The Carolina Panthers would never do this thank goodness

How is this constitutional

Robert Harrington's been mayor less than a week and the streets are already safer.

Senator Josh Hawley's leadership PAC paid $39.6K for an air charter the day he was scheduled to speak in Fort Lauderdale. I'm so tired of the corruption

I just published my second Fulcrum Caucus profile, this time on Army veteran and Mississippi Senate candidate Ty Pinkins: Read "The Mississippi Delta Veteran Running for Change": open.substack.com/pub/zachkahn...

My most recent article was a feature on Todd Achilles, a member of the Fulcrum Caucus: zachkahn.substack.com/p/the-data-d... Today I interviewed Ty Pinkins, another member of the Fulcrum Caucus. An article about Ty will be coming soon.

Thank you, Governor DeWine!

Most Senate candidates talk about ideology. Todd Achilles talks about data. I wrote about the little-known Independent in Idaho who thinks Congress can be fixed with pragmatism, not partisanship: zachkahn.substack.com/p/the-data-d...

Twenty years later, the Carolina Hurricanes have won their second Stanley Cup 🏆 nyti.ms/4eljHgW

Last week I spoke to @achillesid.bsky.social about his Senate campaign. You can learn more about him, as well as his bid to defeat incumbent Republican Jim Risch in my newest piece, "The Data-Driven Optimist Running to Fix Congress." open.substack.com/pub/zachkahn...

I mean everything I post on this app out of respect and love for humanity, and I apologize if some things have failed to come off that way. I greatly appreciate you all and the kindness and empathy of many people on this app.

Also, I don’t hold any hate towards any of yall and I want to make that clear. I just don’t love illogical arguments being made towards anyone, and maybe my hope that this country can somehow be healed without everything going on right now is too far fetched. I’m still learning and growing.

Maybe I’m a bit too serious on the Trump Knicks curse stuff. I just really want politics to be boring again and people to be nicer to each other and all.

This makes zero sense and is not logical. Look, I am not a fan of Trump either, but this is just polarizing and does no good to heal this divided country. Please stop with the trivial attacks. Thanks.

Politics has become entertainment. Outrage gets rewarded, spectacle gets clicks, and governing takes a back seat. I started Make Politics Boring Again to push back against that trend and focus on substance over sensationalism. My first post: open.substack.com/pub/makepoli...

The most powerful legislator in North Carolina, Senate President Pro Tem Phil Berger, employs his wife in his legislative office. So do 25 of his colleagues. Total cost to NC taxpayers? $998,549 per year. Zero public job postings. Zero competitive process. Zero merit? Full investigation coming.

It was quite a day in Charlotte today!

I'm graduating from high school in 28 days. Here are the 5 biggest lessons I have learned over the past four years as a high schooler: open.substack.com/pub/zachkahn...

Atrium Health is leasing tax-exempt land to a fried chicken restaurant—and won’t explain how that benefits the public. They redacted the lease. Ignored questions. Claimed it’s “competitive healthcare information.” My latest #investigation: open.substack.com/pub/zachkahn...

Hey Bluesky! My name is Zach. I just published an investigation into a hospital land tax loophole in NC involving a fried chicken restaurant and $110K+ in avoided taxes. I would really appreciate a repost so this reaches Atrium Health and state lawmakers! Thanks! open.substack.com/pub/zachkahn...

In North Carolina, land owned by Atrium Health hosted a chicken restaurant and avoided over $110K in taxes in one year. That’s a loophole costing public schools and services over $110K. Sign to tell NC state lawmakers to close this loophole 👇 c.org/pVCQkcFgSp

A fried chicken restaurant in North Carolina operates on hospital-owned land, raising serious tax questions. This is a story (with a petition in it) about a costly tax loophole Atrium Health is too "chicken" to explain: open.substack.com/pub/zachkahn...
