Trump’s war on Iran is putting the lives of servicemembers and civilians abroad at risk—AND it’s raising costs here in North Carolina. Congress needs to pass a War Powers Resolution immediately and put an end to this senseless war.
Campaign spending has risen into the billions—this money would be much better spent supporting our communities. Congress needs to prioritize campaign finance legislation immediately that returns the power of the vote to the people.
As a former member of the Chapel Hill-Carrboro Schools Board, I have seen firsthand the impact educators can have on children in our district. I will continue to fight for proper funding in Congress to support these educators who help push our country forward.
Congratulations to Jason Johnson, the principal of Orange High School, for taking home the 2026 National Principal of the Year award! Thank you for your dedication to uplifting public school students in our district and shaping our future generations for the better. chapelboro.com/news/pre-k-1...
I’m glad that local leaders are taking this issue seriously, and I will continue to push for legislation to enact proper reporting requirements and regulations surrounding data centers to keep our communities safe.
I strongly support Orange County’s decision to implement a one-year moratorium on data centers. Data centers hurt the environment, raise energy costs, and often tap into local grids without properly compensating local communities. www.wunc.org/environment/...
I’m sending my condolences to the loved ones of Congressman David Scott. Congressman Scott was a champion for working families in Georgia for his over 20 years in Congress and beyond. He will be missed dearly, and his impact will be felt for generations to come.
More than ever, it's critical that Congress legislate with the tyranny of this Administration in mind. We can't turn a blind eye to NSPM-7 and these actions demonstrate that Congress must reject any FISA bill that allows the Trump Administration to surveil American citizens without a warrant.
This is part of Trump’s wider playbook to silence anyone who disagrees with him. Trump’s NSPM-7 memo, and the establishment of a mission center in accordance with that memo, explicitly lays out his goals of designating his opponents as “domestic terrorism” threats. bsky.app/profile/fous...
I have deep concerns about the revelation of a recently created “NSPM-7 Joint Mission Center” in the FBI’s FY27 budget request to Congress.
I am proud to be an original cosponsor of @jayapal.house.gov's Ultra-Millionaire Tax Act to establish a wealth tax for those with above $50 million. This bill would generate over $6 trillion while keeping taxes the same for over 99.5% of all Americans. In other words, it’s time to TAX THE RICH.
It is an outrage that in the richest country in the world, the wealthiest 1% own 50% of the country’s wealth. That’s why I introduced my Ultra-Millionaire Tax Act alongside @warren.senate.gov — so the rich pay their fair share, and we can actually invest in all Americans.
These common-sense reforms are important steps for Congress to take. We cannot afford to wait for a two-thirds majority to overturn Citizens United—Congress must address the inequities in our campaign finance system immediately.
I am proud to announce that I have cosponsored @repsummerlee.bsky.social's Abolish Super PACs Act to stop the continued influence of big-money donors and billionaires in our elections. Elections should be decided by votes, not money.
