Helicopters all over Western North Carolina, many of them with the U.S. Army label. Getting supplies into hard hit areas. ❤️

This is copy of a post from a Republican North Carolina State Senator. Please don’t spread disinformation that the government isn’t doing anything. They’re here, starting the hard work of putting Western North Carolina back together, along side civilian volunteers.

For all those keeping an eye on Helene, even your local weather is relying on NOAA to keep you updated on her track. #Project2025

After years and years of media reports that coal is having a comeback in the UK the last coal plant will go offline in just 2 weeks. Coal in the UK is no more. Credit for graph to @ketanjoshi.co

Quick civics lesson for those asking why Harris hasn’t enacted any policies over the last 3.5 years. The VP has 2 duties: 1. As Pres. of the Senate cast tie breaking votes. 2. Preside over & certify electoral college votes. Anything else the President asks. That’s it. No other power. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I am a pretty pragmatic person. I don't believe that Lynne Cheney or Dick Cheney endorsing Kamala means that they will be Democrats the rest of their lives. I assume it means that they will do what should've been done eight years ago and start rebuilding the Republican party into the party it used to be. But for today, I'll take their endorsements as patriots doing the right thing

Many of my conservative friends have become overly concerned about the proposed Unrealized Capital Gains Tax. As if they’ll have to pay it. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Wondering about the proposed unrealized capital gains tax? Here you go:
If you're worth $100,000,000 (that's $100 million) you might be impacted. If not, no worries.
If you are that wealthy, did you pay 25% or more in federal income taxes? If yes, no worries.
If you're worth more than $100 million and paid less than 25% in federal taxes, is more than 80% of your wealth in assets like stocks and bonds? If no, you're not impacted. If yes, you will be impacted.
Across the whole of this country, there are just over 10,600 people who would need to worry about this proposal, IF it passes, and that's a really big IF. And remember, the tax is only on the unrealized GAINS, not the total amount. It would probably be a pretty big hit the first year, but after that it would be on the year over year gains. And if there are losses rather than gains, they would see tax credits.
