On this day in 1865, the 13th amendment was ratified, formally ending slavery in the United States. Today, we remember this first step in the long fight for equality, and we must continue to reject every attempt to erase this shameful chapter of American history.

70 years ago today, the Montgomery Bus Boycott began, a powerful and peaceful protest which was a foundational event for the civil rights movement. We honor this historic moment by continuing the fight for true justice for all, today and every day.

The SSEP and Mountain Valley Pipeline Southgate project’s developer has shown disregard for environmental and safety regulations, endangering those communities further. I joined @bobbyscott.house.gov and @foushee.house.gov to demand that FERC review the impacts of these projects before advancing.

It was a pleasure to see so many students in #NC04 participating in this year's Congressional App Challenge! Thank you to the families and students who joined my awards reception, and congratulations to this year’s winners. I can’t wait to see how far this next generation of STEM leaders can go!

By eliminating hazards associated with chlorine gas, this project will improve public safety in our community. I'm proud to have helped secure this funding, and I won't stop working to ensure families have access to safe, reliable water. (3/3)

The funding will be used to convert the facility from a chlorine disinfection system to a safer sodium hypochlorite system. Chlorine gas is acutely toxic and the accidental release of the gas at a treatment plant could place staff and local neighborhoods in danger within minutes. (2/3)

During my remarks as Ranking Member of the Space & Aeronautics Subcommittee, I compared China's growing space science plans to Trump's continued attempts to cut NASA funding. For all the administration's talk of maintaining leadership in space, this clearly isn't a winning strategy.

@ncgovernor.bsky.social is right. DHS continues to sweep our communities while detaining citizens and people with no prior convictions. Fatima’s story is one of many here in North Carolina. This administration must answer for these inhumane attempts to sow fear across our communities.

Border Patrol says it is targeting violent criminals, but by many reports, more than 70% of those detained have no prior convictions. Fátima Issela Velasquez-Antonio came to North Carolina as an orphaned child a decade ago and is working in and contributing to her community in Wendell.

Rising healthcare costs are hurting working families in North Carolina. Our state deserves better. I will never stop fighting to protect the ACA, expand Medicare and Medicaid coverage, and ensure that every American has access to the quality, affordable healthcare they need.

Republicans in DC are headed towards another shutdown while Republicans in North Carolina are focused on silencing American history, past and present. The NC GOP should focus on finally passing a state budget instead of this harmful fearmongering and attempts to whitewash our school curriculums.

Despite pushback from communities and officials in North Carolina and Virginia, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission continues to fast-track approvals for pipeline projects without regard for its environmental impacts. (1/2)

If this report is true, Pete Hegseth has violated international law by ordering the killing of surviving crew members after a strike in international waters. Hegseth must testify under oath immediately. He is a security threat and Americans deserve the truth. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
Congressional committees to scrutinize U.S. killing of boat strike survivors
The Senate and House armed services committees’ pledge followed a Washington Post report revealing that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered that a U.S. strike leave no survivors.

The end of DOGE won't bring back the thousands of jobs which were stripped from hardworking Americans in my district.   I spoke to NOTUS to share more about the toll that Trump's senseless job cuts are taking on communities in the Triangle region. www.notus.org/2026-electio...

One congressional district has seen the most federal grants cut in the country. It overlaps with one of the biggest Senate races of 2026.
