NEW #DoPoliticsBetter 🎧 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas… @Neal_Inman is Chief of Staff to @ncspeakerhall, which gives him a unique insight on policy, budget, deals with Democrats, working with the Senate, & the ‘26 election. We cover it all plus @timmoorenc & Gov @PatMcCroryNC, both his former bosses. @skydiving11 and I also unpack lots of #ncpol news and polls.

Start your week with the show critics call “a pulsating, drama-filled tightrope walk” — while others listen strictly for the #TOTW. 😂 This week’s #DoPoliticsBetter #pod features a conversation @skydiving11 and I had with Rep. @timreedernc M.D., including how working as an ER doctor is basically like being on @HBO’s The Pitt — or not. Plus, plenty of #ncpol news, political intrigue, and yes, #TOTW. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

NEW #DoPoliticsBetter 🎧 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas… Dr. @TimReederNC talks #ncpol, healthcare, college football, and yes, @HBO’s ‘The Pitt’, which he lives in real life as an ER doctor in a teaching hospital. 🏥 @skydiving11 & I also unpack lots of news as mail-in voting is now under way.

Anyone know what my legal obligation is here as a cyclist? I’ve been told that cyclists in NC are required to obey traffic laws just like drivers. Obviously, I have no problem stopping but I am curious what the consequence could be had I not. 🚌🚴🛑

Start your post #LaborDay week with the #DoPoliticsBetter and @NCDOL Commissioner @LukeFarleyNC. @skydiving11 & I talk to the first-term Republican about his impressive ‘24 win, his policy initiatives winning accolades from unusual corners of #ncpol, meeting @Pontifex, and much more. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

Happy birthday to my friend and colleague @skydiving11! 🎂 This video barely scratches the surface of how much I love working with Skye: the ups, the downs, the frustration, the #ncpol chaos, and, most of all, the many laughs. Wouldn’t want to do it with anyone else. Happy birthday, Skye! 🥳

First light this morning. 🚴‍♂️

NEW #DoPoliticsBetter 🎧 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas… Who better for @skydiving11 and me to talk to going into #LaborDay than @NCDOL Commissioner @LukeFarleyNC! And like his underdog candidacy in 2024, the first-term Republican is turning heads by nixing the “death discount”, cracking down on wage/hour theft, and working with unions on issues they find common ground on. #ncpol

Start your week with an extended #ncpol conversation @skydiving11 and I had with Gov @PatMcCroryNC and author @andrew_dunn. It’s a wide-ranging, expansive discussion of Andrew’s new biography of the 74th NC Governor entitled ‘The Change Agent: Pat McCrory’s Rise, Reckoning and Legacy’. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

Start your week with the #DoPoliticsBetter pod: ❌ 2 vetoes, but will they hold? 🗳️ New House nominee in Balkcom seat 📈 @elonuniversity #ncpol poll 🎙️ The last time we had a viable 3rd party was in 1992 when Ross Perot ran for President. 2 years later the Reform Party was born before it was hijacked years later. Enter the @ForwardPartyNC and their Chair (Pat Newton) talks to @skydiving11 and me about how they’re building for the long haul in NC and across the country. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

Sorry @ForwardPartyNC but I messed up the handle on this 👇 post.

NEW #DoPoliticsBetter 🎧 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas… The @NCForwardPartyNC seems to be on to something in #ncpol but can the upstart get thru NC’s ballot access barriers — and even if it does, can it last? 1992 and 1996 says no. But other chapters in history say yes. Plus @skydiving11 & I unpack vetoes, a new House candidate, polling, and more.

Start your week with the #DoPoliticsBetter podcast: ↪️ Rep @JenBalkcom now in CD11 📊 Polls, polls, polls — yep 3 of them 📸 Posing for #ncpol photos 🎙️ Rep @TerryBrownCLT talks to @skydiving11 & me about fatherhood, leadership, and what #ncga lobbyists are getting wrong with @NCHouseDems. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…
