Air traffic control operators work diligently to keep travelers safe. But behind the scenes, they face infrastructure and facilities needs, raising serious health and safety concerns. I had the opportunity to visit operators at RDU to hear firsthand how Congress can address these challenges.

This is what can happen when North Carolinians stand up and demand fair utility rates. While I'm glad things are moving in the right direction, an 11% rate hike is still nothing to celebrate. The cost of living remains too high. NC families need costs lowered, not raised.

Raleigh is a hockey town. I'm glad to hear that our small businesses also celebrated this weekend, reporting major boosts in sales from the parade. There's nothing better than when good news leads to more good news for our community.

On Juneteenth, we mark the end of slavery in the United States. But the fight is far from over: we are continuing to witness real attacks across the country on the voting rights of Black Americans. We won't rest until voter suppression ends.

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.gov5d ago(source)

Ghislaine Maxwell has undoubtedly received special treatment from this administration. She was moved to a cushy prison & Trump has reportedly considered giving her a pardon. Make no mistake: Trump is implicated in these files. A pardon of Maxwell will only solidify his guilt.

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.gov5d ago(source)

Trump’s reckless attacks on democracy and global stability make it more important than ever to protect the relationship between the U.S. and Europe. I am grateful to be in Brussels to deepen our partnerships and to collaborate on solutions to reduce global emissions. @houseseec.bsky.social

Ahead of the Dobbs anniversary, I met with reproductive rights advocates to discuss the latest attacks on women’s health. I will stand firm in the fight to restore a woman’s right to make her own medical decisions.

I was honored to present an award to WRAL for their excellent reporting at the National Association of Broadcasters' annual awards ceremony. Local journalism helps shine a light on some of the most important issues affecting communities across the country.

Today marks 14 years of DACA. For many immigrants who only know a life in the U.S., this program ensures they can pursue the American dream. But that promise has been replaced with fear & uncertainty under this admin. We need to create a pathway to citizenship for all Dreamers.

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govJun 15(source)

The DOJ is attempting a cover-up. I discovered a policy change that now lets the AG approve prison transfers at their discretion. This comes after they moved Ghislaine Maxwell to a prison that doesn't allow sex offenders. This is an attempt to cover their tracks. I will keep demanding answers.

Alongside Rep. Valerie Foushee, I called on AI companies to address chatbots that have encouraged users to carry out mass shootings, suicide, & other harmful actions. We can't allow AI to promote deadly and dangerous behavior with no recourse. We need accountability. ncnewsline.com/briefs/nc-me...

NC members of Congress call on Google, OpenAI to address chatbot involvement in mass shootings • NC Newsline

Democratic lawmakers called on top AI companies to address interactions with chatbots which they said encouraged harmful actions.

We wrapped up Republicans' so-called "Fraud Week" in Washington. This week, I co-sponsored a bill to block funding for one of Trump's biggest grifts: his slush fund to divert taxpayer dollars to political allies and January 6 rioters.

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govJun 12(source)

I'm leading an investigation with @raskin.house.gov and @khanna.house.gov to find out what they're covering up.

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govJun 12(source)

NEWS: I uncovered that BOP is trying to cover its tracks with a new policy change that gives the AG broad authority to transfer any prisoner. It would allow the AG to do exactly what Todd Blanche did when DOJ moved Ghislaine Maxwell—a convicted sex offender—to a minimum-security prison.

Democrats demand answers over DOJ’s prison policy change tied to Ghislaine Maxwell

Democrats are questioning the timing of a Bureau of Prisons policy change that, they say, is the Trump administration trying to "cover their tracks" with Ghislaine Maxwell.

This admin cut projects to build and study new energy sources—not because they weren't working, but because they were clean energy. North Carolinians know clean energy shouldn't be political. As we face even higher gas and electricity costs, we deserve an explanation.

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govJun 10(source)

Republicans have named this week in Congress “Fraud Week.” So this week, I’ll break down some of the worst fraud the Trump admin has committed. Today, I’m starting with the pardons Trump has given to blatant criminals who have stolen and cheated the American people.

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govJun 10(source)

From the mishandled release of the Epstein Files to Ghislaine Maxwell’s transfer to Club Fed, Congress needs to investigate AG nominee Todd Blanche’s concerning actions at DoJ. He has clearly proven his loyalty to Donald Trump over his loyalty to the rule of law.

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govJun 8(source)

He is Trump’s lawyer - not the people’s lawyer. He's wholly unfit to be AG.

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govJun 8(source)

Todd Blanche botched the release of the Epstein Files. Of course Trump wants to give him a promotion. Blanche - Trump's former personal attorney - helped create Trump's slush fund, prosecuted his enemies, and turned a blind eye to blatant corruption.

Many who served honorably at Camp Lejeune are still seeking justice, decades after developing illnesses from toxic water contamination. I met with survivors and their families in Washington, where I pledged to keep fighting until they receive the compensation they deserve.
