These threats are deplorable. Trump is talking to the UN about annihilating countries while the cost-of-living skyrockets, and Republicans still refuse to bring the House into session. Americans aren't asking Congress to send bombs abroad—they're asking Congress to lower costs.

AI-powered online scams targeted in bipartisan bill
The SAFE Platforms Act from House lawmakers Valerie Foushee and James Moylan would target scams exploiting online platforms to prey on vulnerable users.

Online and AI-assisted scams cost North Carolina families $3 billion last year alone with few consequences for the platforms that enable and profit from this abuse.

Today, I sent a letter to UNC Chancellor Roberts regarding racial incidents that occurred on UNC’s campus over the last month. This is an important moment to stand with members of the University’s Black Student Organizations and the Taiwanese Student Association in the aftermath of these attacks.

While projections indicate that families could pay over $2,500 in extra costs due to Trump’s tariffs, court decisions have only ruled that businesses should receive tariff refunds. I’m introducing the American Tariff Rebate Act to cover tariff costs for middle- and lower-income households.

🚨 Speaker Johnson cancelled all votes in the House from now until November 3rd. Democrats are ready to deliver AI safeguards, better healthcare, and lower grocery costs for the American people. Unfortunately, all Republicans are concerned about is their sinking reelection bids.

I'm voting to advance @algreen.house.gov’s Articles of Impeachment against President Trump.   Trump has defied court orders, started an illegal and disastrous war, has sent ICE into our communities, and so much more.   He is a threat to democracy and must be removed immediately.

I signed the discharge petition to force a vote on Rep. Massie and @khanna.house.gov's Epstein Files Transparency Act II. This will allow survivors and state officials to sue the government for improperly withholding or redacting records. The survivors deserve justice—period.

The dehumanizing attacks on a transgender teacher in Wake County shows that Republicans simply do not want trans people to exist in our society. They continue to do everything in their power to marginalize and ostracize trans people across North Carolina. www.newsobserver.com/news/local/e...

Today marks 25 years since the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, which claimed thousands of innocent lives. We will never forget the courage & sacrifice of the first responders, and we must continue to honor the survivors, servicemembers, & families whose lives were forever changed on that day.

Trump has removed many government resources that local communities utilize to improve pedestrian and cyclist safety. Over 36,000 people were killed on our streets in 2025, and this inexplicable decision makes it substantially more likely that we'll see that staggering death count continue to rise.

I voted against the bill to block universities from receiving funds if they are engaging in boycotts of Israel. Refusing to support a genocide, or refusing to support a foreign nation, should not result in the loss of federal funding for a university.

The genocide has not ended. The Israeli military has not stopped dropping US-made bombs in Palestine, murdering Palestinian children. We can’t trust Netanyahu and Trump to pursue peace, self determination, and security in the region. Congress must act. Let's pass my Block the Bombs Act.

ICE is lying. They’re trying to make this about something other than the vile conditions reported inside these private, for-profit prisons. But we’re not going to stop. Stewart Detention Center must be shut down. Every for-profit ICE facility must be eliminated. And ICE must be dismantled.
