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.

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.

Today, I joined Congresswoman Valerie Foushee 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.

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

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.

Trump's illegal withholding of @USedgov funds, including $8.1 million for Wake County Public School System, is disrupting hiring and reduces the capacity for educators to provide a high-quality education for students. Today, Congresswoman Deborah Ross and I wrote to @EdSecMcMahon urging the immediate release of

Today, we should be voting to lower costs for Americans. Instead, the House is closed because Speaker Johnson doesn't want to release information about Epstein. What a disservice to the American people.

16 years ago the federal minimum wage increased to $7.25/hour. It hasn't budged since. That's the longest span in American history with no increase. It's far past time we change that. I sponsored the Raise the Wage Act so that American workers can earn the wage they deserve.

It’s been 16 years since the last minimum wage increase. On today’s Democratic Daily Download, Congressman Donald Norcross 🇺🇸 explains how Republicans are holding workers back and how Democrats are fighting for a more affordable America with higher wages and lower costs.

Trump told the American people he hadn't been informed his name was in the Epstein Files. That was a lie. Republicans need to stop covering for Trump and start fighting for the victims of this tragedy.

Parents, teachers, and students will suffer if Trump withholds this education funding. I'll keep fighting alongside Congresswoman Valerie Foushee to make sure NC students have the support they need. wral.com/story/wcpss-am…

International students come to our research universities to learn. They lend their talents to our communities and keep our country competitive. As Indian students across the country see delays in their visa processing, I called on the administration to fix this issue.

Cutting Medicaid isn’t just bad for public health – it hurts the whole economy. On today’s Democratic Daily Download,  Rep. Emilia Strong Sykes explains how Medicaid cuts will cause hospitals to close and people to lose their jobs.

Speaker Johnson shut down the House to keep the Epstein Files from being shared with the public. Protecting Trump over the victims of these crimes is a gross injustice. newsobserver.com/news/politics-…

The Triangle keeps growing, and we need our transportation system to grow with it. I was excited to attend the ribbon cutting for Raleigh's new RUS Bus, another way to keep people in our region connected.

I joined Congresswoman Valerie Foushee in demanding that the Trump admin release funds that rightfully belong to Wake County schools. Today, Trump reversed his decision. He should've never withheld this congressionally-approved funding to begin with.

On this day 35 years ago, the Americans with Disabilities Act became law. It was a hard-won victory and a milestone in the fight for civil rights. There is still work to be done. I remain committed to building a more accessible and inclusive future for all.

Last week, Republicans slashed $9.6 million from PBS North Carolina. That decision will hurt students, rural communities, and public safety. Public media is a lifeline. I opposed those cuts and I'll keep fighting to fund vital public broadcasting.
