The slashing of 10,000 jobs from the HHS includes cuts to departments that tackle HIV, improve minority health, and respond to infectious diseases. This puts the public health of our nation at risk, and I support NC AG Jackson's lawsuit to reverse these cuts. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...
Yesterday was not “Liberation Day”, it was Recession Day. Trump's reckless actions are raising costs for families, increasing inflation, and devastating the stock market. Democrats will keep fighting to reverse these tariffs and deliver an economy that works for all Americans, not just the rich.
Black Americans make up 25% of Social Security recipients, and any cuts to the program would devastate our communities. I joined my Congressional Black Caucus colleagues in standing against Republicans’ attempts to cut Social Security and highlight its impact on the Black community nationwide.
This week, Durham’s own Jessica Berryman was honored by @demwomencaucus.bsky.social for her many years of advocacy on essential policies that women and families depend on. I sat down with Jessica to learn more about her work and to thank her for her dedication to the betterment of our community.
Since Trump took office, women across the country are feeling increasingly marginalized & vulnerable. Yesterday, on the last day of Women’s History Month, I spoke out on the House floor against the GOP’s attempts to undermine our rights, healthcare access, & opportunities for equality.
While Trump and the GOP try to erase trans people, I’m proud to stand with my colleagues in the @equality.house.gov as we celebrate #TransDayOfVisibility. Trans people deserve the freedom to live openly, make their own medical decisions, and be protected under the law.
Three years ago today, President Biden signed the Emmett Till Antilynching Act into law, designating lynching as a federal hate crime. As efforts to erase Black history persist, we must continue to share stories like the one of Emmett Till, and honor their lives with action.
It was great meeting with the Hispanic Federation to discuss how Congress can elevate education and economic empowerment for Hispanic communities across the country. I appreciate your tireless work and advocacy for our Hispanic community in #NC04.
I had the pleasure of meeting with Bill Nye & the Planetary Society this week to discuss ways to advance our space program. Trump is trying to cut NASA funding, and as Ranking Member of the Space & Aeronautics Subcommittee, I will keep fighting to advance space exploration & scientific research.
It was great meeting with RDU Airport CEO Michael Landguth to discuss recent updates to the airport and ways to maintain air traffic safety. As a member of the Aviation Subcommittee, I'm always proud to support this major transportation hub that serves millions of passengers throughout our state.
#NC04 is home to the largest EPA facility in the country, including hundreds of scientists at the Office of R&D that Trump is trying to fire. I led a letter alongside @repgreglandsman.bsky.social and 60 of my Democrat colleagues demanding an immediate reversal of plans to cut funding at ORD.
As a member of the Aviation Subcommittee, it was a pleasure to meet with RDU air traffic controllers to discuss staffing and how to improve flight safety. Trump looks at aviation accidents and blames it on these workers, but I say let's get them the support and coverage they need.
Libraries and museums are not only vital information hubs, but they offer a space for learning, gathering, & growth. Trump’s executive order stripping these invaluable resources from the American public is deeply troubling, & I will do everything in my power to protect these essential institutions.
I had the pleasure of celebrating 112 years of @dstinc1913.bsky.social with my sorors in Washington yesterday! Everyday, we work to continue the Delta Sigma Theta legacy of sisterhood, scholarship, service, and social action.
Pete Hegseth and top Trump officials transmitted classified info via an unsecure messaging app, jeopardizing national security and risking the lives of our servicemembers. They must be held accountable for this dangerous security breach. Hegseth needs to resign, as does everyone else in that chat.
