Las facturas de electricidad en Carolina del Norte ya son demasiado altas, pero Duke Energy quiere aumentarlas otra vez. Desliza para ver cuándo será la audiencia pública en tu área, donde la gente tendrá la oportunidad de decir: “ya es suficiente.” #nc #noalosaumentos

Today, the Republican-led State Board of Elections passed a plan to upload voter information (names, birth date, and the last 4 digits of SSNs) into a federal database tool. In other states it has been shown to falsely label people as non-citizens. #ncpol #breakingnews #votingrights

Last year, Republicans cut funding for everything from affordable health care to food assistance– all so that billionaires & corporations can rake in billions in tax breaks. Working families pay our fair share but our government does less for us than ever before. #ncpol #TaxDayReality #FairShareNow

The NCGA is back in session next week– and they still haven’t passed a budget for 2025. Call your legislators and tell them to pass a budget that pays our teachers, protects Medicaid, and makes corporations pay their fair share. #ncpol #TaxDayReality #FundOurFuture #FairShareNow

The bad policies of former DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and the absenteeism of Recovery Czar Michael Whatley left many in western NC feeling abandoned, wondering if federal help would ever come. Local & state leaders haven't given up. #ncpol #helene #fema https://bit.ly/4tdNbU6

Trump’s tariffs are the biggest tax increase on Americans in decades. They cost NC households between $800 and $1300 last year. That money could’ve gone to rent, groceries, or gas. Washington needs to worry less about a ballroom and more about lowering our costs. #ncpol #taxdayreality

While North Carolinians see their electric bills climb higher than ever, Duke Energy rakes in record profits... and they still want more. We showed one Durham resident how much of her bill was pure profit for Duke Energy. #ncpol #no2ratehikes #bills https://www.youtube.com/shorts/XwxrOo1Rt5E

The Southern Environmental Law Center says the EPA’s plan grants the wishes of Duke Energy and other electric utilities at the risk of the safety of drinking water near and downstream from coal ash deposits. #ncpol #coalash https://www.newsobserver.com/news/politics-government/article315370379.html

NC Treasurer Brad Briner is expanding his office's use of Chat GPT and a few other models. State employees are asking for specifics of how it will be used and how they will be impacted. #ncpol #news https://ncnewsline.com/2026/04/13/the-nc-treasurers-office-expands-use-of-ai-throughout-the-agency/

The national institutes that study heart disease, lung disease, diabetes, kidney disease, infectious diseases, strokes, & neurological disorders, as well as aging and childhood development would all lose 7-27% of their funding under Trump's proposed budget. #ncpol #NIH #health

A law that Gov. Stein tried to block last year has opened the door to these rate hikes. We're being told to pay Duke Energy for things they haven't provided yet while they make record profits. #ncpol https://www.wunc.org/politics/2026-04-10/duke-energy-electric-rate-increase-nc-utilities-commission

In Feb., Trump order that the Pride Flag be removed from the Stonewall monument as part of his attack against preserving American history. Today, non-profits won as a settlement filed in court guaranteed that the flag will be permanently allowed to remain. #lgbtq #pride #goodnews

This ruling was tough news for folks across our state. But advocates aren’t giving up, and they won’t give up until public schools receive the funding they need to fully support our students. #ncpol #leandro #whatyoucando #nccourt https://bit.ly/3QhyyAB

Justice Paul Newby just finished stomping on the right to a sound, basic education. Now the NCGOP wants to effectively give him the power to punish lawyers who call out his bias or go up against Republican lawmakers. #ncpol #faircourts #corruption https://bit.ly/4mk4IaC

We asked Letaeja from @blackvotersmatterfund.org to take a look at how much of her electric bill was going directly into Duke Energy's pocket. "People need to know this... that's crazy." #ncpol #no2ratehikes #electricbill https://www.youtube.com/shorts/rSehZUYPpKA

You already see plenty of AI images finding their way into your social media feed, and we've even seen fake AI clips being used in NC campaign ads. But sometimes it's not only the image that's fake, it's the "person" that posted it. #ncpol #tips https://bit.ly/3OlzGCy

When the NCGA overturned Stein's SB266 veto, he warned it would lead to higher power bills & put North Carolinians on the hook for data center costs. With Duke Energy now pushing for an 18% rate hike, NC needs leaders to stand up to corporate greed more than ever. #ncpol #ncgov

@carolinaforward.bsky.social and Resource Rural filmed a documentary on how a uniquely successful NC health program ran out of funding last year when the General Assembly failed to pass a budget. "The Root of Good Health" premieres this month. #nc #health #documentary https://bit.ly/4vg09lE

Helene Recovery Czar, Michael Whatley, joined GOP lawmakers in patting themselves on the back this week in western NC. The occasion? Trump's new DHS Secretary backtracked on a harmful FEMA policy that Whatley & crew once praised his predecessor for. #ncpol https://bit.ly/4ve8oPn

Of the fifty-six rural hospitals in North Carolina, nine are at risk of closing because of federal Medicaid cuts. State lawmakers can help in limiting the damage, but so far haven't even passed a state budget. #ncpol #medicaid #ruralhospitals https://bit.ly/4voqoGW

The President chose to put our nation at war with Iran without clear objectives or an exit strategy. It’s costing taxpayers tens of billions of dollars and North Carolinians far too much at the pump...

