Let's be clear: Trump's budget cuts billions of dollars to FEMA, the NIH, foreign aid, housing, farming, food assistance programs, and more. This drastic proposal will stifle our state's growth and emergency responsiveness while raising costs for families. www.politico.com/news/2025/05...
North Carolina's universities are feeling the effects of Trump's cuts, with critical programs and initiatives being threatened across the board. UNC Chapel Hill Chancellor Roberts and I met this week to discuss ways to minimize program cuts and follow through on efforts to expand student housing.
It was great to join @bipartisanpolicy.org to discuss the economic impacts of how AI is reaching communities and reshaping the future of work. Having served on the House AI Task Force, I believe the voices of communities and workers should be central in the development of AI systems.
Pro tip: firing veterans, crashing the economy, and destroying Medicare to carve out tax cuts for billionaires doesn't help your approval rating. People are tired of the higher costs, unmitigated chaos, and corruption that Republicans keep rubber stamping. abcnews.go.com/Politics/tru...
As a member of the @equality.house.gov, I’m fighting for LGBTQI+ equality every day in Congress. That’s why I’m proud to cosponsor the #EqualityAct— EVERY American deserves equal protection under law, and I’m committed to making sure that happens.
It was an honor to speak at the ribbon cutting ceremony for EmPOWERment Inc.'s PEACH Apartments. As someone who grew up in the Pine Knolls neighborhood, it is especially meaningful that this new affordable housing development honors our community roots & promotes housing access for local residents.
It was great meeting with Bike Durham to discuss ways that Congress can support and promote the use of public transit and environmentally-friendly transportation. As a member of the T&I Committee, I'm committed to ensuring and expanding safe transportation infrastructure within our communities.
It was a pleasure to meet with @durhamcounty.bsky.social Manager Claudia Hager this week. As this administration threatens essential federal programs, I remain committed to our continued collaboration to ensure that working families throughout Durham County receive the support they deserve.
Yesterday, I hosted a roundtable with @frost.house.gov and local international development orgs who have been impacted by the Trump Admin’s efforts to dismantle USAID. Eliminating USAID will have widespread repercussions—Congress must protect this vital agency and our dedicated foreign aid workers.
Thank you to all the talented students across #NC04 who participated in this year’s Congressional Art Competition! Congratulations to this year’s winners: 🥇 Junho Lee, Green Level High 🥈 Seojin Lee, Green Level High 🥉 Charis Choy, Green Hope High
Thank you to everyone who joined my Town Hall in Chatham last night! I appreciate those who came out to ask their questions and make their voices heard. Through these challenging times, I will never stop fighting for our community.
Yesterday, I met with GoTriangle CEO Smith to discuss this Administration’s attempts to strip funding from our local transportation authority’s projects. As a member of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, we’re exploring all avenues in Congress to restore this critical funding.
#EarthDay is a time to band together to insist on a government that protects our planet. Democrats know we are out of time for denialism and political games, and we will not allow Trump to gut environmental and public health protections that ensure clean air and water for all.
I join the millions around the world in mourning the passing of Pope Francis. Pope Francis was a moral and visionary leader who challenged us to always treat others with compassion and care. May he rest in eternal peace.
