It was great meeting officials with @wakegov.bsky.social to discuss local priorities including housing affordability and support for EMS services. Thank you for the work you all do, and I look forward to continuing our work to uplift Wake County residents in the months and years ahead.

It’s outrageous that an unelected billionaire is taking over our government and is stealing personal information from the American people. With @housedemocrats.bsky.social, I’m pursuing legislation against this invasion of privacy and am calling for hearings to stop the illegal Musk/DOGE takeover.

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

Trump and Musk are trying to illegally shut down an agency established by Congress. Shuttering USAID will have a disastrous global impact. This reckless move not only threatens our national security and public safety, but will cost many Americans their jobs. thehill.com/homenews/adm...

Captain Lobach was a dedicated officer with a bright future and her service to our country will not be forgotten. I offer my heartfelt condolences to her family and all those affected by this horrible tragedy. (2/2)

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

I'm saddened to hear that Durham native and UNC graduate, Captain Rebecca Lobach, was among the victims of the crash at Reagan National Airport. (1/2)

One of 3 soldiers aboard Black Hawk chopper involved in midair collision identified as longtime aviation officer

One of three soldiers aboard an Army Black Hawk helicopter that was involved in the deadly midair collision outside Washington, D.C., was identified as Capt. Rebecca Lobach.

The federal funding freeze leaves cutting-edge research initiatives at risk, including National Institutes of Health cancer research programs. I wrote to the President and OMB Acting Director Vaeth urging them to reverse their directives and reinstate this indispensable funding.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govJan 31(source)

Trump's illegal funding freeze is a shocking attempt to steal money from hardworking, everyday Americans. I joined ABC 11 to talk more about this alarming overreach of power which will hurt North Carolinians👇 abc11.com/post/nc-agen...

North Carolina agencies scramble after confusion over federal funding freeze

NCDHHS said it's been "an all-hands-on-deck situation" working to understand how vital programs could affect people, children and families.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govJan 31(source)

I was thrilled to celebrate the launch of centralized mail delivery in the Research Triangle Park alongside @ross.house.gov, the Research Triangle Foundation and USPS. RTP is the largest research park in the nation, and mail delivery is essential to ensuring its continued growth for years to come.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govJan 31(source)

#OTD 85 years ago, the first-ever #SocialSecurity check was issued. Today, Republicans are attempting to gut this critical program and slash benefits for 70 million Americans. I will keep fighting back with @housedemocrats.bsky.social to protect and enhance these benefits for all.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govJan 30(source)

Trump's freeze on federal assistance will pause transportation projects, infrastructure spending, and air traffic controller hiring nationwide. I joined @transportdems.bsky.social in asking @usdot.bsky.social how they plan to implement these changes, and the effects it will have on our communities.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govJan 30(source)

These reckless accusations from Trump are an irresponsible attempt to politicize a national tragedy and place blame on DEI efforts. The victims, their families, and the American people deserve real answers and real solutions from this administration to prevent future collisions.

Reporter: I’m trying to figure out how you can come to the conclusion that diversity had something to do with this crash? Trump: Because I have common sense and unfortunately a lot of people don’t

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govJan 30(source)

I am heartbroken by the devastating collision at Reagan National Airport last night. My thoughts are with the families of the victims during this difficult time, and I am grateful for the bravery and swift action by the first responders on the scene.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govJan 29(source)

Trump's pause on Inflation Reduction Act and Bipartisan Infrastructure Law funding leaves thousands of infrastructure projects across the country in flux. I joined 153 @housedemocrats.bsky.social in asking this administration for a full list of initiatives frozen by this directive.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govJan 29(source)

Happy Lunar New Year to everyone celebrating in the Fourth District and beyond! May this new year bring happiness, prosperity, and good health for all. #YearOfTheSnake

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

No one should face discrimination due to their religion, ethnicity, or national origin. That’s why I am proud to cosponsor the Neighbors Not Enemies Act which will prevent the internment and deportation of people with no due process based solely on their nationality.

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

Trump’s reckless pause on federal funding is an illegal and unprecedented decision which will have catastrophic effects on essential projects and services for families and communities across the country. My statement:

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govJan 27(source)

On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we honor the 6 million Jewish people and countless others who were killed by the Nazi regime. We must continue our fight against antisemitism, bigotry, and hatred in all forms and ensure the horrors of the Holocaust are never forgotten.

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

Navigating federal agencies for passports, work authorizations, VA benefits, and more can be difficult — but my casework team is here to help! If you need assistance with federal agencies, don’t hesitate to reach out to my Durham District Office at 919-967-7924.

Trump's decision to freeze NIH communications and hiring leaves researchers in limbo, unsure if their research will continue. These indefinite delays hurt our ability to remain a global leader in scientific research and put critical projects in jeopardy. www.npr.org/sections/sho...

National Institutes of Health cancel scientific meetings after Trump directives

An email obtained by NPR says NIH employees are subject to a travel freeze and offers of employment are being rescinded. Scientists worry about disruptions to critical research.

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

In his first days in office, Trump has prioritized ending birthright citizenship and demonizing immigrants over lowering costs for working families. It's a shame Republicans continue to go down this dangerous path which undermines the principles our nation was built on.
