It was great to hear from NASA's Exploration Ground Systems team and see the NASA SLS rocket at the Vehicle Assembly Building. With Artemis II set to launch in 2026, we must ensure NASA can complete the historic effort to send humans around the moon for the first time since the Apollo program. (2/6)

This week, I had the pleasure to visit NASA Kennedy Space Center and Florida’s Space Coast as Ranking Member of the Space & Aeronautics Subcommittee. More than ever, this visit left me convinced that we must ensure robust, stable and consistent funding for NASA 🧵 (1/6)

Communities nationwide are hurting— but the GOP refused to bring legislation to the floor to help working families last week. Instead, they cancelled votes to avoid talking about Epstein in another shameful show of prioritizing Trump over everyday Americans. www.cbsnews.com/news/pce-rep...

PCE report shows U.S. inflation rose last month as Trump's tariffs boosted some prices

As Palestinians starve, the U.S. Department of State continues to give millions to the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, which has no experience in delivering aid. (1/2)

Today marks the 60th anniversary of Medicaid and Medicare. These programs are vital lifelines for millions of Americans, but the GOP made record cuts to these programs that will strip healthcare from over half a million in NC. I won't stop fighting back against these cuts.

#NC04 researchers from Duke and NC Central have been critical to developing the Wide Field Instrument that Roman relies on, and enables large-scale surveys of the sky. While Trump tries to gut this vital agency, I will keep fighting to support NASA's work and secure our leadership in space. (2/2)

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govJul 28(source)

I led a visit to NASA Goddard as Ranking Member of the Space & Aeronautics Subcommittee with @salinas.house.gov where we were able to view the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope as it nears completion and scheduled launch in 2027, or possibly as early as 2026. (1/2)

I joined @foushee.house.gov in demanding that the Trump admin release funds that rightfully belong to Wake County schools. Today, Trump reversed his decision. He should've never withheld this congressionally-approved funding to begin with.

Parents, teachers, and students will suffer if Trump withholds this education funding. I'll keep fighting alongside @foushee.house.gov to make sure NC students have the support they need. www.wral.com/story/wcpss-...

WCPSS among the nation’s biggest losers in Trump’s effort to cut school spending, US Reps say

U.S. Reps. Deborah Ross and Valerie Foushee are asking the Trump administration to un-freeze funding for North Carolina, saying Wake County public schools are being hit especially hard.

It was great meeting with @bookharvest.bsky.social to discuss how Congress can support access to early literary resources for children. Book Harvest has provided more than 2.5 million books to families in NC and I’m proud to work alongside them to ensure children have the tools they need to succeed.
