If you watch one thing today, make it this.

Rep. Ager asks real-world questions about how H958 would affect military members and their families trying to vote. The answers show just how complicated this bill makes something that should never be complicated for those who serve our country.

It's shameful. #ncpol

Today the Republican majority in the NC House reaffirmed their fealty to Donald Trump by overriding Governor Stein’s vetoes of HB 171, SB 153, SB 227, and SB 558. Time for change in North Carolina!

[Leader Reives Press @ReivesPress]

North Carolina hasn't passed a comprehensive budget since 2023. Today marks 1,000 days since that date.

“Republican leadership continues to leave North Carolinians behind with this failure to govern." -- @electreives

And let’s not forget, this wasn’t a partisan fight. This was a Republican Party that had the votes to pass whatever they wanted but couldn’t get their act together for nearly three years. Time for a change in the GA!

[Bryan Anderson @BryanRAnderson]

If NC lawmakers hit their target and wrap up budget votes next week, it's possible they'll snap a 1,000-day streak without passing a comprehensive budget. Last time a comprehensive budget was passed was September 22, 2023. Next Thursday would be the 1K-day mark. #ncpol

[Leader Reives Press @ReivesPress]

“Republican members of the Jackson County Board of Elections said they were pressured by party and state leaders to vote against a plan to have a campus-based early voting site at Western Carolina University.” #ncpol #ncga

[NC Democratic Party House Caucus @NCHouseDems]

You cannot brag about economic development while refusing to pass a real budget.

North Carolina is still stuck operating under a CR, and now major projects are warning that delayed state funding is slowing hiring and infrastructure timelines.

Businesses need certainty. Communities need investment. Pass a budget. #ncpol https://t.co/hC1gdcTQOG

@NCLtGovernor @EDPNC @NCChamber @NCCommerce This is a great effort to solve a critical economic problem in NC and to help young families thrive. Thanks for leadership @NCLtGovernor.

@Sallyglasgow3 Thanks Sally!

Great to be out this morning in Raleigh with Buncombe teachers and educators from across the state. We are failing them in the legislature and the seams are starting to come apart. The time to pass a budget with pay increases for all NC employees is now!

[Carolina Forward @ForwardCarolina]

(1) This claim from @DavidWillisNC is totally, like bonkers pants-on-head wrong
(2) What is true is Rep. Willis personally owns tens of thousands of dollars in stock in the Chinese Communist Party's state-owned oil company.

Isn't that odd?

“North Carolinians want us to get ahead of this."

"No more cost-shifting onto working families,” Prather said. “The public should be held harmless from increased costs associated with large data centers coming to town.”

“I am glad to see Republican Leadership recognizing that North Carolinians are living through an affordability crisis that this General Assembly has only exacerbated by failing to do its basic duties." -- @electreives

Years without a comprehensive state budget and starting trooper pay ranking around 49th in the nation hurts our State Highway Patrol. Republican leadership needs to get serious about investing in public safety in North Carolina. #ncpol #ncga

Looking forward to moderating tonight’s town hall with @PratherForNC, @ager_eric, and @MayfieldforNC!

If you live in Buncombe Co, this is a great chance to hear from your #NCPol elected reps about the latest on legislation impacting your community.

RALEIGH — Attorney General Jeff Jackson joined a coalition of 24 attorneys general in challenging an EPA rollback that the agency’s own analysis shows will raise fuel costs and cost consumers more than it saves.

Thought President Trump was going to make life cheaper but gas prices sure have shot up in the last week.

[Leader Robert Reives @electreives]

I am so proud of the men and women who stepped up to run for the North Carolina House as Democrats.

@NCHouseDems have a bold vision to make life more affordable and the American Dream more achievable.

Now on to November!

[Jamie Ager @JamieAgerNC]

I am beyond honored to have received the Democratic nomination for US Congress this evening! Together, we’re going to flip this seat, build an economy that supports working families, and deliver the Helene recovery Chuck Edwards won't! Thank you so much for your support! #ncpol

[NC Democratic Party House Caucus @NCHouseDems]

You were overcharged on your power bill. A court said you deserve a refund. Republicans in NC changed the law so you won’t get one. #ncpol Read @TerryBrownCLT op-ed here: https://t.co/MmuKHnMUmM
