(The Center Square) – Sessions in each chamber will convene for the North Carolina General Assembly on Monday, albeit not as requested by first-term Democratic Gov. Josh Stein. The governor’s request on Nov. 6 was for the Legislature to convene Monday for the purpose of funding Medicaid. Sen. Phil Berger, R-Rockingham, and Rep. Destin Hall, R-Caldwell, as respective leaders of the Senate and House of Representatives wrote Thursday to Stein advising it would not happen and was unconstitutional. Citing, Article III, Section 5(7), the president pro tempore of the Senate and House speaker said the governor can call an “extra session” only “on extraordinary occasions.” “Gov. Stein’s call is not extraordinary,” Berger said in a release. “This is a self-inflicted ‘crisis’ that was entirely avoidable. All Gov. Stein and the Department of Health and Human Services secretary had to do was pause their Medicaid reimbursement rate cuts.” Added Hall in his release, “Although Gov. Stein’s own health agency confirmed Medicaid is funded through at least April 2026 – with the General Assembly appropriating $600 million for the program’s rebase – his administration cut provider rates on Oct. 1, putting care for thousands of North Carolinians at risk. Stein’s Department of Health and Human Services has since faced multiple lawsuits, with part of the cuts already enjoined in Wake County Superior Court.” Medicaid rebase means an adjustment to fiscal support because of costs and or volume of people enrolled. More than 3 million people, or 1 in 4, across the state are covered by Medicaid. Enrollment includes 43% of the state’s children and 67% of residents in nursing homes. Half of the state’s births are covered by Medicaid. Hall said the House passed “three clean, standalone bills in recent months to clean up the governor’s mess and ensure North Carolina meets its obligations to patients and providers.” His release said members of the chambers have “been informed not to expect voting sessions in the Legislature next week.” Berger said the Senate passed “several bills this session to address the growing health care affordability crisis from all angles. Beyond passing multiple bills to fully fund the Medicaid rebase based on nonpartisan fiscal projections, Senate Republicans introduced proposals to bring much-needed transparency to health care costs, including tackling surprise billing, facility fees, and repealing archaic certificate-of-need laws.” Stein, responding late Thursday to the rejection, said in part, “Speaker Hall and President Pro Tempore Berger would rather come up with excuses than fund Medicaid for the people of North Carolina. This is the latest example of their dysfunction that has become the norm of North Carolina’s General Assembly. The Republican majority has made the time to damage our democracy with their gerrymander. But when it comes time to protect people’s health care? When it comes time to enact a comprehensive budget? They’re on vacation, and they’ll see us next year. All while North Carolina families pay the price. That’s unacceptable.”

(The Center Square) - Following the passage of the Congressional budget, federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits have been reinstated across the country. The state Department of Human Services announced it has already issued full payments for the month of November to about two million Pennsylvanians. Pennsylvania was among a handful of states who moved quickly to start sending full payments between a ruling requiring the U.S. Department of Agriculture to pay in full and a stay issued by the U.S. Supreme Court halting the process. The process was incomplete, but the ensuing legal limbo was ultimately short-lived thanks to the end of the budget stalemate in Washington. DHS reported that it issued $276 million in payments on Thursday on top of those totaling $70 million issued Friday Nov. 7 before the U.S. Supreme Court granted the Trump administration’s request. “DHS staff was working tirelessly during the shutdown to make sure we were ready to get benefits out to Pennsylvanians as soon as funding was authorized,” said DHS Secretary Val Arkoosh. “Once the federal shutdown ended, the DHS staff mobilized immediately to get these essential benefits out to SNAP recipients whose food assistance was disrupted by inaction from federal leadership, and I am grateful to say that because of this quick work, all unpaid November SNAP payments should now be on cards ready to be spent on food and groceries.” The department hopes the payments will bring a much-needed infusion of cash to the state’s economy. They say 10,600 retailers at 38,000 locations accept SNAP. Recipients spend more than $350 million monthly with the benefit. Some store owners report that the majority of their income is from SNAP sales. The payments should also provide some relief for the state’s charitable food network, which strained as the weight of hunger increased. Prior to the shutdown, hunger had already risen by 44% in Pennsylvania over the last two years. A disaster declaration and private fundraising efforts saw about seven million dollars make their way to food banks. The state budget signed into law Wednesday includes $11 million dedicated to food security. The sum represents three million dollars for the State Food Purchase Program, one million for the Pennsylvania Agricultural Surplus System (PASS), two million for a new state-wide Food Bucks program to supplement SNAP, and five million in new funding to Pennsylvania food banks.

