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.

Trump's EO to dismantle @usedgov.bsky.social undermines the foundation of public education in our country. I hosted a roundtable with local school district superintendents to discuss the long-term impacts on students, faculty, and schools if the department ceased to exist in its current form.
It was great visiting Randy’s Five Star Academy to discuss the importance of Head Start and childcare programs. The Trump Administration is stripping funding from centers like these that provide support to local working families and a safe space for children to learn and grow. It's just heartless.
Sixty years ago, following Bloody Sunday, thousands of heroic civil rights activists began their march from Selma to Montgomery to fight for voting rights. Their bravery led to the Voting Rights Act of 1965, and we honor their legacy by continuing to fight against voter suppression.
I stand with NASA employees, who are being villainized across the board by this Administration and facing threats of unjustified layoffs. I'm proud to introduce the Saving NASA's Workforce Act with Ranking Member Lofgren to prevent these workforce reductions. foushee.house.gov/media/press-...
