Stop the tax cuts before Jan 1! North Carolina can't afford to lose $1 billion more in public funding next year. We need those dollars for what matters most in our communities! #LoveNCFundNC #NCPol #NCGA

Partial funding for food assistance is the minimum. NC families need the administration to do ALL it can to keep food affordable for the entire month, for every one of the 1.4 people in our state who need this help to keep hunger in check.

High grocery costs are already stretching budgets to their limits. Next month, 1.4 million North Carolinians could see their grocery bills skyrocket. President Trump must release the funding NC’s counting on to keep delivering #SNAP assistance that helps NC families.

The federal government has partially shut down. This happens when Congress doesn’t agree to a funding proposal by September 30th, their fiscal year deadline.

Understanding the Legal Framework Governing a Shutdown | Center on Budget and Policy Priorities
A government shutdown does not provide the Administration any additional legal authority to fire federal employees, limit review of its actions by federal courts, or freeze funding once full-year appropriations are provided.

The Trump Administration and some Republicans in Congress are trying to drive up families’ health care costs by taking away premium tax credit enhancements that help people afford health coverage. #ncpol

@ncgovernor.bsky.social's proposal to target tax cuts to working families who earn wages too low to keep up with rising costs is an important step forward in NC!
We must recognize that our community's well-being will move our economy forward, not more tax cuts for the wealthy few. #ncpol #ncga
