Today, I proudly voted in favor of a War Powers Resolution to stop our involvement in Israel’s killing of civilians in Lebanon.

Well put -- this bill simply does not meet the moment

As Co-Chair of the House Democratic AI Commission, I want to be clear that I do not support the draft AI bill proposed by Reps. Obernolte and Trahan in its current form. Please see the Commission’s full statement below.

"there is an effort to do preemption of any state regs on model development" 🤦🏾

269 page AI bill from Reps Obernolte (R) and Trahan (D) dropped this morning -- just digging in, but there is an effort to do preemption of any state regs on model development...devil is in the details, but doesnt seem great happy reading: www.politico.com/2026/06/04/o...

These instances are a powerful reminder why companies must be able to be held accountable by the people harmed by their products, and why Congress must protect state laws that further regulate this technology.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govJun 4(source)

Rep. Mike Thompson and I are demanding that OpenAI and Google DeepMind brief members of Congress on reports and lawsuits alleging that chatbots have been used in connection to violent acts on multiple occasions.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govJun 4(source)

I am very glad that an Iran War Powers Resolution passed the House yesterday and was proud to vote in favor. This war continues to put servicemembers and civilians abroad at risk while raising costs here at home. Trump must put an end to it immediately.

Congressman Greg Casar@repcasar.bsky.socialJun 3(source)

BREAKING: The House just passed a War Powers Resolution to end Trump's illegal war. Both houses of Congress have now passed bipartisan resolutions demanding the war end. The Constitution gives Congress, not the president, power to declare war. Trump must end this war now.

Bigotry and hatred have no place in Congress or anywhere in our country. The LGBTQI+ community deserve elected leaders who will defend their rights, not fuel division and discrimination.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govJun 3(source)

Though I am glad Rep. Ogles has deleted his hateful post, this is just one of his many tweets attacking the LGBTQI+ community including criticizing what he calls ‘radical LGBTQ+ propaganda’.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govJun 3(source)

Ending homelessness remains one of the fights of our generation, and I’m glad to work with local groups to support the expansion of housing and family services.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govJun 3(source)

It was great to visit Family Promise of the Triangle which is helping to end family homelessness across the region by preventing illegal evictions and providing responsive homelessness services.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govJun 3(source)

Democrats must be leaders in passing AI policies that put people first. Preempting states from passing their own AI regulations does not do that.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govJun 3(source)

As a leader in the House working towards AI policy that protects working Americans, I understand the importance of allowing local leaders to further regulate this technology.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govJun 3(source)

In light of recent reports surrounding AI policy frameworks that preempt states from further regulating AI, I want to be very clear that I oppose any and all efforts to do so.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govJun 3(source)

We have a moral obligation to ensure that our taxpayer dollars are never furthering the killing of innocent people, and I strongly encourage my colleagues to support this bill.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govJun 3(source)

With the House set to debate Rep. Rashida Tlaib’s Lebanon War Powers Resolution, I want to reiterate that I am a proud cosponsor of this bill and will vote yes. Reports indicate that our military has assisted with Israel’s strikes that are killing civilians in Lebanon. This is unacceptable.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govJun 2(source)

The upcoming holiday and the entire month of June is not only a celebration of our struggle, but a reminder that in our country, justice often only arrives after Black communities push America to confront its own hypocrisy.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govJun 2(source)

It was great to join the official North Carolina Juneteenth flag raising ceremony in Durham! Durham is a site shaped by Black resistance and leadership—and that’s exactly what Juneteenth is all about.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govJun 2(source)

While Trump and Republicans continue their all-out assault on the rights of trans Americans, I will never stop fighting for LGBTQI+ equality so that every single person can live free from discrimination and be their authentic selves.
