- Description
- On this month's episode, host Tim Boyum tackles perhaps the biggest challenge facing North Carolina that many may not fully know or understand. As North Carolina grows and data centers dramatically increase in the state, there's a struggle to create enough energy to power the state but also in communities over locating these data centers. Will we have enough power in the future? Tim talks with leaders at Duke Energy, a North Carolina data center developer, a solar advocate and a utilities commissioner, and he visits a small town that is voting to potentially ban future data centers.

- James Talarico barely mentioned President Donald Trump when he finally got to give his victory speech on Wednesday night as the Democrats’ nominee for the U.S. Senate in Texas. But the 36-year-old state lawmaker is now a frontman for the left’s opposition to Trump, not just in his own state but around the country. With his victory over U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett, the state lawmaker from Austin will test whether a smiling message of unity and change is enough to answer voters’ frustrations amid discord at home and now a war abroad.

- Description
- Animal rights advocates are sounding the alarm that the new Republican-led farm bill would make it more difficult to remove dogs from so-called puppy mills. Currently, it’s up to inspectors with the U.S. Department of Agriculture to ensure the puppy mills meet even the minimal standards, such as food, water, and veterinary care. But an inspector general reported last year that even this oversight is sometimes lacking, with problems ranging from inconsistent inspections to not properly documenting welfare concerns.

- Description
- The numbers are astounding when it comes to domestic violence. An average of 20 people are physically abused by intimate partners every minute. This equates to more than 10 million abuse victims annually. Millions of Americans live in daily, silent fear within their own homes. In addition, every year millions of children are exposed to domestic violence. Domestic violence incidents affect every person within a home and can have long-lasting negative effects on children's emotional well-being, and social and academic functioning. How can we, as a society, bring those sobering numbers down?

Prediction markets are where people can wager money to predict the outcome of anything — from sports to world events. The prediction markets turned against Gonzales and now favor his top Republican opponent, Brandon Herrera. Some of Texas' top pollsters say people should take this information with a grain of salt because anyone willing to place a wager and who can access internet service can affect prediction markets. They also can be influenced by who places wagers, including people trying to make money on the results.
