Very exciting! #NCDems are posting some really great candidates for council of state races. @LuisToledoNC would make a great state auditor! #ncpol#VoteBlue2024
Again, this isn't Meh. It's Egregious. It would be meh if southern Wake was in a district with Johnston, Harnett, Lee, Chatham. That at least would make sense. This has voters in Holly Springs in the same congressional district with voters in Asheboro. Why? #ncpol#redistricting
Sen. Natasha Marcus (D-Mecklenburg) pointed to the reduced transparency in North Carolina this year and said, “And, of course, they’re not asking for anybody’s input: the public, Democrats. It’s all being done in secret just like they did the budget.” https://t.co/eW2PI6fUHF
Public schools are some of the biggest employers in rural counties. Underfunding the hurts children, teachers, and our economy. @NCGOP#ncpol#ncga#nced#Leandro#ITYSL
Eric Willoughby, a 17-year-old from Huntersville, NC, drove 2.5 hours, to speak out against new maps being crafted outside of public view.
"Be very careful in what you choose to do, because young people like me are watching, and young people are fed up." https://t.co/NXHkOXz3iL
If you took the pork in the State Budget allocated to just 3 Republicans (Cotham, Pare, and Hall) - you could provide free or reduced lunch to EVERY public school student in NC for a year. #KidsFirst#ncga#ncpol
Nearly every speaker slammed the NCGOP at yesterday’s maps hearing.
I spoke as a mom. Moms DON'T like what the GOP is doing from their "safe" districts: de-funding public schools, severely restricting abortion, making it EASIER (!) to buy guns. We MUST vote them out. #FairMaps
Freedom Christian Academy in Fayetteville got >$1.2 m for vouchers last year.
They only take students whose parents have a "vibrant relationship with Jesus Christ" and who demonstrate "a desire to learn."
This institution shouldn't get public dollars. #nced#ncga#ncpol
They’re going to shut down the government down going into an election year to punish a member of their own party.
If this doesn’t tell you that the GOP is unserious and unqualified to govern, I don’t know what will.
Great reporting by @TravisFain. Also a
perfect example of how Republican voters also get screwed over by unaccountable politicians. Expect to see way more of this kind of corruption if the new maps are as gerrymandered as many expect. #ncpol#ncga
Indivisible TX-24 appreciates the coverage and detailed story of this important and informative #TruthBrigade event discussing of the Carroll ISD 7 Civil Rights Investigations. Thanks to all presenters and those who attended. @IndivisibleTeam Grow Grant in operation!
So today, Republicans in the NC legislature dropped a 611-page budget bill, written in secret closed-door meetings, and which they've allowed no Democratic members to read. Votes are planned imminently.
This is gangsterism, not governance.

We've seen too many dirty political tricks to count since @NCGOP took over NC's state legislature 12 years ago.
Holding 600K people's Medicaid expansion hostage to force passage of a casino bill that enriches a handful of Republican allies might be the worst. #ncpol#ncga
Big budget provision ‼️. Page 427 proposes to allow our Supreme Court Justices and Court of Appeal Judges to carry concealed guns in court. Goodbye bailiffs and good luck to lawyers as justices twirl guns around their fingers during oral arguments. #ncpol#ncga
@NCSenateDems Thank you, NC Senate Dems!! I feel like NC got the bottom of the barrel with the GOP members, but I know we also have the cream of the crop with many of our Dems!!!
