I WILL BE PUTTING ALL ANNOUNCED NORTH CAROLINA GOP CONVENTIONS ON THIS THREAD. 🧵
First one has been announced and is in the comments.
This will be a pinned post.
I would appreciate any help adding your county.
@Will_Tanner_1 Not every “conservative land coalition” is for conservatives. There are plenty of these that buy land just to have power. We have one here in Western North Carolina.
Just be careful. That’s all I’m saying.
@MargoinWNC Agree on accountability for results and transparency. Ordinary community events get labeled ‘divisive’ too easily these days- offer a variety of bonding activities; different strokes, different folks.
Republicans incentivized in-migration of Democrat voters to the state, and are scratching their heads on why a number of its counties have shifted blue. New Hanover, for example, has voted for the Republican presidential nominee for president in every election since 1968 through 2016, with the exception of Jimmy Carter in his first term. Since 2020, the Democrat candidate at the top of the ticket has won every election, and Dems have swept multiple local elections all the way down the ballot. This isn’t a coincidence. It’s a result of demographic shifts/urbanization brought on by massive in-migration facilitated by growth incentives.
“Go back home and take a break”.
Maggie, I hope N.C. Republican Legislators don’t listen to you.
Get the stuff done we sent you to do.
Pass the Veto Overrides:
• SB 50 – Permitless concealed carry for adults 18+ (Senate already overrode; House has not)
• HB 958 – Cuts early voting in primaries from 17 to 10 days + expands post-election ballot challenges
• HB 377 – Lets Supreme Court Chief Justice suspend trial judges without pay
• HB 437 – Restricts unauthorized camping on public property (critics say it criminalizes homelessness)
• HB 171 – Bans DEI programs, staff & training in state government (House overrode; Senate still needs to)
Then get these out of committee and get them passed:
The Women’s Safety and Protection Act (HB 791 / identical Senate bill S 516) is the main “women in safe spaces” bill.
SB 730 (Ratepayer Protection Act) — Awaits Senate action on House changes. It would require large data centers to cover more of the electricity-system costs associated with their demand.
Property-tax levy limit implementation — Voters approved the constitutional amendment giving the legislature authority to set a cap on how much cities and counties can raise property taxes. The implementing bill parameters is unfinished business.
The NC General Assembly returns to session for next week, then again in a few weeks before officially adjourning until January (when new leadership takes over). Dem. Strategist @MaggieKBarlow is asked what Democrats may expect of the @NCGOP in the "lame duck" period, on StateLines. #ncpol
Solicitor General John Sauer won a major Supreme Court grant on an immigration issue today. The case, Mullin v. RAICEL, presents two important issues relating to President Trump's highly successful efforts to secure the border. Including whether class actions are available at all
Just got lectured by a butcher because I wouldn't buy halal meat (I bought a 15 lb Brisket for my family but wouldn't buy the halal one). When I told him as a Christian I can't eat meat sacrificed to false gods, he called ME hateful. Apparently a Muslim asked them to do it and now they just push it on everyone.
I quoted the Bible verse about not eating meat sacrificed to idols. This is exactly how Islam creeps in to erode our standards and normalize things. They introduce halal meat, tell Christians it's fine and just a butchering method (it's not, it's a literal sacrifice to Allah), and call you the bad guy if you won't go along with it.
Stand your ground.
Donald Trump has a cabinet full of millionaires who couldn't tell you what a gallon of milk costs, but somehow they think they're qualified to tell working people how to live.
Despite being deaf and nonverbal, Jennica Pounds (@DataRepublican) just delivered one of the most powerful speeches of the night after winning the People’s Choice Award for Citizen Journalist of the Year. #Liberty#America
Democrats hitting Chamber of Commerce Republicans from the right on immigration is a death sentence for these people politically. The one and only issue Republicans won on in the midterms and these Republican traitors want to serve it up to Democrats on a silver platter so they can continue their slave labor racket. You cannot hate these people enough.
