.@RoyCooperNC is running not because he wants to go to Washington, but because he knows our country is in crisis. He’s a good man, and he will be a great US Senator. Join me in doing all you can to support him! newsobserver.com/news/politi…

They risked everything for our troops. Now we're leaving them behind. It's not just a moral failure - it's a betrayal that puts Americans at risk in future missions. Who will ever help us again if this is how we treat our allies? washingtonpost.com/world/202…

We lost a giant today. David Gergen spent his life serving this country. In his later years, he devoted himself to lifting up young leaders. Over the years, I turned to him for his wisdom, heart, and counsel. Deeply grateful. Prayers for Anne and family. apnews.com/article/david-ger…

As someone who lived near Siler City, this is crazy to see. I’m used to flooding and hurricanes in eastern NC, but now hurricanes out west and flooding in central??
The devastation in NC and TX is heartbreaking. We also need to be clear. These aren’t 500 or 1,000 year floods anymore - the climate has changed. And the person who should be doing the most to protect us is busy demolishing the protections. That's tragic. wral.com/22077408/?fbclid=Iw…

When I built a business, I balanced my budget. Every year. It’s absurd Washington politicians won’t do the same. Now they’re saddling our kids with debt and, what’s even more cruel, stealing health care from millions — just to fund tax breaks for the rich. nytimes.com/2025/06/29/us/po…

Tillis let down NC as senator. Now, when the going gets tough - when Trump threatens a primary - he quits instead of standing up for us. Letting us down again. We need a senator who isn't afraid to stand up to Trump, his daughter in law, or anyone. Period. wunc.org/politics/2025-06-29…

Since day one, our Governor @JoshStein_ has worked tirelessly to rebuild Western NC and help so many who suffered from Helene. Love to see Chimney Rock State Park reopen!

The people of western NC have been through so much. They deserve leaders who will stand up for them. Tillis and Edwards need to look in the mirror. If you're not in office to help people, why be there at all?
In January, Trump came to North Carolina criticizing the response to the disaster and pledging to make it right. Today, he’s denying support. #NCPOL open.substack.com/pub/politi…

Big corporations and government have no business prying into our personal lives. A government "master database" to keep track of our personal info and use however they want... absolutely not. nytimes.com/2025/04/30/opini…

Elon Musk called my husband @CaptMarkKelly a traitor. Yesterday, Roger Stone said he should be executed for treason. After last year, Trump and his allies should understand that the threat of political violence is real. It stole a job that I loved. Inciting violence is unAmerican — it’s what extremists do. Anyone serious about protecting this country should know the difference.

We are so lucky in NC to have a governor in @JoshStein_ who is laser focused on Helene recovery - helping so many people who have suffered.
Small businesses are the beating heart of our economy. I stopped by some small businesses in Marshall – including Shady Side Florist, a recipient of a Western North Carolina Small Business Initiative grant – to see how they are recovering and rebuilding following Hurricane Helene. No matter where you are across North Carolina, please shop at a small business or two this week!

"You establish the rules before the game. You don't change them after the game is done." - Judge Richard Myers (a Trump appointee). Well said. Time for Jefferson Griffin to concede so Allison Riggs can get back to serving our state. newsobserver.com/news/politi…
