Yes, the Hometown Holler focuses on NC issues, but today our HOMETOWN HERO is Gary Miller of Danville, VA, the city on the state line north of Caswell County. Dr. Miller exemplifies good governance AND gives a free lesson for every change-maker in every state: Have real principles. Fight for 'em.

this legitimately made me tear up. a tremendous public servant!

There’s a vanishingly small chance that we *could* be biased somehow (yep, we know that sounds like crazy talk)… …but we reckon this is the best post of 2026.

This bill WAS about creating strict rules on the impacts of data centers on North Carolinians. Why does it suddenly include a section that delays closing old coal plants by over a decade? Ask Republican lawmakers in the NCGA. #ncpol #ncga https://bit.ly/4x2m4xE

Anyway, I’ve got the same drum I’ve always had. No way forward without forgetting the way back. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/03/o...

Beautiful song. Honest lyrics. A whole lot of heart. One of them songs that stick with ya! Much love to our buddy Drew Foust for stopping by and letting us record some original music. Give it a listen & don't forget to like and share. Oh and @milobaynes.bsky.social with the audio mastering!

Hundreds packed the Bladen Co. Commission meeting in Elizabethtown, NC tonight when commissioners threatened to alter districts in ways that would harm Black voters. The commissioner looked around and said, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." This is what democracy looks like. #AllRoadsLeadtotheSouth

YES. THEY. DO. Judicial races matter and we have races on the ballot in November 2026! DO NOT IGNORE JUDICIAL RACES! #judicialracesmatter

Your county government will face a big challenge this October when Trump pushes SNAP administrative costs onto them. While some NC lawmakers are trying to hamstring their ability to gather funds, others are trying to help shoulder the burden. #ncpol #SNAP cardinalpine.com/news/politic...

A pound of ground beef is more than the federal minimum wage. Read that again.

Holy smokes… “the calorie standard”? The calorie standard. THE CALORIE STANDARD

NC Republicans are trying to lock harmful policies into our Constitution, making it harder to fund schools, emergency services, and communities for decades to come. These amendments protect corporate power. Read more: https://carolinaforward.org/blog/bad-constitutional-amendments/

Starting to think those Trump campaign signs weren't telling the truth about... ...anything at all. Weird, huh?

Director of the NC Budget & Tax Center, Alexandra Sirota, sat down with a journalist to discuss the ways hardworking North Carolina families will pay the price if amendments pass in November. #ncpol #taxes #localgovernment https://bit.ly/3PFkHEs

Today in front of the NC General Assembly, at a rally opposing ICE detention centers. #ncpol

To those who served and lost their lives, we will not forget. Remember and honor the fallen. #MemorialDay

There’s going to be a point where the country is two camps: those who don’t bet or gamble or anthromorphize AI and everybody else.

Just in: NC's GOP Senate nominee Michael Whatley says he'd support Trump's 'anti-weaponization' fund, while Sen. Tillis called it "stupid on stilts." #ncpol

One of the very, very, VERY RARE occasions in which we actually believe his obnoxious face-noises...

How do you get Republican voters to the polls in a difficult political climate? Republican lawmakers in North Carolina are hoping a slate of up to seven constitutional amendments might do the trick. ncnewsline.com/2026/05/19/a... #ncpol @lauraleslie.bsky.social

This week, our lawmakers are considering enshrining so-called “right-to-work” (RTW) laws in North Carolina’s Constitution, with Senate Bill 1082. #ncpol 1/12

A true fact about Trump's stock trading- I ran the numbers and Trump traded up to ~$700 million in stock in Q1 of 2026. All 535 Members of Congress made a total of ~$635 million worth of trades in 2025. So Trump bought and sold more stock in 3 months than all of Congress put together did last year

Tomorrow, y’all. Wednesday 5/20 at 6:30pm Somewhere near you, @ncdp.org is holding an event to talk about justice and the importance of judicial elections. Find the one near you and show up! And if “near you” means Caswell County? Well, we’ve got you covered! All the details are here:

NC Republicans have a deal on the long-delayed state budget. Avg. raise of 8% for teachers & 3% for state employers. Lowers personal income tax rate to 3.49% in 2027 but corporate tax rate wouldn't go down next year. (Via @dawnbvaughan.bsky.social) www.newsobserver.com/news/politic... #ncpol #nced

North Carolina lawmakers are revisiting bills that would ban certain foreign groups from purchasing farmland in the state. ncnewsline.com/2026/05/12/n... By @christinezhu.bsky.social #ncpol

We’re getting there.

When we took office, NYC had a $12B deficit. Today it’s zero. And we didn’t close that gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets, & public housing. Call it Pothole Politics or Democratic Socialism: We are government that delivers for the people.

when social liberals argue anything, it's reframed as "scolding" we're *disagreeing*, just like our opponents disagree with us. that's what this whole politics thing is

NEW: North Carolina’s top Republicans have reached an agreement on key budget sticking points, including lower taxes and teacher pay, but still have some policy disagreements to continue working out.

I know I say it a lot, but ICE is present nearly every day in my area of Massachusetts. The only difference from a year ago is they're primarily focusing on abducting people in courthouses, out of view of the public. No big show of force, but the same fear and abuse.
