So the very thing reproductive rights advocates had been sounding the alarm about.

Thom Tillis is out. No matter which MAGA loyalist Trump picks, I’m the only Democrat in this race and I’m ready to win.

In 2022 I flipped a red seat in Congress, and now I’m running for US Senate to fight for North Carolina working families who Trump has left behind.

Democrats: “We need to protect Medicaid and SNAP to keep our communities healthy.”

Republican Senator: “Well, we’re all going to die.”

🚨 I’m running for the Senate to fight for North Carolina. Our democracy is under attack, and Thom Tillis doesn’t have the backbone to stand up to Trump and do what’s right for our state. Here’s who I am. 🧵👇

BREAKING in @PunchbowlNews AM early this morning: @WileyNickel is running for Senate.

[Wiley Nickel 🇺🇸 @WileyNickel]

Trump is shredding our Constitution and tanking our economy. Thom Tillis lacks the courage to stand up to him — I’ll be damned if I’m going to sit on the sidelines.

I’m running to fight for a better future for North Carolinians.

Join our campaign — let’s take back the Senate.

News: Former Rep. Wiley Nickel (D-N.C.) will announce today that he’s going to challenge Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) for his Senate seat in 2026.

The Trump administration knowingly deported a Maryland father with legal protection from removal—sending him to El Salvador’s megaprison.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia:

– Came to the U.S. at 16 after fleeing gang death threats

– In 2019, an immigration judge granted him withholding of removal, a legal status protecting him from deportation after finding he’d likely be persecuted if returned

– No U.S. criminal record

– Married to a U.S. citizen, father to a 5-year-old disabled son

– Regularly complied with ICE check-ins

– ICE admitted it knew he had legal protection—but put him on the deportation flight anyway

– Not on the manifest—added as an “alternate”

– Now held in a prison for gang members, despite no charges or verified gang affiliation

The government now argues U.S. courts can’t order his return.

His wife recognized him in a propaganda photo released by El Salvador’s president—head forced down, frog-marched by masked guards.

ICE calls it an “administrative error.”

Then says it was done “in good faith.”

At the heart of Elon Musk's war on government 'efficiency' is really a war on democracy itself. In a Democracy, we all have a voice. Running the country like one of his companies would be called a dictatorship.

Want to know why it feels like your government is completely out of touch with your needs? Why our representatives aren’t working hard to earn and keep our votes? This @nytimes article has the answer.

Hint: it’s gerrymandering. 🧵👇 https://t.co/bQKGfo8bxM

To put this another way.

50.1% of NC voted for Democrats to control the NC Senate and Republican gerrymandering gave Republicans 60% of the seats.

51.1% of NC voted for Democrats to control the NC State House and Republican gerrymandering gave Republicans 59% of the seats.

That’s a Republican supermajority in the Senate and a one seat margin for @JoshStein_ in the State House. So if just one out of 49 Democrats in the House decides to override Stein’s veto then Republicans will have total control on any legislation (including the budget) in the #NCGA.

#EndGerrymanderingNOW

[Team Wiley @TeamWileyNickel]

Wiley and the rest of us Team Wiley have been hitting the doors and talking to voters in competitive #ncga districts everywhere!

This Get-Out-The-Vote season, every volunteer shift for @NCSenateDems and @NCHouseDems could be the difference.

Let’s break the supermajority💪

[Wiley Nickel 🇺🇸 @WileyNickel]

Me and the team have been using up every daylight hour this GOTV season to get out the vote for NC Dems up and down the ballot!
