For over 2 years, I have been working to address these issues including a visit to the facility & letter which did not receive a response.
Now, I am going public with my efforts. The Bureau of Prisons must answer my questions & ensure the safety of staff & those incarcerated at the facility. (2/2)

The conditions at the FCC Butner prison complex are deplorable. Reports of sewage overflowing through floor vents, deteriorating food storage systems, and more cannot go unaddressed.
This week, I demanded updates on infrastructure and staffing improvements from the Bureau of Prisons Director. (1/2)
Firing scientists and disrupting air pollution research doesn't keep our communities safe, and I'm exploring all avenues to reverse this. (2/2)
My office is hearing reports that the lease for the Center for Public Health and Environmental Assessment, an EPA air pollution lab in Chapel Hill, was not renewed. (1/2)

I am proud to support the @demwomencaucus.bsky.social Better Future Policy Agenda—a plan to advance the economic security, health, and rights of women and girls across the nation.
These are real solutions that put women first, and we won’t back down.
NC is still waiting on DOT grant award funds for the S-Line passenger rail route, so I took the opportunity to ask Secretary Duffy about it at the @transportdems.bsky.social hearing.
He says that he’s working on it and understands the importance of this rail line—I'll be holding him to that.
As Ranking Member of the Space & Aeronautics Subcommittee, I will continue fighting to protect these essential investments to advance U.S. leadership in space science and discovery. (3/3)
Trump’s attacks on NASA Science and gutting research funding as a whole will leave this center without the necessary graduate student fellowships and internship support it needs to function. (2/3)
It was a pleasure visiting the Harvard & Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, home to the Chandra X-ray Observatory and the world’s most powerful X-ray telescope, with @pressley.house.gov to learn more about their cutting-edge research in AI, astronomy, and astrophysics. (1/3)

On today's Democratic Daily Download, Rep. Rashida Tlaib explains how Trump's Big Ugly Law betrays our communities: Ripping away health care and food for families all to give tax breaks to billionaires.
Every single House Republican bent the knee to Trump and voted against releasing the Epstein Files.
Redacting the victims' names and releasing the files would be easy. Either Trump lied to the American people or Republicans are engaging in a cover-up, you decide.

Intimidating and slashing NASA’s workforce will have devastating impacts on the U.S. space program as we know it.
A strong NASA is vital to our economic and national security. I’m exploring all avenues as Ranking Member of the Space & Aeronautics Subcommittee to preserve NASA’s workforce.

I am deeply saddened by the news of the floods in Texas, and my heart is with the victims, their loved ones, and the first responders during this difficult time.
Now more than ever, it's imperative that FEMA use its resources to assist recovery efforts.

I urge everyone in the impacted areas to prioritize safety by heeding official notices and avoiding travel on flooded and damaged roads. (2/2)
For the latest updates and alerts, please visit:
Chatham County: chathamcountync.gov
Durham County: alertdurham.com
Orange County: readyorange.org
My heart is heavy seeing the widespread damage across Chatham, Durham, and Orange Counties caused by the flooding from Tropical Depression Chantal.
I’m incredibly thankful for the swift actions of our first responders working tirelessly on recovery efforts. (1/2)
Wishing everyone across #NC04 and the country a happy and safe 4th of July!
Today, as we celebrate our nation's core values of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, let us recommit ourselves to ensuring that every person in America can fully enjoy these fundamental rights.
Republicans have made it clear where their priorities lie: with the top 1%—not working Americans or those in need.
Today, I voted against their tax scam which will gut food assistance and healthcare programs, and raise taxes on the lowest-income households in the country.
Read my full statement.
