I am proud to share that my office has now returned over $4 million to #NC04 residents through casework! As always, if you’re experiencing issues with a federal agency, don’t hesitate to give my office a call at 919-967-7924.
Last night, Republicans passed Trump's rescissions package that makes devastating cuts to public aid and foreign assistance. This bill hurts our communities here in NC and sets back efforts to fight deadly diseases worldwide. I proudly voted no, and will fight to restore this funding.
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)
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.
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)
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.
At least 2,145 senior-ranking NASA employees are set to leave as part of a push to reduce staff.
🚨As recovery efforts continue across Central NC, emergency shelters are now open in both Durham and Orange Counties for any displaced individuals and families: 📍Emmanuel AME Church 2018 Riddle Road Durham, NC 27713 📍Smith Middle School 9201 Seawell School Rd Chapel Hill, NC 27516
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. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...
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)
