How Democrats can reclaim North Carolina governmentnew
There is no shortcut to reclaim the state via the election of a Democratic or independent governor, though winning the governor's office in 2016 will be critical. The challenge for the Democrats is to win control of the Senate or House by 2020.
A note from the Durham County jailnew
I noticed there were letters on both sides—on the front a typed intake form from the jail, on the back a handwritten note in pencil—so I sifted the pieces from the dormant blades of grass and took them home.

Daniel Baldwin’s San Antonio Mission: TV, Film and Sobrietynew
“My sobriety is nobody’s business,” he told the Current during an August 25 meeting at the Bauhaus Media Group studios, where he’s in post-production of the film he’s directing, Wisdom. The movie was shot in San Antonio, except for a scene in Malibu, California (“I’ll sell it as Corpus,” he laughs). He gave me the exact day of his sobriety (which I won’t share) but, after telling me “there’s a lot of lies that were written about me,” insists he won’t talk about it.
Yet, little by little, he opened up and told us about how inspiring the Wisdom journey has been for him and, hopefully, others.
