You can support N.C. public schools while also holding them accountable and challenging them to do better.

In 2025, U.S. national parks recorded more than 323 million visits. But as the parks gain more popularity, the Trump administration has proposed cutting more than a billion dollars from the National Park Service, which could eliminate thousands of jobs and threaten protections across more than 430 parks nationwide. @GeoffRBennett has more.

A single dose of a new cancer drug made a brain tumor almost disappear – in just five days. Doctors at Massachusetts General Hospital reported “dramatic and rapid” tumor regression in the first patients treated with a next-generation form of CAR T-cell therapy for glioblastoma, one of the most aggressive brain cancers known. The therapy, called CARv3-TEAM-E, was developed to overcome a major hurdle in treating solid tumors: their ability to hide from the immune system. The personalized treatment reprograms a patient’s immune cells to attack the tumor, and in one extraordinary case, nearly eliminated the cancer within just five days. This novel therapy is designed to target multiple features of the tumor at once, a strategy that may help overcome the common challenge of treatment resistance in solid tumors like glioblastoma. Although the tumors eventually returned, the early outcomes were described as unprecedented. One patient saw a 60% reduction in tumor size that lasted for half a year—an impressive result in a cancer known for its aggressiveness. The trial’s success marks a major step forward for immunotherapy in brain cancer and raises new hopes for long-term control or even a cure. Researchers are now working to refine the treatment and extend its effects, with the ultimate goal of turning a once-terminal diagnosis into a survivable condition.

Dear national media: Instead of using photos of LBJ signing the Voting Rights Act, use this one of its bi-partisan reauthorization. It does more to show how far we’ve regressed in a few short years.

We want to recognize the exemplary leadership of Dr. Bonnie Fusarelli in this role for many years!

Roy Cooper spent decades dragging North Carolina left and now he wants to do the same to America. Roy Cooper supports men playing in girls sports and raising taxes on working families. Roy Cooper marched with protestors and then let them burn Raleigh. And Roy Cooper assured all of America that Joe Biden was perfectly capable of being President for four more years. Roy Cooper doesn’t want to make America great again, he just wants to take America Left.

A national private school tax incentive is inching closer to reality as Republican-led proposals dedicate funding for the controversial effort in the “Big, Beautiful Bill,” despite calls to prioritize public schools, which serve most of the nation's kids. k12dive.com/news/national-pr…
