INBOX: An inmate died in the Durham County Jail on Friday. Durham Sheriff Birkhead's press release refers to the inmate as a "resident," who was found unresponsive in their cell. #ncpol #durham

REMINDER: Duke Energy "loaned" 8 million to the Democrats for their Democratic National Convention in Charlotte in 2012. Then they forgave the loan when the DNC had no money to pay it back. #NCsen #NCpol
Something’s wrong when people set their thermostat temperature higher in the summer to conserve energy and still get hit with higher energy bills. I’m glad to stand alongside North Carolinians who oppose Duke Energy’s rate hikes. Brunswick County, thanks for coming out yesterday!

How much does it cost to fill up $70K worth of campaign vehicles and luxury chauffeur cars? #ncpol #ncsen archive.ph/I6ZVb
We’re facing rising costs from gas to utilities. Yet my opponent continues to see personal profit from his investments in the very corporations he lobbied for that are driving up prices. We need leaders who will stand up for working people, not profit from their pain.

Travel spending via FEC of$211,630. Savoya Chauffeur spending... a big part of that. 👀 #ncsen

Story and video was on my Substack yesterday. Updates are now included: apdillon.substack.com/p/sena…

A "Key & Peele"-style parody video by two NC Democratic lawmakers, bashing GOP and the Opportunity Scholarship Program with bleeped expletives, has House GOP leadership demanding discipline. Sen. Sydney Batch defends it as satire. #ncpol #ncga carolinajournal.com/batch-de…

An Instagram reel from Rep. Vernetta Alston (D-Durham) laced with partially bleeped F-bombs from Senate Minority Leader Sydney Batch (D-Wake) is making the rounds today. #ncpol #ncga Batch acts as an "anger interpreter." The profanities are bleeped but not enough and Batch seems to calls Republicans "a bunch of little f*cking pussies," who can't pass a budget. Batch goes on to trash the Opportunity Scholarship Program (serving over 100K students, mainly low-income kids), saying it's for "rich kids can be taught history with our f*cking tax dollars." Here's the reel. The original is on Alston's Instagram instagram.com/reel/DZWR4WPN9…

Due to Rep. Alston and “Leader” Batch’s outlandish misuse of General Assembly resources and language unbecoming of members of the General Assembly, I am formally calling on Minority Leader Robert Reives to discipline Rep. Alston for her actions. #ncpol

As long as Sen. Batch has been around, you’d think she’d already know that our projects are still being funded, and state employees are still being paid. Democrats should avoid chiming in on fiscal policy, since the last time they were in control, our state was in billions of dollars of debt. #ncpol #ncleg

Curtis McRae dropped out of the House D32 race last week. The seat is held by Rep. Bryan Cohn, who was not going to run again. Cohn has changed course wants to face Republican Frank Sossamon in November. Democratic Party leaders in that district make the final call though. #ncpol #ncga

House and Senate Leadership met yesterday to finalize budget details and framework announced last month. See: nsjonline.com/article/2026/0… No major changes expected other than more Hurricane Helene recovery money expected to be included. Speaker Hall said action could happen anytime in the next few weeks. #ncpol #ncga
