If you deceived your way into benefits you should pay them back to the rightful people - the taxpayer.

If someone receives extra benefits because of a mistake by the State, the person should not have to repay. However if the overpayment is the result of fraud by the person, of course they shou have to pay it back.

Patricia Boggs

Not their fault they were put out of s job

Sue Evans

These people had no idea the money was received in error and use the money to survive. Due to the confusion caused by the government in addressing the pandemic, no one seems to know what is or was suppose to happen The state was ultimately responsible to oversee and they failed.

RFK Jr dropped a bombshell on mRNA vaccine technology. He says COVID shots PROLONGED the pandemic… and helped CAUSE the variants. With the conclusion that mRNA shots are ineffective against respiratory viruses, prolonged pandemics, and encourage mutations. “mRNA technology has more risks than bene”

The progressive socialist are treasonous. A threat to Americans and the United States. They bend rules, break rules and subvert law. They are racist, cult, extremists, and I am being kind at that. It's time for the insanity to end and for the adults to again take charge.

Why would the republicans vote against setting a law to prevent gerrymandering in 2021 HR1 ‘For the People Act’ in DC? If they wanted to prevent cheating, they would have voted yes. But here we are trying to change the maps when normally we do it every 10 years after census data.

Max DeYoung

Congressional maps should not be bases on racial matters, religions, or any matter similar.

The Republicans know they have gone too crazy and ruined their core values by not standing against trump for his craziness. The Republicans know they cannot win a fair fight anymore, so they have to result to un-American tactics. I gave myself whiplash shaking my head so hard. Hypercritics they are!

Keith Oser

Just another political ploy to divert and appease the convicted criminal in the White House……. Where are the Epstein files?

Keith

MAGA and Republicans are treasonous. A threat to Americans and the United States. They bend rules, break rules and subvert law. They are racist, cult, extremists.

Lillian Bears

The map was redone at the last census. No more need until the next census. It should be the same for all states not matter what districts are held by Republicans or Democrats.

Toasty

No. Republicans need to focus on eliminating/reducing property taxes, road improvements, etc not splitting millimeters on a map trying to garner more power.

Walter Jones

Gerrymandering districts in NC has contributed to many people being represented by someone who does not represent their beliefs. Maybe it's time for Democrats to start this crap. We really need to find an impartial way to divide states. In this age of AI it should not be complicated.

Tom Maxwell

Republicans are doing their job very poorly. We need less not more

Eric Smith

America needs more stellar Democrats to serve 50 plus years in Congress. Without them, we wont get to see a House speaker rip up a presidential address in front of the nation, not to mention getting extremely wealthy with incredible investment skills.

Nicole

Seems weird you would say this considering the top 2 wealthiest congress members are republicans. Rep Pelosi comes in at #11.

Will Mason

We haven't had dems gerrymandering our districts like Texas dems did. We don't need to correct democrat gerrymandering. Texas does.

Nicole

Texas Democrats gerrymandered the state but R’s hold 25 seats and Dems have 12 seats. Do you not understand how gerrymandering works?

Jeffery Schuyler

Republicans engaging in gerrymandering to cement their power and shut out Democratic voices only demonstrates their despiration.
