Robocalls are out of control. North Carolina gets 200 million a month. Most are illegal scams. I'm changing our tactics to hit back harder, as 37 companies are finding out today. Here’s how:

Breaking: The court just ruled that the federal government can’t spend North Carolina’s $200m in disaster preparedness money elsewhere while our lawsuit against FEMA plays out. FEMA broke the law when it cut these millions that our communities were using to repair water and.

A federal agency - which controls an enormous amount of money - is breaking the law to hide its decisions from you and avoid accountability. Hey OMB, see you in court.

Roy Cooper has dedicated his life to public service. His integrity, decency, and common sense will serve North Carolina well in DC. Proud to support him.

Breaking: The Department of Education has reversed course and is releasing all frozen funds – $6.8b nationally, $165m for North Carolina – after we filed suit last week. This ends weeks of uncertainty. Our schools can now plan and hire for a strong year ahead. My absolute best.

Fergie dedicated his life to fighting for the vulnerable – children, the wrongly convicted, and the mistreated. We have a responsibility to uphold his legacy in the law and society. Marisa and I are sending our love to his children.

James Ferguson’s passing is a major loss for our state and the legal community. He was a civil rights leader who built a life and career on the fight for justice. The cases he fought and won made our schools, workplaces, and justice system fairer and more equal. 1/2.

Good news:. The Ed Department says it's giving states the after-school funding it unlawfully froze. That’s about $36m of the $165m in education funding they froze for NC. We'll see them in court for the rest.

My thanks to the 10 Republican senators who just asked the federal government to unfreeze billions in education funding. They echo the case I’m making in court: that Congress created these programs, approved the plans, and now the funds must go to the schools and students.

Breaking: We have filed suit against U.S. Department of Education for unlawfully withholding $165m in education funding for NC. This is congressionally-approved funding they cannot withhold. If not reversed, it could mean layoffs for nearly 1,000 educators in NC.

As central NC recovers from extreme flooding and devastation, people are looking for ways to help their neighbors. I've been in touch with law enforcement to offer support and my office will be sharing more information to help prevent charity scams and other disaster scams. But.

Update: The CMPD officer who was shot on duty this morning is in stable condition and the suspect is in custody. I’ve been in touch with Chief Jennings to offer our office’s support and gratitude for the officers who put themselves in danger to keep us safe.

July 4th bike ride with Avery. She says, "In the 1980's, did they have brakes on their bikes or did they have to stop with their feet?". I said, "We had brakes.". Her: "How do you know?". Me: "Because I was alive then.". Her: "YOU were alive in the 1980's?!?!". Me: "Yes.". Her:

The AI moratorium would have locked states into 10 years of doing nothing to protect people from the harmful uses of AI. I'm grateful that 99 senators voted to remove the AI ban from the bill so we can still build safeguards to protect kids and consumers.

My thoughts are with the loved ones and colleagues of Cherokee County Deputy Francisco Paul Flattes, who was killed in the line of duty earlier today. I’m grateful to the North Carolina State Highway Patrol, the SBI, and western NC law enforcement for acting quickly to get the.

I respect Senator Tillis’s decision to end his career in the Senate when he felt the time was right. I also appreciate that he was willing to vote against last night’s budget bill - even though it ran against his political interests - because it would cause serious and lasting.

Because we took action to defend the Constitution, North Carolinians still have their 14th Amendment right to full citizenship. While this case has been sent back to a lower court for review, our position remains unchanged. The language of the 14th Amendment is clear, and we are.
