Can Trump actually accept the “flying palace” from Qatar? Definitely not. Ranking Member of @democrats-judiciary.house.gov, Professor @raskin.house.gov, busts out the Constitution in this edition of “Is this sh*t legal?”

Raleigh's Little Blue Bakehouse is an anchor of the community, serving not only sweets but opportunity for early-stage food entrepreneurs. I stopped by to discuss cuts to nutrition assistance and how reckless tariffs are harming their businesses.

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govMay 31(source)

Trump overstepped. Again. The law is clear: Presidents do not have unilateral control over tariffs. We've seen Republican appointed judges agree, and I expect more judges to agree as well.

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govMay 30(source)

Hurricane season starts this week, and FEMA's disaster fund is running out. That's why I'm urging Trump to keep his promise and maintain emergency funding for North Carolina.

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govMay 29(source)

Honoring and supporting our veterans and those in uniform requires coordination at all levels of government. Today, I joined North Carolina Department of Military and VA Secretary Mallette to discuss how we can better support North Carolina's service members, veterans, and their families.

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govMay 28(source)

Communities hit by Hurricane Helene can't afford delays in recovery funding. With just a month before federal disaster aid runs out, I called on Trump to keep his promise and provide emergency funding for North Carolina.

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govMay 27(source)

The State Department has paused student visa appointments with no clear timeline or plan. This is a direct threat to the brilliant young people who want to study here, and to schools that rely on these students to thrive. We should be welcoming talent, not driving it away.

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govMay 27(source)

We must follow the science and make sure everyone has access to the appropriate care they need. As Trump and RFK Jr. seek to alter public health guidance, I joined my former colleagues from the COVID Committee to push back on the FDA's new vaccine policy.

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govMay 27(source)

In the afternoon I visited Cary to attend a ceremony honoring our fallen veterans. Thank you for hosting this moving tribute.

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govMay 26(source)

This morning, I attended the Garner Memorial Day Observance to meet with veterans and honor those who lost their lives while serving our nation. Garner honors our service members every day.

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govMay 26(source)

This Memorial Day, I join all North Carolinians in remembering the heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice. Their service, courage, and devotion to our nation will never be forgotten.

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govMay 25(source)

The Republican budget would strip health care from thousands of North Carolinians. If passed, it would harm our people and permanently shut down rural hospitals.

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govMay 24(source)

How bad is the Republican budget? 1.4 million North Carolinians, including children and the elderly, will struggle with food access. And that's just one part of their plan. I'm proud to have voted no, and I will never vote for their cuts to nutrition assistance.

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govMay 23(source)

Trump and RFK Jr's decision to cut staff investigating toxic exposure at Poe Hall put our people in danger. I called on them to resume the investigation, and I'm glad to announce it has resumed. We must protect the health and safety of North Carolinians.

This week, Republicans tried to jam through their tax scam in the dead of night. Democrats fought back to expose this bill's cuts to Medicaid and SNAP. In today’s Democratic Daily Download, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social explains how we will keep standing up for hardworking American taxpayers.

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govMay 23(source)

Ahead of Memorial Day Weekend, I stopped by Raleigh National Cemetery to pay my respects to our brave service members who lost their lives in the line of duty. I also took a moment to honor Raleigh's own Millie Dunn Veasey, who served our country honorably during WWII.

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govMay 22(source)

House Republicans passed a bill to gut funding for Medicaid for more than 13 million Americans and food assistance for 16 million children. But this is just the beginning. Now, the bill heads to the Senate. We will keep up the fight to protect Americans from the GOP tax scam.

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govMay 22(source)

Wake County - Thank you for showing up last night! It was a long night fighting for North Carolinians, but I was glad to start it off by speaking with 5,500 constituents at my Telephone Town Hall. Thank you to Rep. John Larson for joining.

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govMay 22(source)

There is no place for hateful, antisemitic violence in our country. My thoughts are with the victims of last night's horrific attack, their families, their loved ones, and everyone shaken by this tragedy.

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govMay 22(source)

House Republicans have officially done the unthinkable. Their budget is so cruel and so extreme that it will strip children and seniors of their health care and food assistance in order to pay for tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans.
