My district is home to the largest EPA campus in the country and these proposed cuts could impact R&D employees here in NC. I'm working with my colleagues to pursue all legislative avenues to block these constitutionally dubious cuts to our workforce. (2/2) foushee.house.gov/media/press-...
Great news! GE Aerospace is investing $16 million to upgrade its local manufacturing facility in Durham. I met with their team to discuss plans to expand their Durham plant, which will help create good-paying jobs in NC-04 and innovate the new parts needed for the future of flight.
The arrest and detention of Mahmoud Khalil is a brazen attempt to silence those who disagree with the President & is an alarming attack on free speech & democratic rights. I joined over 100 House Democrats in demanding answers from the Trump Administration on his detention & attempted deportation.
This is heartless. Programs that help farmers sell food to local schools are a win-win: kids can have fresh food while farmers maintain a steady demand. Cutting these programs will place a $660M burden on schools across the country when many are already struggling. www.cbsnews.com/news/usda-ca...
Every person has the right to choose their health providers without interference. I’m proud to join 237 of my colleagues in filing a bicameral amicus brief to defend the rights of millions of Medicaid patients who depend on Planned Parenthood for essential health services and care.
The Republican CR gives a blank check to Donald Trump & Elon Musk. Cloture is our legislative leverage to get Republicans to work towards a bipartisan budget bill. Voting for cloture is a vote to pass the partisan GOP funding bill. Senate Democrats must stand up for the American people and vote no.
I’m heartbroken to hear of the passing of Congressman Raúl Grijalva. He was a true champion and fighter for working families in Arizona throughout his life and time in Congress. He will be missed, and my heart is with his family and loved ones during this difficult time.
It was great meeting with the National League of Cities to discuss how Congress can further support housing, infrastructure, and safety initiatives. Thank you for your continued dedication to our communities, and I look forward to our continued collaboration in the weeks and months ahead.
U.S.-led industrial innovation is paving the way to make meaningful emissions reductions and create good-paying jobs. I’m proud to reintroduce the IMPACT Act 2.0 with Congressman Max Miller to bolster low-emissions concrete and asphalt production and boost demand for these materials.
My district is home to the largest EPA campus which employs over 2,000 federal workers. Any cuts to the agency would leave these civil servants & critical environmental protection efforts in disarray. I led a letter with 100+ of my colleagues demanding an immediate reversal of these planned cuts.
House Democrats are united and stand ready to pass a four-week funding extension. I am willing to vote on a clean, short-term CR that doesn’t include harmful cuts, keeps the government open, and allows Congress to reach a bipartisan agreement.
It was wonderful meeting with the NC League of Municipalities to discuss local infrastructure funding and the need for further disaster relief for NC. Thank you for all that you do for our communities, and I look forward to continuing our work to address critical issues facing the Fourth District.
Today, I stand with our children, students, working families, and the agency employees who were senselessly fired. As a cosponsor of the Department of Education Protection Act, I will continue to explore every avenue possible to safeguard this critical federal agency. (5/5)
The effects of these cuts will be felt in every community across the country. Over 26 million students could lose access to critical funding to help them get ahead, while 10 million students from lower-income families could lose access to two- and four-year colleges due to cost. (4/5)
This agency also helps ensure that no students with disabilities are left behind, through the Office of Special Education Programs and Section 504. Without @usedgov.bsky.social, our efforts to support these 7.5 million students nationwide would be severely impacted. (3/5)
