Weekend Joe – The Time to Act Is Now
We all have favorite songs and least-favorite songs. As I was waiting for an oil change at the dealership the other day, one of my least favorite songs came on — John Mayer’s “Waiting on the World to Change.” Despite its catchy tune and Mayer’s sultry voice, there’s something that has always bothered me about this song. Why should we wait for the world to change? If we want the world to change, we need to actively work to make the world change. Look what’s happening in these

We're Not Going Anywhere — We're Just Moving Forward
You may have heard that the building housing the Henderson County Democratic Party office has been sold. As a result, we’ll be temporarily closing our office as we search for a new location. We want to be clear: This does not mean we’re going away. In fact, our work is just picking up. We are actively organizing, recruiting volunteers, preparing for upcoming elections, and planning events across the county. This is simply a physical move — not the end of our efforts. We’re us

Weekend Joe: I’m No Pollyanna
I think it may be time to consider where we Democrats are after the election and at the 60-day point of the second Trump presidency. I suspect most (if not all) of us went through a period of mourning after last November 5th. At first glance, it can certainly feel like we Democrats should hunker down and wait for 2028. In his first 60 days in office, Trump has unleashed his Hounds from Hell—Elon and the Oligarchs—who act as if the checks and balances built into our Constituti

Weekend Joe – Chuck’s Townhall Was Both Frustrating and Inspiring
I received an invitation to Chuck Edwards’ townhall only two days before the event. With such short notice, imagine my surprise—and delight—when I found that more than 2,000 people had mobilized and showed up last Thursday. Hoping to Get In AB Tech’s Ferguson Auditorium holds fewer than 400 people. The line stretched past the building, around the parking lot, and back down the other side. We waited patiently, chatting with strangers and applauding whenever someone walked past

Weekend Joe: US House Spending Bill
Late Tuesday evening (2/25/25), the U.S. House passed President Musk’s (oops, President Trump’s) requested budget on a party-line vote. So, our Representative, Chuck Edwards, threw us under the bus again. Many constituents in NC District 11—except for the many billionaires who live among us—will take a hit to the pocketbook. One Republican, Congressman Thomas Massie of Kentucky, said, “Here’s the deal: We are cutting taxes, and we’re not going to cut spending to match it, so
