This US House district was once a political battleground. Now it shows why Congress is dysfunctional

RALEIGH, N.C.: In 2022, Democrat Wiley Nickel ran as a moderate and narrowly won North Carolina’s 13th Congressional District by about 9,000 votes. Two years later, the current congressman, Republican Brad Knott, ran as a conservative and coasted into the US House by more than 70,000 votes. Voters didn’t change their minds. Politicians changed their voters. The Republican-controlled legislature redrew the state’s congressional map to transform what was one of the last remaining swing districts in the South to a safe GOP seat. Lawmakers split the rectangular 13th District into an hourglass shape that carved out Democratic voters in Raleigh and replaced them with a swath of rural counties reaching up to the Virginia border. That decline accelerated over the past year after Republican President Donald Trump sparked a partisan redistricting battle. The number of swing districts fell from 45…

Mayor's Homelessness Proposal Would Bring Hundreds Out of Tents and Into Shelter That Works for Them

Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson announced a new approach to unsheltered homelessness this week that builds on previous successful “encampment resolution” efforts that brought hundreds of unsheltered people into shelter that met their needs instead of simply sweeping them from place to place. The shelter part is critical, proponents say, because outreach without shelter just moves people from place to place, traumatizing them repeatedly and angering housed residents who feel the city isn’t addressing visible homelessness. “We’ve seen that neighborhood leaders, ambassadors, and outreach teams are great at identifying and case conferencing individuals who had high neighborhood impact, but we rarely, if ever, have access to the kind of shelter and services that we need to resolve their concerns out in the community,” REACH program Chloe Gale said Wednesday. “So we’re pleased that this will…

Battenfeld: Far left, MassGOP unlikely allies in battle against Question 3

Far left leaders Michelle Wu, Ayanna Pressley and the weak MassGOP are unlikely allies this year in a bid to reject the all-party primary system ballot question — facing off against former Govs. Charlie Baker and Deval Patrick. Question 3 would scrap the current party primary system for statewide and federal elections that for now at least guarantees the lowly GOP has a candidate in the general election. But Wu and Pressley and Sen. Ed Markey are taking the side of the state Democratic Party which is trying to protect its incumbents from getting a stronger challenge. “I’m voting HELL NO on Question 3 in Massachusetts,” Pressley blared on social media in her typical understated style. “Question 3 is a power grab, plain and simple. It is a billionaire, private equity-backed scheme to rig our elections, to tilt the playing field, and make it harder for working-class people to run for…

Protest Planned for Erika Kirk’s Visit to Fayetteville Christian School

A local group is planning to protest Erika Kirk’s upcoming appearance at Fayetteville Christian School to raise awareness about her visit and the nearly $5 million in public funds the private school received in the last school year. The Fayetteville Resistance Coalition, which describes itself as a non-partisan organization “united in opposition to authoritarianism,” has scheduled a demonstration on Wednesday outside the school at 1422 Ireland Drive. Kirk, CEO and board chair of the conservative organization Turning Point USA, is expected to address junior high and high school students about civic engagement. According to an April 2026 report by Public Schools First NC, Fayetteville Christian School (FCS) received $2.01 million in Opportunity Scholarship payments during the 2023-24 school year, $3.68 million in 2024-25, and $4.27 million in 2025-26. This makes Fayetteville Christian…
