Corporate dark money is playing a much larger role now in Republican primaries in our state legislature to suppress uncooperative members and install more obedient ones. Keith Kidwell, we agree on very little - but these guys did you dirty. 🦐

Here's what happened this week in North Carolina politics. [May 15, 2026] No, we don't have a budget yet - and they're feeling the pressure to show some progress. The May edition of the Carolina Forward Poll is in! Results dropping Monday. Get ready - it's a doozy. 📈

Local school districts all over North Carolina are flashing 🚨warning🚨 signs that they don't have the resources to do what they've been asked to do. But this isn't just a local issue - these are all related. It's a deliberate strategy by the leaders of the North Carolina state legislature.

America is running full-speed into a major and destabilizing constitutional crisis over partisan gerrymandering. Pressure to end partisan gerrymandering was once bipartisan. It isn't anymore.

Yet again in the North Carolina state legislature, we have political theatrics coming from wealthy, super-ambitious politicians. But the real story isn't what they're saying - it's why they're doing it at all, and why it's hurting rural North Carolina. 🤨

North Carolina is the only state in the entire nation operating without a budget. The leaders of our state legislature failed to pass one last year, and just sort of... gave up, because it was too hard. Here's what might happen next. All of these guys look like clowns. 🤡

The worst kind of misinformation is mostly just folks honestly not knowing how stuff works, and then getting frustrated when it doesn't.

Here's what happened this week in North Carolina politics. Whether to tolerate political corruption is a choice voters get to make every time you go to the ballot box.

Among several bad state constitutional amendments being floated in the North Carolina state legislature this year, this one might be the most dangerous.

Here's what happened this week in North Carolina politics. [Friday, May 22, 2026] Legislating is about counting votes. And they still don't have all the ones they need. 👎

@whitehouse.senate.gov said it plainly: Callias exposes this Supreme Court for what it has become — a partisan institution. They’ve helped Republicans rig maps, helped fund the fossil fuel corporations, and now they want to make voters feel powerless. Bad news for them: angry voters show up.

Start with a spark of gratitude to flip the switch in your mind. Embrace forgiveness for your peace, not theirs. Everyone has a story, and you never know what battle they're fighting. #Gratitude #Forgiveness #FindYourPeace #gratitudeattitude #mindovermatter

Every single protester at Delaney has been completely surrounded and the press has been expelled from the crowd. This allows the state authorities to do WHATEVER THEY WANT WITHOUT ANYONE RECORDING/ WATCHING. Pray for the protesters and the victims on hunger strike...

Senate Republicans would rather fund ICE and CBP with no reforms than pass @kim.senate.gov's amendment that would audit conditions at Delaney Hall immigration detention center.
