Congresswoman Deborah Ross, representing North Carolina's 2nd district since 2021, recently expressed her concerns over the actions of former President Donald Trump in a series of tweets. The congresswoman highlighted issues ranging from funding cuts for critical health research to the overall atmosphere during the early days of Trump's administration.
On February 11, 2025, Ross addressed an attempted reduction in funding by Trump for research on diseases such as cancer and Alzheimer's. She stated that "Trump attempted to slash funding for research on cancer, Alzheimer's, heart disease, and other ailments." According to Ross, a federal judge has temporarily halted this action, but she emphasized that the battle is ongoing.
Later that day, at 17:05 UTC, Ross commented on the state of affairs during Trump's initial weeks in office. She remarked that "The first weeks of the Trump administration have been nothing short of tumultuous." Her office has reportedly received increased communication from constituents. Ross urged individuals to continue voicing their opinions and using their influence effectively.
In another tweet posted at 17:25 UTC on February 11th without any accompanying text or context except links (link), Congresswoman Ross left followers with two URLs pointing presumably to additional content or statements related to these issues.
