I was deeply humbled to be recognized by ERA-NC Alliance for my support of the House resolution which recognizes the ERA as ratified by the required 38 states needed for it to become law. Congress must recognize the Equal Rights Amendment and take steps to end discrimination on the basis of sex.

Republicans in Raleigh and Washington are making false claims about election security to disenfranchise voters. Republicans hold the majority in Congress, Republicans hold the Presidency and Republicans instigated an insurrection to overturn an election. The threats to our elections come from them.

I was honored to join Reset Tech’s National Day of Action Webinar on tech-enabled scams and fraud. AI-powered scammers are emptying Americans’ savings, and tech companies are refusing to take responsibility.

Today marks 50 years since the #HydeAmendment was passed, leaving millions of women on Medicaid without the abortion coverage they need. Now is the time to end Hyde and put women’s reproductive health care over political games.

It was great to meet with @bapspubaffairs.bsky.social last week to discuss how Congress can better support Hindu communities across the country. #NC04 is home to flourishing immigrant communities from across the world, and I’ll always fight to ensure their voices are being heard by Congress.

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.

ICE has long shown it is not compatible with our democracy. We must pass the Melt ICE Act and reroute ICE funding to programs that actually help our communities.

It’s not just in Iran, Donald Trump is spending our money to destabilize regions across the globe. Congress must take steps to ensure taxpayer dollars are only being used in accordance with our humanitarian values.

Outside of the Stewart Detention Center in Georgia, I spoke about the inhumane conditions of the facility, and the stories I heard of families being separated and detainees being denied critical care.

I had the pleasure of meeting with @bread4theworld.bsky.social to discuss how Congress can take steps to end hunger across the nation. Access to food is a human right and I will continue to fight back against cuts to food assistance programs to ensure that every family can put food on the table.

Big tech is making record profits off AI while workers and young Americans worry about what it means for their jobs—it’s completely backwards. Congress has a duty to ensure AI does not deepen wealth inequality. That’s why we introduced the AI Tax and Work Protection Act.

I asked Trump’s science advisor if the non-binding “ratepayer protection pledge” has helped with rising energy costs due to data centers. He gave me 3 different answers. I’ll let you decide if you believe this Administration cares about rising utility costs due to data centers.

Today, I voted no on the GOP's budget resolution that wastes tens of billions of taxpayer dollars on Trump's wars abroad through reconciliation. This bill sets the stage for more wasteful spending without addressing the cost-of-living in any way. Read my full statement.

Today, I voted in favor of Rep. Massie’s amendment to cut military aid to Israel. However, I voted against the foreign affairs funding bill which includes harmful riders, including the SAVE Act, & weakens our ability to lead through diplomacy & protect our national security. Read my full statement.
