families to pay more so industry can pay less. And it walks back North Carolina’s commitments to reduce

Our 1st test of smart regulation is if it’s achieving a critical societal goal. Things like cancer-free drinking water. Charlottes city council based this denial on “concerns about traffic” & how these would “fit in with the neighborhood.”. Those aren’t critical societal goals.
It's going to be pretty funny when the developer of this project - who invested millions trying to make it work, only for the Charlotte city council to say "meh, no thanks" - comes back and builds a far smaller number of luxury units by right, and everyone gets mad, because they
