"So many people in Washington just want to be something. I want to do something." It is so refreshing to hear a candidate focused on practical ways to make life easier and better for working people! #ncpol #midterms

Last night, Roy Cooper talked with Rachel Maddow about what made him decide to run for Senate after years of commitment as a state level leader in North Carolina. #ncpol #midterms

The National Homelessness Law Center is concerned that this order "will expand the use of police & institutionalization, prioritize funding for states that treat homelessness as a crime, and cut funding for programs that have proven to save lives." #ncpol

Roy Cooper may have just set a record for the most donations received in the first 24 hours of a Senate campaign. 95% of the donations came from grassroots supporters giving less than $100 each. #ncpol #midterms.

"North Carolinians deserve better. We deserve courts that are fair, independent, and accountable to the people, not to partisan operatives or corporate wealthy donors." #ncpol #nccourts

Roy Cooper was the governor who finally got NC Medicaid expansion across the finish line, insuring over 600K people in the state. In the fight to save Medicaid, NC needs someone with a proven record of being on our side. #ncpol

Gov. Stein vetoed a bill that would have left North Carolinians on the hook for billions by letting Duke Energy shirk their emission responsibilities. This week, NC Republicans are trying to override that veto to do it anyway. #ncpol #ncgov

"Friday’s announcement comes as Duke faces threats to its finances as the Trump administration has made major cuts to research funding and implemented policies affecting other university operations." #ncpol #duke

ICE is being ordered to target non-criminal, non-violent immigrants. Trump's new arrest quota could make this problem even worse. #ncpol

Rather than passing a budget, NC Republicans are devoting their week to legislation that would flood schools with guns and end concealed carry permits. Call your legislators and encourage them to uphold Gov. Stein’s vetoes of these dangerous bills! #ncpol #ncgov #veto

"For too many Americans, the middle class feels like a distant dream. Meanwhile, the biggest corporations and the richest Americans have grabbed unimaginable wealth at your expense. It's time for that to change." Roy Cooper is running to represent NC in the US Senate. #ncpol

“If this plan moves forward, it will not only result in a serious violation of the privacy of the millions of Americans who rely on Medicaid, but it will also prevent people from accessing the emergency care they need,” said U.S. Rep. Deborah Ross. #ncpol

The MAGA budget slashes SNAP, the food assistance program that feeds over 600,000 children in our state. It cuts Medicaid & CHIP, the health insurance programs that serve over 1.4 million NC kids. It even cuts funding for struggling public schools. #ncpol.

Republicans in Congress just set up millions of Americans for a nasty shock. Starting in January, they will have to pay WAY more in insurance premiums because Republicans refused to extend Biden's ACA tax credits in the MAGA Budget. #ncpol #biguglybill

You may have heard that Michael Whatley is the Republican running for Thom Tillis' seat in the Senate next year. But who the heck is Michael Whatley? Here are a few things to know about him. #ncpol #senate #midterms

MAGA's budget not only cuts Medicaid, it spikes insurance costs for the entire ACA Marketplace. Right here in NC, we're looking at a 102% increase as soon as next year. #ncpol #biguglybill

Gov. Stein announced that projects to improve NC drinking water & wastewater infrastructure will receive $204 million. The money will "address PFAS & other forever chemicals, identify & replace lead pipes, & improve resiliency after future storms." #ncpol

Tysen Moy, a veteran & law student, talked about the risk of throwing out service member ballots. “I didn’t bring my driver’s license with me to Iraq, and you’re not allowed by law to make a scan of a military ID. What would I have done?” he asked. #ncpol.

The massive expansion of ICE and the cruel arrests of hard-working members of our communities not only hurts individuals and families, it hurts the entire state. #ncpol

The Food Bank of Central & Eastern NC has been warning everyone for months that cutting SNAP would be devastating to the many communities they serve. They're now asking state lawmakers to step in and protect North Carolinians. #ncpol #SNAP #biguglybill
