We have two senators and should holding them both accountable for their votes. Tillis and Budd are both horrible. Budd shouldn't get to fly under the radar just because his election date is a few years down the road.
Hope many of you can join us Thursday night at 7:30 for "Telling Our Stories," https://secure.actblue.com/donate/support-communications-in-nc, a fundraiser with WI Democratic Party chair Ben Wikler to support Progress NC's work on an expanded project to train storytellers in NC who will make locally rooted content showing what this newsletter consistently highlights -- that Thom Tillis says moderate things and then votes to empower Donald Trump's shredding of health care, environmental and worker protections, and economic growth.
If there's a sharper way to call Tillis a disgrace to the Senate, it escapes me. A dwindling few still believe this spineless figure can represent their interests, but their influence is fading fast. Voting him out is a necessary step in dismantling Fat Donnie's lingering grip on power.
It is so infuriating. Have you seen Tillis and Budd ad running on YouTube? Together they say they are proud sponsors of completing the wall!!! They are part of a cowardly cult. I write or call virtually every day both senators and my rep. Yesterday I emailed 4 times. We shall overcome.💙
Tillis has always been a tool of the oligarchy. He started out as the poster boy for the American Legislative Exchange Council aka ALEC, where much of the legislation that we now recognize as Project 2025 had its origins. He has always been an aparatchik of the US Chamber of Commerce, the Heritage Foundation, aligning himself with every pro business anti worker think tank and movement. He is what he has always been, a defender of the wealthy and antagonist to working Americans.
North Carolina Republican Senator, Thom Tillis, is a disgrace and a Traitor to the people who voted, contributed, knocked on doors and fought hard to earn the Republican mandate they gave President Trump and the Republican Party!
Common Cause and a few other groups held a town hall in Charlotte a couple of weeks ago with a life-sized cardboard cutout of Tillis in his place (since he wouldn’t attend himself).
A duplicitous shit. A graduate of the billionaire funded course “How to screw your constituents”. I can’t wait to flush this guy and all the graduates of this training program. I’d also like to know if it is possible to deny their pension and other benefits because they will be “fired” for cause. They did NOT do their job.
Another quisling response to my email about Trump defying the Supreme Court. He defends the Senate’s power to impeach judges “for treason, bribery and other high crimes and misdemeanors” WTF!!! No recognition at all that it is Trump who is the one who should be impeached!!

Tillis has shown NC who has bought his votes in the Senate. What good is he to his constituents? NONE!

I usually end up emailing both of them at least 4 times before breakfast. And I collect the empty responses that always go along here lines of
“Like you I agree that we must_____, BUT…”
Translated, this means, “I agree with you in principle, but I’m gonna vote for my own career anyway.”
Spot on. Stephanie :-)
Clear to me for some time that Tillis is looking forward to retirement next year.
I will note I have some empathy for his young staff - some must feel a bit of discomfort with the office's display of cognitive dissonance.

Amen! If you request the cavalry do not call Tillis because you're on your own. Remember in the fall of 2026!
You are a traitor to the country and will not be elected by the people of North Carolina. You are a disgrace.

I think the cutout should primary him.

Tillis is a liar and a disgrace. He does nothing to represent the people of NC.
