For over two decades, @USCIRF has exposed regimes that imprison, torture, and kill people for practicing their faith. Thank you, @POTUS, for signing my bill reauthorizing USCIRF into law tonight and ensuring its vital work to defend religious freedom worldwide continues.
Today, Tuesday, November 3, 2026, President Donald J. Trump signed into law:
H.R. 1744, the “United States Commission on International Religious Freedom Reauthorization Act of 2026,” which extends and authorizes annual appropriations for the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom through Fiscal Year 2028; and
H.R. 8205, the “Accelerating Access to Critical Therapies for ALS Reauthorization Act of 2026,” which reauthorizes the Accelerating Access to Critical Therapies for ALS Act through Fiscal Year 2031.

Our delegation has consistently emphasized North Carolina’s unique ability to contribute to missions of national importance, and our state continues to deliver on this end. We sent a letter supporting @DeptofWar's AUTOCOM proposal and recommended basing the combatant command in our state. axios.com/local/raleigh/2026…
Thanks to @USDOT, approximately $36 million is heading to North Carolina to improve rail safety. This investment will strengthen transportation options, support local jobs, and boost the state’s economy. wlos.com/news/local/36-milli…
My NC colleagues & I are advocating for the new Autonomous Warfare Command to be headquartered in North Carolina.
Our military installations are national leaders in integrating emerging technologies & advanced weapons systems. We have the warfighters, industry, & research to make AUTOWARCOM successful. budd.senate.gov/2026/11/02/b…
A blue-collar revolution is taking hold across our economy. As American manufacturing returns and new industries invest in our communities, demand for skilled workers is growing. That means more pathways to good-paying careers that don’t require a four-year degree.
Only American citizens should vote in American elections. We must protect the integrity of our elections & hold those who vote illegally accountable.
Grateful to @HSI_HQ, @TheJusticeDept, & our U.S. Attorneys for their continued work to uncover & prosecute illegal voting in North Carolina.
🗳️ Justice Department Charges 18 MORE IN NORTH CAROLINA with Illegally Voting in 2024 Election: DOJ Has Charged 30 People in North Carolina this Year for Illegally Voting
“Illegal voting is just that: illegal,” said Acting Deputy Attorney General @PADAGMcCotter. “If you’re not an American citizen, you cannot vote in our federal elections. We want to prevent illegal voting from occurring, which is why we’ve now charged 30 people just in North Carolina who have violated our laws by illegally registering to vote and illegally voting. We need to preserve the integrity of the ballot box by ensuring only those eligible are casting ballots.”

I enjoyed visiting @SiemensUSA's Wendell campus to see firsthand how innovative technologies, such as its microgrid, can improve reliability, strengthen community resilience, and help meet our state's growing energy needs.

Weed delivered to your mailbox, right where your kids grab the mail.
Sens. James Lankford @SenatorLankford and Ted Budd @SenTedBuddNC just asked the Postal Service to keep its ban on mailing marijuana.
Their reason: the rate of kids under 6 swallowing drugs rose 3,307% from 2000 to 2024, and cannabinoids made up 85% of cases.
Thank you, Senators. Keep it out of the mail.

North Carolina has seen firsthand how vital our first responders are. When Hurricane Helene devastated WNC, firefighters, law enforcement, and emergency personnel ran toward danger, saved lives, and helped their neighbors. Today—and every day—we are grateful they answer the call.
I'm glad the Aberdeen Carolina & Western Railway received funding from @USDOT. Upgrading North Carolina's rail infrastructure to handle heavier loads & increasing speed will ensure products can move quickly & efficiently, helping our state drive the nation's economy forward. prnewswire.com/news-releases…
Congratulations to Keith, Aviva, and the entire Siegel family on the wonderful blessing of a granddaughter! There is no greater gift than new life. May this addition bring your family great joy and continued hope for the future.
Wonder what's the secret of the miracle called Israel?
Keith Siegel, held 484 days hostage by monsters in Gaza, is home, holding his first granddaughter.
What a beautiful sight!
MAZAL TOV!

Over the past week, more than $125 million in FEMA Public Assistance & Hazard Mitigation is heading to communities across Western North Carolina.
Grateful to @POTUS, @SecMullinDHS, and @FEMA Administrator Hamilton for ensuring funding for Western North Carolina continues to roll.
Religious freedom is one of America’s most fundamental rights, and one we must defend around the world.
On International Religious Freedom Day, we stand with those facing persecution in China, Iran, Nigeria, Russia, and elsewhere. America must continue to advocate for every person’s right to freely practice their faith.
Americans from around the country, including thousands of North Carolinians, serve and defend our nation every day around the world.
On Day of the Deployed, we honor those servicemembers carrying out their mission abroad and pray for their safe return home.
Major step forward for American airpower, national security, & Cherry Point, North Carolina.
My Airpower Acceleration Act anchors @DeptofWar's 10-year F-35 deal, backed by $7B in private capital from @LockheedMartin.
Now Congress must pass the NDAA with my F-35 multi-year procurement provision & deliver an on-time budget to finalize the deal. war.gov/News/Releases/Releas…

As North Carolina electrifies, its energy infrastructure needs to keep pace⚡
Great to host @SenTedBuddNC at our Wendell campus to see how Siemens technologies, including our microgrid, can strengthen community resilience, improve reliability and help meet rising energy demand.
Investing in people is essential to building the workforce advanced manufacturing will need for the future.
@CaterpillarInc. is allocating $10 million in North Carolina to prepare current and future workers for jobs in modern manufacturing and industrial technician roles.

Great news for North Carolina! R.J. Corman has been awarded a grant to strengthen the Raleigh & Fayetteville Railroad.
Investing in short line railroads helps connect NC businesses to national markets, strengthen supply chains, & create more opportunities for economic growth across our state. rjcorman.com/newsroom/press-…
