HASC and SS&T Democrats are demanding answers from the Pentagon and NASA to questions about potential conflicts of interest regarding SpaceX contracts and CEO Elon Musk serving on DOGE and allegations of SpaceX covering up Chinese investments.

Republicans say gun violence is purely a mental health issue, so why are they cutting school mental health programs?
We need to fight gun violence from all angles, including vital mental health support programs— this funding must be restored immediately.

May is Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month!
I’m proud to represent a vibrant #AANHPI community in North Carolina’s Fourth District—and as a member of @capac.house.gov, I’ll always fight to uplift their voices, history, and contributions to our country.
Trump has cancelled $20 million in NSF grants for North Carolina, with #NC04 facing among the most cuts of any district.
These cuts will lead to job losses in my district and sets us behind in critical research efforts—I'm exploring all avenues to fight back.

Trump's lack of direction for the DOE Loan Program Office threatens our ability to meet our communities' current and future energy production demands.
At this week's Science Committee hearing, I asked experts about the importance of using this office to support domestic R&D.

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.

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.
Unsurprisingly, Republicans voted it down in another surrender of Congressional authority to this administration. (2/2)

At this week's @transportdems.bsky.social hearing, I offered an amendment to prevent the stripping of @usdot.bsky.social grants from North Carolina, like the $1.1B for the Raleigh-Richmond S-Line. (1/2)
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.
100 days of Trump means 100 days of rights being stripped from Americans, 100 days of threats to benefit programs, 100 days of mindless job cuts that threaten our local communities in North Carolina, and more.
No one wants this. Trump is hurting our state and our country.

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.

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:
