I am overjoyed to see the Lumbee Tribe receive the federal tribal recognition that they have long deserved. This bipartisan effort has taken years, but it pales in comparison to the over a century the Lumbee have been seeking reprieve. www.carolinajournal.com/ncs-lumbee-t...
Because Democrats successfully forced a vote on the House floor to extend the ACA tax credits, Speaker Johnson is now cancelling votes altogether. @housedemocrats.bsky.social stand together in demanding that this bill be brought to the floor now before these tax credits expire in 2 weeks.
While ICE is terrorizing communities in NC, Trump continues to bribe local police into performing ICE duties through the 287(g) program. I introduced the PROTECT Immigration Act with @quigley.house.gov, @mcbride.house.gov, and @jayapal.house.gov to stop this program that endangers communities.
I'm holding a press conference RIGHT NOW on the PROTECT Immigration Act — a bill to stop Trump from using local police in ICE raids. Join me and @jayapal.house.gov, @mcbride.house.gov, @foushee.house.gov, @aclu.org, and @immcouncil.org by tuning into the live below.
Our children are tomorrow's innovators and Congress needs to provide them with tools to succeed in emerging fields like quantum science. I introduced the bipartisan Q-Leap Act to help K-12 students develop skills in this technology that is shaping our future. foushee.house.gov/media/press-...
As 4 Republicans finally joined every Democrat to force a vote on extending the ACA tax credits for 3 years, I was standing shoulder-to-shoulder with my @demwomencaucus.bsky.social colleagues. I'm proud to be in the fight to protect healthcare access alongside this powerful group of women.
🚨 Despite Speaker Johnson's attempts to shut us down, House Democrats are forcing a vote on a 3-year extension of the ACA tax credits. Our communities can't wait any longer for healthcare costs to be addressed. Republicans need to bring this vote to the floor NOW.
Urgent update. Our bipartisan petition to force a vote on a straightforward extension of the Affordable Care Act tax credits now has 218 signatures. Mike Johnson should bring the bill to the floor immediately.
Navigating federal agencies for passport renewals, work authorizations, VA benefits, and more can be difficult—but my casework team is here to help! If you need assistance with federal agencies, don’t hesitate to reach out to my Durham District Office at 919-967-7924.
It was a pleasure to meet Dept. of Veterans Affairs nurses with @nationalnurses.bsky.social to hear more about how Congress can better support them. Though the House recently voted to restore bargaining rights for VA nurses, we must ensure safe workplaces and bargaining rights for all nurses.
While Americans are asking for real AI protections for consumers, Trump is bulldozing state-level safeguards through an executive order. This unconstitutional order silences communities and does nothing to benefit everyday Americans. My full statement:
I am deeply saddened to learn that Durham native Kendall Turner was injured in the devastating mass shooting this weekend at Brown University. I’m relieved she is in stable condition and am wishing her and the others who were injured a full and a speedy recovery. www.wral.com/news/local/d...
