**Tillis Criticizes Cherokee Campaign Against Lumbee Efforts; Eli Lilly Announces Major Expansion in North Carolina**

In yesterday's developments, U.S. Senator Thom Tillis took a strong stance against efforts by the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, calling out their opposition to federal recognition of the Lumbee Tribe. Tillis criticized the campaign led by the Cherokee group, describing it as an impediment to the Lumbee Tribe's ongoing push for federal acknowledgment. This issue has been a matter of regional tension as both tribal groups vie for federal support.

Meanwhile, global pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly unveiled plans for significant growth in North Carolina. The company continues to expand its operations in the region, signaling long-term investment and promising new developments for the state's economic landscape. This latest move is part of the company’s broader strategy to scale operations and enhance its production capacity.

Stay tuned for updates on both stories as events progress.
