Health care professionals asked to preserve IV fluid
SUMMARY: As of 5:30 PM, emergency responders are urged to conserve IV fluids due to a flooding incident at a major manufacturing facility in Western North Carolina. This has disrupted supplies, impacting smaller programs, particularly in rural areas like Edgecombe County, which rely heavily on this facility for their IV fluids. The facility accounts for about 60% of the U.S. IV bag supply. Larger hospitals can stockpile, but smaller units face significant challenges. Healthcare professionals are altering their usage strategies to conserve supplies while ensuring patient care, with Duke University monitoring other manufacturers for potential support during this crisis.
Local emergency responders are being asked to conserve IV bags due to a shortage caused by Hurricane Helene flooding a North Carolina manufacturing facility.

Moore changing Houses, heading to Washington | North Carolina
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.

Congress hears more testimony about UFOs: ‘We are not alone’
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.”
