Today I spoke about Fatima, a young woman from Wendell who was detained by CBP while simply doing her job. She has no criminal history, a pending asylum claim, and she was still denied bond.
We won't stop fighting until Fatima is home where she belongs.

I led my colleagues in calling on House leadership to reject an AI moratorium that would jeopardize protections for women and girls. We cannot turn back progress. We have a responsibility to create safeguards that protect against the harms of AI.

Republicans have spent years trying to rip up the Affordable Care Act. They still have no backup plan.
If they let ACA tax credits expire, millions of people will pay more for basic health care. Extend the tax credits now.

Fátima Issela Velasquez-Antonio has never been a threat. She is a valued member of her community, and she deserves to be treated as such. There is no safety gained by ripping families apart.
We will not stop fighting until she is back where she belongs. Bring Fatima home.

It was wonderful to stop by Designed for Joy in Raleigh, which provides women in crisis with stability through employment.
It also has a retail space that is open to the public.

Fear and intimidation do not strengthen our country. I will continue calling on Congress to deliver comprehensive immigration reform that reflects who we are as a nation.

This is how CBP is operating. Grabbing random people, even teens, off the street. North Carolinians are terrified, and this needs to end. www.cbs17.com/news/local-n...

We all want safe communities, but CBP is operating without transparency and terrifying our people. They are going after people in churches, community centers, small businesses, and more.
They are not making North Carolina safer.

Deploying CBP to major American cities doesn’t make us safer. Indiscriminate immigration raids are useful for sowing fear and generating headlines, but totally ineffective at protecting us from criminals and terrorists.

Republicans wrote themselves a taxpayer-funded legal bailout for January 6.
Every hour spent on this self-serving provision should have been spent working to lower costs for Americans struggling to afford healthcare. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

There are lawmakers on both sides of the aisle who want to protect healthcare for working families.
I introduced a bill with @liccardo.house.gov & Congressman Kevin Kiley that would extend ACA tax credits and ensure hundreds of thousands of NC families can continue to access life-saving care.

Our bipartisan Fix It Act extends ACA tax credits to reduce health care premiums without increasing our deficit, by incorporating reforms proposed on both sides of the aisle, by GOP Senator Bill Cassidy and Dem @ross.house.gov. A solution already exists–let’s cut the politics and get it done.

Since day one of this corrupt administration, Republicans have taken a sledgehammer to our state’s health care system and steadfastly refused to negotiate with Democrats on funding the federal government.

The reports about Trump and Epstein are sickening. Power and privilege should never protect abusers or silence survivors.

House Democrats on Wednesday released emails in which Jeffrey Epstein wrote that Donald Trump had “spent hours at my house” with one of the convicted sex offender’s victims, among other messages that suggested Epstein believed Trump knew more about his abuse than he has acknowledged. nyti.ms/441Dyxh
