I think the truth will be obvious in January. He can say what he wants but people will feel the pain when their healthcare costs go up. He won’t be able to lie his way out of that.

Amazing turnout at the @ncdemocrats.bsky.social Redistricting Rally today! Thank you to everyone who came out to stop the steal of NC through gerrymandering. Over 11,000 of you have submitted comments in opposition of the redistricting & so many came to give public comment at the legislature.

I funded my participation. I paid for the gas it cost to drive my mom and friend to the church where we protested.

Btw George Soros is 95 so I’ll probably get my reimbursement check from his son Alex.

Here is the real story though more cheating in NC

The new Medicaid rules are even worse for people who need life-saving medication.

I'll let this wonderful, extremely mad, mom explain how bad this new rule is and how it is impacting her young son.

Please watch. Then share this everywhere!

People will suffer needlessly or worse.
