During a visit to Duke, U.S. Rep. @foushee.house.gov met with @spaceatduke.bsky.social leaders and discussed the future of U.S. space exploration and policy. She emphasized the role of research universities in preparing the next generation of scientists and policymakers. duke.is/foushee-spac...
I led 24 Democrats in demanding that 'AI & Crypo Czar' David Sacks and Office of Science and Technology Policy Director Michael Kratsios provide the names of those serving on the Council of Advisors on Science and Technology and reverse course on proposed cuts to federal science agencies. (2/2)
OWASA was awarded $2.2M in federal grants to improve our drinking water infrastructure. Awarded through @foushee.house.gov's office, these funds will offset the cost of PFAS treatment and a new clearwell for the community’s drinking water. Read more: ow.ly/wJUC50YiptX
Having started my public service at the school board level, I know how impactful school counselors are to our students. I thank Annie for her work and will continue to fight in Congress for funding to be restored to support our local schools.
It was great to visit Pittsboro Elementary School to highlight the Library of Congress Surplus Books Program which donates books to local schools and non-profits. Our children are our future, and I’m always proud to uplift programs like these which help bridge the education gap in our community.
Trump's threats of strikes on Iran are not acceptable. Congress must stop him before we are launched into another disastrous war. I am a cosponsor of Reps. Khanna and Massie's War Powers Resolution and will support the discharge petition to prevent Trump from putting servicemembers in harm's way.
Trump officials say there's a 90% chance of strikes on Iran. He can’t without Congress. Rep. Thomas Massie & I have a War Powers Resolution to debate & vote on war before putting U.S. troops in harm’s way. I will make a motion to discharge to force a vote on it next week.
It was great to join @durhamcounty.bsky.social at the Triangle Wastewater Treatment Plant to discuss the over $1 million in federal funding coming to Durham for the Park Page Lift Station. I’m proud to have delivered this funding to help safeguard public health and environmental quality in our area.
The American people deserve better than a government led by individuals with deep ties to Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted child sex trafficker. Howard Lutnick must resign immediately. (2/2) Ready my full statement: foushee.house.gov/media/press-...
The new batch of Epstein files references Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick 223 times and cites meetings between Lutnick and Epstein even after Epstein’s conviction for soliciting prostitution from a minor. (1/2)
It was great to join local farmers and agriculture leaders at the Orange County Agriculture Summit! Farmers are the backbone of NC—our state needs Congress to ensure proper federal funding and the passage of a strong Farm Bill that supports farmers and protects consumers.
I’m not going to dignify Rep. Randy Fine’s disgusting comments from this weekend by amplifying them in any way. However, his comments are an undeniable representation of the rising racism, hate, and Islamophobia we are seeing across this country. It’s right here in the halls of Congress. (1/2)
It was great to deliver cards to veterans at the Durham VA ahead of Valentine’s Day. Our nation’s veterans have sacrificed so much for our country—I’ll always show them the love and support they deserve.
