[email protected] are still fighting to ensure everyone can have access to quality, affordable healthcare. Yesterday, I signed a discharge petition to force a vote on extending the ACA tax credits to keep healthcare affordable for millions of Americans. thehill.com/homenews/hou...

A Continuing Resolution that allows people to lose their healthcare isn't a 'clean bill'. I voted against the GOP's budget bill that doesn't address rising healthcare costs and puts the healthcare of hundreds of thousands of North Carolinians at risk. Read my full statement.

Today, I joined @housedemocrats.bsky.social in welcoming Republicans back from their 7-week paid vacation. We've been in D.C. fighting to pass legislation that lowers the cost of living and the cost of healthcare, and we don't plan on stopping anytime soon.

Thank you to all the #NC04 veterans who joined my Congressional Veterans Briefing this week! Our veterans have sacrificed so much to safeguard our democracy, and I'll never stop fighting to ensure they receive the benefits and government support they have earned and deserve.

As the spouse of a veteran, I know firsthand the profound sacrifices our servicemembers make to protect our nation's freedom. On #VeteransDay, we honor and celebrate their invaluable service to our country. Thank you today, and every day, for your courage, dedication, and sacrifice.

Given that Speaker Johnson won't promise a vote on lowering healthcare costs, a deal that excludes the ACA tax credits puts the healthcare of over 25,000 people in my district at risk. I'm ready to find a solution to address the healthcare crisis & open the government—but this deal doesn't do that.

The Supreme Court enabling Trump to pause SNAP payments will hurt millions of Americans. This administration is once again showing us exactly who they fight for—and it’s not hungry children, seniors, or working families. (1/3) www.newsfromthestates.com/article/us-s...

I joined former Congresswoman Eva Clayton and the Orange County Dept. of Aging at the Seymour Senior Center to discuss SNAP, the shutdown, and support for our seniors. Protecting SNAP and the health of our seniors isn't just about keeping promises—it’s about strengthening our communities.

Trump is now appealing a court ruling that would require this Administration to pay November SNAP benefits in full. The GOP's insistence on making SNAP a political pawn in their shutdown scheme is heartless and does nothing to help everyday Americans. www.newsweek.com/trump-admin-...

In Durham, a couple making $85,000 a year could see their monthly health care bill skyrocket from $574 to $2,560 next year. Republicans are making a choice—and it’s costing working North Carolina families thousands.

Trump is now leveraging SNAP in his effort to pass a short-term budget bill that ignores rising healthcare costs. The American people deserve better. @housedemocrats.bsky.social are demanding that Trump pay November SNAP benefits in full TODAY. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/05/u...

As of today, the ongoing government shutdown has set the record for the longest shutdown in American history. I know this is a difficult time for many. Please don't forget that you can still contact my office for assistance by visiting foushee.house.gov or calling 919-967-7924. (1/3)

North Carolinians deserve fair representation, but Republicans are rigging our elections and silencing voters. I'm joining @adams.house.gov, @foushee.house.gov, and Rep. Don Davis to introduce legislation to ensure our maps are drawn with accountability, fairness, and public input.

States like North Carolina have had their maps decided by backroom deals and shady political games for far too long. (1/2)

No one in America should see their healthcare costs rise by $25,000, but that's what families are facing here in North Carolina. Still, House Republicans won't come to work to find a long-term solution to their health care crisis.

🚨 Calling all NC-04 veterans: Join me on November 10 for a Congressional Veterans Briefing! I’ll be joined by local experts to provide updates on veteran-related issues and to share resources available to veterans and their families. To RSVP, visit: 2025NC04VeteransBriefing.eventbrite.com

SNAP funding runs out tomorrow, but Trump refuses to use the funds available to extend this program during the shutdown. Now, 42 million Americans, including 16 million children, could lose the food assistance they depend on. This isn't a partisan issue, it's a moral one.

In 2026, a family of four in Chapel Hill could face a $4,000 increase to their health care costs compared to 2025. That's why @housedemocrats.bsky.social are fighting to extend the Obamacare tax credits. To preview 2026 ACA insurance premiums, visit Healthcare.gov. (1/2)

Name something spookier than Trump's anti-worker agenda 👻... We'll wait.

Thank you Rep. Foushee @foushee.house.gov for sending a letter to EPA Administrator Zeldin asking him not to revoke the Endangerment Finding, a foundational part of the EPA’s ability to protect us from the health effects of climate change. We appreciate you standing up for our kids.

Trump's refusal to use contingency funds on SNAP is a heartless attack on American families who need assistance the most. I joined @housedemocrats.bsky.social in calling on the USDA to use these funds in order to maintain SNAP benefits throughout the month of November.

My staff and I volunteered with the Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina to distribute food to federal workers at RDU who are losing pay due to the ongoing government shutdown. (1/2)

Our government is shut down, healthcare costs are out of control, and inflation hit 3% for the first time since January. But destroying the White House to make a ballroom is the 'main priority' for Trump and the GOP.

This week, I joined Jordan High School AP Government students for a discussion on the history and inner workings of Congress.   These students are the future of our nation, and I'll always support efforts to help them achieve their personal and academic goals.

