I told U.S. Department of Energy Secretary Wright directly that this Administration has failed the American people by ignoring the need to regulate utility providers and data centers.

— Blackburn AI framework: unauthorized AI training ≠ fair use — Foushee disclosure bill: label AI-generated content, full stop Take action and ask your reps to support these bills!!

Coal ash actively puts drinking water, land, and air quality at risk. I helped lead 33 @housedemocrats.bsky.social in demanding that this proposal is withdrawn in order to save lives.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govJun 17(source)

At the direction of the Trump Administration, the EPA is attempting to weaken safeguards surrounding coal ash—the byproduct of the burning of coal to generate power.

Rep. Foushee Introduces Bill to Establish Federal Gun Violence Prevention Database | U.S. Congresswoman Valerie Foushee

The Official U.S. Congressional website of Congresswoman Valerie Foushee

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govJun 17(source)

I’m introducing the Gun Violence Prevention and Public Safety Database Act, which builds from my National Gun Violence Research Act by requiring the CDC to establish an online database of research relating to gun violence in our country.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govJun 17(source)

Combatting the gun violence epidemic not only requires taking guns off our streets—our government must also be transparent in providing Americans with the tools to keep communities on the right path.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govJun 10(source)

I appreciate Refugee Council USA for taking the time to share more about their firsthand experiences and will continue the fight to expand pathways to citizenship and ensure our institutions are putting human beings first.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govJun 10(source)

I had the pleasure of meeting with Refugee Council USA and heard from constituents who are working with humanitarian organizations supporting refugees, asylum seekers and displaced populations. We must ensure that the rights of immigrants, asylum seekers, and citizens are always being respected.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govJun 9(source)

With bills like this, Republicans are telling you they care more about attacking immigrants than actually delivering anything for the American people. Believe them.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govJun 9(source)

I proudly voted against the GOP’s out-of-touch effort to provide another $70 billion for ICE. There is not a single dollar in this bill that will help lower the cost of living.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govJun 9(source)

I’m grateful for their work and will always support their mission of ensuring proper reproductive care is available for every single American.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govJun 9(source)

It was great to meet with Planned Parenthood in Washington today! Planned Parenthood and its affiliates have been helping to protect and defend access to reproductive care for decades.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govJun 9(source)

People have been killed. Masked agents are locking away families. Still, this Administration is focused on continuing this cruelty rather than providing funding for assistance programs that many in our community depend on.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govJun 9(source)

Trump says the government can’t afford to fund healthcare while we fight the wars that he started. Now, Republicans are trying to stuff another $70 billion for ICE through Congress.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govJun 9(source)

Gun violence continues to plague our communities here in North Carolina and across the country. This month, we honor the victims and survivors of gun violence and recommit ourselves to taking action to stop these tragedies.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govJun 5(source)

These universities are inherently taking a political stance by ignoring the identities of millions of Americans, and many of the students at these schools. Our LGBTQI+ community should not be hidden away, they should be celebrated.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govJun 5(source)

I am deeply disappointed that UNC Chapel Hill and UNC Greensboro have deleted their posts about Pride Month under the guise of ‘neutrality on political and social issues’. www.newsobserver.com/news/local/e...

UNC Athletics celebrated Pride month in social media post. Now, it’s deleted.

Pride month posts from both UNC-Chapel Hill and UNC Greensboro have been deleted.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govJun 5(source)

Our country should always stand with the innocent people being affected by wars, not the power-hungry dictators who instigate them.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govJun 5(source)

Lost in the devastation caused across the country and around the globe due to the Trump Administration, our government has not properly supported the Ukrainian people against Putin’s regime.
