En plena temporada de huracanes, la administración Trump ha ordenado que decenas de empleados de FEMA, la agencia federal encargada de responder a desastres naturales, sean transferidos temporalmente al Servicio de Inmigración y Control de Aduanas (ICE).
”The feature, which Instagram rolled out over the past weekend, displays users’ precise, real-time locations on Instagram’s map interface. When a user posts a story, reel, or post, the map tags their location with that post for the next 24 hours”, according to a press release from Jackson’s office.
“I can’t charge $30 for a chocolate bar, I can’t raise your price three times and leave us in this weird spot where we have to switch our business,” Sam Ratto, owner of Videri Chocolate in downtown Raleigh, told ABC 11.
Carolina del Norte podría perder hasta $3 mil millones si se aprueba una propuesta del gobierno de Trump para reducir en un 40% el presupuesto de los Institutos Nacionales de Salud (NIH).
Rep. Phil Rubin (D-Wake) blasted Whatley as a “Washington big oil lobbyist” who has “consistently elevated the most extreme forces in this party and in North Carolina”. Rubin pointed directly to Robinson, who lost the 2024 governor’s race in a landslide after years of inflammatory remarks.
“We’re in the worst hunger crisis that we’ve seen in nearly 20 years and with SNAP cuts that have been passed at the federal level, we’re going to see that spike in a way that we can’t fill the gap up,” Amy Beros, CEO of the Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina, told NC Newsline.
The sprawling 1,000-page-plus package features numerous measures that will give trillions of dollars to billionaires, while taking food and health care away from hardworking Americans.
Minority leader Sydney Batch argued that the people of western NC cannot afford to wait. “Senator Berger wants the legislature to recess for two months while hurricane survivors are still living in uninhabitable homes, facing washed-out roads and waiting for their classrooms to reopen,” Batch said. “He may be ready for a vacation, but our neighbors in western North Carolina don’t get to take a break from this crisis.”
The 32-page bill, a watered-down version of the original 1,000-page state budget proposed in April, makes major cuts to health care services in the state. This comes not even a month after Congress passed H.R. 1, or the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act”, which made major cuts to Medicaid, endangering the healthcare of over half a million people in North Carolina alone.
North Carolina already faces hunger at alarming levels, particularly in rural and low-income communities. The proposed cuts would mean fewer meals on the table, higher pressure on food banks, and devastating trade-offs for working families. Many food banks are already dipping into reserve funds and calling on private donors just to meet current demand—and they know worse is coming.
“National reports indicate that the U.S. Department of Education has backed down and is releasing all frozen funds — $6.8 billion nationwide, including $165 million for North Carolina — after we filed suit last week. This should end weeks of uncertainty — our schools can now plan, hire, and prepare for a strong year ahead. My absolute best wishes to our state’s 1.5 million students who are ready to make this their best year yet,” said North Carolina Superintendent of Public Instruction Mo Green, in a statement.
Former Governor Roy Cooper, who has recently announced his candidacy for North Carolina’s open U.S. Senate seat, has a long record of serving the state with a career in public service spanning nearly four decades.
Cooper, who concluded his governorship at the end of 2024, left office with a legacy of expanding health care access, investing in education, and driving job growth across North Carolina. In his farewell address, Cooper highlighted the progress the state made under his leadership—calling it a place where people are “better educated, healthier, and have more money in their pockets.”
The EPA has submitted a proposal to scrap a years-old finding that greenhouse gas emissions threaten the environment and public health. Former officials say such a move would gut the agency’s own power to curb greenhouse gas emissions, which have been widely found to cause global warming.
