On February 5, 2025, Ross highlighted the importance of Medicaid for millions of Americans. She criticized a Republican plan that proposes cutting funding for this program. According to Ross, such cuts would "slash insurance and nursing home payments for thousands of North Carolinians." She emphasized her dedication to protecting this essential program "now and in the future."
In another post dated February 6, 2025, Ross voiced her concerns about Elon Musk's involvement with systems tracking extreme weather events.

Ross urged that Musk and his associates should stay away from vital data and systems related to extreme weather tracking.
Also on February 6, 2025, Ross announced an extension for the Disaster Unemployment Assistance (DUA) application deadline for victims of Hurricane Helene. The new deadline is March 10, 2025. She provided a link for more information or to apply online.
