Americans don’t want chaos and carnage in our streets. We don’t want masked agents detaining small children, ripping innocent people from their homes, or terrorizing peaceful communities. We don’t want heavily-armed men who act in our name, with our tax dollars, to bully & kill with impunity.

I voted NO on the Homeland Security funding bill yesterday.
The immigration raids we've seen are out of control & deeply disturbing. And the included funding for FEMA is fully 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Congress has finally given the Lumbee Tribe full federal recognition after fighting for 137 years for the benefits they deserve.
This is long overdue, and I am thrilled that the Lumbee will finally have access to the same services as other federally recognized tribes.
