Merge the applications for all federal benefit programs in one central portal that informs you all programs you are eligible for and creates one application process.
What is an unsexy policy that if passed would immediately help millions of people?

This is the face of someone who's ready to protect Social Security by scrapping the cap and making billionaires pay their fair share.

Anderson Clayton is the best Democratic state party chair in the nation and it’s really not even close. #NCPOL open.substack.com/pub/politi…

Virginia Foxx really was that bad. I am euphoric that she lost her seat.
Meanwhile one of the most vile creatures in Congress has lost its seat

All this. @abreezeclayton deserves credit for writing a new playbook and authentically understanding rural voters and connecting candidates with these voters.
This is why Anderson Clayton is so important to nc's win. She is a master recruiter for downballot red races that used to be left empty because she's built an incredible rural organizing playbook that's built relationships in deep red areas with organizers and leaders

👋 JOURNALISTS — here’s a cool one for you: Chuck Hubbard is a former small town newspaper editor. How much more of a dream could you get in Congress?!?! And to beat out Virginia Foxx???? You just got your new nicest member. 🥹

The pride of Roxboro, NC @abreezeclayton
When no one believed her, Anderson Clayton said she would flip NC blue as state party chair and now look at the results. She deserves credit where credit is due. The on the ground organization in all 100 counties made the difference @abreezeclayton

Turns out the message of “we’re gonna incinerate humanity to make a couple billionaires even richer” was not the winning strategy they thought it was
On Election Day, 44 various data center moratoriums were on the ballot across America. 43 passed.

Perfectly stated.
Exactly! It reminds us the work young people do TODAY in North Carolina will change this state for generations to come. It makes me have chills thinking about how many trees people planted before us even though they would never get the chance to sit under them. Now it’s our turn.

This is what we fight for in NC. #AllInforNC
All across North Carolina, Republican voter turnout has cratered so much that the Democrats have a shot at flipping legislative races long seen as just out of reach. Here are a few such "dark horse" races to keep your eyes on tomorrow. If any of these run close, or even flip, that's a signal that North Carolina has hit "blue tsunami" levels. 👉 HD-75 (eastern Forsyth): Donny Lambeth (R, incumbent) is in trouble against Jen Wiles. HD-74, western Forsyth, is probably going to flip tomorrow. 👉 HD-43 (eastern Cumberland): Diane Wheatley (R, incumbent) faces a deep vote deficit against Janene Ackles. 👉 HD-59 (eastern Guilford): Alan Branson (R, incumbent) is in the same position against Elma Hairston. 👉 HD-10 (Wayne): John Bell (R, incumbent) ditto, against Zyaire Webb. 👉 HD-7 (Franklin/Vance): Open seat. The Democrats' recruit there, Mark Speed, is a well-known name. 👉 HD-117 (Henderson): this is the seat @JenBalkcom vacated so she could lose to @JamieAgerNC. Democratic challenger is Lynne Russo. In the Senate, keep your eyes on SD-4 (Wilson, Wayne, Greene). @Buck_Newton (R incumbent) is in serious trouble against Democratic challenger Jess Rivera. If she pulls off an upset against Newton, she'd be the Democrats' 24th Senate seat.
