GLEN CANYON RECREATION: The House has passed a resolution (H.J. Res. 60), sponsored by Rep. Celeste Maloy, R-Utah, to disapprove of and void a National Park Service rule, issued this January, restricting the use of motor vehicles in the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area in Arizona and Utah. Maloy said that by cancelling the rule, “We can ensure that Glen Canyon remains a place of freedom, adventure, and opportunity for generations to come and isn’t a hindrance to the local economies.” A resolution opponent, Rep. Jared Huffman, D-Calif., said the rule appropriately “balances visitor use and access with the long-term stewardship and management of park resources.” The vote, on April 29, was 219 yeas to 205 nays.

  • YEAS: Harrigan R-NC (10th), Foxx R-NC (5th), Hudson R-NC (9th), Murphy R-NC (3rd), Rouzer R-NC (7th), Harris (NC) R-NC (8th), McDowell R-NC (6th), Edwards R-NC (11th), Knott R-NC (13th), Davis (NC) D-NC (1st), Moore (NC) R-NC (14th)

John James, R-Mich., to disapprove of and void an Environmental Protection Agency notice granting the California Air Resources Board a waiver allowing that state to impose various emissions standards on motor vehicles. James said a waiver “allows California to ram its comply-or-die, zero-emission truck rule down the throat of the American trucking industry, essentially gutting the trucking industry all across Michigan and across the country.” A resolution opponent, Rep. Luz M. Rivas, D-Calif., said: “Strong vehicle standards protect Americans from expensive and volatile fossil fuels and accelerate the adoption of cleaner vehicle technologies to help us compete globally.” The vote, on April 30, was 231 yeas to 191 nays.

  • YEAS: Harrigan R-NC (10th), Foxx R-NC (5th), Hudson R-NC (9th), Murphy R-NC (3rd), Rouzer R-NC (7th), Harris (NC) R-NC (8th), McDowell R-NC (6th), Edwards R-NC (11th), Knott R-NC (13th), Davis (NC) D-NC (1st), Moore (NC) R-NC (14th)
  • NAYS: Adams D-NC (12th), Ross D-NC (2nd), Foushee D-NC (4th)

VEHICLE NITROGEN OXIDE EMISSIONS: The House has passed a resolution (H.J. Res. 89), sponsored by Rep. Jay Obernolte, R-Calif., to disapprove of and void an Environmental Protection Agency rule issued this January that granted the California Air Resources Board a waiver allowing the state to regulate vehicle nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions. Obernolte said: “If we were to allow every single state in the country to establish its own emission standards for those trucks, every one of these goods would have to stop at every single state line and be trans-shipped from one truck to another truck. Madam Speaker, that is ridiculous, costly, inefficient, and unnecessary.” A resolution opponent, Rep. Frank Pallone Jr., D-N.J., said: “Maintaining the California program is critical to improve public health outcomes and secure the right to clean air for everyone.” The vote, on April 30, was 225 yeas to 196 nays.

  • YEAS: Harrigan R-NC (10th), Foxx R-NC (5th), Hudson R-NC (9th), Murphy R-NC (3rd), Rouzer R-NC (7th), Harris (NC) R-NC (8th), McDowell R-NC (6th), Edwards R-NC (11th), Knott R-NC (13th), Davis (NC) D-NC (1st), Moore (NC) R-NC (14th)
  • NAYS: Adams D-NC (12th), Ross D-NC (2nd), Foushee D-NC (4th)

STATUS OF LONGFIN SMELT: The House has passed a resolution (H.J. Res. 78), sponsored by Rep. Doug LaMalfa, R-Calif., to disapprove of and void a 2024 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service rule that listed the San Francisco Bay variety of the longfin smelt fish as an endangered species. LaMalfa said: “The longfin smelt is being used as the latest weapon to take water away from farmers and take water away from people.” An opponent, Rep. Jared Huffman, D-Calif., called the listing “both scientifically and legally sound. The longfin population has declined over 99 percent since the 1980s.” The vote, on May 1, was 216 yeas to 195 nays.

