Trump floats plan to deny back pay to furloughed federal workers after shutdown β€’ NC Newsline The Trump administration may try to interpret a law enacted during his first term in office differently than it did following the last government shutdown, potentially denying back pay to hundreds of ...

Republicans shut down the government. Trump then threatened to fire thousands of federal workers. Now, Republicans are saying furloughed employees don't deserve pay for their hard work?

You're elected officials. End the shutdown and treat people with respect.

The victims of Jeffrey Epstein's abuse deserve justice. Pardoning their tormenter would be a slap in the face.

We need true accountability and justice. Release the files.

Gov. Stein signs Iryna's Law, but calls out the GOP for failing to address the root issue of mental health and disempowered healthcare workers.

He also vows to never allow death by firing squad so long as he is Governor.

The NCGA need to get serious about protecting NC.

Sorry Mr. President. This government was founded on protest. People can, and will, protest under their first amendment right.

Hope to see y'all out there on October 18th. #NoKings

Well said.

This is the "Great Negotiator", y'all.

He gets an "F" in my book.

What does a government shutdown mean for NC?

❌ 51,900 NC federal workers are unpaid or furloughed
❌ Families lose WIC & SNAP food aid
❌ Flights are delayed from short staffing
❌ National parks are closed

The longer the shutdown lasts, the more impact we will see.

The failure to pass a medicaid bill was an unforced error. Democrats called this out back in August.

The NC GOP failed to meet the October 1st deadline to provide adequate funding for medicaid. Despite having three months to broker a deal, they have chosen to put political disputes ahead of our people's health.

"The General Assembly has failed you", says Gov. Stein.

Where are House Republicans?

Republicans just brought the House into session for a total of 2 minutes.
Β 
Democrats tried to bring up legislation to keep government open, keep children on their insurance, and keep health care costs from doubling.
Β 
Then they adjourned. The GOP will own this shutdown.

John Ashe, NC farmer, says, β€œThis is a critical time. It’s going to be critical until harvest. It’s amazing to me how some farmers are still proud of [Trump] for doing this.”

Due to Trump's trade war, China is buying soybeans from Argentina and Brazil putting NC at a $550M loss.

If the Republican party is so popular then why do they work so hard to make sure people can't vote?

❌Gerrymander every district in NC
❌Invalidate 60,000 votes for military overseas
❌Rewrite the rules for the Board of Elections
❌Hire partisan boys to stop your vote

Shannon Dingle, widow of six children says, "Medicaid allows us to survive."

The NC GOP-controlled House and Senate cannot agree on funding and the Senate has gone home without any agreement for the medicaid bill.

While the GOP play politics, NC families face devastating loss.

This weekend we've witnessed several mass casualty events, including North Carolina. We face a government shutdown next week and many federal employees will lose their jobs.

Meanwhile, Donald Trump is redecorating the Oval Office with gold spray paint.

We are leaderless.

Ask @terenceeveritt.bsky.social what happens to those who report crimes committed by the NC General Assembly.

This has to change. Good luck on the campaign trail. 🫑

πŸ™„ The GOP is so unpopular that they have to cheat, and cheat again, to stay in power.

The Wake County Democrats have a plan with Project 2032 to end partisan gerrymandering in NC forever.
