Congratulations to all the high school seniors across #NC04 who graduated over the weekend! The future ahead is full of possibilities, and I wish you all success and prosperity as you move on to your next adventure.
I am heartbroken by the shooting of Minnesota lawmakers Melissa Hortman, John Hoffman, and their spouses in an unthinkable act of political violence. These attacks have no place in our country. I am grateful for law enforcement's quick response, and my heart is with the victim's loved ones.
Happy Father's Day to all of the incredible fathers and father-figures of North Carolina's Fourth District—including my wonderful husband, Stan, and my two sons, Stanley and Terrence! Thank you for all that you do, and I wish you all an amazing day with your loved ones.
It was great meeting with Legal Aid of NC to discuss their critical work across our state, including the support they provide for communities during disaster recovery. The GOP’s efforts to cut legal aid funding threaten justice for underserved communities—Congress must protect these vital services.
I had the pleasure of speaking at the Global Blockchain Business Council’s DC conference about the importance of responsible AI. As Republicans try to pass a 10-year moratorium on state-level AI regulations, I’m fighting for guardrails to protect our communities & ensure equitable and secure usage.
Congratulations to #NC04 Congressional Award Gold Medalists Fletcher Yost & Angela Li from East Chapel Hill HS! This achievement is the highest honor given by Congress to young people, & I'm proud to see the next generation of our local leaders recognized for their community engagement and service.
Today marks 9 years since 49 lives were taken in a mass shooting at Pulse Nightclub in Orlando, Florida. Alongside the @equality.house.gov, I am dedicated to honoring the victims of the Pulse shooting by advancing pro-equality legislation so all people can live free from violence.
The GOP is trying to slash funding for critical programs around the world, after having just added trillions to our debt with their Big, Ugly Bill. Today, I was proud to vote against this rescissions package which cuts essential funding for foreign aid, the State Department, NPR, and PBS.
Women have long answered the call to serve with unmatched bravery & it's time we recognize their invaluable contributions. To honor the Women's Armed Services Integration Act's anniversary, I introduced a resolution marking today as Women Veterans Recognition Day. foushee.house.gov/media/press-...
58 years ago today, SCOTUS unanimously struck down laws banning interracial marriage in the landmark case, Loving v. Virginia. Today, on #LovingDay, we celebrate that love has no boundaries and does not discriminate based on race, sexual orientation, or gender identity.
I spoke on the House floor to oppose Trump's rescissions request which includes an $8.2 billion cut to USAID. Many North Carolinians have lost their jobs from this administration’s attacks on USAID, and this cut would further devastate an agency that is vital to our economy and saves lives.
It was great meeting with the National Black Caucus of State Legislators to discuss funding for HBCUs, access to healthcare and medication, and reliable pathways to homeownership. Thank you for all that you do for our underserved communities, and I look forward to our continued collaboration.
The GOP is still trying to pass their tax package that will strip health care coverage from millions of Americans. Over 600,000 people in NC alone will lose their health insurance. I'll say it again: Trump's Big, Ugly Bill puts lives at risk.
Despite transforming lives and communities across the nation for the last 13 years, #DACA remains under attack in the courts. Dreamers are key parts of our nation, and it's long past time that we provide them with the permanent protections they deserve. #HomeIsHere.
TOMORROW: My office is holding Mobile Office Hours at the Chatham County Historic Courthouse on June 11th from 11AM to 1PM. If you’re experiencing issues with a federal agency, come by to speak with a member of my constituent services team—we’re here to help you!
Trump's deployment of the National Guard to Los Angeles is escalating tensions and is an attack on the rule of law. This unconstitutional deployment of our armed forces puts lives at risk and is another page out of Trump's authoritarian playbook—Congress can't stand for it.
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass on Monday railed against the Trump administration’s unilateral deployment of the National Guard. “We didn’t need the National Guard,” Bass said. “Why on earth? What are they going to do?” wapo.st/3ZphBGl
62 years ago, the Equal Pay Act was signed into law to prohibit sex-based wage discrimination nationwide. Today, women continue to earn just 83 cents for every dollar a man earns. It’s time for Congress to take steps to close the pay gap and ensure fair wages for all.
