Officers, firefighters, teachers, letter carriers, and federal employees have seen their retirement benefits unfairly slashed for far too long. The Social Security Fairness Act restores benefits for over 35,000 in NC, and I’m glad to see it become law. www.cbsnews.com/news/social-...

Protecting women and girls in sports means addressing sexual assault and harassment. It does NOT mean forcing girls to undergo invasive medical exams to "prove" their gender. That's why I'm joining the @equality.house.gov and @demwomencaucus.bsky.social in voting NO on H.R. 28.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govJan 14(source)

386,000 brave women serve in our country's Armed Forces. They deserve better leadership than Pete Hegseth, who has been accused of sexual assault and has openly questioned whether women can serve in combat. My @demwomencaucus.bsky.social colleagues and I will not stand for this nomination.