“This is one of the toughest times I’ve seen in agriculture... Even if the war ended today, by the time the fuel price came down, they would already have had to put this crop in the field, so it’s caught us at the worst time...” #nc #ncpol https://bit.ly/3PNiKFJ

Are you one of the many North Carolinians who are furious about Duke Energy asking for another rate hike but who can't make the drive to your nearest public hearing? Tonight is your chance to still take part by joining a virtual hearing #nc #no2ratehikes https://bit.ly/4cvjQ1v

The NC Supreme Court and General Assembly, both controlled by Republicans, have done worse than simply fail North Carolina's children. They have willfully abandoned them for political gain. #ncpol #ncga #sconc #leandro @ncmegaphone.bsky.social

Today, the crew of Artemis II (including NC's Christina Koch) traveled farther from Earth than anyone in history. While the rest of us celebrated with them, Trump pressed Congress to slash 23% of NASA's funding. #artemis #nasa #ncpol

The North Carolina Association of Educators expressed outrage and disgust at the Newby-Berger Court for dismissing Leandro and abandoning its duty to our children. They pointed out the recent bottom ranking for education funding NC received. #ncpol #leandro

Since 2020, Duke Energy has raised your bill by 22%. They don’t need to be doing this– Duke Energy made $5 billion in profit last year. But as if that weren’t enough, they’re now asking state leaders to raise your bill AGAIN– this time by another 18%. #nc #ncpol #no2ratehikes https://bit.ly/4c1MqGh

Call the NC Utilities Commission at 919-733-7328 and tell them they must rein in Duke Energy’s greed and stop this rate hike! Hardworking NC families deserve better. #ncpol #no2ratehikes @nclcv.bsky.social#ncpol

NC's Constitution requires that children, regardless of county, have access to a sound, basic, and uniform education so they get the best start in life. The Court has abandoned its responsibility to hold the legislature accountable & its responsibility to uphold our Constitution. #ncpol #leandro

The Newby-Berger Court has made it clear: they will not do their jobs, will not put the Constitution first, will not ensure NC's rural children have the strong start they need to succeed. North Carolinians must take back control over our Court. #ncpol #leandro #faircourts #fundNCschools

Your zip code shouldn't determine your child's opportunity to succeed. NC's Constitution guarantees EVERY North Carolina child a sound basic education. But the NC Supreme Court GOP majority would rather play politics with our lives than stand up for our rights. #ncpol #leandro

While Trump hits North Carolina's economy from the outside, Duke Energy & NC Republican lawmakers hit us from within. More rate hikes would cost us all money we can't spare, and last year's SB 266 cost us thousands of jobs & billions in investments. #ncpol #energy @ross.house.gov @nclcv.bsky.social#ncpol

Christina Koch already took part in the first all-female spacewalk & set a record with her 328 day spaceflight. It's been a long journey from Onslow County to the dark side of the moon, and she's proven to so many that the sky is not the limit after all. #nc #nasa

While families are paying more at the grocery store and the gas pump, Michael Whatley supports tariffs that drive prices higher for North Carolina consumers and farmers. #DontBeFooled #ncpol #carenc

North Carolina communities are still rebuilding from Hurricane Helene, yet only a fraction of federal funding has arrived. As Trump’s appointed “recovery czar,” Michael Whatley has been largely absent when it matters most. #DontBeFooled #ncpol #carenc

Duke Energy is trying to raise prices again, even as they announce record profits. Sen. Jay Chaudhuri spoke with us before the first of ten public hearings where North Carolinians can tell the Utilities Commission to say no to rate hikes that no one can afford. #ncpol #no2ratehikes

Money is tight for most of us, but not for Duke Energy. Thanks to buying lawmaker loyalty, taking a bigger cut every year, and polluting in the name of profit they’re making more money than ever. They’re asking for more, but this time, NC is taking a stand. #nc #no2ratehikes @nclcv.bsky.social#nc

A $10 haircut isn't easy to find, but one NC barber found a way to keep costs low by going mobile. As diesel hits over $5.40/gal, Ja'Derrio White has had to raise prices and lose loyal customers.

Electric bills are higher than ever, but Duke Energy is asking for more. The good news is that you have a chance to make the NC Utilities Commission understand that we can’t afford to be squeezed any harder. Swipe to see when your area’s public hearing will be. #nc #no2ratehikes @nclcv.bsky.social#nc

Medicaid expansion has proven to be a life-changing policy for North Carolinians. During an era where costs are rising everywhere– gas, groceries, electricity, you name it– having access to affordable health care is huge. #ncpol #medicaid #northcarolina https://bit.ly/4rX7fZC

You probably know someone whose life was changed by Medicaid expansion. Children and grandparents, Democrats and Republicans, urban and rural – we’ve all benefited. Now, we must all fight to preserve that progress. #ncpol #MedicaidExpansion #ProtectHealthcare

Congress cut almost $1 trillion from Medicaid, a program that many expectant mothers rely on for health care. Washington has somehow found hundreds of billions for bombs and luxury jets but can’t find the money to allow pregnant women to visit the doctor.

Duke Energy wants you to think they’re raising your bill to keep the lights on. The truth is, it's so their investors can keep making record profits. While the rest of us tighten our budgets, Duke Energy gets richer than ever. #nc #no2ratehikes @nclcv.bsky.social#nc#no2ratehikeshttps://bit.ly/4sztWEg

Did you know that most tribal IDs, don't meet the SAVE Act's voter registration requirements? Neither do most state IDs or even military IDs. The GOP can't win when fairly so they're trying to prevent as many votes as possible. Call your senators today. #ncpol #votingrights #stoptheSAVEact
