We are 23 days into the shutdown. Still, Republicans refuse to negotiate and now Trump is spending millions on a new ballroom in the White House.
While Republicans serve themselves, Democrats are fighting to reopen the government, extend the ACA tax credits, and lower costs for working families.

North Carolinians are not political pawns. We deserve fair congressional maps that reflect the voices of communities across our state.
Instead, the Republican-controlled NCGA is again subjecting the people of our great state to unfair maps that will disenfranchise voters.
My full statement ⤵️
Happy Diwali to everyone celebrating in #NC04! Wishing you a wonderful festival of lights with your friends, family, and loved ones.
The American people are being held hostage. In my state, a 45-year-old making $62,000 will see their average health insurance costs rise by over $1,500.
Families don’t need promises about holding certain votes, they need affordable healthcare.
On @meetthepress.com, Senate Majority Leader Thune digs in on the short-term funding bill, saying negotiations can happen after that at the appropriations level. He likens Democrats to "hostage" takers who are "hijacking" the process to pursue ideological demands. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...
Once the rules of engagement are set, I believe Democrats should use those same rules to fight back.
I joined NC Capital Tonight to talk more about how we can push back against Republicans' attempts to rig our elections by illegally redrawing North Carolina's maps.
I don't agree with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene often, but moms like her and I know that the cost of healthcare—and just about everything—is far too high.
The American people can't afford this Administration, and that's why Democrats are fighting back.
As the Supreme Court considers whether to gut what is left of the Voting Rights Act, I stand with the Congressional Black Caucus in defense of the sacred right to vote.
The VRA must be upheld to protect our democracy and ensure the voices of our Black and Brown communities can be heard.
Despite being unable to pass a state budget, the Republican NCGA is now prioritizing the passage of partisan Congressional maps.
Democrats won across the statewide ballot in November, and these changes would further misrepresent our evenly divided state.
North Carolinians deserve better.
I wore purple for #PurpleThursday alongside my @demwomencaucus.bsky.social colleagues to honor Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
Domestic violence affects over 20 Americans each minute. If you or a loved one needs help, call the 24-hour National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE.
Nearly 1 month since Speaker Johnson shut down the House, and Democrats are still here in Washington fighting back.
House Republicans won't discuss extending ACA tax credits or pass year-long funding bills to keep our government funded, and American families are the ones paying the price.
While troops and federal workers continue to worry about whether they’ll get their next paycheck, Speaker Johnson is planning a fourth week of vacation for House Republicans.
It’s time for the House to return so we can get the government reopened and lower health care costs.
This is an important step, but we must remain vigilant in our efforts to ensure Israelis and Palestinians can live safely—which begins with this imminent release of the remaining hostages and ensuring aid can reach families in Gaza. (2/2)
I am thankful to hear the news of this ceasefire agreement, and I dearly hope that it will be permanent. (1/2)

Nearly 1.5 million North Carolinians are at risk of higher healthcare costs or may lose their healthcare entirely.
While the House hasn't been in session since September 19, our constituents are facing a healthcare crisis. This isn't about politics, this is about saving lives.
Farm workers that depend on the ACA and are now left wondering if they'll be able to afford health insurance.
Meanwhile, farm loan processing has halted and disaster assistance payments are delayed — all while farmers are already struggling with tariffs. They can't afford this chaos.
REMINDER: Just days ago, Speaker Johnson said Adelita Grijalva could be sworn in whenever she wanted.
Now, the GOP is using her swearing-in as political leverage and are leaving nearly 1 million people in AZ-07 without a representative during this shutdown.

Oversight Democrats have one message for Speaker Johnson: Stop the Shutdown, Release the Files!
This week, I met with the Ministerial Alliance of Durham who all expressed their concerns about the local impacts of our nation's ongoing health care crisis.
Local organizations and places of worship are too often expected to pick up the slack for our government—I'm fighting to help fix that.
Federal workers shouldn't pay the price for a government shutdown, instead Republicans are using them as pawns in their political games.
It also concerns me that Trump can't seem to remember that he signed the law which guarantees backpay for furloughed federal workers.
Domestic violence impacts millions of people every year. Please remember that it is never too late to ask for help.
If you or a loved one is a victim of domestic violence, call the 24-hour National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE.
