60 years after the Voting Rights Act was signed, extreme Republicans are working to create new barriers to the ballot box. Today, I joined @housedemocrats.bsky.social to introduce the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act and protect the right to vote and safeguard our democracy.

I'm deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Congressman Sylvester Turner. Congressman Turner devoted his life to public service and the City of Houston. His dedication to our country will not be forgotten, and my thoughts are with his loved ones during this difficult time.

Since taking office, Trump has prioritized appeasing Putin and billionaires over the American people at every turn. Tonight's address was more of the same. My full statement ⤵️

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

I refuse to give Trump an audience to spew his lies & will be boycotting tonight's Joint Address. (2/2) youtu.be/v6BbiT-nBCE

Trump's presidency has been extremely alarming—we've seen rising grocery costs, attempts to slash Medicare, mass firings of critical workers by Musk, & the White House abandoning our democratic allies. (1/2)

It was great meeting @durhamcounty.bsky.social to discuss Durham’s continued growth and development. Thank you for all the work that you do to support our community, and I look forward to continuing our work together to support residents of Durham County.

CFPB is a consumer watchdog agency that protects Americans from unfair, deceptive, and abusive corporate practices. I joined over 200 @housedemocrats.bsky.social in challenging the Trump Administration’s unlawful dismantling of the CFPB in court ⤵️ assistantdemocraticleader.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Today, I joined over 200 @housedemocrats.bsky.social to share one voice and one clear message: Speaker Johnson and Republicans need to keep their hands off of Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. Read the full letter:

Decarbonizing concrete & asphalt manufacturing is an opportunity to reduce GHG emissions while creating good-paying jobs in America. I'm proud to reintroduce the bipartisan IMPACT Act with Congressman Max Miller to advance ultralow-carbon concrete production. foushee.house.gov/media/press-...

During Women's History Month, we celebrate the courageous women who have built, strengthened, and inspired our country. Their legacies have shaped the world for the better, and as a member of the @demwomencaucus.bsky.social, I honor this history by continuing to fight for women today.

The United States must stand up for freedom and democracy, and we must show our unwavering support to Ukraine as it continues to defend its sovereignty against Putin’s aggression. (2/2)

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

It is absolutely shameful for President Trump and Vice President Vance to treat our democratic ally with such utter disrespect and disregard, all in order to seek favor with Vladimir Putin. (1/2)

As #BlackHistoryMonth comes to a close, I spoke on the House Floor to celebrate the rich contributions of Black Americans to our country, and the value of DEI initiatives and HBCUs. This month is an important reminder of our resiliency, and what we have overcome & can achieve. youtu.be/2687nb50AVI

The Artemis Program will send humans to the Moon & beyond—efforts compromised by the threat of federal firings. In my first hearing as Ranking Member of the Space Subcommittee, I stood with NASA’s workforce & vowed not to stand for handing the keys to lunar exploration to China. youtu.be/iTUSHJNi2xw

I joined my Democrat Science Committee colleagues on the House floor to tell some of the stories we are hearing from federal workers who’ve been fired by President Trump and Elon Musk. These people were carrying out critical work, and their stories matter. #sciencefirings youtu.be/IJ7Jwh_DLFI
