Politically active in Wake County, NC. Wake is the largest county in NC. We Democrats drove amazing down ballot results in 2024 (including Josh Stein for Gov!), keeping NC securely purple. We did the hard work. Check us out! Onward! wakedems.org

The entire Democratic Party infrastructure - national, state and local- plus the key PACs - should combine to pay for room & expenses for these brave legislators, for as long as necessary. Nothing more strategic than this investment in fighting autocracy.

I live here North Carolina also. We had a 7-7 congressional delegation in our 50-50 state - which makes democratic sense - until recent partisan gerrymandering by the Republican legislature. It's now 10 Rs to 4 Ds in our 50-50 state. Our one state gave the Rs control of US House of Reps.

Itโ€™s time to get ruthless๐Ÿ”ฅ

If California holds a special election on redistricting, Iโ€™m voting โ€œyesโ€ for new maps. And I promise you Iโ€™m bringing friends and family with me to vote.

The Supreme Court already made it clear itโ€™s fine with gerrymandering. So screw it. LFG.

Theyโ€™ve figured out that he can probably go to 30% and with enough gerrymandering and suppression of voters, 30% can rule over the majority.

If only gaslighting could be provided like a drug. Theyโ€™d all be rich with built in customers who can never get enough. Think verbal fentanyl.

Thank you gerrymandered districts where 45% of American control the rest and are ok with Trump corruption (and losing their healthcare)

TRICK QUESTION: Which of these two guys had a budget that invested heavily in red states, creating high quality good paying jobs? A or B? #ncpol

NEVER FORGET- Biden disproportionately invested in Red States. Trump is whacking them hard now. Will MAGATs finally wake up?

A dagger to the heart of hard working Americans. Skyrocking debt for future Americans to pay. And for what?

This is a betrayal to the American people in service of the richest of the rich. A true dagger through the heart of Americans. Rs must be swept out of office in 2026!

The Big Beautiful Bill is such an obvious scam, such a blatant betrayal to the working class, even MAGATs will wake up when their healthcare support is slashed. Game on 2026!

Do not know of anything at the moment, specific to Raleigh and July 4 timeframe. If I see something, will let you know. Thanks for reaching out.

Has there ever been a more vindictive POTUS? God forbid you should vote your conscience and be respected for it. All GOP members must fold like cheap cameras or be destroyed by the King.

North Carolina will suffer as Trump & GOP ransack the U.S. Treasury to enrich themselves. Hundreds of thousands in our state will lose their health insurance and rural hospitals will close. #ncpol #NoKings

Trump is a felon. Should we interview all felons on their views of justice, or do we kind of know?

Distraction- as we close rural hospitals in red states, letโ€™s focus on the autopen!

And the rural hospitals that will close in red states will be replaced by โ€œbig, beautiful hospitalsโ€ built by the private sector.

Don't you love getting rid of "waste, fraud and abuse", killing people and destroying a productive state's economy positively impacting the country and the world? Any comment, Senator Thom Tillis (R-NC)? #ncpol
