Happy Kwanzaa to all who are celebrating! From Umoja to Imani, may all the blessings of this holiday be yours. ❤️🖤💚

Merry Christmas! Wishing you and your family peace, joy, and love this holiday season.

Americans are paying higher energy bills while Howard Lutnick's family profits from the AI data center boom. I'm joining @warren.senate.gov and @repdean.bsky.social to demand @commercegov.bsky.social's Inspector General investigate these blatant conflicts of interest.

I had a great discussion with Ben Winters, the Consumer Federation of America’s Director of AI and Privacy, on how Congress can develop AI policy that protects Americans. Congress must put privacy, civil rights, and consumer safety first as AI transforms our world in real time.

Kristi Noem has a policy requiring personal approval of FEMA contracts above $100,000. She's busy overseeing inhumane ICE raids so the policy is slowing the flow of aid. Thank you @ross.house.gov for leading this effort to get Western NC the relief they need. spectrumlocalnews.com/nc/charlotte...

I am overjoyed to see the Lumbee Tribe receive the federal tribal recognition that they have long deserved. This bipartisan effort has taken years, but it pales in comparison to the over a century the Lumbee have been seeking reprieve. www.carolinajournal.com/ncs-lumbee-t...

My statement on the passing of former North Carolina Governor Jim Hunt:

Because Democrats successfully forced a vote on the House floor to extend the ACA tax credits, Speaker Johnson is now cancelling votes altogether. @housedemocrats.bsky.social stand together in demanding that this bill be brought to the floor now before these tax credits expire in 2 weeks.

As a cosponsor of this resolution, I was proud to vote to stop Trump's war on Venezuela. Alongside @usprogressives.bsky.social, I won’t stop pushing for the passage of this legislation to stop Trump from putting servicemembers in harm’s way. progressives.house.gov/press-releas...

While ICE is terrorizing communities in NC, Trump continues to bribe local police into performing ICE duties through the 287(g) program. I introduced the PROTECT Immigration Act with @quigley.house.gov, @mcbride.house.gov, and @jayapal.house.gov to stop this program that endangers communities.

Proud to stand with my colleagues @quigley.house.gov, @mcbride.house.gov, @foushee.house.gov to put forward this common sense bill to restore trust in our communities and protect public safety.

Trump’s DHS is deputizing state and local law enforcement to target immigrants. This means local cops spending less time, energy, and resources on crime and emergency response and more on ICE raids. It makes all of us less safe, and I’m helping to lead legislation to stop it.

I'm holding a press conference RIGHT NOW on the PROTECT Immigration Act — a bill to stop Trump from using local police in ICE raids. Join me and @jayapal.house.gov, @mcbride.house.gov, @foushee.house.gov, @aclu.org, and @immcouncil.org by tuning into the live below.

Is Trump still grading the economy as an "A+++++"? www.cnn.com/business/liv...

I'm introducing legislation with @hankjohnson.house.gov and @mcbath.house.gov to make lifesaving opioid reversal drugs, like Narcan, available at federal prisons. (1/2)

Our children are tomorrow's innovators and Congress needs to provide them with tools to succeed in emerging fields like quantum science. I introduced the bipartisan Q-Leap Act to help K-12 students develop skills in this technology that is shaping our future. foushee.house.gov/media/press-...

As 4 Republicans finally joined every Democrat to force a vote on extending the ACA tax credits for 3 years, I was standing shoulder-to-shoulder with my @demwomencaucus.bsky.social colleagues. I'm proud to be in the fight to protect healthcare access alongside this powerful group of women.

🚨 Despite Speaker Johnson's attempts to shut us down, House Democrats are forcing a vote on a 3-year extension of the ACA tax credits. Our communities can't wait any longer for healthcare costs to be addressed. Republicans need to bring this vote to the floor NOW.

Navigating federal agencies for passport renewals, work authorizations, VA benefits, and more can be difficult—but my casework team is here to help! If you need assistance with federal agencies, don’t hesitate to reach out to my Durham District Office at 919-967-7924.

It was a pleasure to meet Dept. of Veterans Affairs nurses with @nationalnurses.bsky.social to hear more about how Congress can better support them. Though the House recently voted to restore bargaining rights for VA nurses, we must ensure safe workplaces and bargaining rights for all nurses.

While Americans are asking for real AI protections for consumers, Trump is bulldozing state-level safeguards through an executive order. This unconstitutional order silences communities and does nothing to benefit everyday Americans. My full statement:

I am deeply saddened to learn that Durham native Kendall Turner was injured in the devastating mass shooting this weekend at Brown University. I’m relieved she is in stable condition and am wishing her and the others who were injured a full and a speedy recovery. www.wral.com/news/local/d...

Thank you @foushee.house.gov and @jahimes.bsky.social who cosponsored H.R.2368! We urge Members of Congress to pass the Raise the Age Act to raise the age to purchase assault rifles to 21. Congressional Switchboard: (202) 224-3121 #RaiseTheAgeAct #EndGunViolence

Happy Hanukkah to everyone celebrating in the Fourth District and around the world! May these next eight nights be filled with peace, light, and joy.

My heart is with the victims of last night’s horrific antisemitic attack in Australia on the first night of Hanukkah. No one should ever have to fear for their lives as they express their faith. We must all remain committed to rooting out all forms of hate, violence & antisemitism from our society.

