🛎️ Medicaid helps families by covering long term health care for older adults and people with disabilities– including nursing and home care. 😱 Without Medicaid, this kind of care is not affordable to most North Carolinians. And what’s left of NC’s rural hospitals would be forced to close.

If you think NC deserves Trump’s callous refusal of additional hurricane recovery assistance, let us remind you that we elected a Dem Gov, 2.7 mil people in NC voted for Harris (48%), and 100% of the people here and across the country deserve *better* from their government in a time of crisis. 💙

For your next “take action” focus, we can recommend this advice - tell your Senators to vote “no” on the SAVE act, and then we all need to focus on this dangerous, disastrous budget process. ⬇️

The headline should be: NC Democrats introduced a measure that would protect voters and block a new GOP strategy that tries to throw out ballots post-election, to reverse their election losses.

This is why *everyone* should care about climate change deniers. Even if you don’t care about the Earth, you probably care about your wallet. And deniers are going to cost you a LOT of money in the coming years. #ncpol

🛎️ We’d like to remind folks that Real IDs are not and have never been mandatory except “to board commercial flights and enter secure federal buildings.​“ 🤨 So please don’t shrug off the real implications of the SAVE Act by telling people they had to have a Real ID anyway.

Democrats delivered. NC Democrats fought to expand Medicaid for YEARS! Even after finally joining with us to pass it, the NC GOP may not lift a finger to protect it here. Losing healthcare coverage means more sickness, more disease, and even death. North Carolinians deserve better.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said he will revoke all visas held by South Sudanese passport holders. What does this mean for Duke’s Khaman Maluach? www.newsobserver.com/sports/colle...

The answer from the Trump-Musk regime always seems to be “this is what Trump wants.” And they don’t understand why any of us are “confused” that there isn’t more to say.
