The NSF is under siege by anti-science politicians who are cancelling important scientific research in the name of political censorship. My Democrat colleagues on the Science Committee and I wrote to Acting Director Stone with a simple question: who is in charge here, actual scientists or DOGE?

Republicans are putting the final touches on their plan to cut Medicaid and food assistance by $1 trillion at today's @energycommerce.bsky.social markup. Americans can't afford this budget. We're calling on just 4 Republicans to stand up for what is right & join us in stopping this reckless scheme.

An estimated 6 million Americans have an unruptured brain aneurysm, but funding for research surrounding this condition has been inadequate. I was proud to meet with the Brain Aneurysm Foundation and the family of Ellie Helton as we work to pass Ellie's Law and bolster research & treatment efforts.

It was great meeting with ACLU NC Executive Director Chantal Stevens to discuss community safety and crime prevention initiatives. Although Republicans control Congress, I'm looking at every route possible to pass bipartisan legislation to make our communities safer.
