Summer break means fun for kids, but it also means thousands of Wake County children lose access to school meals they rely on. I held a roundtable with public servants, food banks, and nonprofits to discuss Republicans’ recent cuts to food assistance and how to fight hunger.

🚨A judge blocked the release of any dollars from Trump’s $1.7+ billion anti-weaponization slush fund while a lawsuit against it plays out. Our courts cannot be bulldozed by this administration. This is a win — for now — against blatant corruption. Let’s keep fighting.

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

Trump's $1.7 billion plus slush fund is corruption at its most obvious: using your taxpayer dollars to reward the President's allies, including Jan 6th rioters convicted of attacking law enforcement. I have yet to speak to anyone - Republican or Democrat - in favor of this.

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

Republicans seem to have just learned what an informant is. And apparently haven't seen the movie BlacKkKlansman. The SPLC has used informants for years to take down hate groups from the inside. Now, Republicans are acting as if this concept is new to smear their work.

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

A meaningful Memorial Day spent in Garner, Cary, and Rolesville honoring North Carolina’s fallen soldiers. Today, we pause to remember the bravery of those who died for our democracy and pledge to carry their memory forward.

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

"It is, quite simply, a scam." Echoing @RepRaskin's words here. Americans' hard-earned money shouldn't go to Trump's allies and violent insurrectionists. That's why we've introduced a bill banning any taxpayer dollars from going to January 6 rioters. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/22/o...

Opinion | There’s a Way to Stop Trump’s I.R.S. Slush Fund

My statement on this morning's shooting near the Wake County Courthouse:

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govMay 21(source)

Independent musicians are largely powerless to negotiate fair prices for their work from AI and streaming platforms. My bill, the Protect Working Musicians Act, allows independent artists to band together to negotiate fair compensation for their work. www.billboard.com/pro/new-fede...

New Federal Music Law Would Let Indie Artists Team Up Against AI & Streaming: ‘Level The Playing Field’

A new proposed federal law would allow independent musicians to team up to collectively negotiate licenses with AI companies and streaming platforms.

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govMay 21(source)

Trump’s DOJ has accused the Southern Poverty Law Center of funding hate. It's absurd, especially while this admin is set to pay out violent rioters with our tax dollars. The SPLC fought the KKK and defended our voting rights in NC. These charges are ridiculous and un-American.

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govMay 20(source)

You may have heard about Trump's $1.7 billion dollar "slush fund." Here's what that means, and why it's so corrupt:

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govMay 20(source)

Trump said he “doesn’t think about Americans’ financial situations" when it comes to the war in Iran. We didn't need Trump to tell us that he doesn't think about the American people: he launched an illegal war knowing it would drive up prices. It was already crystal clear.

Trump says he isn’t thinking about economy in Iran war. How is NC affected?

President Donald Trump told reporters this week that he isn’t thinking about the effect the Iran war is having on Americans’ wallets. How is the war affecting North Carolinians?

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govMay 18(source)

Trump’s DOJ announced a $1.7B slush fund to pay his allies, including Jan 6 rioters. I signed onto an amicus brief to fight this corruption. This is the one guarantee of this administration: if you suck up to Trump, if you commit crimes in his name, you will be rewarded. apnews.com/article/trum...

Justice Department announces a $1.7B fund to compensate Trump allies in a deal to drop IRS suit

The Trump administration has announced the creation a $1.7 billion fund to compensate allies of the Republican president who believe they were mistreated by the Biden-era Justice Department.

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govMay 18(source)

On Tamil Genocide Remembrance Day, I'm joining the Tamil people around the world in mourning the lives tragically taken during Sri Lanka's decades-long Civil War. Today and every day, we must recognize this tragedy and seek justice for the victims and their families.

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govMay 18(source)

"Same fight. New generation." The voices of black voters are being silenced by Republicans in the South. Unfortunately, this isn’t new in North Carolina. We cannot give up until we have banned gerrymandering nationwide. www.cbs19news.com/news/supreme...

Supreme Court voting rights ruling fuels a new push to defend Black representation

A new generation of civil rights leaders is rallying against efforts to dismantle the Voting Rights Act. NAACP President Derrick Johnson emphasizes the urgency of responding to these challenges. On

ICE has taken up a tactic of detaining immigrants who report crimes. It's causing violent criminals to go free, and victims are scared to report crimes. ICE's inhumane tactics are making our country less safe.

Reposted byRepresentative Deborah Ross

House Judiciary Dems@democrats-judiciary.house.govMay 14(source)

Immigrants who are victims of crime are less likely to report it or testify out of fear of being detained. @ross.house.gov on how the Trump Administration’s reckless immigration policies have made it harder to prosecute criminals:

I guess this is what it looks like when Republicans control Washington…

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govMay 13(source)

If Republicans were serious about honoring law enforcement during National Police Week, they wouldn't let Trump pay off the people who beat up law enforcement on January 6th. Trump calls these convicted criminals ‘patriots’ and gave them a blanket pardon. Now he wants to give them taxpayer dollars.

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govMay 13(source)

Over 50K people apply for law enforcement jobs a year, which includes a background check. Yet officers can get hired who shouldn't be: current law blocks key hiring agencies from accessing federal criminal history. The solution is simple: Give the agencies access to this info.

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govMay 12(source)

My bipartisan bill w/ Rep. Derek Schmidt just passed the House unanimously. The bill grants access to federal criminal records to agencies training + hiring new law enforcement officers. It's a commonsense solution that will strengthen public safety. A reminder that Congress can get things done.
