President Trump’s withdrawal of support for Ukraine shows he’s always going to put his ego before our allies, even if it means siding with Putin and threatening democracy around the world. I’m proud to continue to support Ukraine in their fight—even when this administration won’t.

The Trump Administration is once again using the federal government to attack teachers, students, and schools that dare to promote fairness and inclusion. I won’t stand by while they use the Department of Education as a tool for division and fear. More: adams.house.gov/media-center...

North Carolina is recovering from the most devastating natural disaster in modern history- Hurricane Helene. Almost $9 billion – that's billion, with a “B” – in disaster relief funding for NC is in this bill, which we need desperately for rebuilding in the wake of Helene. 🧵⬇️

Public archives provide access to records—from birth certificates to military service records—necessary to secure our rights and benefits. We must protect them from climate change. That's why @adams.house.gov and I are proud to introduce the Public Archives Resiliency Act.
Blue background with the National Archives and text that reads: “Public Archives Resiliency Act
This bill will:
* Promote preservation, climate resilience, and adaption for libraries, archives, and museums,
* Direct the Comptroller General to identify eligible entities and covered records vulnerable to environmental damage,
* Enable grant recipients to make upgrades to protect facilities that house covered records from extreme weather, and
* Ensure that archives have tools necessary to digitize and store records that are at risk of damage due to extreme weather.”

Greensboro has lost a giant. Like me, Yvonne Johnson lived by the old Shirley Chisholm quote, “Service is the rent we pay for living on God’s Earth.” She was more than the first Black Mayor of Greensboro. My friend led a life of change and justice-making, greensboro.com/news/local/g...

'Greensboro was her life.' Colleagues remember longtime councilwoman Yvonne Johnson
"Our city lost one of its champions," Mayor Nancy Vaughan said in a statement announcing Wednesday's death of Johnson, who was the city's first Black mayor.
