"[NC leaders] must push Duke to invest in an energy future for the whole state, not just big tech companies who may or may not build a data center powered by coal or gas." #nc #cleanenergy https://ncnewsline.com/2026/02/20/duke-is-stymieing-progress-in-nc-stand-up-for-affordability/

The average family lost $1,700 as a result of Trump’s tariffs last year. In fact, tariffs cost the average family roughly two to three times the size of any tax refund they will receive from the “Big Beautiful Bill." #ncpol #tariffs #smallbusiness https://bit.ly/4s8JWfM

Increased funding for schools leads to improved student outcomes, as backed up by over 20yrs of research. These outcomes include higher test scores, higher graduation rates, higher college attendance rates, lower likelihood of poverty, & lower likelihood of incarceration. #ncpol #leandro #school

The NC Supreme Court needs to stop dragging their feet and finally enforce the Leandro ruling. Our state lawmakers have shown they will not fully fund public schools as our constitution requires unless they are made to. Our kids deserve better. #ncpol #leandro #schoolfunding

La herramienta más efectiva para resistir nuevas oficinas y centros de detención de ICE en todo el país ha sido la indignación pública de las comunidades afectadas. #ncpol #iceout #organizar #resistir

Election officials like Dave Boliek are becoming more brazenly partisan. The NC Voter Protection Alliance aims "to provide consistent, year-round voter protection capacity– not just during election cycles, but before, during, & after every election." #nc #ncpol #voting https://ncvpa.org/about.html

Voting early is the easiest and most reliable way to vote in North Carolina. Head down to your local voting site today or tomorrow and shape the future of our state. #ncpol #earlyvoting #primaries

Michael Whatley was handed the reins on Helene recovery over a year ago, and yet western NC is still waiting for almost 90% of the funds they need. Our communities and neighbors deserve better than Whatley. #ncpol #helene

North Carolinians deserve a government that focuses on improving costs and opening doors, not one that arrests or assaults our community members for the color of their skin. #ncpol #iceout https://bit.ly/471ZABv

Auditor Dave Boliek & Elections Director Sam Hayes have both crossed what was once a respected line between election officials and campaigns. “Oversight authority and visible partisan alignment cannot sit comfortably together." #ncpol https://bit.ly/3MRXhdx

Trump will soon give Duke Energy up to $34 million to keep burning coal in Stokes County until 2040. This is a bad move for our wallets and for our lungs. #ncpol #cleanair

In the two years that the North Carolina Supreme Court has made our kids wait, over 19,000 teachers have left. Over 7,000 teaching positions are sitting empty because no one wants to come teach in a state that underpays its teachers this badly. #ncpol #leandro #education #court

AG Jeff Jackson says it's been over 2 months since Kristi Noem was ordered to release FEMA funds to local NC infrastructure projects, but the money still hasn't arrived. #ncpol #jeffjackson #fema https://bit.ly/4aB4DLt

Hundreds of thousands of children would see their lives change with Leandro funding. 370,295 North Carolina teens have spent their high school experience in unconstitutionally underfunded schools since the Court's 2022 Leandro decision. #ncpol #fundourschools https://bit.ly/4s9T18i

From a tulip farmer in Black Mountain to a conservative economist in Raleigh, North Carolinians breathed a sigh of relief as Trump's tariffs were overturned last week. #ncpol https://ncnewsline.com/2026/02/20/nc-businesses-conservatives-celebrate-supreme-court-ruling-striking-down-trump-tariffs/

When leaders like Gov. Stein put the people first and don't let political games get in the way, our communities see real results. #ncpol #ncgov #cleanwater #infrastructure

Michael Whatley dedicated over a decade to serving Big Oil behind closed doors. North Carolina deserves leaders who will prioritize working people over corporate greed. #ncpol

Trump has spent the past year illegally raising our prices and hurting our local small businesses, the Supreme Court confirmed on Friday. #ncpol #smallbusiness #tariffs

For decades, justices from both parties upheld the constitutional duty to provide every child with a sound, basic education. That changed when Republicans took control and reversed long-standing rulings, siding with their political party instead of NC’s children. #ncpol #leandro

It’s been two years since the most recent case has been heard, and the Republican majority on the NC Supreme Court has refused to issue a ruling, meaning that schools, families, and children are still without the funding support they need. #ncpol #education #leandro https://bit.ly/4tHO48h

Los estadounidenses están exigiendo que ICE sea controlada y obligada a seguir la ley. Los demócratas en el Congreso están dando voz a esas demandas básicas en las negociaciones sobre el cierre parcial del gobierno. #ncpol #iceout

With child care costs rising at nearly double the cost of inflation, the need for support will only grow in coming years. But instead of investing in affordability initiatives, the NCGA plans to give another $1 billion in tax breaks to the wealthy & large corporations in 2026. #ncpol #leandro

Nothing has shaken Michael Whatley's support for Trump's tariffs, not even the NC small businesses & customers hurt by them. #ncpol

The Leandro Plan calls for a $445 million increase in the Children With Disabilities allotment. This would mean more teachers, therapists, and psychologists in our schools, as well as specialized curriculum in the classroom to better support students with disabilities. #ncpol

“I’m going to make that a guiding star when I get to the United States Senate in addition to the fact that stuff just costs too much for people right now,” said Roy Cooper while meeting with Brunswick County locals. #ncpol #affordablehealthcare

Gov. Stein has proposed a 10% raise for teachers, but without a budget, NCGA Republicans are continuing to underpay the educators who do so much to support our students and communities. #ncpol #fundourschools #teacherpay

“These grants not only rebuild and restore the French Broad River Basin but also help protect the surrounding communities so generations of North Carolinians can live in safety,” said Stein. #ncpol https://bit.ly/4tBPO2I

Rev. Jackson's civil rights journey began as a college student in Greensboro, NC. That journey would change the face of America, from the workplace to the voter rolls, for the following 65 years. His legacy lives on. #KeepHopeAlive https://bit.ly/3Ok7f7P

This Presidents Day, let us remember what a president or administration should never be allowed to become. There should be no power that is without check. Our founders knew that independent branches and departments were vital to preventing tyranny. #ncpol #presidentsday #nokings

In another attempt at voter suppression, Republicans are pushing the SAVE Act-- a bill that would make voting harder for 69 million women who took their spouse's name. #ncpol apnews.com/article/hous...

The EPA has now thrown out the "endangerment finding" that underpins most emissions regulations. This rejection of the facts puts an estimated 58,000 lives at risk in order to make wealthy companies an extra buck. #ncpol #cleanair

Stonewall sparked a movement built on equality, dignity, and community. This week, Trump took away a flag but he can't take away the belonging that the LGBTQ+ community holds claim to. #prideflag #stonewall #wearestillhere https://bit.ly/4rgSDVx

While Trump & the GOP push to weaken restrictions on dangerous chemicals like the PFAS contaminating so much water & soil in NC, we remember our history. Black NC farmers, protesting chemical dumping in their soil, sparked a movement that lives on today. #ncpol #blackhistory

NC needs leaders to stop rising prices, not throw their hands up. Yesterday the US House voted on whether to fully surrender their authority over tariffs to Trump. Thankfully, it failed. But not a single one of North Carolina's 10 GOP House members voted "No." #ncpol #tariffs

The Republican-led General Assembly is expected to give $675 million to private schools next fiscal year through the voucher program. NC ranks 50th in funding per student, but lawmakers are trying to hand over even more of the budget with no oversight. #ncpol #FundOurSchools
