Crunch time on debt ceiling

John, I’m not on the team that’s negotiating the debt ceiling - far from it, as a freshman member of the minority party - but I want to report back to you my understanding of where things stand. In general, I think the two sides still have serious disagreements but are probably closer to a dea…

Three weeks to avoid default

John, Last week, I told you that we had six weeks until the federal government runs out of money and goes into default. I was wrong. The new estimate by the Treasury Department is that we have three weeks - and we still have not reached an agreement. But: A new path to resolving this …

The latest on redistricting (and my seat)

John, Last week, our state Supreme Court ruled - along party lines - that political gerrymandering is no longer against the law in North Carolina. Previously, our state Supreme Court had held that our state constitution prevents politicians from drawing districts for obvious political gain. …

The debt ceiling battle begins

John, Yesterday afternoon, I was on the House floor intently watching the vote count for the biggest vote of the year so far. You get five minutes to cast your vote and the voting machines are spread throughout the chamber, so members tend to clump around them and wait in line to press the red…

The angriest voices in Congress are mostly faking

John, I’m still brand new to Congress — I’ve only been here 100 days — and maybe I’m not supposed to say this out loud, but it’s true and important and if you don’t know this, you need to. It’s very clear from working here for just a few months that most of the really angry voices in Congress …

We’ve already been targeted

Hey John, I'm Avery, from Jeff’s finance team. (Not Jeff’s daughter, who is a completely different Avery!) I wanted to make sure you saw Jeff’s email about being made a “top target” by the GOP. That means for the next two years, the GOP is going to be attacking Jeff constantly. It’s already…

Banks runs and TikTok

͏John, Bank run update The last time you heard from me, it was 2:00 a.m. and Congress had just met via Zoom because we had a bank panic that was becoming a domino effect. The situation has improved. Here are three things we’ve learned since then: First This whole panic started with…

We’ve already been targeted

Friends, We must be doing something right. This seat just became a “top target” for the GOP. We’re now on a list of 37 districts across the country that will be their primary focus in the next election. They’ve shown their hand early to send a clear message to their allies about which seats…

Stopping a bank run

Friends, Last night there was an emergency Zoom call with several hundred members of Congress. It was convened by the Treasury Department. We were given 15 minutes notice. It was literally on regular Zoom. I was emailed a link. I clicked it and suddenly I was in a very normal-looking Zoom r…

The decisive phase of the war in Ukraine is about to begin.

The latest on China and Taiwan

Why I’m supporting Josh Stein

Friends, When I joined the state Senate in 2014, I was filling someone’s unexpired term. That meant I was showing up in the middle of things, without the normal preparation, and I needed to catch up fast. So one of the first things I did was walk over to Josh Stein’s office and make an appoint…

Engaging in Personalities

Early childhood education is crucial