I am devastated by the news of a shooting at Brown University. My heart is with the victims, their loved ones, and the entire community during this difficult time. Congress must do more to protect our communities and prevent these acts of violence. Enough is enough.

As Co-Chair of the @housedemocrats.bsky.social Commission on AI, I am proud to share my AI Jobs Report and subsequent launch of an investigation into major companies to gain clarity on AI's impact on American jobs. (1/4) foushee.house.gov/media/press-...

I signed Rep. Luna's discharge petition to force a vote on legislation to ban Members of Congress from trading stocks. It's simple: you can't properly advocate for your district if you're busy trying to cash out.

I voted against the Republican motion to table @algreen.house.gov's articles of impeachment against President Trump. This is a President who ignores the rules of law, side-steps court orders, and has even called for the death penalty to be used against lawmakers. He is unfit for office.

Working Americans are losing their jobs in the tens of thousands while tech companies make record profits. Since Congress won't pass any AI legislation that protects working families, I'm demanding clarity from these companies on these job cuts. Read more: www.axios.com/2025/12/11/d...

Trump gives his economy an "A+++++". I'm sending out some homework this holiday season to find out if that's really the case. Stay tuned...

Although I’m grateful the NDAA included a provision federally recognizing the Lumbee Tribe, a measure I’ve long supported, I voted no because it falls short for our servicemembers, prioritizes Trump’s partisan militarized agenda, & gives ICE and CBP access to DoD resources at the southern border.

As the lead Democrat on the Space & Aeronautics Subcommittee, I introduced a bipartisan resolution with Chair Rep. Haridopolos to honor the extensive contributions of women in aviation, human spaceflight, and other aerospace fields. (1/2) Read More: foushee.house.gov/media/press-...

This is what an ICE spokesperson had to say when confronted with the fact that just a third of their arrests in North Carolina have involved individuals with a criminal history. (1/3) Source: www.newsobserver.com/article31342...

The Army's plan to relocate a historic ROTC program away from Duke to UNC will make accessing these programs more difficult for both Duke and North Carolina Central University students. I joined WRAL to discuss the issue with this move, and my response.

The GOP refuses to address its healthcare crisis, and it's having real effects here in North Carolina. Every House Democrat has signed a discharge petition to extend the ACA tax credits. If just four Republicans join us, we can stop premiums from skyrocketing. www.theassemblync.com/news/health/...

I’m honored to be named Co-Chair of the @housedemocrats.bsky.social Commission on AI alongside Rep. Lieu and Rep. Gottheimer. Trump and Republicans haven't met the moment in developing AI policy that safeguards jobs and civil rights—but we're ready to do just that. www.cnbc.com/2025/12/09/a...

As co-chair of the new House Democratic Commission on AI, New Dem AI Task Force Chair @foushee.house.gov is bringing her expertise to the forefront of Congress' efforts to responsibly spur innovation, grow our economy and protect the American people. www.cnbc.com/2025/12/09/a...

On this day in 1865, the 13th amendment was ratified, formally ending slavery in the United States. Today, we remember this first step in the long fight for equality, and we must continue to reject every attempt to erase this shameful chapter of American history.

70 years ago today, the Montgomery Bus Boycott began, a powerful and peaceful protest which was a foundational event for the civil rights movement. We honor this historic moment by continuing the fight for true justice for all, today and every day.

Thanks to @foushee.house.gov Hillsborough will receive $1mil to replace the chlorine gas disinfection system at our water treatment plant with a less hazardous system.

The SSEP and Mountain Valley Pipeline Southgate project’s developer has shown disregard for environmental and safety regulations, endangering those communities further. I joined @bobbyscott.house.gov and @foushee.house.gov to demand that FERC review the impacts of these projects before advancing.

It was a pleasure to see so many students in #NC04 participating in this year's Congressional App Challenge! Thank you to the families and students who joined my awards reception, and congratulations to this year’s winners. I can’t wait to see how far this next generation of STEM leaders can go!

🚨 BIG NEWS: My Community Project Funding request for Hillsborough's Water Treatment Facility was included in the FY26 Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration Appropriations Act. (1/3)

During my remarks as Ranking Member of the Space & Aeronautics Subcommittee, I compared China's growing space science plans to Trump's continued attempts to cut NASA funding. For all the administration's talk of maintaining leadership in space, this clearly isn't a winning strategy.

@ncgovernor.bsky.social is right. DHS continues to sweep our communities while detaining citizens and people with no prior convictions. Fatima’s story is one of many here in North Carolina. This administration must answer for these inhumane attempts to sow fear across our communities.

Rising healthcare costs are hurting working families in North Carolina. Our state deserves better. I will never stop fighting to protect the ACA, expand Medicare and Medicaid coverage, and ensure that every American has access to the quality, affordable healthcare they need.

Republicans in DC are headed towards another shutdown while Republicans in North Carolina are focused on silencing American history, past and present. The NC GOP should focus on finally passing a state budget instead of this harmful fearmongering and attempts to whitewash our school curriculums.

Despite pushback from communities and officials in North Carolina and Virginia, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission continues to fast-track approvals for pipeline projects without regard for its environmental impacts. (1/2)
