Ahhh yes. Anyway, where are the Epstein files?

I’m surprised Witkoff managed to get that sentence out with how much he’s choking on Trump’s c- Hold on I’m being told by our advisors to not finish the previous sentence

Earlier today we wrapped up a great episode (that bridges multiple state lines) w/ TX State Rep. Trey Martinez Fischer @tmftx.bsky.social about what's been going on in TX and how NC can help. Go to OneTexas.org to help the TX Dems fight back against this attack on our democracy. #ncpol #txpol

Thank you @leftofoldnorth.bsky.social for having me on your podcast. I enjoyed the opportunity to dive into what its been like to represent and invest in rural Eastern North Carolina. #ncpol #LeftofOldNorth #HD27 youtu.be/uGMV6osVe0s?...

🚨 New Ep Out Now! 🚨 Watch or listen to Rep. Rodney Pierce (NC HD-27) @pierce4nchouse.bsky.social about living through history, holding the line in the General Assembly, and why Dems can’t afford to ignore the 252. 🎧 Listen/watch here: youtu.be/uGMV6osVe0s #leftofoldnorth #ncpolitics #ncga #ncpol

ROY COOPER IS LEADING in the first first poll for the #ussenate seat up for grabs here in North Carolina. The GOP is going to have to try a lot harder to beat Cooper statewide. #ncpol #ncpolitics #ncdemocrats

Carla Cunningham was the one vote Republicans needed to overturn Governor Josh Stein's veto on a bill that allowed ICE even more power in our state. Looks like we've got another DINO #democratinnameonly that we need to primary next year. Mecklenburg seems to have a fake Democrat problem. #ncpol

🚨 JUST DROPPED: Our interview with Chuck Hubbard @chuck.hubbardforcongress.com , the Democrat running in NC-5. We talk rural WNC, why Virginia Foxx has got to go, and what it takes to fight back in deep-red districts. 🎧 Listen now: youtu.be/RJZisn6ysOc #ncpol #firefoxx #nc05 #wncpolitics

Uvalde is everywhere. And people wonder why parents don't trust SROs and POs to save their kids.

Lol nothing's gonna stop the Royride

We’re at the @ncdemocrats.bsky.social Unity Dinner Fmr. Gov Roy Cooper: “Everybody who is running next year please stand up….. Well I’m not sitting down am I?” #ncdems #leftofoldnorth #ncpol #senate #cooperforsenate

Now that Roy Cooper has announced, Wiley Nickel has bounced. He's going to be running for Wake County DA, and this clears the field for Roy Cooper to run for Thom Tillis's old US Senate seat. #ncpol #roycooper

Looks like former NC Gov #roycooper is getting set to throw his hat in the ring for US Senate. Axios is reporting that he’ll be announcing next week, though I think he might announce at the #ncdp Unity Dinner. We’ll see. Exciting times. #ncpol #fyp #leftofoldnorth #dems #ncdems #midterms #ussenate

The #GOP knows that the “Big Beautiful Bill” will hurt millions of Americans. So what do they do? They try to delay the effects of it until AFTER the midterms.They’ll try and hide this as much as they b/c they know how unpopular it is. #leftofoldnorth #ncpol #dems #dnc #budget #midterms #politics

We're inspired by @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and his historic victory in NYC. Now's the time to take notes and learn from this for the good of North Carolina. Read about it here >> open.substack.com/pub/leftofol... #ncpol #progressive #ZohranMamdani

If I had a nickel for every time a Republican president got us into a pointless war in the Middle East during the 21st century using nonexistent WMDS as justification I’d have two nickels which isn’t a lot but ITS SO FUCKING DUMB THAT IT HAPPENED TWICE RIGHT?

Pride Month in North Carolina Means Fighting Back. Every. Damn. Year. Our latest episode dives into the latest anti-LGBTQ+ bills in North Carolina — and how the NCGA is also trying to criminalize voter registration drives. 🎙️ Listen now. #ncpol #LGBTQRights #Pride2025 youtu.be/RuzkeX5Rm2w

The members of the NCGA don’t make nearly as much as people think. Just a little under $14,000. What they do make is very much a barrier to everyday people being able to run for office. The people of NC deserve full time legislators and full time representation. #ncga #ncpol #leftofoldnorth #ncdp

Republicans are not unfamiliar with what's in their bills. they're very dangerously aware. #politics #uspolitics #politicstiktok #politicstok #democrats #republicans #project2025 #trump #ncpol

The #ncgop in the #ncga know they can’t win based on policy. So what do they do? Their favorite pastime, make a power grab. Transferring power over the Board of Elections from the Governor to the State Auditor is just another way to cut the margins of our democracy. #ncpol #ncdems #ncdp #vote

This week we talked to WCU professor @chriscooperwcu.bsky.social about #ncpol and he echoed some of our same concerns about what the #griffinvriggs case did to people’s faith in our election system. #ncpol #leftofoldnorth #ncdems #fyp #ncdp #congress #ncsupremecourt #jeffersongriffin #allisonriggs

We sat down with @chriscooperwcu.bsky.social - one of the sharpest voices in #ncpol - to talk about his book, "Anatomy of a Purple State", unaffiliated voters, and why certain races in 2026/2028 will be extremely important. This is a must-listen! leftofoldnorth.substack.com/p/a-conversa...

There was too much to talk about. We had to upload a bonus episode, and it's dropping today at 4 EST. We talk about the Big Stupid Bill, the awful NC Budget, We even call our Senators, and much much more. Tune in to watch live: youtu.be/bABgm12ORI0 #ncpol #thomtillis #tedbudd #ncga

Knowing NC troopers, we'll never see them enroll until they're pulling us over

This isn't just stupid, it's malicious. "To be able to remove people from this country" is a clear indicator that her department and this administration fully intend to keep detaining and deporting CITIZENS. CITIZENS. 🗣️📢 AMERICAN CITIZENS

Hey y’all! No new episode this week due to illness. But, we’ve got two great episodes we’re recording over the next few days and we can’t wait for you to hear them!

The #ncsupremecourt race may FINALLY BE OVER. Jefferson Griffin is now a certified 4x loser. Let's hope this one sticks or... is he gonna go for the record!?! #ncpol #ncpolitics #alisonriggs #northcarolina #liberal #democrats #ncdemocrats

Just dropped a 🔥 new episode with @chazbeasley.bsky.social — former NC Rep + 2020 Lt. Gov candidate. We talked the #ncga, lessons learned, and why Democrats need to fight smarter in the South. 🎧 Listen wherever you get your podcasts linktr.ee/leftofoldnorth #ncpol #ncpolitics #podcast

I love the smell of primaries in the morning. #ncpol #ncdemocrats

Can pretty much guarantee you they were all Republicans. It only took them a few days to overturn this ruling. Republicans will weaponize the courts any chance they get. Always remember that. #ncpol

I know another smug, hateful little nerd whose party needs to lose an election:

Don't miss the premiere of our first video in a new series "From the Gallery" covering the goings-on of the #NCGA. This video is about what happens when Democrats fail to show up when it matters most. #ncpol #ncpolitics #cecilbrockman #sb382 #ncdemocrats www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAiv...

Only in North Carolina, y’all. Republican commissioners in Cabarrus County just tried to appoint a new member before the seat was even vacant. Yeah — they skipped public input, bent their own rules, and voted to install their pick while the old commissioner was still in office. #ncpol

While @davidhogg.bsky.social 's proposal isn't the most fleshed out, the fact that this is what the #democrats leadership is busy focusing on signals that they want to continue being toothless. The notion of neutrality among the leadership is laughable. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...
