It was a pleasure visiting the Harvard & Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, home to the Chandra X-ray Observatory and the world’s most powerful X-ray telescope, with @pressley.house.gov to learn more about their cutting-edge research in AI, astronomy, and astrophysics. (1/3)

On today's Democratic Daily Download, Rep. Rashida Tlaib explains how Trump's Big Ugly Law betrays our communities: Ripping away health care and food for families all to give tax breaks to billionaires.

Every single House Republican bent the knee to Trump and voted against releasing the Epstein Files. Redacting the victims' names and releasing the files would be easy. Either Trump lied to the American people or Republicans are engaging in a cover-up, you decide.

Intimidating and slashing NASA’s workforce will have devastating impacts on the U.S. space program as we know it. A strong NASA is vital to our economic and national security. I’m exploring all avenues as Ranking Member of the Space & Aeronautics Subcommittee to preserve NASA’s workforce.

At least 2,145 senior-ranking NASA employees are set to leave as part of a push to reduce staff.

I am deeply saddened by the news of the floods in Texas, and my heart is with the victims, their loved ones, and the first responders during this difficult time. Now more than ever, it's imperative that FEMA use its resources to assist recovery efforts. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

Live updates: Texas floods kill at least 90, including 27 from Camp Mystic, with more rain expected

More flash flooding is expected Monday in Texas’s Hill Country, where authorities are still searching for victims of last week’s flooding catastrophe.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govJul 7(source)

I urge everyone in the impacted areas to prioritize safety by heeding official notices and avoiding travel on flooded and damaged roads. (2/2) For the latest updates and alerts, please visit: Chatham County: chathamcountync.gov Durham County: alertdurham.com Orange County: readyorange.org

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govJul 7(source)

My heart is heavy seeing the widespread damage across Chatham, Durham, and Orange Counties caused by the flooding from Tropical Depression Chantal. I’m incredibly thankful for the swift actions of our first responders working tirelessly on recovery efforts. (1/2)

Wishing everyone across #NC04 and the country a happy and safe 4th of July! Today, as we celebrate our nation's core values of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, let us recommit ourselves to ensuring that every person in America can fully enjoy these fundamental rights.

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

Republicans have made it clear where their priorities lie: with the top 1%—not working Americans or those in need. Today, I voted against their tax scam which will gut food assistance and healthcare programs, and raise taxes on the lowest-income households in the country. Read my full statement.

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

Reminder: Trump and the Republicans’ Big, Ugly Bill will devastate health care access for communities across North Carolina. I’m on the House Floor ready to vote—we just need 4 Republicans to join us to stop it.

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

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social has been speaking on the House Floor for over 4 hours in opposition to Trump’s Big, Ugly bill. I’m proud to stand with him and @housedemocrats.bsky.social as we fight back against the GOP’s reckless budget. Watch live: www.youtube.com/live/3pbFrch...

Jeffries: "As a result of the all-out Republican assault on healthcare, people will die. Tens of thousands, perhaps year after year, as a result of the Republican assault on the healthcare of the American people. I'm sad. I never thought that I'd be on the House floor saying this is a crime scene"

Just took to the House Floor to speak in support of a country where everyone can afford to live the good life. And in strong opposition to Trump’s One Big Ugly Bill that is devastating to everyday Americans. We will not be silenced. www.youtube.com/live/3pbFrch...

I was proud to join my Congressional Black Caucus colleagues to call out how Republicans are targeting Black Americans with their Big, Ugly Bill. As America faces a Black maternal health crisis, Republicans are stripping away Medicaid benefits. It’s cruel and Black women deserve better.

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

Today marks 61 years since the Civil Rights Act was signed into law. As we honor this landmark piece of legislation, we know that our fight for true equality continues. Now more than ever, we must recommit ourselves to ensuring a just and fair society for all.

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

Republicans are making us wait while they try to find the votes to pass the Big, Ugly Bill. No problem, I'll wait however long it takes to defeat this bill.

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

Republicans are openly & willingly pushing for cuts to Medicaid & SNAP—programs that millions of Americans rely on to survive. My colleagues & I asked Republican leadership to consider an amendment which protects against these harmful cuts. Their response? They refused to even “entertain” the idea.

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

Trump’s Big, Ugly Bill makes the largest Medicaid cut ever, takes food assistance away from millions of Americans, and still adds to our debt by $4 trillion? You can’t claim to support hardworking Americans and vote for this bill.
