RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — North Carolina legislators decided to rein in local governments by approving a bill Wednesday that prevents cities and counties from passing their own anti-discrimination rules. Gov. Pat McCrory later signed the legislation, which dealt a blow to the LGBT movement after success with protections in cities across the country.
The Republican-controlled General Assembly took action after Charlotte city leaders last month approved a broad anti-discrimination measure. Critics focused on language in the ordinance that allowed transgender people to use the restroom aligned with their gender identity.
BOSTON – Seth Moulton, the first-term congressman from the North Shore, dropped a bombshell Wednesday, comparing Donald Trump's rise to Adolf Hitler's early days as a politician during the Weimar Republic era in Germany.
"When you're in politics, one of those sort-of like cardinal rules is you never say what I'm about to say," Moulton said to preface his remarks during an interview before a Suffolk University audience in Boston.
