I will be voting NO on the Homeland Security funding bill. The immigration raids we've seen are out of control & deeply disturbing. And the included funding for FEMA is insufficient to meet the needs of Western NC.
53 years ago, Roe v. Wade marked a major victory for women's freedom. Today that right to reproductive freedom is gone. And the attacks on women’s health have only gone further: millions are losing Medicaid coverage & expiring ACA tax credits priced people out of care. Republicans are to blame.
I was so honored to join the opening celebration for Wake County's New Public Health Center, and see the federal funding I secured for this project being put to work. This is one step forward in getting accessible and affordable health care to everyone in our community.
Yesterday, Congresswoman Alma Adams and I hosted a roundtable with colleges and universities from across North Carolina to hear how we can best support them while they deal with cuts to federal funding and other challenges. I am committed to fighting for the resources that NC's universities need.
On MLK Day, we remember Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s life, legacy, and his profound impact on our nation. Today, when our country's atmosphere feels more charged and tense than ever, Dr. King's message of non-violent resistance and unity is more important than ever.
I'm so proud to celebrate the Wake County Public Health Center opening its doors. In 2022, I secured $2 million in federal funding to help bring this project to life. This facility is an important step forward in helping our community access the care they need.
Yesterday, Governor Stein and the North Carolina Delegation convened to discuss the progress, roadblocks and steps ahead to rebuild Western NC. We must work together, across party lines, to get things done for Western North Carolina.
Fatima did all the right things to be in this country; she has work authorization, no criminal record, and is allowed to be here while her asylum case was pending. Yet she was still detained for over a month. This is happening across the country. It's unlawful and unjust.
The Fed Chair must remain independent and nonpartisan -- whether or not the administration in power agrees with their decisions. The Trump admin's investigation into Powell is political intimidation, and it threatens our economic stability.
On Thursday, the House achieved a milestone when it passed a bill to extend ACA tax credits. But there is still a ways to go before it's signed into law. In the meantime, I'll be doing everything in my power to get this bill over the finish line and lower health care costs.
The House finally passed an extension of the ACA tax credits. But let's be clear: this was an avoidable crisis. For months, Republicans refused to work with Democrats to prevent health care costs from going up. Now, it goes to the Senate, where I hope this will pass ASAP.
Minneapolis is the latest community to experience violence at the hands of ICE and CBP. We saw it in North Carolina too. Federal immigration officers have been abusing their power and violating people's rights. Our people have said: enough is enough.
Later today, the House finally plans hold a vote to extend ACA tax credits, despite Republican leadership's attempts to prevent this from happening. Americans across the country have made their voices clear -- healthcare prices are too expensive. I will keep fighting to lower costs.
Today, our country saw the killing of an unarmed woman in Minneapolis by a masked ICE agent. The evidence does not justify this act of violence. The masked shooter must be criminally investigated and face the consequences.
Five years ago, President Trump incited a violent mob on the U.S. Capitol. 5 years later, Trump & his Republican enablers continue to rewrite history, peddling lies & pardoning violent rioters. We must pledge to tell the truth of what happened & continue fighting for our sacred democracy.
This action endangers our citizens and democracy around the world. Using military force to remove a foreign head of state unquestionably requires congressional authorization. Trump ignored that requirement, once again thumbing his nose at our constitution and Congress.
