September is suicide prevention month. Every life is valuable, and we must do everything we can to make sure everyone has the support they need. If you or someone you know is in crisis, call 988 to speak with an experienced and caring counselor.

RFK Jr.'s policies politicize public health, and they risk people's lives. Doing so with children is shameful. ncnewsline.com/2025/09/17/r...

We all know that housing is a necessity, but lately it's harder and harder to afford. I was proud to bring federal funds to the Hope Village at Method, an affordable housing development for former foster youth. hoodline.com/2025/09/rale...

For months, Trump and Republicans have attacked the services we rely on, including FEMA, the VA, Medicaid, and SNAP. I voted against their partisan shutdown bill. @housedemocrats.bsky.social are ready to work on bipartisan funding bills that protect Americans' healthcare and lower costs.

Voters should be free to choose their representatives, not the other way around. That's why @padilla.senate.gov, @lofgren.house.gov, our colleagues, and I are introducing the Redistricting Reform Act. It's time to make sure that our elected officials truly represent the people.

We can't abandon Western North Carolina. As the one-year anniversary of Helene nears, I called for Congress to pass Governor Stein's request for additional aid and for Trump to cut the red tape keeping federal dollars from WNC.

There's a lot of work left to be done as Western North Carolina rebuilds, and our Congressional delegation is committed to fighting for the federal resources to make it happen. Thanks to Governor Stein for coming to D.C. and telling us where things stand in WNC.

Politicized firings at the FBI threaten the safety and security of Americans. I called out Director Kash Patel for targeting decorated agents and breaking his own promises.

When we fail to invest in our students, we fail to invest in our future. Political attacks on vital NIH grants are limiting opportunity for the next generations of researchers. This will only damage our public health. ncnewsline.com/2025/09/15/n...

Western NC is still waiting for federal relief nearly a year after Hurricane Helene. I fully support Governor Stein's push for federal action. I'll keep urging Congress and the White House to deliver on their promises to help Western North Carolinians.

If you want to get a vaccine, you should be able to. While Trump and RFK Jr. try to limit Americans' access to safe and effective vaccines, I'm glad to see Gov. Stein working to expand access for North Carolinians. www.newsobserver.com/news/politic...

The news of threats of violence against HBCUs across the country is appalling. I'm grateful that as of now no violence has been reported. I expect the FBI and DOJ to thoroughly investigate these threats. Violence has no place in our society.

Healthcare costs are skyrocketing at rates we haven't seen in years. American families are paying more while Republicans continue to give handouts to billionaires. You deserve better.

September 11, 2001 changed this country forever. Twenty-four years later, we remember the lives senselessly cut short, those injured that day, and the people who showed bravery when it mattered most. We stand with the families still grieving and promise to never forget.

Camp Lejeune vets risked their lives to defend our country. They shouldn't have to wait any longer to access justice. It’s shameful that Republican leadership blocked our bipartisan bill to support these brave veterans. We won't stop pushing to pass this bill.

Trump, Noem, and DOGE are slowing down the FEMA approval process, leaving NC towns and counties without recovery funding for months. It's been nearly a year since Helene. Western North Carolinians can't afford these delays. www.newsobserver.com/news/politic...

Insurance premiums are increasing and energy prices are surging thanks to Republicans' Big Ugly Law. They promised to lower costs, but they're only making life more expensive while driving up unemployment.

Trump's Big Ugly Law will threaten NC's Medicaid expansion and raise costs across the state, all while leaving millions without healthcare or nutrition assistance. This is wrong and it will hurt our state. ncnewsline.com/2025/09/05/e...

Are you interested in serving our country and attending one of our nation's premier Service Academies? Join my office at our in-person Service Academy Day on September 20th to learn more about the application process and the experience.

This is what happens when leaders don't take public health seriously. I hope this person gets the treatment they need. RFK and other vaccine skeptics must understand the gravity of their policies. abc11.com/post/wake-co...

For 25 years, Hum Sub has been a cornerstone of cultural exchange in NC, allowing everyone to experience India and creating a community for Indian-Americans in the Triangle. Thank you for inviting me to speak and for hosting the Discover India exhibition.

Shutdowns are bad for everyone. Congress must do its job to keep the government open and working. While @housedemocrats.bsky.social push for a bipartisan solution to prevent a shutdown, Republicans continue to choose chaos instead.

Unemployment is rising. Hiring is at its worst level since 2021. And Trump's reckless tariffs and billionaire tax breaks are raising prices. We can't afford Trump's economy. www.wral.com/story/us-emp...

