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

When power bills go up in North Carolina, remember this vote - Climate 411 The North Carolina General Assembly’s vote to override Governor Stein’s veto of Senate Bill 266 is a major setback for North Carolina households, clean energy progress and climate leadership. Despite ...

Just keep this as a reminder

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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

A Conversation with Dr. Chris Cooper on Partisanship, Power Grabs, and Purple State Politics This Memorial Day, we sat down with Dr.

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.
