As I watch the election results in Brazil.. their unbridled euphoria as they realize they have snatched democracy from the jaws of authoritarianism. It’s our turn. Get yourself and everyone you know to the polls. #DefendtheRepublic

In New Hanover County, R’s (Lee and Scalise) are calling people “bonkers” and fascists. Blowing a lot of smoke, but not talking about making life better. How about tax credits for working people? child care? Free meals for schoolchildren? How you gonna help the people? #Vote

So we are calling a special session 30 days before an election to give gas tax relief? Such a coincidence…why didn’t we give relief in May and April when the prices were even higher? Oh right…it’s not about the people, it’s about the power.

Hey Gov Ops…official NC House committee platforms and state legislative resources used to campaign against or vilify candidates of the opposing political party raises a serious legislative-ethics question and may constitute an impermissible use of official resources. Ethics101.

The last-minute campaign spending by @senatorberger is absolutely off the charts. Just through February 15, Phil Berger has spent $2.36 million on his campaign, while Sam Page has spent just $54,000 - a 43:1 ratio. And that doesn't even include the millions in outside dark money spending in the primary. Some last-minute campaign contributions directly to Phil Berger: the CEOs of both the @ncchamber and @DukeEnergy following up the millions that both organizations have already contributed to those totally-not-coordinated-at-all dark money PACs.

No Budget? No Pay! Do you think legislators should receive their pay when they can’t pass a budget? I don’t. #debbutler #iwillnotyield #electdebbutler @NCHouseDems @NCDemParty @NewHanoverDems

Someone at Harris Teeter spotted me and said, “DEB! Reckon when NC’s gonna get a budget?” I said “Ask Punxsutawney Phil BERGER.” #NoBudgetNC #NCDP #Midterm2026

Violence. Is. Wrong. And anyone who leaps to conclusions or seeks to inflame us in the face of a tragedy is guilty, too. Stop. Mourn. And do the work to promote calm and peace. Full stop.

Rep. @DebButlerHD18 on NC being ranked #1 for best states for business, but last for workers: “Business success and worker prosperity are not mutually exclusive. They can rise together…your collective voices, your strength, and your courage are so powerful and so important.”#1u
