And we won. This was a big case for our state - here’s what happened:15 Jan 2026 19:25 +0000at://did:plc:b356hojt5f3ygzohpxslomjt/app.bsky.feed.post/3mcics6qtcs2uhttps://bsky.app/profile/jeffjacksonnc.bsky.social/post/3mbcms3lktc2mBREAKING: In a surprise move, the Dept of Ed announced a $50m cut to education funding in NC, mainly hitting our rural schools. It’s unlawful, so I’m taking them to court.31 Dec 2025 19:43 +0000at://did:plc:b356hojt5f3ygzohpxslomjt/app.bsky.feed.post/3mbcms3lktc2mhttps://bsky.app/profile/jeffjacksonnc.bsky.social/post/3maszjjbqes2aMerry Christmas from the Jacksons 🎄🎁25 Dec 2025 14:48 +0000at://did:plc:b356hojt5f3ygzohpxslomjt/app.bsky.feed.post/3maszjjbqes2ahttps://bsky.app/profile/jeffjacksonnc.bsky.social/post/3m4qojkn2ys2aUpdate: The Agriculture Department just told the court it will use its entire emergency fund over the next month to make 50% payments to every SNAP recipient. My office is still reviewing the order to see what else we can do to help, but we all need to give extra support our local food pantries.03 Nov 2025 18:45 +0000at://did:plc:b356hojt5f3ygzohpxslomjt/app.bsky.feed.post/3m4qojkn2ys2ahttps://bsky.app/profile/jeffjacksonnc.bsky.social/post/3m4j4a7zwqs2xGreat news: In the lawsuit we filed, a federal court just ruled that the Agriculture Department acted unlawfully by refusing to use its emergency fund to make SNAP payments. It has until Monday to deliver a plan to pay benefits. This is a major step toward making sure 16m kids don’t go hungry.31 Oct 2025 18:29 +0000at://did:plc:b356hojt5f3ygzohpxslomjt/app.bsky.feed.post/3m4j4a7zwqs2xhttps://bsky.app/profile/jeffjacksonnc.bsky.social/post/3m4bpmojhuc2pBreaking: SNAP benefits are getting shut off next week for 16 million kids - including 600,000 in NC - because the USDA is refusing to use its $6b emergency fund. They’re playing shutdown politics in a way that will cause a major hunger crisis - so I’m taking them to court to stop them.28 Oct 2025 19:55 +0000at://did:plc:b356hojt5f3ygzohpxslomjt/app.bsky.feed.post/3m4bpmojhuc2phttps://bsky.app/profile/jeffjacksonnc.bsky.social/post/3lzvwtq3z7s2uI’ve been in touch with law enforcement in Brunswick County and offered our office’s full support as they investigate last night’s shooting in Southport.

That’s about $36m of the $165m in education funding they froze for NC.