  • YEAS: Harrigan R-NC (10th), Foxx R-NC (5th), Hudson R-NC (9th), Murphy R-NC (3rd), Rouzer R-NC (7th), Harris (NC) R-NC (8th), McDowell R-NC (6th), Edwards R-NC (11th), Knott R-NC (13th), Moore (NC) R-NC (14th)
  • NAYS: Adams D-NC (12th), Ross D-NC (2nd), Davis (NC) D-NC (1st), Foushee D-NC (4th)

CALIFORNIA CLEAN CARS WAIVER: The House has passed a resolution (H.J. Res. 88), sponsored by Rep. John Joyce, R-Pa., to disapprove of and void an Environmental Protection Agency notice issued this January that granted the California Air Resources Board a waiver in order to allow the state’s Advanced Clean Cars II regulatory plan. Joyce said that allowing California’s plan to require all new vehicles sold in the state in 2035 to be electric ran against the principles of consumer freedom and open markets, and would impose high costs on drivers. A resolution opponent, Rep. Paul Tonko, D-N.Y., said “after the upfront costs, EVs are proven to save consumers considerably through reduced fuel and maintenance costs.” The vote, on May 1, was 246 yeas to 164 nays.

  • YEAS: Harrigan R-NC (10th), Foxx R-NC (5th), Hudson R-NC (9th), Murphy R-NC (3rd), Rouzer R-NC (7th), Harris (NC) R-NC (8th), McDowell R-NC (6th), Edwards R-NC (11th), Knott R-NC (13th), Davis (NC) D-NC (1st), Moore (NC) R-NC (14th)
  • NAYS: Adams D-NC (12th), Ross D-NC (2nd), Foushee D-NC (4th)

Senate votes

CHINA AMBASSADOR: The Senate has confirmed the nomination of David Perdue to be Ambassador to China. Perdue was a senator from Georgia from early 2015 to early 2021; otherwise, he has been in private business, including as a senior executive at Reebok and Dollar General. A supporter, Sen. James Risch, R-Idaho, said, “We need a strong leader like David Perdue at the front of our fight with the Chinese government to execute on President Trump’s vision.” The vote, on April 29, was 67 yeas to 29 nays.

  • YEAS: Tillis R-NC, Budd R-NC

U.K. AMBASSADOR: The Senate has confirmed the nomination of Warren Stephens to be Ambassador to the United Kingdom. Stephens is chairman of the Stephens investment bank, and a leading philanthropist in Arkansas. A supporter, Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., called Stephens “the right person to lead our strong, special relationship with the United Kingdom.” The vote, on April 29, was 59 yeas to 39 nays.

  • YEAS: Tillis R-NC, Budd R-NC

TURKEY AMBASSADOR: The Senate has confirmed the nomination of Thomas Barrack to be Ambassador to Turkey. Barrack was the founder and CEO of the private equity Colony Capital (since renamed as Digital Bridge) real estate firm, and was an Interior Department official early in the Reagan administration. A supporter, Sen. James Risch, R-Idaho, called Barrack “the right man to tackle this challenging post” in Turkey, given the country’s ties to Russia and Hamas while remaining a U.S. ally. The vote, on April 29, was 60 yeas to 36 nays.

  • YEAS: Tillis R-NC, Budd R-NC

ITALY AMBASSADOR: The Senate has confirmed the nomination of Tilman Fertitta to be Ambassador to Italy, and to concurrently be Ambassador to San Marino. Fertitta is primary owner of the Landry’s hospitality company, the Houston Rockets basketball franchise, and Golden Nugget Hotel and Casinos. A supporter, Sen. James Risch, R-Idaho, voiced confidence that Fertitta would help address U.S. objections to Italy’s barriers to U.S. product imports, and its relatively low military spending levels. The vote, on April 29, was 83 yeas to 14 nays.

  • YEAS: Tillis R-NC, Budd R-NC

APPLIANCE ENERGY STANDARDS: The Senate has passed a resolution (H.J. Res. 42), sponsored by Rep. Andrew S. Clyde, R-Ga., to disapprove of and void an Energy Department rule issued last October that tightened energy efficiency requirements for consumer appliances such as washing machines, and industrial climate controls. A resolution supporter, Sen. Jon Husted, R-Ohio, said: “This rule wastes time and money, raising costs without delivering meaningful energy savings on items like dishwashers, clothes washers, and HVAC systems.” The vote, on April 30, was 52 yeas to 46 nays.

