They risked everything for our troops. Now we're leaving them behind. It's not just a moral failure - it's a betrayal that puts Americans at risk in future missions. Who will ever help us again if this is how we treat our allies? washingtonpost.com/world/202…

We lost a giant today. David Gergen spent his life serving this country. In his later years, he devoted himself to lifting up young leaders. Over the years, I turned to him for his wisdom, heart, and counsel. Deeply grateful. Prayers for Anne and family. apnews.com/article/david-ger…

As someone who lived near Siler City, this is crazy to see. I’m used to flooding and hurricanes in eastern NC, but now hurricanes out west and flooding in central??

The devastation in NC and TX is heartbreaking. We also need to be clear. These aren’t 500 or 1,000 year floods anymore - the climate has changed. And the person who should be doing the most to protect us is busy demolishing the protections. That's tragic. wral.com/22077408/?fbclid=Iw…

This Republican bill writes into law the rigged system that’s crushing the American dream. If there were ever a time for new leaders in Washington, it's now. nbcnews.com/politics/congres…

House passes sprawling domestic policy bill, sending it to Trump's desk

When I built a business, I balanced my budget. Every year. It’s absurd Washington politicians won’t do the same. Now they’re saddling our kids with debt and, what’s even more cruel, stealing health care from millions — just to fund tax breaks for the rich. nytimes.com/2025/06/29/us/po…

Tillis let down NC as senator. Now, when the going gets tough - when Trump threatens a primary - he quits instead of standing up for us. Letting us down again. We need a senator who isn't afraid to stand up to Trump, his daughter in law, or anyone. Period. wunc.org/politics/2025-06-29…

The people of western NC have been through so much. They deserve leaders who will stand up for them. Tillis and Edwards need to look in the mirror. If you're not in office to help people, why be there at all?

Elon Musk called my husband @CaptMarkKelly a traitor. Yesterday, Roger Stone said he should be executed for treason. After last year, Trump and his allies should understand that the threat of political violence is real. It stole a job that I loved. Inciting violence is unAmerican — it’s what extremists do. Anyone serious about protecting this country should know the difference.

Small businesses are the beating heart of our economy. I stopped by some small businesses in Marshall – including Shady Side Florist, a recipient of a Western North Carolina Small Business Initiative grant – to see how they are recovering and rebuilding following Hurricane Helene. No matter where you are across North Carolina, please shop at a small business or two this week!
