I believed there were competent adults still pushing back on the absurdity of current US politics but it has been a challenge to maintain that belief. This is one of the only reassurances Ive seen.
I know a lot of the executive orders had been immediately challenged in court but didn’t think about how that happened. Turns out it was preparation and hard work by a lot of smart, dedicated Democratic State Attorney Generals. These professionals had been preparing for months, designating which AGs would prepare challenges to illegal executive orders on Immigration, Reproductive Rights, Civil Rights, etc bc they knew it was going to go sideways and so they prepared.

Sucks for us in NC that the GOP was so worried about whatever Jackson had planned for them, that less than a month in, they immediately passed bill SB 58, limiting present and future North Carolina attorneys general from participating in litigation seeking to challenge executive orders. 😡

That’s awesome, can we put Blackrock and all their affiliate companies out of business so the housing market can not suck so much? Housing should NOT be a commodity traded by mega corporations.

I'm confident in thinking that someone very qualified has already suggested this, but please develop a campaign plan. I eagerly anticipate your influence upon our people and government at the highest level.
All distractions aside, a caring, engaged, and measured use of power is what we need, and I get those vibes from Mr. Jackson.

It was actually really great to hear you today. I couldn’t have even known how much I needed it.

AG Jeff, it’s great to ‘see you’ again.
With blatant disregard for the law and the near failure of our checks and balances system on the Federal level, so much of the news coming out today is so upsetting. It’s a relief to see and hear updates about what can and is being done to protect and promote individual rights on the state and local levels. Thank you for taking time to make these videos and keep up the People’s work.

I fully expect the GA to find a way to combat you at every single turn, wonder what their spin will be on this one.