  • YEAS: Tillis R-NC, Budd R-NC

TARIFFS EMERGENCY DECLARATION: The Senate has rejected a resolution (S.J. Res. 49), sponsored by Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., that would have voided President Trump’s declaration a month ago of an emergency that involved imposing a base 10% tariff on imports into the U.S., with additional tariffs imposed for numerous specific countries. Wyden said the Senate “cannot be an idle spectator in the tariff madness. The Congress has the power to set tariffs and regulate global trade.” A resolution opponent, Sen. Mike Crapo, R-Idaho, said “disapproving this emergency will undercut the serious negotiations that are underway, which are also yielding results” for the U.S. The vote, on April 30, was 49 yeas to 49 nays. A subsequent motion to reconsider the resolution was tabled by a 50 yeas to 49 nays vote, with Vice President Vance as the 50th yea.

  • NAYS: Tillis R-NC, Budd R-NC

REGULATING COMMERCIAL REFRIGERATORS: The Senate has passed a resolution (H.J. Res. 75), sponsored by Rep. Craig Goldman, R-Texas, that would nullify and void an Energy Department rule issued this January that set out energy efficiency standards for commercial refrigeration products. A resolution supporter, Sen. Ashley Moody, R-Fla., said keeping the standards “would force commercial fridge and freezer manufacturers to discontinue product lines and close factories in the U.S.” An opponent, Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., said the standards save energy, cut climate emissions, and “reduce costs for American families and businesses.” The vote, on May 1, was 52 yeas to 45 nays.

  • YEAS: Tillis R-NC, Budd R-NC

REGULATING AIR POLLUTANTS: The Senate has passed a resolution (S.J. Res. 31), sponsored by Sen. John R. Curtis, R-Utah, that would disapprove of and void an Environmental Protection Agency rule regarding emitters of persistent, bioaccumulative hazardous air pollutants. The vote, on May 1, was 52 yeas to 46 nays.

  • YEAS: Tillis R-NC, Budd R-NC

North Carolina lawmakers react to Venezuela strikes, Maduro capture

North Carolina lawmakers react to Venezuela strikes, Maduro capture


ASHEVILLE – Expressing a range of support and skepticism, North Carolina lawmakers are reacting to react to the United States bombing of Venezuelan military sites and the capture of President Nicolas Maduro on Jan 2.

The morning of Jan. 3, President Donald Trump announced that the United States had captured Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro and his wife and bombed military sites in the country’s capital, Caracas. During a press conference in the early afternoon, Trump said the United States would “run” the country until a new leader could be appointed. Congress had not been told about the operation due to concerns lawmakers would “leak” information, Trump said.

According to USA TODAY, citing CNN reporting, a plane carrying Maduro and Flores landed at Stewart Air National Guard Base in New York the afternoon of Jan. 3.

Republican Sen. Ted Budd of North Carolina expressed support for the president’s actions in a statement on social media, calling Maduro “an illegitimate dictator who has long been wanted in the U.S. on charges of narco-terrorism, corruption, & drug trafficking.”

“These actions are within the President’s Article II authority & send a clear message to America’s enemies our nation will not allow threats to our safety & security to continue unchecked,” Budd, who serves on the Senate Armed Services Committee, wrote on X Jan. 3.

As of 5 p.m. on Jan 3., Republican Rep. Chuck Edwards, who represents much of Western North Carolina, had not yet released a statement on the events in Venezuela. On Jan. 1, Edwards published an op-ed in the Washington Times in support of Trump’s directive to strike boats off the coast of the Latin American country. The president has said the boats facilitated “narcoterrorism.”

The Citizen Times has reached out to Edwards’ office and the office of Republican Sen. Thom Tillis, who has also not yet issued a statement on the president’s actions. Tillis is not seeking re-election.

Adam Smith, a former Green Beret running against Edwards in the Republican primary for North’s Carolina 11th Congressional District, said Maduro’s arrest “represents a decisive and long-overdue action in defense of the Western Hemisphere and the security interests of the United States and its allies.”

