Donald Trump's contempt for an independent judiciary is not new. He disagrees with anyone who doesn't let him do whatever he wants, whenever he wants. And House Republicans are complicit. @HouseJudiciary

After a lifetime of hard work, seniors should be treated with dignity. Instead, the administration has quietly ended the Senior Community Service Employment Program, which helps seniors find jobs and make a living. This is shameful. Trump is hurting seniors without remorse.

On today’s Democratic Daily Download, @RepStricklandWA explains how Republicans are breaking their promise to lower costs with a Big, Ugly Law that makes life more expensive.

Today, I joined @ValerieFoushee in demanding that the Department of Education release $8.1 million of illegally withheld funds to Wake Schools. We must restore funding that our parents, students, and teachers need.

Trump is still illegally withholding funds from Head Start, energy projects, and public health grants. Trump's assault on the services people rely on is bad for communities across the country. Republicans in Congress need to do their job and take back their authority.

Equal work deserves equal pay, including in college sports. There's a reason the WNBPA and the NWSLPA endorsed our letter. Republicans' SCORE Act doesn't do enough to protect women student athletes.

Prices are high, inflation isn't going down, and Trump's tariffs are only making things worse. But instead of tackling these issues, Johnson is shutting down the House because he doesn't want to release any information about Epstein.

Epstein should have never been granted a plea deal in 2008, but DOJ's top watchdog couldn't properly investigate. That's why I introduced a bill with @RepRobertGarcia to provide DOJ's Inspector General the power to investigate allegations of attorney misconduct.

On today's Democratic Daily Download, @RepBeccaB explains how Republicans' Big, Ugly Law is a betrayal of hardworking Americans that will hit rural America especially hard.

When you're at the beach or pool this summer, don't forget your sunscreen! July is UV Safety Awareness Month, when we encourage safe sun practices. Protecting people from UV radiation is why I introduced the Safe Sunscreen Standards Act to modernize the sunscreen approval…

Cuts to Medicaid are not isolated. They will cause people to lose their insurance, including many Americans with disabilities. Yet Republicans passed them anyway. nytimes.com/2025/07/21/wel…

James Ferguson was a towering figure in North Carolina, dedicating his life to creating a more equal and just world. He was brilliant and kind, a great mentor and a better friend. We will miss him dearly. charlotteobserver.com/news/local/art…

Republicans voted to cut funding for SNAP, knowing it would devastate hungry people across the country. This is what they voted for. The most at-risk in our communities are hurt the most.

Cuts to NOAA and the National Weather Service endanger lives across our country. I just introduced a bill to fund accurate precipitation forecasting and provide Americans with the tools they need to plan for extreme weather.

In the dead of night, Republicans voted to defund public broadcasting. Stations in NC will now have fewer resources to put out emergency alerts right as hurricane season starts. This will hurt rural and low-income communities the most. North Carolina deserves better.

Layoffs at RTP are bad for the employees, the local economy, and the health of our entire state. Trump is playing politics with these layoffs and he's risking our economic vitality and public health as a result.

No one should have to worry that politics will stand between them and the care they need. That's why I'm proud to introduce legislation to ensure states can't ban medications that have been approved by the FDA.

In the dead of night, Republicans passed their bill to claw back funding for public broadcasting and foreign assistance. North Carolinians rely on public broadcasting to stay safe during storms & much more. This bill will hurt vulnerable people – both at home and abroad.

Americans need the tools to help them plan for and avoid heavy rain and flooding. I introduced a bill to do just that by improving precipitation forecasting.

I am proud to introduce the Right to FDA-Approved Medicines Act. We cannot allow states to circumvent the FDA to ban effective, life-saving medications. Science, not politics, should guide healthcare in this country.
