🧵 Did your Representative vote for the Medicaid cuts in the MAGA Budget? Take a look at how many people in your district use Medicaid. Putting billionaires over the people you're supposed to represent is shameful. #ncpol #biguglybill #medicaid

They're taking an axe to supports & safety nets for the working class in order to give handouts to billionaires and pay for Trump's vanity projects. #ncpol #biguglybill

The damage to healthcare coverage that Trump & Tillis would cause with the Big Ugly Bill would hurt everyone, not just the millions who use Medicaid. A thread. #ncpol #biguglybill #medicaid #medicare #ACA #insurance

Between Trump flip-flopping on when his super-high tariffs will start and courts finding some of them unconstitutional altogether, a lot of North Carolinians are stuck in limbo wondering what their economic futures will be. #ncpol #tariffs

Republicans like Thom Tillis are helping the rich get richer at the expense of everyday North Carolinians. Join us on May 6 at 10 am in Bicentennial Plaza to demand better. #ncpol #DockTheGreed #timetotossTillis progressnc.actionkit.com/survey/dock-greed-rally-oxfam-america/

Several hundred attend townhall directed at cardboard cutout of Sen. Thom Tillis It was called an Empty Chair Town Hall, and featured a cardboard cutout of Tillis on stage

A ton of people are attending town halls to express their concerns with Trump's severe budget cuts. Unfortunately, Thom Tillis isn't one of them. #ncpol #timetotossTillis www.wbtv.com/2025/04/25/s...

He hit us with severe tariffs, then paused them. He terminated visas, then reinstated them. We still have a long way to go, but remember that your advocacy, your attention – it works. When enough people speak out, he retreats. #ncpol

NC climate center reopens following funding lapse from Trump administration “Numerous media stories came out due to our shutdown, as people could not access our resources,” the center’s director said. “Apparently word reached some influential people on the Hill.”

Climate centers help ensure we have clean air and healthy food on the table. They were on Trump's chopping block, but thankfully, they're safe because of the advocacy of people like you. #ncpol www.newsobserver.com/news/politic...

We want to uplift this constituent-led town hall in Shelby, NC. Rep. Tim Moore has been invited to answer questions from the public tonight at 7pm. If you're interested in attending or asking a question, you can use this google form: tinyurl.com/MooreTH

How it's felt seeing conservative coverage of Trump's trade war lately.

A lot of questions remain in this story, but it marks a serious move in the constitutional crisis Trump has caused by ignoring court orders. Please get further information from reputable news sources as this story unfolds. #contempt #courts #bringthemback #dueprocess

Isn't it odd how the people always shouting that they want to send (insert any program or issue here) "back to the states" are the same ones who want to eviscerate state budgets? It's almost like they really just want to get rid of all those things but know that sounds bad to say out loud. #politics

YouTube video by ProgressNCAction NC Justice Allison Riggs: "I was made for this fight."

Before Allison Riggs was a judge, she was a voting rights attorney arguing before the US Supreme Court. "I was made for this fight. This is a fight for which I am experienced & prepared. This is a fight I am ready to lead & to win." #ncpol #nccourts #ProtectOurVotes www.youtube.com/watch?v=1lFe...

We all have important people in our lives who rely on Medicare. Regular people across party lines agree that cuts to this program should never even be on the table. Thom Tillis not only considered it, he's tried to go through with it six different times. #ncpol #timetotossTillis

Even among groups with low views of Trump, it's been hard to break the myth that he's "good for the economy." Recent polling suggests he may have finally broken that myth himself. All it took was trashing 401ks and setting small businesses up for bankruptcy. #ncpol #JDVanceFumble

Thom Tillis is working hard right now. Not at solving any problems facing North Carolinians, don't be silly. He's working hard to distance himself from his past. But NC remembers and we'll remember it when we step into the voting booth. #ncpol #timetotossTillis #medicaid

Hundreds of you turned out yesterday to hear Justice Allison Riggs and others speak. The Associated Press, the Atlantic, the Guardian, and others published articles about the rally and case because of you! #ncpol #nccourts #ProtectOurVotes #RiggsWon apnews.com/article/nort...

Critics say GOP Medicaid cuts could slash fentanyl addiction treatment Republicans hope to save a lot of tax dollars by cutting Medicaid. Drug policy experts say as many as a million Americans in treatment for addiction could lose coverage.

1M+ Americans receiving medical treatment for addiction to fentanyl & other opioids could be effected by the Medicaid cuts Trump's budget would require. Medicaid helps pay for almost 90% of addiction treatment and expansion is credited for a major drop in overdose deaths. #ncpol #medicaid #addiction

Did you know that one of the people Trump imprisoned inside CECOT in El Salvador was taken from Mecklenberg County? Here's a brief summary of his situation. Sourced from articles in: The Assembly, USA Today, & Mother Jones. #ncpol #nc #mecklenberg #defendimmigrants #dueprocess

Whoops, accidentally called Rubio the AG instead of Secretary of State.

5) sent to a detention center is because an NC State staff member thought to start checking student files when the news broke of what Rubio was up to.
