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.
It was an honor to attend the opening of the Drakeford Library Complex! At a time when educational institutions, libraries, and information centers nationwide are under attack, I’m proud to see our community taking steps to promote collectiveness, literacy, and lifelong learning.
It was an honor to join the Town of Carrboro's legislative breakfast to discuss topics ranging from local priorities to the actions of the Trump Administration and the local impacts. During these times of uncertainty, I look forward to our continued partnership to strengthen our local community.
The Minority Business Development Agency has helped countless diverse, minority-owned businesses succeed and thrive. Trump's executive order targeting this agency is another misguided attempt to roll back DEI and the economic impacts will be felt across the country. www.msnbc.com/top-stories/...
The gender wage gap in the United States has widened with women making only 75 cents for every dollar a man makes—and this gap is even worse for moms & women of color. Women deserve better. My @demwomencaucus.bsky.social colleagues and I won’t stop fighting until we close the gap once and for all.
I am pleased that my & Rep. Max Miller's bill, the IMPACT Act, passed through the House today. This bipartisan bill will take significant strides in reducing harmful emissions & spur U.S.-led innovation in the manufacturing of cement, concrete, & asphalt.
