The latest state budget cut off IOLTA funding (not tax dollars, a program of the State Bar) for Legal Aid and many civil legal services for low income NCians.  This week, incredible women attorneys in Raleigh gathered to raise money for @LegalAidNC because we know that the 3,184 domestic violence protective orders secured in 2025 with civil legal aid grants from the NC IOLTA program *saved women's lives* - it was an honor to join the Top 50 Women Super Lawyers in this effort.

In honor of Dolly Parton’s life and work, it is an honor to proclaim 9/25 “9 to 5 Day – or Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library Day of Reading.” Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library has helped millions of children discover the joy of reading, including more than 240,000 children across North Carolina. Her generosity has also made a difference for families in western North Carolina recovering from Hurricane Helene. Dolly has left an incredible mark on our state and on generations of children, and it’s an honor to recognize her legacy.

Tonight marks the first night of Rosh Hashanah. This new year is the perfect time for us to reflect on the values of teshuvah and tikkun – repentance and repair. Our faith calls us to stop our transgressions and apologize for them and to do our part to make a difference and leave the world better than we found it. To all those celebrating the new year across North Carolina, may you have a happy, healthy, sweet and peaceful new year. L’Shana Tova!

Twenty-five years later, we continue to remember the nearly 3,000 innocent lives lost on September 11, 2001, and the first responders who ran toward danger to protect others. Today, we honor their memories and the courage of the Americans who came together in the face of unimaginable tragedy. We will never forget.

Flags across North Carolina will be at half staff through September 10 in honor of Gloria Steinem. Steinem was a powerhouse journalist and advocate for freedom and equality. Her work inspired so many and helped women in the United States and across the world make real strides. And when women succeed, families and communities are stronger. May her memory be a blessing.

Some people put their ideas out in the world and hope they catch on. Not Gloria Steinem. Through her writing, her speeches, and her organizing, she demanded that the world pay attention to all the ways that women had been — and in some cases, still are — treated unfairly. And she helped awaken us to problems like domestic violence, the lack of affordable child care, and unfair hiring practices that had too often been ignored or overlooked. Gloria really was larger than life. Today, generations of women are walking a little taller and aiming a little higher because of what she fought for and achieved. Michelle and I are thinking of her family today, and everyone — women and men — who were inspired by her towering example.

Gloria Steinem was one of the most influential figures in modern American history. As a journalist, she used her pen to write stories that would inform the world about women, our status, our lives, bodies and more. What a great soul. Rest in power dear friend. We shall miss you.

Dolly Parton spent decades quietly funding band uniforms and instruments at Black high schools across the South - never once putting her name on it. No headlines, no fanfare — just help, given because it was needed. Rhinestones on the outside, gold on the inside. 💛

May 1st marks the start of AAPI Heritage Month — and it's personal for me. My parents are part of the generation that brought their families, their talents, and their dreams to North Carolina. Like so many Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, they helped build this state into what it is today. This month, I celebrate them and every member of our AAPI community whose contributions make North Carolina's future brighter. #ncpol #AAPI #AAPIHeritageMonth #northcarolina

Today, the Court issued a ruling dismissing the Leandro school funding case, ending any possibility of relief for the plaintiffs. I dissented.

The story of Passover is as timeless as it is relevant – a story of resilience, of moving from bondage to freedom, from darkness to light. From our family to all those celebrating across North Carolina, we wish you a meaningful, joyous, and peaceful Passover.
