Canada is North Carolina's #1 export market. We send billions of dollars in goods to Canada annually. These proposed tariffs will hurt our healthcare industry, manufacturing, farmers, and consumers.

Behind the Scenes: I hosted a roundtable discussion to hear from residents of #NC02 who would be impacted by the Republican plan to cut Medicaid. Trump wants to cut essential, life-saving funding to pass tax breaks for billionaires and corporations.

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govMar 2(source)

My team has launched a webpage with resources for those impacted by President Trump's federal funding freeze and mass layoffs. No one should have to navigate this alone. We will be periodically updating this page with more information. ross.house.gov/resources-fo...

The behavior of Trump & Vance was a complete disgrace and represents a sad day for America. President Zelensky continues to show remarkable strength and dignity under exceptionally difficult circumstances.

Vance: I think it's disrespectful for you to come to the Oval Office to try to litigate this in front of the American media...You should be thanking the president... Zelenskyy: Have you ever been to Ukraine?... Vance: I know what happens is you bring people, you bring them on a propaganda tour...

North Carolinians are no stranger to devastation caused by extreme weather. We know how critical NOAA is to accurate weather forecasting and storm monitoring. Mass firings at NOAA are unacceptable and will endanger our state and our country.

BREAKING: The mass firing of upwards of 1,800 workers at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, including top climate scientists and weather forecasters, has begun. The firings reportedly include workers at the National Weather Service.

Elon Musk is canceling a government contract that could ultimately benefit him. He has full access to private information about his competitors and the President, yet he still refuses to disclose his assets and comply with ethics laws. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

FAA targeting Verizon contract in favor of Musk’s Starlink, sources say

Turning the $2.4 billion project over to Musk’s company would be a major test of conflict-of-interest rules in government contracting.

Reporter: Veterans make up 30% of the federal workforce? Are you tracking how many veterans have been fired so far? Trump: Yes we are. We take good care of our veterans

Cutting Social Security staff threatens the retirement benefits of every single American. Trump and Musk's reckless plan to fire half the staff focused on Social Security delivery will cause delay, disruption, and denial of benefits. www.newsweek.com/social-secur...

The reports on Wednesday evening said that staffing numbers would be slashed, including at field offices.

Nearly 6,000 veterans, including some who work for VA, have been fired by President Trump and Elon Musk. The men and women who served our country and serve our veterans deserve better.

House Republicans are taking health care from kids, parents, and seniors to give huge tax breaks to billionaires and corporations. Here are the numbers on what this budget means for everyone in #NC02.

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

Every day and in every way, @housedemocrats.bsky.social will stand up for the American people. I voted against the Republican budget that would take away their health care to provide tax cuts to billionaires. My full statement ⬇️

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

The proposed Republican budget would devastate people who rely on Medicaid, Head Start, SNAP, and so much more. Here is just a small list of some of the things being gutted for NC02:
