NC Republicans hand out tax breaks to the wealthy while leaving our teachers with scraps.

Before they took control, NC ranked 25th in teacher pay. Now we’re 46th. It’s time they fully fund our public schools and pay teachers what they deserve.

The federal government is shut down, but it didn’t have to be this way. From Raleigh to DC, Republicans have us in a perpetual budget crisis of their own design.

Republicans have officially shut down the government.

Democrats are here to fight for a deal that reopens the government and lowers the cost of health care for working families across the country.

Medicaid cuts take effect TOMORROW. Instead of stopping them, Republicans packed up and left. Imagine clocking out while people’s health care is on the line.

North Carolina students have waited 31 YEARS for the education our Constitution guarantees.

Republicans have the money. They just refuse to fund schools.

Phil Berger is so desperate for Trump's approval he's willing to give up fair elections.

When a politician has to redraw maps to keep power, it means voters have already rejected them.

Republican Senate candidate Michael Whatley sold out North Carolina with one phone call.

Now 600k+ people risk losing health care and rural hospitals face closure. NC deserves leaders who put people before politics.

How NC’s Berger broke from Tillis on Medicaid after a call from a Trump ally

As the NCGA returns to Raleigh, it’s time to put people first.

Lawmakers must pass a real budget that:
✅ Raises teacher & state employee pay
✅ Fully funds Medicaid so folks get the care they need

North Carolinians deserve a legislature that delivers for them.

So what even is Leandro?

North Carolina Republicans are preventing public schools from getting the funding they need. How? It all comes down to an NC Supreme Court case called Leandro v. The State of North Carolina.
