The Voting Rights Act was signed into law after a history of suppressing the votes of Black Americans in the South.
Despite our nation's progress, Jim Crow-style voter suppression is still here: our state legislature, SCOTUS, & the President have undermined the right to vote.
The fight continues.

ICYMI: ICE announced plans for a new immigrant detention facility at a problematic prison in Eastern NC. I have called on the Trump admin to cancel these plans immediately.
This admin continues to violate the safety and human dignity of immigrants. We can't let them expand this abuse in our state.
Join me this Thursday for an in-person Town Hall in North Raleigh!
This is a crucial moment for our country, and I want to talk with you about what's at stake for the people of North Carolina and how we can work together to stand up for our community.

Any veteran struggling with opioid addiction should receive treatment as soon as they're ready. But too often, distance or long waits for care stand in the way.
My bipartisan bill with Rep. Davis & Rep. Carol Miller will connect veterans with virtual treatment providers.
The BOP changed its policy to allow the Attorney General to reward allies with cushy prison placements or punish enemies with harsher conditions.
I spoke to The Bulwark about Todd Blanche's attempt to cover his tracks on Ghislaine Maxwell's transfer to Club Fed.

I will not stop fighting until we pass the Ensuring Justice for Camp Lejeune Victims Act to deliver the full compensation they're owed.

As someone who worked for decades to improve NC's criminal justice system, I've seen firsthand how DNA testing can deliver justice and even exonerate the innocent.
I'm proud to have secured $500,000 in federal funding for Wake County's new DNA lab, which is now open.

For 61 years, Medicare and Medicaid have been lifelines. But they face unprecedented attacks.
This admin cut Medicaid for 15 million Americans to fund tax cuts for the rich. Now, they're ending a critical Medicare subsidy program.
We cannot abandon Americans in their most vulnerable moments.
Republicans want us to give this admin the benefit of the doubt on their new bill that criminalizes any child who overstays their visa.
I won't standby giving unchecked power to an admin that has repeatedly violated the law.
I led a roundtable to discuss how this admin harmed higher education by changing student loan rules.
Trump’s policies are hurting the future teachers, healthcare workers, business leaders, & more that Wake County needs.
I'll keep fighting to make sure higher ed remains a pathway to opportunity.
I'm fighting in Washington to make life easier for folks in North Carolina. Lately, that looks a lot like fighting against bad policies that do nothing to bring down costs.
Hear more:
This morning, I announced $850,000 in safety improvements to Jones Sausage Road alongside Garner Mayor Gupton, members of the Garner Town Council, key staff and the Garner PD.
This project will help ensure our infrastructure is safe, efficient, and built for the future.
I love going to the farmers market; I know where my food comes from and I pay fair prices that go straight to NC farmers.
But families are struggling to afford groceries, gas, and more because of this admin. With 100 days until Election Day, it's clear we're moving in the wrong direction.
Despite how this admin advertises a new “gold-standard” in science, scientific research is collapsing nationwide.
Trump & his political appointees now want to control ALL grant decisions, risking clinical trials, biotech, & more.
It's a cheap cover-up of their costly threats to science.
A new Republican bill would make any child who overstays their visa a criminal--even if they're with a parent or don't have the ability to leave on their own.
This isn't about safety. This is about hurting immigrant children. @raskin.house.gov and I explain:
My statement on House Republicans’ Partisan NDAA:
House Republicans want to pass an immigration bill that would criminalize children—even toddlers— who overstay their visas.
We can't trust this admin to treat children humanely or follow the law as is. Why would we trust them with a new law that could damage more kids?
NEW: I launched an investigation w/ Rep. Valerie Foushee + @adams.house.gov into Duke Energy's settlement with the Trump admin to abandon an offshore wind project off the NC coast in exchange for a payout.
We will get answers.

I'm devastated to lose another Fort Bragg soldier.
My deepest condolences are with the loved ones of Sgt Michael Emmanuel Swinton of Fayetteville as they grieve this unimaginable loss. I'm praying for the safety of all of our servicemembers around the world. My heart goes out to his young children.