Democrats skeptical of legality

In a statement on X, North Carolina Rep. Deborah Ross for the Second Congressional District, said that Trump, while acting “without regard for the constitution and without considering the long-term consequences for our security or our democracy” sought to capture a “despot who stole elections, imprisoned his political opponents, and trampled on the rights and dignity of his people.”

“Using military force to remove a foreign head of state unquestionably requires congressional authorization. Trump ignored that requirement, once again thumbing his nose at our constitution and Congress. At a minimum, Congress must be fully and transparently briefed and then take appropriate action,” Ross wrote in her statement.

Though former governor and North Carolina Democratic Senate Candidate Roy Cooper has not released a statement on Maduro’s capture, Republican Senate candidate Michael Whatley said he supported Trump’s decision in a post on X.

“He has taken decisive and aggressive action to dismantle the criminal networks responsible for addiction, violence, and death no matter where they operate or how powerful they claim to be,” Whatley said. “I am proud to support a President who will stop at nothing to protect our people and hold those who traffic death into our country fully responsible.”

As protests were expected across the country the afternoon of Jan. 3, around 75 protestors gathered in Pack Square Plaza in Asheville around 2:30 p.m. holding signs that said “no blood for oil” and “stop bombing Venezuela.”

Protestor Jeffrey DeCristofaro said he had been planning to rest on Jan. 3 but came to the protest after he felt Trump’s actions were “more than just illegal, but dangerous.” Given the lack of details on the future of the conflict, the strikes have made him feel uneasy.

“I didn’t know what to make of it,” DeCristofaro said of Trump stating the United States would “run” Venezuela. “I’m kind of walking a tightrope between passionate anger and cynical exhaustion.”

Holding a sign stating “money for people’s needs, not the war machine,” Anne Turnbow-Raustol said she attended the protest amid what she felt was “hypocrisy” by the Trump administration, comparing Trump’s decision to capture Maduro as similar to how the Venezuelan president operates.

“I don’t think any of it is legal,” Turnbow-Raustol said.

How North Carolina’s Offense Looked in December


While the North Carolina Tar Heels’ defense has been the most consistent feature of the team, the offensive operation has been up and down throughout the course of the season.

Those struggles extended into December, but with Seth Trimble returning to the lineup, there have been glimpses of what the offense can be when at full strength. The veteran guard had missed nine consecutive games, dating back to early November. Trimble had not played since Nov. 7 against the Kansas Jayhawks.

Let’s take a closer look at how North Carolina’s offense performed in the month of December.

Assessing the Tar Heels Offense in December

Through the first six games of this month, North Carolina is averaging 79.1 points per game, which is inflated by a 99-point outing against East Carolina this past Monday. The scoring output has not been the issue for Tar Heels. The problem has been the team’s slow starts, specifically when Trimble was not in the lineup.

While speaking with the media earlier this month, head coach Hubert Davis discussed North Carolina’s sluggish starts and how it was becoming problematic.

  • “I don’t want them to take time because every team is different,” Davis said. “When you go into conference play, everybody has a way that they play on both ends of the floor. I don’t want to get off to slow starts. I felt like we did. It wasn’t just defensively. I didn’t feel like we were sharp on the offensive end. I think the first 12 shots that we took, seven of them were from three.”

  • “I thought on both ends of the floor it took us a little while to get into the rhythm, and once we did, which it started with us defensively, I felt like it translated on the offensive end as well,” Davis said.

  • “No, I don’t. I wouldn’t necessarily say that we’ve consistently gotten off to slow starts,” Davis said. “I would say that at times we haven’t been consistent at the beginning, where we’ve gotten off to a fast start and then we had a four- or six-minute lull on both ends of the floor. We allow a team to come back. We’re in a situation where maybe we could extend the lead.”

It is difficult to say that North Carolina has completely figured it out in Trimble’s first two games back in the fold, as the Tar Heels were lackluster in the first half against Ohio State, but were firing on all cylinders against East Carolina. It is somewhere in the middle, but conference play will reveal exactly where this offense stands. Overall, the offensive performance was a mixed bag in December.