Politicizing vaccines is dangerous for everyone in our country. We have a responsibility to take care of our community. That means protecting their health. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

Hopscotch is back! If you're free this weekend, check it out for some great music. hopscotchmusicfest.com

Democracy survives when people are willing to stand up for it. Thank you League of Women Voters for always standing up and for inviting me to speak about how we can continue to preserve and strengthen our democracy.

I visited Western NC to see the recovery efforts firsthand. While some areas are still in vital need of resources, I'm glad to see places like Lansing are back in business. Lansing is hosting their town celebration Sept. 27! www.visitnc.com/event/7c6t/l...

Once again, a federal judge ruled that Trump acted illegally. He cannot use the National Guard as his own police force. I'm glad to see the courts upholding our laws despite Trump's efforts to dismantle them. apnews.com/article/trum...

I just signed on to a discharge petition to force a vote on releasing the Epstein Files. Trump and House Republicans can try to block it all they want. The survivors and every other American deserve the truth.

I'm back in D.C. to prevent a Republican shutdown and call for the release of the Epstein Files.

There's no argument for Russia's illegal invasion. Trump needs to finally hold Putin accountable and make clear the US will never reward unwarranted aggression. apnews.com/article/russ...

Inflation is up. Tariffs are raising prices. Trump's Big Ugly Law is giving tax breaks to billionaires while stripping healthcare from millions of Americans. No wonder Republicans spent August hiding from their constituents and trying to gerrymander maps to stay in power.

This Labor Day, we honor the dignity and work of the people who make our country strong. Let's keep working for fair pay, safe workplaces, and opportunities for every worker in North Carolina and beyond.

Medicaid is a vital lifeline for rural North Carolinians, and Republican cuts to Medicaid threaten them and the hospitals they rely on. carolinapublicpress.org/72319/teache...

Republicans knowingly voted for this. They voted for as many as 850,000 children in NC to go without adequate nutrition assistance. It's cruel and it's shameful, and I'll do everything I can to get this funding back. www.newsobserver.com/news/local/e...

Trump and his cronies are waging an all-out war on women, using the federal government to strip away our rights and our healthcare. They aren't backing down and neither can we. I joined Free and Just to call out their attacks and tell NC women that we will always fight for them.

I'm in Western NC to see the rebuilding efforts firsthand as we near the one-year anniversary of Hurricane Helene. First stop: Grandfather Mountain

Over 180 FEMA employees warned the Trump administration is sending the agency “back to a pre-Katrina era.” Putting them on leave for speaking out is reckless. Silencing experts undermines safety when our communities need FEMA most.

The Congressional App Challenge is a great opportunity for students to expand their coding skills and showcase their creativity. @foushee.house.gov and I are hosting an informational session. Register using the link by Monday, Sept. 1! bit.ly/Jumpstarter2...

Too many victims and families impacted by Camp Lejeune's toxic water are still waiting for justice. There have been over 400,000 claims filed and fewer than 1,000 resolved. That's why I joined Rep. Murphy in introducing legislation to speed up settlements and reach justice.

Ahead of Labor Day, @foushee.house.gov and I showed our support for local unions and laborers 💪

I’m devastated by the horrific shooting in Minneapolis. Two children’s lives were taken and so many more are hurting. My heart is with the families and communities grieving today. No parent should send their child to school and not see them come home.

Our veterans deserve our utmost gratitude and support. But so far, Trump has worked to weaken VA, cut funding, and fire vital staff. I hosted a town hall with veterans in Raleigh to discuss my work for veterans in Congress and hear how I can best serve them.

Most Americans pay about 30% of their income in taxes. The wealthiest 400 Americans? Only 24%. And the billionaire tax breaks in Trump's Big Ugly Bill will only make this disparity worse. thehill.com/business/546...

On Women's Equality Day, we honor the trailblazers who fought for women's right to vote and recognize the work still ahead to achieve true equality. The best way to honor them is to keep working to expand opportunity for women in North Carolina and across the nation.

The federal government has a duty to protect Americans from scammers and fraudsters, but Trump is purposefully gutting the agency in charge of doing just that. indyweek.com/news/nc-offi...

Donald Trump's plan to ban mail-in voting is another attempt to silence North Carolinians. Mail-in voting is safe and essential for servicemembers, seniors, working families, and rural voters. www.notus.org/north-caroli...

Wake County students are back in school today as Trump's reckless tariffs and inflation force teachers and parents to pay more for essential school supplies. indyweek.com/news/northca...

I was grateful to join Secretary Marshall, former CFPB Director @choprausa.bsky.social, and advocates to discuss how we can protect North Carolinians from scams and predatory practices at a time when Trump's admin is making it easier for scammers and bad actors to take advantage of NC families.

Trump’s cuts to NIH research are bad for public health and important research.    They’d also devastate the Triangle’s economy and provide a gift to China. www.wral.com/story/triang...
