We Have to Start âConsumingâ Media Again
I over-consumed media before the election. I was glued to my phone all day and late into the night, reading everything and diving into endless rabbit holes. What was I looking for? A glimmer of hope that the outcome would be something I could live with. My spouse called me neurotic. I muttered under my breath, "You wonât think Iâm neurotic when everything Iâm afraid of comes true." Yep, that sounds neurotic. After the election, like many others, I went on a media-free diet. C

Weekend Joe: DOGE/Department of Government Efficiency
Did you or anyone you know vote for Elon Musk for any office? Yet, some Republicans are now referring to Musk as âPrime Minister.â I think of him as the âPuppet Master in Chief.â He is certainly exercising a lot of control over the incoming Trump administration (and the President-Elect himself). This is an unelected man with no federally mandated position in our national government. He is accountable to absolutely no oneâexcept, presumably, Donald Trump. He certainly is not a

Weekend Joe: A Betrayal of Trust â Guest Column by Carolann Connor
Our state reps are disrespecting us. Reps. Jennifer Balkcom and Jake Johnson, along with Senator Tim Moffitt, are part of the current Republican supermajority in Raleigh. They vote in lockstep with Republican leadership and agendas. Recently re-elected to new terms, their actions make it clear they prioritize party power over the people they represent.
