Adams Statement on Massie Amendment to Republican Foreign Aid Budget	2026-07-16	2026	2026-07	Democrat	House	NC	Alma S. Adams	A000370	adams.house.gov	adams	https://adams.house.gov/media-center/press-releases	scraper	WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Congresswoman Alma S. Adams, Ph.D. (NC-12), issued the following statement regarding her vote in opposition to the Massie Amendment to the National Security Department of State, & Related Programs Appropriations Bill, which failed in the House of Representatives on Wednesday evening, July 15, 2026. “I share the deep frustration so many Americans feel about how conflicts in Gaza and Iran have unfolded, and I have not been silent about the need for accountability and lasting peace. That is why I have co-sponsored the Block the Bombs Act to end the shipment of destructive weapons to Israel. However, a vague amendment that jeopardizes humanitarian and diplomatic efforts in the region is the wrong vehicle. “The Massie Amendment was broadly written; it included non-military funding cuts that would limit humanitarian aid, cut refugee resettlement support programs, reduce U.S. Embassy operations, and inhibit peacebuilding efforts in the Middle East. “I could not support a measure this broad, even to make an important point. “My opposition to this amendment is a rejection of a blunt instrument that would have caused collateral damage to programs that save lives.”	1	2026-07-17T07:15:58Z	2026-07-17T07:17:05Z
