Just noticed gas in Raleigh is up almost $0.40 in a week. Average is around $3.20/gal now. Amazing how the same people who blamed presidents for gas prices are suddenly quiet while Trump is in a war with Iran.
Not true. Brown served his full 73 month sentence.
What gets ignored is his documented schizophrenia. His family tried to get him committed but NC’s law only allows it if someone is an imminent danger.
Lawmakers could fix that. Instead they’re playing politics.
Last night's vote shows that Wake County is tired of watching the powerful and well-connected play by a different set of rules.
Congratulations @wileynickel.com for becoming Wake County's next District Attorney!
Roy Cooper has never lost an election because he has spent every day in service to the people of North Carolina.
Congratulations on a commanding victory! Now it's time to get to work for this November.
The election night tally is in, and Berger has lost by 2 (!!!) votes.
This one is going to a recount, and a single miscounted vote would flip this to a tie.
Senator Phil Berger is on razor-thin margins to lose his senate seat.
The current count is 12,965 for Sam Page and 12,793 for Phil Berger with 2 precincts remaining.
The so-called "Conservative Democrats" Carla Cunningham, Shelly Willingham, and Nasif Majeed voted to override Gov. Stein's vetoes last year. All three got primaried. All three are projected to lose.
NC Dems don't forget! 💙
Rep Carla Cunningham has been ousted after voting to raise electricity costs and order ICE cooperation from sheriffs in last year's bills.
Rodney Sadler - 74.53%
Carla Cunningham - 18.66%
Senator Thom Tillis just torched Kristi Noem and the DHS over the wrongful detention of U.S. citizens, the shootings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good, blocking FEMA funds to Western NC, and alleged cover ups for investigations.
We agree with Tillis. Kristi Noem needs to resign.
Voters don’t skip down ballot races b/c they don’t care, they skip b/c WE haven’t given voters information about judicial elections and why they matter! Thanks Flip NC for having these critical conversations! Today is primary Election Day, and there are judicial races on your R or D ballot. Vote!
North Carolina, Primary Election Day is here!
Polls close at 7:30 PM, so if you haven't voted yet, there's still time.
And if you're in line at 7:30? STAY IN LINE. You have every right to cast your ballot.
Early voting has ended, but you can still vote on March 3rd from 6:30am to 7:30pm.
Find your sample ballot on the NCSBE website and choose the candidates and issues that best represent you.
The “$13B savings” is a pipedream based on faulty projections. Nothing in the bill guarantees lower costs.
Funny how a bill drafted in part by Phil Berger and a former Duke exec ends up making it easier for Duke to raise our bills. And we’re already facing 15% hikes next year.
Epstein’s survivors stood in the room and faced Trump at the State of the Union, and he ignored them. He didn’t even mention the files in his speech.
This President won’t take responsibility or hold abusers accountable, but I will keep fighting for full transparency and justice for the survivors.
Over 10,000 unaffiliated voters have already showed up to vote and they overwhelmingly chose the Democratic primary.
This says a lot about where the energy is right now.
Not enough people are talking about what Jeff Jackson is doing as AG.
He stepped in to fight Duke’s 15% rate hike, protected $1.6B in funding, stopped cuts that would’ve cost NC jobs, and is suing over rent collusion and junk fees.
That’s your power bill, your rent, your job.
If you are planning to vote early for the March 3rd primaries, you have one week left.
This is your chance to pick the people and issues that best represent you!
Not only that, but Duke Energy reported a record-breaking $23 billion profit for the last twelve months.
They are now asking for an additional 15% rate hike on NC residents to subsidize corporations and AI datacenters.
Our only hope is that our AG Jeff Jackson can intervene.
Duke Energy is a state-protected monopoly.
Phil Berger backed a bill crafted in part by a former Duke executive, overrode Gov. Josh Stein’s veto, and blocked refunds after a court ruled for consumers.
Duke’s PAC funds Berger.
You decide what that looks like.

233 days.
That’s how long North Carolina has gone without a state budget.
Healthcare funding is running out. Teachers are still waiting on raises.
We deserve better.
Do you think he knows the 2020 census was under Trump's first term?

In 2023, Democrats unanimously voted for the "For the People Act" to ban partisan gerrymandering nationwide. Republicans in the Senate blocked it.
They chose to play this game. They’re now in the finding out stage.
We fact-checked this claim. Julio is listed on the DHS website as one of the "Worst of the Worst" criminals from Wake County.
The civil rights violations in his case were so severe that the Judge dismissed all charges with prejudice, so why is he still being targeted by DHS?
Hey Raleigh Dems! Our Wake Dems Valentine’s Gala is next Wednesday.
Join us for dinner, drinks, and a chance to catch up with fellow Democrats from across Wake County. We hope to see you there!
Recording an ICE agent doesn't make you an agitator. Bringing meals to neighbors scared to leave home doesn't make you an extremist. Making sure a child isn't abducted doesn't make you a domestic terrorist.
We will not tolerate these attacks on peaceful protest.
