Rev. Jesse Jackson: ‘’I'm not going to stop until I drop. I’m going to die on the battlefield.” He died on the world's battlefield still fighting for racial justice, economic and political inclusion, and civil and human rights. May his memory be a blessing and his life's work an inspiration. 🫶🙏

NC lawmaker proposes bill easing snow, ice removal after storms • NC Newsline Following unusual levels of ice and snowfall across the state this year, Rep. Cynthia Ball is introducing a bill to help North Carolina better respond to winter weather.

Responding to the weeks of unusual winter weather and the impact on our state's businesses, schools and families, I am proposing a bill to help "Keep NC Open for Business". #OpenForBusiness #ncpol #ncga

Honored to receive an award for my work in the #NCGA to address the shortage of #SchoolPsychologists from the @North Carolina School Psychology Association. Increase pay, provide incentives to stay in NC, establish internships.

Medicaid covers more than 3 million North Carolinians in all, including 1.3 million just in rural counties. Medicaid also pays for 60% of all nursing home stays in our state, and almost half of all childbirths.

Cutting Medicaid would be absolutely devastating to North Carolina.

President Trump out on a golf cart while people's retirements go up in flames.

That may end up being the most enduring image of his presidency.

Share Your Experience with DOGE

How are #Repub and #DOGE policies affecting you? Would you help me know more about real-life impacts of these illegal & destructive policies? If you give permission in the survey, your story (without your name) will help inform my work and plan initiatives that we can all join. #WeDoNotYield

Opinion | This Is How Democrats Can Counter Elon Musk Recklessness will not get us to a revitalized government, but neither will excessive caution and addiction to procedure.

"[Democrats] shouldn’t define themselves simply as Mr. Musk’s operational opposite, leaving themselves defenders of a broken status quo. Their goal must be a muscular, lean, effective administrative state that works for Americans." www.nytimes.com/2025/02/07/o...

Elon Musk’s Blitz Shakes U.S. Government as He Sweeps Through Agencies The billionaire is creating major upheaval as his team sweeps through agencies, in what has been an extraordinary flexing of power by a private individual.

C'mon @nytimes.com and other media. Call it what it is...a COUP! An unelected multi-billionaire and those allowing it are stealing our democracy, our government. #Resistance www.nytimes.com/2025/02/03/u...

Celebrating the District 32 swearing in of NC House Representative Bryan Cohn in Henderson NC. Huge enthusiasm from his supporters and us fellow NC House Dems about how he will be a fighter and strong voice for Granville and Vance Counties, standing with us to build #NorthCarolinaStrong.
