Reign Of Chaos

The numbers don’t lie — but the Trump administration sure does.

The economy’s burning down, and Donald’s standing in the middle of it with a gas can, telling the American people “Everything’s fine!”

Here’s the reality: The newest jobs report? The worst since COVID. We lost 11,000 manufacturing jobs — marking the third straight month of decline. 70% of Americans say the economy is tanking, and 68% blame Trump’s tariffs for driving prices higher. Instead of facing the facts, Trump did what he always does — firing the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics and called the numbers “phony.” Because when reality doesn’t fit his fantasy, he attacks the messenger.

The economy’s in freefall, families are paying the price, and Trump’s too busy spinning lies to do anything about it. He owns this chaos — and once again, it’s Democrats that will be cleaning up his mess.

Michael What?

If you’re wondering who Michael Whatley is — you’re not alone. Once you do find out, you’re going to wish you hadn’t asked.

Whatley is the ultimate D.C. political insider: a career lobbyist, a puppet for Big Oil, and a loyal yes-man for special interests. He’s never held elected office, but he’s spent his career protecting extremist politicians, corporate donors, and policies that hurt everyday people.

Remember Mark Robinson? Yeah, he backed “minisoldr” every step of the way. Calling Robinson a “man of the people” and pushed others to “emulate” him. Now Whatley’s running for Senate with the same toxic agenda: gutting health care, raising costs, and rolling back the rights of everyday North Carolinians.

He’s not a leader. He’s a mouthpiece for corporate interests and a rubber stamp for harmful policies. North Carolina deserves better than a lobbyist with a punchline for a platform. To learn more about Michael Whatley, visit meetmichaelwhatley.com

Hold The Line

In 2024, North Carolina Democrats fought like hell to protect Josh Stein’s veto power — knocking doors, flipping seats, and holding the line against the GOP’s extreme agenda.

That work mattered. That win mattered.

Josh Stein has used that power to stop some of the worst Republican attacks in their tracks — from blocking bills that would raise your power bills, to vetoing efforts to put guns in schools, shield dark money political donors, or allow permitless carry.

His veto pen has been a shield for North Carolina. Now, vital vetoes are at risk — and the very progress we worked so hard to protect hangs in the balance. We must call on our elected leaders to stand firm and sustain the vetos. We showed up to protect this power. Now it’s time they do the same — for North Carolina.
