It was not an easy decision, but I voted in favor of this bill which will deliver nearly $11.5 million in Community Project Funding to our district and will help avoid a shutdown that would put the benefits of hardworking Americans at risk. www.cbsnews.com/news/house-v...
Democrats are united. We've forced an up-or-down vote to restore the lifesaving ACA tax credits TODAY. Time for Trump and the GOP to go on the record. Join us in restoring the tax credits, or keep making life unaffordable for hardworking Americans.
Trump's deputization of local officers to perform ICE duties erodes trust in law enforcement while targeting our immigrant communities. I joined @heartlandsignal.bsky.social to discuss my PROTECT Immigration Act to end these partnerships with ICE and restore trust across our communities.
The officers who put their lives on the line on January 6 to protect our country deserve more than a plaque in remembrance, they deserve a Congress committed to upholding democracy. I joined the Congressional Black Caucus in condemning this dark day that has led to Trump's escalating extremism.
The turn of the New Year means skyrocketing health care premiums for millions of families due to the GOP's health cuts. Families shouldn't have to choose between paying for health insurance or putting food on the table—Congress needs to restore the ACA tax credits to save lives.
Trump’s attempted coup on January 6, 2021 is a stain on our nation’s history that we can never forget and never allow to happen again. I was proud to stand alongside @housedemocrats.bsky.social to honor the lives lost and those injured due to this unprecedented attack on our democracy.
ICE's killing of an innocent woman in Minneapolis today should appall every single American. This Administration's lies and attempts to blame the victim are disgusting. We've seen the video—their claims of self-defense are baseless.
It was great to meet with the GoTriangle workers who keep our local buses running and discuss strategies to expand access to reliable transit across the Triangle. While the GOP cuts transportation funding, I'll always support local transit that keeps our communities connected.
I am saddened by the passing of my colleague, Representative Doug LaMalfa. He was a dedicated advocate for the people of Northern California, and my thoughts are with his family and loved ones during this difficult time.
We have seen the devastating consequences of unauthorized wars before, and we cannot allow history to repeat itself. Congress must pass the War Powers Resolution now to re-establish its authority over military actions.
Maduro is an oppressive, illegitimate ruler who has brutalized his people and dismantled democratic institutions in Venezuela. But that fact does not give any United States president the authority to unilaterally launch military action without congressional approval.
It is a true honor to represent the Fourth District in Congress. Despite the chaos and reckless policies driven by the Trump Administration and Republicans, I've stood firm for progress, justice, and democracy. Here’s a snapshot of the work that my team and I were able to deliver in 2025 ⤵️