Thank you to @foushee.house.gov and @repdexteror.bsky.social ― among many other Members of Congress ― as well as their staff for taking the time to meet with us, even during these challenging circumstances.

We are 23 days into the shutdown. Still, Republicans refuse to negotiate and now Trump is spending millions on a new ballroom in the White House. While Republicans serve themselves, Democrats are fighting to reopen the government, extend the ACA tax credits, and lower costs for working families.

North Carolinians are not political pawns. We deserve fair congressional maps that reflect the voices of communities across our state. Instead, the Republican-controlled NCGA is again subjecting the people of our great state to unfair maps that will disenfranchise voters. My full statement ⤵️

Happy Diwali to everyone celebrating in #NC04! Wishing you a wonderful festival of lights with your friends, family, and loved ones.

The American people are being held hostage. In my state, a 45-year-old making $62,000 will see their average health insurance costs rise by over $1,500. Families don’t need promises about holding certain votes, they need affordable healthcare.

Once the rules of engagement are set, I believe Democrats should use those same rules to fight back. I joined NC Capital Tonight to talk more about how we can push back against Republicans' attempts to rig our elections by illegally redrawing North Carolina's maps.

I don't agree with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene often, but moms like her and I know that the cost of healthcare—and just about everything—is far too high. The American people can't afford this Administration, and that's why Democrats are fighting back.

As the Supreme Court considers whether to gut what is left of the Voting Rights Act, I stand with the Congressional Black Caucus in defense of the sacred right to vote. The VRA must be upheld to protect our democracy and ensure the voices of our Black and Brown communities can be heard.

Despite being unable to pass a state budget, the Republican NCGA is now prioritizing the passage of partisan Congressional maps. Democrats won across the statewide ballot in November, and these changes would further misrepresent our evenly divided state. North Carolinians deserve better.

I wore purple for #PurpleThursday alongside my @demwomencaucus.bsky.social colleagues to honor Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Domestic violence affects over 20 Americans each minute. If you or a loved one needs help, call the 24-hour National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE.

Nearly 1 month since Speaker Johnson shut down the House, and Democrats are still here in Washington fighting back. House Republicans won't discuss extending ACA tax credits or pass year-long funding bills to keep our government funded, and American families are the ones paying the price.

While troops and federal workers continue to worry about whether they’ll get their next paycheck, Speaker Johnson is planning a fourth week of vacation for House Republicans. It’s time for the House to return so we can get the government reopened and lower health care costs.

I am thankful to hear the news of this ceasefire agreement, and I dearly hope that it will be permanent. (1/2) apnews.com/article/egyp...

Nearly 1.5 million North Carolinians are at risk of higher healthcare costs or may lose their healthcare entirely. While the House hasn't been in session since September 19, our constituents are facing a healthcare crisis. This isn't about politics, this is about saving lives.

Farm workers that depend on the ACA and are now left wondering if they'll be able to afford health insurance. Meanwhile, farm loan processing has halted and disaster assistance payments are delayed — all while farmers are already struggling with tariffs. They can't afford this chaos.

REMINDER: Just days ago, Speaker Johnson said Adelita Grijalva could be sworn in whenever she wanted. Now, the GOP is using her swearing-in as political leverage and are leaving nearly 1 million people in AZ-07 without a representative during this shutdown.

Oversight Democrats have one message for Speaker Johnson: Stop the Shutdown, Release the Files!

This week, I met with the Ministerial Alliance of Durham who all expressed their concerns about the local impacts of our nation's ongoing health care crisis. Local organizations and places of worship are too often expected to pick up the slack for our government—I'm fighting to help fix that.

Federal workers shouldn't pay the price for a government shutdown, instead Republicans are using them as pawns in their political games. It also concerns me that Trump can't seem to remember that he signed the law which guarantees backpay for furloughed federal workers.

Domestic violence impacts millions of people every year. Please remember that it is never too late to ask for help. If you or a loved one is a victim of domestic violence, call the 24-hour National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE.

The GOP won't swear-in Adelita Grijalva, leaving AZ-07 without a federal representative during a government shutdown. She will also be the 218th and final signature to force a vote to release the Epstein files—I'm sure that's just a coincidence, right? time.com/7323800/adel...

Our government has shut down, but Speaker Johnson refuses to call the House in session and Donald Trump is out golfing. Enough is enough—Democrats stand ready to work in a bipartisan manner to deliver for the American people while House Republicans are taking a paid vacation.

Today marks 2 years since Hamas’ terrorist attack on Israel which claimed thousands of innocent lives. More than ever, a ceasefire is needed to ensure safe return of the remaining hostages, proper delivery of humanitarian aid to families in Gaza, and lasting peace in the region.

You don’t have to go far to see how important ACA tax credits are for North Carolinians—here’s a snapshot of what my constituents are telling me right here on social media.

I joined CBS 17 earlier this week to discuss the Republican shutdown. Let me be clear: @housedemocrats.bsky.social are resolute and won't stop fighting to protect healthcare for Americans across the country.

I am outraged by the news of ICE raids in Chicago that indiscriminately targeted people of color, including unnecessary harm to American citizens and children. These inhumane and unlawful attacks on our communities are abhorrent and cannot be tolerated. chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...
