NC's unhinged gun lobby is upset that SB50 (permitless conceal carry) doesn't allow conceal carry while drinking alcohol or on our college campuses. The same group also advocates for the deregulation of silencers and disbanding the ATF. This is not what responsible gun ownership looks like. #ncpol

For all of their talk about protecting victims of domestic violence, Senate Republicans today rejected an amendment to their gun bill that would bar domestic abusers from getting a conceal carry. Donβt listen to what they say - watch what they do. #ncpol #ncga

North Carolinians support responsible gun ownership. But there is nothing responsible about allowing a teenager to conceal carry without any training or instruction. This bill is lazy and cynical, risking innocent lives in order to pander to the most fringe elements of the far right. #ncpol

My friends at Neighbors on Call and County to County have teamed up! It's like 2 mini lion bots coming together to form one super-bot. #Voltron Together this amazing team knocked 660 doors in Granville for me and @cohnnc.com on Saturday - 660 doors and it's still only March! #ncpol

With all of the cruelty currently coming from the far right, itβs important to remember - they are painfully weak and so very sensitive.

Today I introduced SB103 - Make NC School Calendars Great Again (or "MNCSCGA" for those who are so inclined). Local calendars should be left to parents and their locally elected school boards, not lobbyists and politicians living in other counties. #ncpol #ncga ncleg.gov/BillLookUp/2...

NC Senate looks to cut healthcare costs by reducing insurance mandates
The state Senate is considering a bill this week that would restrict government mandates for health insurance plans.
This bill does absolutely nothing to lower healthcare costs. It does, however, provide future GOP legislatures the excuse to roll back contraceptive care. NC women have suffered enough under this legislature - that's why I voted "no" on S24. #ncga #ncpol

RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free worldβall while cynically waving the American flag.

How the N.C. Legislature Bankrolls Anti-Abortion Centers
Over the past three years, the state legislature has given $30 million to crisis pregnancy centers, with little oversight or outcomes.
Another money laundering scheme for #NCGA Republican leadership to funnel more of our tax dollars back into their own pockets and the pockets of their cronies. The reason for the lack of transparency and oversight is simple - they are stealing your money. #ncpol
