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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govJan 23(source)
Republicans are raising a bill to criminalize providers & threaten access to life saving care. As a @demwomencaucus.bsky.social and @reprocaucus.bsky.social member, I’m voting NO on the Repro Health Care Surveillance Act because it restricts a patient’s freedom to make their own care decisions.
Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govJan 22(source)
Overturning Roe v. Wade left millions without access to fundamental health care. Americans have the right to make decisions about their own bodies, lives, and futures. As a member of @reprocaucus.bsky.social, I will keep fighting to restore, expand, and protect reproductive freedom for all.

There was no better way to spend MLK weekend than being out in the community! It was a pleasure to spend the weekend attending commemorative events across the Fourth District to honor Dr. King and reflect on his life, teachings, and lasting legacy.
Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govJan 21(source)
Trump's first day in office included signing hundreds of executive actions to roll back climate agreements, civil rights, health care access, and more. It's a shame that our President continues to prioritize division over lowering the cost of living for hardworking Americans.
Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govJan 20(source)
On Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we honor the life and legacy of Dr. King by continuing his fight for justice and equality for all. His words are a guiding light for our nation as we work towards meaningful change in our communities and a more perfect union.

The GOP are trying to strip benefits from everyday Americans, including $3 trillion in cuts to Medicare, Medicaid, and the ACA. Thousands in NC will lose care if they get their way—I will do everything in my power to protect these hard-earned benefits. www.politico.com/news/2025/01...
Medicaid, ACA, climate measures on GOP chopping block
The menu of potential spending offsets has been circulated by House Budget Chair Jodey Arrington.

Whether it's wildfires in California, tornadoes in Louisiana, or hurricanes in North Carolina—conditioning aid to disaster victims is unconscionable. This shouldn’t be political. We must do everything to support those who've had their lives upended by natural disasters. thehill.com/homenews/hou...
Johnson backs conditions on California fire aid
Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) is backing placing conditions on disaster assistance for California in the wake of the destructive wildfires blazing around the Los Angeles area, a position already dra…
