SUMMARY: Hurricane Helen devastated Western North Carolina five months ago, causing over 100 deaths and $60 billion in damage. Recovery efforts continue under Governor Josh Stein, who recently requested $19 billion in federal aid, including funds for economic relief, housing repairs, infrastructure restoration, and disaster prevention. Local groups like the Appalachian Rebuild Project are actively addressing needs. The funds would support businesses, workers, and communities still reeling from the hurricane’s impact. Concerns about future funding cuts and the area’s historical neglect add urgency to the recovery. Stein’s request follows an earlier appeal for $1.1 billion in state funding.

Gov. Josh Stein is seeking $19 billion in federal funding toward Hurricane Helene recovery. Following a meeting with North Carolina’s US Sens. Thom Tillis and Ted Budd, his office announced the request, providing a 48-page breakdown of how the money would be spent.

SUMMARY: Elon Musk appeared at a conservative conference outside Washington, brandishing a chainsaw to symbolize his efforts to reduce the size of the federal government. He touted his role in government efficiency, particularly with cuts at the IRS, which has laid off 6,000 workers. Although officials claim tax return processing is unaffected, concerns about delays remain. Musk proposed a $5,000 taxpayer dividend funded by the cuts and claimed support from President Biden. He also faced accusations of ties to Russia, amid tensions over Ukraine and Trump’s strained relations with President Zelensky. Musk dismissed these claims and continued advocating for budget cuts.
