Humbled, honored, and blessed to chat with @DukeU Prof. Mac McCorkle for the first time this evening about #ncpol, @JoCoDemParty, @youngdemsjoconc, and the lay of the land in NC’s 28 #Countrypolitan counties.

Happy Birthday, @USArmy! Watching my son, Justin, and his Battle Buddies begin their journey as Soldiers was one of the proudest moments of my life and a powerful reminder of the bravery and commitment of those who have answered the call to serve. On the Army’s 251st birthday, I am grateful for every Soldier and military family whose courage, sacrifice, and dedication keep America strong.

In 3 yrs this #solar installation at an Arkansas high school turned the district’s budget from a $250K deficit to a $1.8 million surplus. They're using the surplus to pay teachers more We have the solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate #ClimateAction #climate #NoWarNoWarming

The flag doesn't belong to one party. Real patriotism is fighting for all people. Happy Flag Day North Carolina! 🇺🇸

Healthcare close to home matters, whether it is a medical emergency or a visit to the dentist. In Ahoskie, ECU’s Community Service Learning Center is expanding access to oral healthcare while training dentists who understand the needs of rural communities. Every family in eastern North Carolina deserves quality near home.

Rural communities deserve the same access to healthcare as anywhere else in America. For half a century, Rural Health Group has been fighting that fight and serving families across northeastern North Carolina with compassion and commitment. Congratulations on 50 years of putting people first and proving that no community should ever be forgotten.

.@JamesTalarico: There's been a lot of talk in this race about what it means to be a real man. Recently on the campaign trail I told the story of my adoptive dad, Mark Talarico. Every Saturday morning, he would mow our lawn, and then without anyone asking him to, he would go next door and mow our neighbor's lawn because she was a widow. My dad never talked about it — he just did it, because that's what a man does. A man takes responsibility, upholds his commitments to his family and his neighbors, and does what's right, even when no one is watching. Here's what real men don't do. They don't lie and cheat their way through life, sell their soul to the highest bidder, or steal from other people in order to enrich themselves. Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves. I welcome this debate about what it means to be a man, and I don't think Ken Paxton or Ted Cruz are in a position to tell anybody what a real man is.

If you’re concerned about your household finances, you’re not alone. I have a plan to help lower your costs for things like groceries, housing and child care. Meanwhile, @WhatleyNC still won’t say whether he thinks your utility rates should go up. cnn.com/2026/06/08/economy/n…

Today, AG @JeffJacksonNC sued on behalf of @NCDEQ to stop Brenntag Mid-South from continuing to illegally discharge contaminants into state waters from its Durham facility and to act immediately to clean up the damage it's caused. ncdoj.gov/ncdoj-ncdeq-sue-to…

A healthier eastern North Carolina starts with access. Congratulations to The Meridian Health Institute on opening its new facility in Tarboro. By expanding healthcare services and investing in our communities, we are helping ensure more families can receive the care and support they need closer to home.

If you're wondering what more you can do to make a difference, talking to your neighbors and making sure they’re ready to vote is the best way to make an impact. Every Thursday at 6pm, we're hosting a training to teach you everything you need to know to get started. Join us! mobilize.us/ncdems/event/870…
