SUMMARY: After 11 terms in the North Carolina House of Representatives, Republican Tim Moore is moving to the U.S. House. A record-holder as speaker, Moore played a key role in the state’s legislative achievements, including overriding numerous vetoes by Governor Cooper. Moore’s leadership skills, particularly his ability to manage a large legislature and encourage compromise, are highly regarded. He won his U.S. House race against Democrat Pat Genant with 58%. Despite Moore’s departure, Republicans are expected to maintain control of North Carolina’s policy direction, with new leaders like Dustin Hall stepping into Moore’s role in the state legislature.

SUMMARY: In a recent Capitol Hill hearing, lawmakers pushed for greater transparency on UAPs (Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena), the new term for UFOs. Former Pentagon officer Luis Elizondo confirmed the existence of secret UAP crash retrieval programs and suggested that non-human biological entities may be involved. He emphasized that UAPs, which could pose a national security threat, feature advanced technologies not made by any known government. Despite these claims, the hearing lacked direct evidence, with witnesses agreeing to testify behind closed doors. The hearing has sparked discussions about future investigations and public disclosure of classified materials.

Wednesday’s joint congressional hearing by subcommittees of the House Oversight Committee was titled, “Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena: Exposing the Truth.”

SUMMARY: Florida is suing current and former FEMA officials for allegedly discriminating against hurricane victims based on their political affiliation. Attorney General Ashley Moody filed the lawsuit against FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell and former official Marn’i Washington, claiming they directed workers to ignore aid requests from households displaying Trump signs. Reports indicate that at least 20 such homes were overlooked for assistance after hurricanes Helene and Milton. Washington, who was fired and claims to be a scapegoat, alleges that similar instructions were given in North Carolina. The lawsuit seeks damages and accountability for violating the civil rights of residents.
