Today, I made my easiest vote to date in Congress: I voted to protect Medicaid for millions of North Carolinians. The American people will not forget Republican's unconscionable attempt to destroy this critical program in favor of tax cuts for the wealthy. My full statement:

Republicans are trying to strip Medicaid from 16 million Americans so that billionaires can keep even more money in their pockets. I was proud to stand with my @housedemocrats.bsky.social colleagues today to make it clear: we are voting no on this reckless budget proposal.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govFeb 24(source)

This week, the House is voting on a $1 trillion cut to Medicaid which provides health coverage to 2 million North Carolinians. This is a betrayal of the American people, and I hope a few Republicans show some courage and finally join us in stopping this outrageous budget scheme.

Hey DOGE, this is what I did last week: I uncovered that NASA gave you access to confidential data. NASA's response to our letter is disturbing and I will do everything in my power as Ranking Member of the Space Subcommittee to combat these illegal actions. www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/s...

‘No legitimate rationale’: Lawmakers raise concerns over what NASA won’t say about DOGE | CNN

A new letter addressed to acting NASA chief Janet Petro calls out the space agency for failing to answer questions raised by lawmakers earlier this month.

Today marks 3 years since Putin's brutal and unprovoked invasion of Ukraine. Despite Trump's baseless lies and attempts to appease Russia, House Democrats will continue to stand for the Ukrainian people and their fight for freedom.

It was a pleasure to join Mayor Leonardo Williams’ 2025 State of the City Address last week. Thank you for your tireless dedication to this city, and I’m excited to keep working together to ensure Durham’s growth and development.

On this day in 1956, Dr. King, Rosa Parks, and other key civil rights activists were arrested for leading the landmark Montgomery Bus Boycotts. As we honor their courageous actions, we must continue their legacy and fight the injustices that continue to plague our society today.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govFeb 21(source)

I joined @ross.house.gov and @adams.house.gov in urging this administration to reconsider these drastic cuts that will have lasting impacts on our state. (2/2)

Trump's plan to cut Office of Community Planning and Development staff by 84% will cripple North Carolina's ability to rebuild homes and support businesses in the wake of Hurricane Helene. (1/2)

Reposted byCongresswoman Valerie Foushee

Representative Deborah Ross@ross.house.govFeb 21(source)

Cutting staff that administer aid for rebuilding homes and supporting small businesses in Western North Carolina is reprehensible, especially during this cold winter. That's why @foushee.house.gov, @adams.house.gov, and I sent a letter to President Trump demanding his reckless plan does not happen.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govFeb 21(source)

Today marks 60 years since the assassination of human rights activist, Malcolm X. He was a guiding force of the civil rights movement, and we must honor his life and legacy by continuing the fight for true justice, dignity, and equality for all.

Trump's comments about President Zelensky are shameful and show his fragility as a leader. Russia started this war, but Trump is willing to sell off Ukraine's freedom to stay on Putin's good side. This isn't "America First". It's Russia First. www.axios.com/2025/02/19/t...

Trump calls Zelensky a "dictator" in latest smear

The attack marks a new low in the rapidly deteriorating U.S.-Ukraine relationship.

The Trump-Musk order to fire federal employees who provide critical services to everyday Americans is a senseless approach to government efficiency. Over 50,000 North Carolinians are federal employees, and I will keep fighting to protect their livelihoods. My full statement:

It was great meeting with @orangehabitat.bsky.social to discuss how Congress can address rising housing costs and barriers to homeownership. Everyone deserves a safe and affordable place to call home, and I will continue to support federal programs to make homeownership more accessible for all.

This week, I met with local AFGE leaders to hear their concerns and the challenges they face as Trump continues to attack our civil servants. Our federal workers are essential to keeping our roads, skies, environment, & community safe. In Congress, I’ll fight to defend their jobs and their rights.

Gutting USAID would be disastrous—and as the fourth highest state recipient of its funding, we will feel the harmful impacts right here in NC. I welcome the recent court ruling ordering Trump to restore USAID's funding that is essential for our national security. apnews.com/article/usai...

Judge orders Trump administration to temporarily allow funds for foreign aid to flow again

A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to temporarily lift a three-week funding freeze that has shut down U.S. aid and development programs abroad.
