Congresswoman Deborah Ross

Next week is our last legislative week of the year and our last chance to preserve access to life-saving care for our constituents. It's time for Republicans to join Democrats to extend the ACA tax credits and save health care access for millions of Americans.

As someone who worked for decades to improve NC's criminal justice system, I've seen firsthand how DNA testing can deliver justice and even exonerate the innocent. I'm proud to have secured $500,000 in federal funding for Wake County's new DNA lab, which is now open. Read more: forensicmag.com/3594-All-News/…

For 61 years, Medicare and Medicaid have been lifelines. But they face unprecedented attacks. This admin cut Medicaid for 15 million Americans to fund tax cuts for the rich. Now, they're ending a critical Medicare subsidy program. We cannot abandon Americans in their most vulnerable moments.

Our nation has long struggled to keep pace in foreign language proficiency, which threatens our ability to equip the next generation with the proper tools to become civil leaders. I’m joining @RepDeborahRoss and @RepJimmyPanetta in introducing the Advancing International and Foreign Language Education Act to support foreign language and international education programs at colleges and universities. foushee.house.gov/media/press-re…

Republicans want us to give this admin the benefit of the doubt on their new bill that criminalizes any child who overstays their visa. I won't standby giving unchecked power to an admin that has repeatedly violated the law.

I led a roundtable to discuss how this admin has harmed higher education by changing student loan rules. Trump’s policies are hurting the future teachers, healthcare workers, business leaders, & more that Wake County needs. I'll keep fighting to make sure higher ed remains a pathway to opportunity.

I'm fighting in Washington to make life easier for folks in North Carolina. Lately, that looks a lot like fighting against bad policies that do nothing to bring down costs.

This morning, I announced $850,000 in safety improvements to Jones Sausage Road alongside Garner Mayor Gupton, members of the Garner Town Council, key staff and the Garner PD. This project will help ensure our infrastructure is safe, efficient, and built for the future.

I love going to the farmers market; I know where my food comes from and I pay fair prices that go straight to NC farmers. But families are struggling to afford groceries, gas, and more because of this admin. With 100 days until Election Day, it's clear we're moving in the wrong direction.

Despite how this admin advertises a new “gold-standard” in science, scientific research is collapsing nationwide. Trump & his political appointees now want to control ALL grant decisions, risking clinical trials, biotech, & more. It's a cheap cover-up of their costly threats to science.

A new Republican bill would make any child who overstays their visa a criminal--even if they're with a parent or don't have the ability to leave on their own. This isn't about safety. This is about hurting immigrant children. @Repraskin and I explain:

My statement on House Republicans’ Partisan NDAA:

House Republicans want to pass an immigration bill that would criminalize children—even toddlers— who overstay their visas. We can't trust this admin to treat children humanely or follow the law as is. Why would we trust them with a new law that could damage more kids?

@RepBonamici @WHOSTP45 🧵@RepDeborahRoss: "Gold standard is frequently gold plated, and the victories that you're touting are merely cheap, shiny distractions concealing the nation's crumbling scientific infrastructure and the loss of the intellectual capability that we have to China."

Last night, House Republicans passed a so-called “clean” continuing resolution. Postponing the appropriations deadline until December. Let’s be clear: Nothing about this CR is clean. It gives the authority to transfer more money to Trump’s lawless immigration agenda—on top of the $80 billion Republicans already passed. I voted no.

NEW: I launched an investigation w/ @ValerieFoushee + @RepAdams into Duke Energy's settlement with the Trump admin to abandon an offshore wind project off the NC coast in exchange for a payout. We will get answers.

House Republicans' immigration bill would criminalize kids whose parents overstay their visas. And we’re supposed to trust an out-of-control administration that defies court orders to use that power responsibly? Not a chance. @RepDeborahRoss explains:

I am devastated that we lost another Fort Bragg soldier in the Middle East. My deepest condolences are with the loved ones of Sgt. Michael Emmanuel Swinton of Fayetteville as they grieve this unimaginable loss. I am praying for the safety of all of our servicemembers around the world. My heart goes out to his young children.

I join North Carolinians in mourning the loss of First Lieutenant Tyler Feehan and extending my deepest condolences to his family and the entire Fort Bragg community. At just 25 years old, he made the ultimate sacrifice while defending against Iranian missile and drone attacks in Jordan. I'm keeping his loved ones and all of our servicemembers serving around the world in my thoughts.

🚨IMPEACHMENT TIME: Rep. Deborah Ross says Congress has a duty to impeach Trump AGAIN as he continues to abuse his power and spread election lies. “For the historical record… we do not want to let this behavior go without accountability.”
