While I am relieved to hear that Border Patrol is leaving their operations North Carolina, I encourage all residents in the Fourth District to remain vigilant and continue to support and protect the safety of our neighbors and our communities. (1/2)
Thousands of kids in our community are missing class out of fear that their family might be ripped apart for the 'crime' of being brown in America. This administration's actions are inhumane and must stop immediately. (2/2)
Today, I sat down with Mayor Leonardo Williams to discuss the ongoing Border Patrol and ICE activity in North Carolina. Immigrants strengthen our communities, and we are committed to protecting our neighbors and ensuring that Durham remains a safe and welcoming place for all.
Today, I joined @demwomencaucus.bsky.social in honoring the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein. We must release all the Epstein Files to deliver the full truth to the American people, bring justice to perpetrators, and give peace to survivors.
I am outraged by the continued and expanding deployment of U.S. Border Patrol and ICE agents in North Carolina. This is not law enforcement—it is state-sanctioned intimidation of our communities, and it cannot be tolerated. Read my full statement.
Border Patrol conducting “enforcement” in a city far from any border and without public justification is an unacceptable abuse of power. These arrests in Charlotte, driven by racial profiling, destabilize communities and violate basic civil rights. (1/2)
A Continuing Resolution that allows people to lose their healthcare isn't a 'clean bill'. I voted against the GOP's budget bill that doesn't address rising healthcare costs and puts the healthcare of hundreds of thousands of North Carolinians at risk. Read my full statement.
Today, I joined @housedemocrats.bsky.social in welcoming Republicans back from their 7-week paid vacation. We've been in D.C. fighting to pass legislation that lowers the cost of living and the cost of healthcare, and we don't plan on stopping anytime soon.
Thank you to all the #NC04 veterans who joined my Congressional Veterans Briefing this week! Our veterans have sacrificed so much to safeguard our democracy, and I'll never stop fighting to ensure they receive the benefits and government support they have earned and deserve.
As the spouse of a veteran, I know firsthand the profound sacrifices our servicemembers make to protect our nation's freedom. On #VeteransDay, we honor and celebrate their invaluable service to our country. Thank you today, and every day, for your courage, dedication, and sacrifice.
Given that Speaker Johnson won't promise a vote on lowering healthcare costs, a deal that excludes the ACA tax credits puts the healthcare of over 25,000 people in my district at risk. I'm ready to find a solution to address the healthcare crisis & open the government—but this deal doesn't do that.
BREAKING: Deal to end government shutdown in reach
Still, the leveraging of food assistance programs for political points continues to harm Americans who need help the most. This administration needs to carry out its responsibilities and ensure that families can put food on the table. It's not about politics, it's about saving lives. (3/3)
Just this morning, families across North Carolina received partial benefits which will help them put food on the table, thanks to the swift action of the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services. These payments will ensure households can access groceries for the time being. (2/3)
I joined former Congresswoman Eva Clayton and the Orange County Dept. of Aging at the Seymour Senior Center to discuss SNAP, the shutdown, and support for our seniors. Protecting SNAP and the health of our seniors isn't just about keeping promises—it’s about strengthening our communities.
