#TrumpIsNotWell? Nor are those who think this is a sudden onset.
He's gravely mentally ill, more clear daily but no less clinically discernable since before '16.
74m fools voted to return a madman to power.
Worry less about him & more abt 74m.

RepDeborahRoss: I was honored to present an award to @WRAL for their excellent reporting at @nabtweets' annual awards ceremony.
Local journalism helps shine a light on some of the most important issues affecting communities across the country.

RepDeborahRoss: I spent a fun day at the Knightdale African American Festival. This was a wonderful celebration of African American culture through food, live music, dancing, and art. Thank you to the town of Knightdale for bringing our community together!

RepDeborahRoss: Today marks 14 years of DACA. For many immigrants who only know a life in the U.S., this program ensures they can pursue the American dream.
But that promise has been replaced with fear & uncertainty under this admin. We need to create a pathway to citizenship β¦

RepDeborahRoss: The DOJ is attempting a cover-up.
I discovered a quiet policy change that now lets the AG approve prison transfers at their discretion.
This comes after they moved Ghislaine Maxwell to a prison that doesn't allow sex offenders. This isβ¦

RepDeborahRoss: We wrapped up Republicans' so-called "Fraud Week" in Washington.
This week, I co-sponsored a bill to block funding for one of Trump's biggest grifts: his slush fund to divert taxpayer dollars to political allies and January 6 rioters.

RepDeborahRoss: NEWS: I uncovered that BOP is trying to cover its tracks with a new policy change that gives the Attorney General broad authority to transfer any prisoner.
Conveniently, it would allow the AG to do exactly what Todd Blanche did when DOJβ¦

RepDeborahRoss: Trump's Energy Secretary couldn't answer how it benefits Americans to cancel clean energy projects across the country.
Canceling clean energy isn't efficiency. It's a political agenda at Americans' expense.

RepDeborahRoss: This admin cut projects to build and study new energy sourcesβnot because they weren't working, but because they were clean energy.

So this week, Iβll break down some of the worst fraud the Trump admin has committed.

RepDeborahRoss: From the mishandled release of the Epstein Files to Ghislaine Maxwellβs transfer to Club Fed, Congress needs to investigate AG nominee Todd Blancheβs concerning actions at DoJ.

RepDeborahRoss: In North Carolina and across the country, federal immigration agents have terrorized our communities β abducting people off the streets, separating families and children, deporting legal residents, violating due process rights, and even killing U.S. citizens. Weβ¦

RepDeborahRoss: Instead of taking action to lower costs for the American people, Republicans have passed a blank check to ICE and CBP, without any of the meaningful reforms that the public supports.
