Gaston County Resident Arrested In Connection To January 6th Attack On The Capitol

The FBI raided the home of a Gaston County man believed to have ties with right-wing group Proud Boys. Jeremey Bertino’s home in Belmont was raided for the second time as the FBI believes he is the new leader of the Proud Boys. Federal officers seized a cache of handguns and rifles along with thousands of rounds of ammunition.  

According to the News & Observer, Bertino is the sixth resident of the Charlotte area with some connection to the attack on the capitol on January 6th, 2021. As of yet Bertino has not been charged with any crimes connected to January 6th or the raid on his home. So far at least 20 residents of North Carolina have been arrested with connections to the attack. 

Last month, the North Carolina leader of the Proud Boys, Charles Donohoe, pled guilty to “to conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, and assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers.” Donohoe was the first to plead guilty in the federal probe into the January 6th attack and has promised to testify against other defendants.

Following Threats from Trump, NC Senator Thom Tillis Flips Defense Secretary Vote

Despite his claims of independence, North Carolina Senator Thom Tillis has emerged as a reliable MAGA supporter in Congress. Tillis voted in favor of all of President Trump’s most controversial nominees, including vaccine skeptic Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead the Department of Health and Human Services and pro-Putin National Intelligence nominee Tulsi Gabbard.  

But the most telling vote involved Tillis’ decision to confirm Pete Hegseth to lead the Department of Defense. Hegseth, a former Fox News host, has an extensive list of misconduct allegations as well as a history of troubling comments reflecting his opposition to women serving in the military.

North Carolina Legislative Session Kicks Off With Hundreds of Bills

Less than a month into the 2025 session, North Carolina lawmakers have introduced nearly 300 bills, with hundreds more expected before next month’s filing deadline. However, given the state’s divided government, not all proposals will survive the legislative process.  

Following the 2024 election, Republicans fell just one seat short of a supermajority, meaning Democratic Gov. Josh Stein has the power to veto many GOP-backed bills. Despite this dynamic, several key proposals are gaining attention.
