As Governor, @roycoopernc worked alongside House Democrats to expand Medicaid, strengthen our schools, create jobs, and break the GOP supermajority.
Now the next step is clear: win back the House majority.
Today, Roy Cooper is asking you to invest in that fight. Every contribution helps us build the campaigns that will elect Democrats who put North Carolinians first.
From the Navy SEAL officer who planned and executed the Bin Laden raid: “In recent months, President Trump, upon advice from Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, has relieved or forced the retirement of some of the finest officers that have ever served this nation. I have personally worked with most of them in combat….And this week, in an egregious decision, the president forced General Chris Donahue to step down from his position in command of U.S. Army Europe. Donahue is without question one of the most brilliant officers I know. He is strategically focused, tactically aggressive, personally courageous, exceptionally thoughtful in his planning and execution, and compassionate with his troops. He has the respect of every man and woman who ever served with him—and you can put me at the top of that list.”
BREAKING: Pennsylvania HUMILIATES Trump by refusing to take part in his ludicrous and wasteful “Great American State Fair” with a scathing announcement.
Every single blue state needs to do this...
“Unfortunately, due to the high cost to taxpayers and not being able to secure PA businesses to sponsor the booth, Pennsylvania will not be a participant in the Great American State Fair,” stated a spokesperson for PA's Department of Community and Economic Development.
While the 16-day taxpayer-funded bonanza is ostensibly designed to celebrate America's 250th anniversary, it's painfully obvious that the entire affair is just another pathetic attempt to flatter Trump's ego. Freedom 250, the group organizing the event on behalf of the President, has insisted that it's "nonpartisan" with a "track record of collaboration."
But Trump himself has already let the cat out of the bag.
He launched the fair with one of his characteristically divisive speeches on the National Mall and plans on holding a full-blown MAGA rally on July 4th at the Lincoln Memorial before the fireworks show. If you think for a moment that that speech will be anything other than a semi-coherent rant torching Democrats and touting his imagined achievements, you haven't been paying attention. This man is pathologically incapable of uniting this country.
“This President routinely makes patriotism partisan and personal—and it shouldn’t be that way,” said Pennsylvania Governor Shapiro.
“It reflects this sad state of affairs that we find ourselves in — that the President has politicized this to a degree that businesses don’t want to participate,” he said.
Pennsylvania joins seven other Democratically-led states that will not be participating in this farce of an event. The others are Connecticut, Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Oregon, and Washington.
We commend these states for standing up to the White House. Americans can't afford groceries and Trump wants to burn through more of our tax dollars on yet another pointless, bloated tribute to his failed presidency. Enough is enough.
Please ❤️ and share to urge the other states to boycott!
“Trump wanted to fix up the Reflecting Pool. What he got instead was an on-the-nose metaphor for the state of his presidency: a no-bid contract to a crony that went over budget, ended in failure, and resulted in the pool being policed by federal troops” https://t.co/ocGGXCk049
🚨 ELECTORAL COLLAPSE: Donald Trump tried to quietly execute a double plot to hijack state elections and choke off mail-in ballots. The courts just stepped in and slammed his hand away twice in 48 hours. RT to break the blackout & see the rulings: 👇 https://t.co/S19LPCu5W4
Roy on @MSNOWNews last night: My opponent Michael Whatley is trying to convince people that prices are down and that we have defeated inflation because he has to continue to ingratiate himself to this president. At the end of the day, the people of North Carolina are not going to buy that. I heard Congressman Raskin talking about Republicans in Congress now aren’t supporting the slush fund. Well, I’ve got somebody who’s supporting it here in North Carolina and that’s Michael Whatley — because he knows he has to.
BREAKING: GET HIM! Congressman Jamie Raskin DISMANTLES Mike Johnson after he whined that Democrats will investigate Republican corruption if we win the midterms.
The MAGA Speaker walked face-first into this one...
"If we were to lose the midterms, heaven forbid, these Democrats, y'all impeachment's not even the big concern," said Johnson. "They will turn every committee of Congress into an investigative body, and they'll go after the President's family, the Cabinet, his donors and friends, half of you in this room will be targeted. I run the protection program. I’ll take care of you."
Oh, the horror! Imagine if Congress actually exercised its oversight powers to rein in the most lawless President in American history as he loots the treasury, lines his pockets from crypto scams, starts foreign wars on behalf of Israel, and covers up his own involvement in Jeffrey Epstein's massive child sex trafficking ring.
Raskin saw the jaw-dropping Johnson clip and quickly pounced—
"1. Speaker Johnson, you’re obsessing about losing the House but don’t seem to realize it’s because you have no program for the country other than illegal disastrous tariffs, illegal disastrous war and humiliating invertebrate submission to your unraveling cult master," wrote Raskin.
"2. You’re projecting onto us your own comically failed and obsessive investigations into President Biden, the Southern Poverty Law Center, James Comey, George Soros, etc."
"3. We obviously must confront the debilitating corruption and authoritarianism you have enabled, but at the same time we’re going to move America forward on all the public goods you have thwarted, like the health care of the people, increasing the minimum wage and protecting our environment."
"4. I agree that you 'run the protection program' and 'take care' of all MAGA violators!"
That last point is worth paying attention to. Johnson sounds exactly like a mafia don in a low budget gangster flick, which is presumably a habit he picked up from his cult leader Donald. The Republican Party is now indistinguishable from a criminal organization. They violate the Constitution daily while turning a blind eye to Trump's endless parade of lawbreaking.
Johnson's speech has become an accidental campaign ad for Democrats. If you care about upholding the law and restoring our democracy, you have to vote blue.
What do you want Democrats to prioritize when we retake power? Sound off!
Please ❤️ and share if you'll NEVER vote Republican for as long as you live!
Dept. of Education Sec. McMahon is a disaster for students, teachers, and families, taking a sledgehammer to the Department of Education.
Her illegal actions have made 90% of American students attending public schools more vulnerable.
Today, @RepBonamici and I filed articles of impeachment.
#BREAKING: Hayes: “So as Elon Musk jumped around with his chainsaw and bragged about wood chippers, experts and laid off aid workers AT THE TIME, were telling us VERY EXPLICITLY, what would happen…Again, he and a bunch of folks that came to work with him, they pulled the plug on all sorts of programs with no warning whatsoever, for the poorest and most desperate people in the world, who were relying on it for everything from food to HIV medication, then he walked away from it, and his space company went public. History will obviously remember Elon Musk’s inconceivable wealth, but will it reckon with the human cost of his power?”😳
