Our $200m FEMA case                        Big win for our state to tell you about. Here’s what happened: Back in July, I stood at a sewage pump station in Hillsborough that had just flooded during a tropical storm. Millions of gallons of sewage spilled into the river. What made…

And our A.I. task force                        A few weeks ago, I called the Republican attorney general for Utah, Derek Brown. I asked if he would join me in leading a bipartisan, AG-led task force on A.I. abuse. He was great. Agreed fast. Then we sent out word to other AGs, and…

And our SNAP win, CBP, and a big A.I. settlement                        Last time we spoke, I told you we were going to court to protect SNAP. Feels like a long time ago, but it was just a few weeks. It was a huge fight. To recap: We got a letter from the Agriculture Department s…

Food on the table for millions of kids                        You’ve probably seen the headlines that SNAP - our nation’s largest food assistance program, on which 1 in 4 children rely - may be about to come to a screeching halt. The situation is very serious. Here’s a quick vide…

Also, our big EPA lawsuit   This week, North Carolina’s legislature passed a new congressional map. Because our governor isn’t allowed to veto redistricting bills (a quirk of NC law), that map is now in effect. There will be many legal challenges to this map. More broadly, this is…

Here’s how it went                        Before we talk about our state Supreme Court: Good news. We won a fight with the Office of Management and Budget, which had unlawfully attempted to defund AmeriCorps. That move would have hit western NC especially hard. AmeriCorps ramped…

We all agree on this                        Lots to tell you. All good stuff. Let’s start here: Robocall crackdown When I became AG, I told my team we were going to get more aggressive on robocalls. Why? Because you told me to. Everybody hates these things, and we’re getting mo…

Some good news                        John, I don’t get to write many emails like this. In short: Total victory. Last month, I told you about the Department of Education suddenly freezing $165 million in funding for North Carolina schools — money that was supposed to arrive the …

                       Hello, John, I’m Roy Cooper, and I am running to be the next U.S. Senator from North Carolina. I believe that our brightest days are still ahead, but we have to work together to fix what’s broken in Washington. Politicians in DC are running up our debt, r…

And — no new A.I. laws for 10 years?   A few weeks ago, I was with my son at a go-kart track when my phone rang. It was an AG from another state. I picked up and he quickly said, “You need to read page 276 of the House bill that just dropped.” He was talking about the gigantic, 1…

Our new fentanyl fight   Last week, South Carolina’s Attorney General, Alan Wilson, joined me for a press conference. He had accepted my invitation to make an announcement together. That’s two different states - and two different parties - standing together for one reason. Folks,…