A Primeira Turma do Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF) encerrará às 23h59 desta sexta-feira (14) a sessão virtual na qual o colegiado manteve a condenação do ex-presidente Jair Bolsonaro a 27 anos e três meses de prisão na ação penal do Núcleo 1 da trama golpista. O julgamento começou na sexta-feira (14), mas, no mesmo dia, foi formado placar 4 a votos a 0 para rejeitar os recursos do ex-presidente e de mais seis réus para reverter as condenações e evitar a execução das penas em regime fechado.  Notícias relacionadas: Moraes vota para tornar Eduardo Bolsonaro réu por tentar coagir STF. PF aponta ex-ministro de Bolsonaro como pilar institucional de desvios. Entenda próximos passos do processo contra Bolsonaro no STF . Apesar do placar, o julgamento não foi encerrado automaticamente e será finalizado oficialmente ao final da sessão virtual, que termina hoje. Com o fim do julgamento, o processo contra Bolsonaro e seus aliados caminha para ser encerrado nas próximas semanas, quando o ministro Alexandre de Moraes, relator do caso, poderá determinar as prisões para início de cumprimento da pena. Acompanhe a cobertura completa da EBC na COP30  Próximos passos  O placar desfavorável não levará o ex-presidente e seus aliados para a prisão imediatamente.  A princípio, Bolsonaro e outros réus não têm direito a um novo recurso para levar o caso para o plenário do STF, composto por 11 ministros, incluindo André Mendonça e Nunes Marques, que foram indicados pelo ex-presidente, e Luiz Fux, que votou pela absolvição de Bolsonaro. Para conseguir que o caso fosse julgado novamente pelo pleno, os acusados precisavam obter pelo menos dois votos pela absolvição, ou seja, placar mínimo de 3 votos a 2 no julgamento realizado no dia 11 de setembro e que condenou os acusados. Nesse caso, os embargos infringentes poderiam ser protocolados contra a decisão.  No entanto, o placar pela condenação foi de 4 votos a 1.  Contudo, as defesas de Bolsonaro e dos demais réus devem insistir na tese de que novos recursos podem ser apresentados contra as condenações. A expectativa é de que os recursos sejam protocolados nos próximos dias. A prisão dos acusados só será decretada após Alexandre de Moraes declarar o trânsito em julgado da ação penal, ou seja, o fim do processo e da possibilidade de recorrer. Não há prazo para a decisão.  Prisão  Atualmente, o ex-presidente está em prisão cautelar em função das investigações do inquérito sobre o tarifaço dos Estados Unidos contra o Brasil. Se prisão for decretada por Moraes, o ex-presidente iniciará o cumprimento da pena definitiva pela ação penal do golpe no presídio da Papuda, em Brasília, ou em uma sala especial na Polícia Federal.  Os demais condenados são militares e delegados da Polícia Federal e poderão cumprir as penas em quartéis das Forças Armadas ou em alas especiais da própria Papuda. Diante do estado de saúde de Bolsonaro, a defesa também poderá solicitar que o ex-presidente seja mantido em prisão domiciliar, como ocorreu com o ex-presidente Fernando Collor.  Condenado pelo Supremo em um dos processos da Operação Lava Jato, Collor foi mandado para um presídio em Maceió, mas ganhou o direito de cumprir a pena em casa, sob monitoramento de tornozeleira eletrônica, por motivos de saúde.  Condenados  Além de Bolsonaro, também já tiveram os recursos negados o ex-ministro e candidato a vice-presidente na chapa de 2022, Walter Braga Netto; Almir Garnier, ex-comandante da Marinha; Anderson Torres, ex-ministro da Justiça e ex-secretário de Segurança do Distrito Federal; Augusto Heleno, ex-ministro do Gabinete de Segurança Institucional (GSI); Paulo Sérgio Nogueira, ex-ministro da Defesa e Alexandre Ramagem, ex-diretor da Agência Brasileira de Inteligência (Abin).  Mauro Cid, ex-ajudante de ordens de Bolsonaro, assinou delação premiada durante as investigações e não recorreu da condenação. Ele já cumpre a pena em regime aberto e tirou a tornozeleira eletrônica.  Confira a pena de cada condenado

(The Center Square) — Ouachita Parish residents will soon power their homes and businesses with electricity produced at a solar farm near Monroe, as more clean energy production tied to Meta’s $10 billion data center in northeast Louisiana is set to flow to the local grid by the end of 2025. Austin-based RWE Clean Energy on Thursday announced it has completed work on the 100-megawatt Lafitte Solar plant, an event celebrated at a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by Meta executives, Monroe Mayor Friday Ellis and officials from the Ouachita Parish Police Jury and Ouachita Parish Industrial Development Board. Lafitte Solar was enabled through a long-term Power Purchase Agreement with Meta, which receives all environmental benefits associated with the project, including Renewable Energy Certificates, said RWE Clean Energy in a news release. Meta uses certificates to match its annual electricity consumption with the production of new renewable energy, supporting the company’s goal of attaining net-zero emissions by 2030. “We’re thrilled to see the Lafitte Solar project reach this important milestone — not only adding clean energy to the grid locally but adding jobs to the local economy,” said Amanda Yang, head of clean and renewable energy at Meta. “Projects like Lafitte Solar are essential to achieving our clean energy goals while strengthening communities,” Yang said. Natural and native vegetation around the solar plant’s perimeter promotes biodiversity and habitat conservation, benefiting the land and surrounding farmlands, said RWE Clean Energy. A flock of over 600 sheep will maintain healthy vegetation at the solar plant, further protecting local farmland and demonstrating how renewable energy co-exists with agriculture, the company said. The Lafitte Solar plant will generate approximately $32 million in regional tax revenue over its operating lifetime, supporting public schools, law enforcement and emergency services, according to RWE Clean Energy. Joe Holyfield, president of the Ouachita Industrial Development Board, said the solar plant has helped the local economy. "Lafitte Solar brought jobs and investment to Ouachita Parish at a crucial time. Our local businesses felt an immediate benefit, and we look forward to sustained growth as energy projects like these strengthen our region's future," Holyfield said. RWE Clean Energy owns and manages over 10 gigawatts of operating wind, solar and battery projects in the United States, where the company has about 2,000 employees. RWE Clean Energy is a subsidiary of Essen, Germany-based RWE, a company with a 125-year history in electricity generation, coal mining, nuclear power and a variety of renewable technologies. The company is also a buyer of U.S. liquefied natural gas. Meta recently signed agreements to buy electricity from two other solar plants in Louisiana, in Sabine and Morehouse Parishes, which will support a total of 385 megawatts of electricity generation.
