A few years on from the COVID pandemic, Secretary Kennedy has cancelled investments in medical research, fired the CDC Director, and championed anti-healthcare legislation to promote his anti-science and anti-vaccine agenda.
He is a threat to the health of Americans everywhere.

Happy Labor Day #NC04! Workers are the backbone of America, and I remain committed to honoring their contributions alongside @housedemocrats.bsky.social by protecting our unions and laborers across the country.
Today marks the 62nd anniversary of the March on Washington, when thousands took a stand against injustice in demanding an end to segregation and discrimination.
As we continue the fight for freedom, let us draw strength from these leaders and keep marching toward true equality and justice for all.
70 years ago today, Emmett Till was murdered in Mississippi at just 14 years old.
Today, we continue to see efforts to erase Black history and more than ever, we must honor Emmett’s legacy with action and ensure his story is never forgotten.
I'm devastated by the mass shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis. My heart is with the students, teachers, families, and entire community at this time.
Our schools should be a safe place for our children. Congress must act now & protect our communities from senseless gun violence.
On Women’s Equality Day we celebrate the women who fought for the 19th Amendment and the right to vote for women across the country.
Today, we continue their fight for equality for women in every area of life.
🚨 Calling all middle & high school students in NC’s 2nd & 4th Districts: Join @ross.house.gov and I for our App Challenge Jumpstarter!

From Trump's tariffs to the Big, Ugly Bill, the GOP continues to ignore the rising cost of groceries, gas, and health care.
Enough is enough. Republican leadership needs to let us vote on bills that put money back into the pockets of everyday Americans.

New Dems recently released our Innovation Agenda—a framework for how we can spur technological innovation and use these advancements to lower costs & improve lives.

ICYMI: the CBO confirmed that Trump's Big, Ugly Bill triggers an over $500 billion cut to Medicare under the Pay-As-You-Go Act.
The GOP knows seniors and families across the country can't afford these cuts—but they did it anyway to appease their billionaire donors.

This unconstitutional threat is senseless and cannot be stood for.
Early voting, mail-in voting, and absentee voting are critical to allowing more Americans here at home and our troops deployed overseas to participate in our elections.

Small businesses are the engines of our economy, and I'll always support efforts to provide them with the tools they need to succeed. (2/2)
It was a pleasure to speak at the National Institute of Minority Economic Development's Executive Networking Conference about the importance of our local small businesses here in North Carolina. (1/2)
The power sector is the 2nd-largest source of pollution in America, but the EPA is still proposing a rollback of carbon pollution standards for power plants.
I joined Rep. Castor and Rep. Tonko's letter opposing this proposed rollback to protect our climate and ensure clean air for all.
@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social is right. DC is at a 30-year low in violent crime—this is yet another political power grab from this administration.
Once again, Trump is prioritizing political games and sowing fear in our communities over lowering the cost of living for everyday Americans.
Thank you to everyone who joined and shared their stories at my Federal Employee Listening and Resource Session!
I know that this is a difficult time for current and former federal workers—rest assured, I will keep fighting to support each of you and make sure your voices remain heard in Congress.
I sent a letter alongside North Carolina Congressional Democrats to EPA Administrator Zeldin demanding him to reverse course on cutting this already congressionally-approved program. (3/3)

At a time when communities in NC, particularly in the wake of Hurricane Helene and Tropical Storm Chantal, need greater energy independence, the EPA is stripping away efforts that could help our communities achieve this.
It’s heartless and it's a slap in the face to our communities. (2/3)
Let's be clear: EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin is boasting about cutting congressionally-approved funds that would support solar projects for over 900,000 lower-income households.
Instead, we will now create less jobs, and energy costs go up for millions of Americans. (1/3)
NC is home to the last remaining wild red wolf population, and it's imperative that we ensure they do not go extinct.
I'm introducing a bipartisan resolution with Rep. Greg Murphy calling for federal wildlife corridors and support for repopulation efforts to protect red wolves.
