SNAP funding runs out tomorrow, but Trump refuses to use the funds available to extend this program during the shutdown. Now, 42 million Americans, including 16 million children, could lose the food assistance they depend on. This isn't a partisan issue, it's a moral one.

In 2026, a family of four in Chapel Hill could face a $4,000 increase to their health care costs compared to 2025. That's why @housedemocrats.bsky.social are fighting to extend the Obamacare tax credits. To preview 2026 ACA insurance premiums, visit Healthcare.gov. (1/2)

Thank you Rep. Foushee @foushee.house.gov for sending a letter to EPA Administrator Zeldin asking him not to revoke the Endangerment Finding, a foundational part of the EPA’s ability to protect us from the health effects of climate change. We appreciate you standing up for our kids.

Trump's refusal to use contingency funds on SNAP is a heartless attack on American families who need assistance the most. I joined @housedemocrats.bsky.social in calling on the USDA to use these funds in order to maintain SNAP benefits throughout the month of November.

Federal employees keep our country running. Congress must do everything in its power to support them and ensure their needs are met. (2/2)

My staff and I volunteered with the Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina to distribute food to federal workers at RDU who are losing pay due to the ongoing government shutdown. (1/2)

Our government is shut down, healthcare costs are out of control, and inflation hit 3% for the first time since January. But destroying the White House to make a ballroom is the 'main priority' for Trump and the GOP.

Leavitt: At this moment in time, the ballroom is really the president's main priority.

This week, I joined Jordan High School AP Government students for a discussion on the history and inner workings of Congress. These students are the future of our nation, and I'll always support efforts to help them achieve their personal and academic goals.

Thank you to @foushee.house.gov and @repdexteror.bsky.social ― among many other Members of Congress ― as well as their staff for taking the time to meet with us, even during these challenging circumstances.

We are 23 days into the shutdown. Still, Republicans refuse to negotiate and now Trump is spending millions on a new ballroom in the White House. While Republicans serve themselves, Democrats are fighting to reopen the government, extend the ACA tax credits, and lower costs for working families.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govOct 23(source)

North Carolinians are not political pawns. We deserve fair congressional maps that reflect the voices of communities across our state. Instead, the Republican-controlled NCGA is again subjecting the people of our great state to unfair maps that will disenfranchise voters. My full statement ⤵️

Happy Diwali to everyone celebrating in #NC04! Wishing you a wonderful festival of lights with your friends, family, and loved ones.

The American people are being held hostage. In my state, a 45-year-old making $62,000 will see their average health insurance costs rise by over $1,500. Families don’t need promises about holding certain votes, they need affordable healthcare.

On @meetthepress.com, Senate Majority Leader Thune digs in on the short-term funding bill, saying negotiations can happen after that at the appropriations level. He likens Democrats to "hostage" takers who are "hijacking" the process to pursue ideological demands. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

Once the rules of engagement are set, I believe Democrats should use those same rules to fight back. I joined NC Capital Tonight to talk more about how we can push back against Republicans' attempts to rig our elections by illegally redrawing North Carolina's maps.

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

I don't agree with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene often, but moms like her and I know that the cost of healthcare—and just about everything—is far too high. The American people can't afford this Administration, and that's why Democrats are fighting back.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govOct 16(source)

As the Supreme Court considers whether to gut what is left of the Voting Rights Act, I stand with the Congressional Black Caucus in defense of the sacred right to vote. The VRA must be upheld to protect our democracy and ensure the voices of our Black and Brown communities can be heard.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govOct 16(source)

Despite being unable to pass a state budget, the Republican NCGA is now prioritizing the passage of partisan Congressional maps. Democrats won across the statewide ballot in November, and these changes would further misrepresent our evenly divided state. North Carolinians deserve better.

Republican lawmakers in North Carolina announced plans on Monday to redraw the state’s already gerrymandered congressional maps to further favor their party. The most likely target is the First Congressional District, which has the state’s only competitive House seat.
