Israel killed another 21 people in Lebanon on Tuesday, including at least 3 children and 3 women. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Jeff Bezos says taxing him more wouldn’t help working families. I say let’s put that to the test.

I’m headed to the House floor to vote in favor of passing a War Powers Resolution to stop Trump’s war in Iran. With the Senate beginning to advance a War Powers Resolution of their own this week, this is a critical opportunity for us to take steps to stop the killing of innocent civilians in Iran.

The House passing a bill to attack trans kids while Americans are facing a real cost-of-living crisis because of Trump is embarrassing.

I’m proud to be one of 17 House cosponsors of @repsummerlee.bsky.social’s Abolish Super PACs Act. Billionaires and corporations do not have the interests of working-class Americans in mind, and they cannot be allowed to continue to buy our elections.

Yesterday, I spoke on the House floor to recognize the bipartisan effort to recognize May 20th as National Women in Aerospace Day.

Nancy Mace’s bill to ban naturalized citizens from serving in government is hateful and disgusting. Naturalized citizens should absolutely be allowed to serve in government. America was built off the backs of immigrants and our nation’s diversity is what brings vibrancy to our country.

Local municipalities are too often asked to keep up with today’s technology without being given the proper resources. I’m introducing the State and Local Public Sector Innovation Act to help state and local governments innovate their own systems to better the administration of public services.

I’m voting no on Republicans’ bill requiring any public school that receives certain federal funds to forcibly out transgender students to their guardians.

I stood with my Congressional Black Caucus colleagues and the NAACP to call on Black athletes, families, and fans to boycott public universities in states seeking to erase Black representation.

Trump is now doubling down saying his quote about him not thinking about Americans’ finances “even a little bit” was the “perfect statement”. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

Trump’s nearly $2 billion fund which spends taxpayer dollars to pay-out his political allies may top the list of most corrupt and indefensible actions this Administration has taken.

Our federal government should not compromise and allow private insurance companies to keep raking in billions while our communities are struggling to get the care they need. I’ll support all efforts to expand healthcare access—but Medicare for All is the proper route forward.

I am deeply saddened by the news of a shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego. My heart is with the victim and their loved ones during this time—and I am thankful for the swift response by law enforcement.

At @ramirez.house.gov's shadow hearing on ICE’s 287(g) program, I asked Carolina Migrant Network’s Co-Founder Stefania Arteaga about how this program is destroying trust in local law enforcement.

While students across our district are struggling with the rising cost of housing, I am very happy to see the construction of affordable housing at Durham Technical Community College moving forward. www.newsobserver.com/news/local/e...

Trump now targets anti fascists "Rep. Valerie Foushee, D-N.C., calling the strategy “a plan on how they’re going to attack people on the left,” noting that antifascists are “not a real terrorism threat in the United States.” ... the effort is “completely corrupt.”" theintercept.com/2026/05/15/t...

Today marks 61 years since #HeadStart was founded! This program has long been a major part of our nation’s efforts to bridge early learning gaps for families across the nation.

Congratulations to the North Carolina Central University Men’s Tennis Team on this recognition honoring your 2025 HBCU National Championship! This highway dedication commemorates a remarkable milestone for the program and celebrates the hard work and excellence of these student athletes and coaches.

Tiffany McElroy’s story of giving birth on the prison floor as guards sat back and watched is absolutely heartbreaking. No person should ever be denied essential healthcare—this is a deep violation of our human and civil rights standards. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

After losing her son, Sewell, to suicide because of an AI chatbot, Megan Garcia has been a powerful advocate for regulating these companion chatbots and passing the GUARD Act. Her story is one of resilience. Please take a moment to listen to her explain why this work is so important, and urgent.

I was grateful for the opportunity to greet the Artemis II crew here in Washington. They have inspired a generation, and as Ranking Member of the Space and Aeronautics Subcommittee, I won’t stop defending NASA funding to ensure we can continue pushing our space program forward.

As one of the few Representatives left who experienced segregation as a young girl in an all-Black elementary school, I took to the House floor to deliver a message in light of the Supreme Court's gutting of the Voting Rights Act. We will not go back. youtu.be/N5FkPVZRDsA

Thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate this year’s Military Academy Nominees from #NC04! This group of students continues to push our nation forward, and I’m proud to see so many young people with the interest and willingness to serve our nation.

Today, I introduced a War Powers Resolution to end Trump’s illegal and immoral war with Iran that has claimed the lives of American servicemembers and thousands of civilians abroad.

Why NC’s Rep. Valerie Foushee is introducing a bill to end the war in Iran #ncpol www.newsobserver.com/news/politic...

Rep. Valerie Foushee says Congress has a moral obligation to end the war in Iran after President Donald Trump launched the attacks without prior authorization.

Prediction markets and sports gambling companies have not taken the proper steps to address the normalization of online gambling for young Americans.

This is inhumane. Israel continues to kill civilians with strikes in Lebanon including women, children and seniors. Congress must block arms sales to Israel and pass Rep. Tlaib's Resolution to stop our military from further assisting Israel's hostilities in Lebanon. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/10/w...

Trump is making taxpayers front the bill for his immoral war that is killing innocent people. Inflation is up and wage growth is slowing. We must pass a War Powers Resolution to prevent Trump from continuing to put servicemembers, innocent lives abroad, and the wellbeing of our communities at risk.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing moms and mother figures in #NC04! Wishing you a wonderful day, full of happiness surrounded by your loved ones.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee (D-NC) adds, "Trump’s illegal war in Iran is showing up as rising gasoline prices at home, with the current average for gasoline in North Carolina at over $4.20 a gallon, an increase many families simply cannot afford" especially with utility bills also skyrocketing.

National Nurses Week is an opportunity to show our appreciation for the wonderful nurses who keep #NC04 safe and healthy! Thank you to these dedicated professionals who are doing incredible work, day-in and day-out.

Last week, I joined @protectourcare.org for a virtual press conference to highlight the end of Medicaid Awareness Month. Protecting healthcare access is a simple step Congress can take to support working families.

The short deadline our government gives STEM international students to find a sponsor for their work visa is increasingly unrealistic in Trump's economy. I’m introducing the Stop the Brain Drain Act to extend the period that graduates on F-1 student visas can remain in the United States.

The White House’s public release of its Counterterrorism Strategy is just a plan on how they’re going to attack people on the left. This is why we cannot reauthorize FISA without warrant requirements and must fight back against the establishment of an NSPM-7 mission center by this Administration.

Valerie Foushee Leads Bipartisan Push to Shield Children from AI Chatbots: A new bipartisan effort in Congress aims to draw a firm boundary between children and the rapidly evolving world of artificial intelligence.… The post… #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #ChildSafety #Bipartisan #TechPolicy

Members of Congress can’t properly represent their constituencies if they’re busy trying to profit off Kalshi and Polymarket. I’m cosponsoring @budzinski.house.gov’s PREDICT Act to ban senior officials and members of Congress from prediction market trading.

ICYMI: I signed the Young Peoples Alliance’s Declaration for a New American Dream!

Happy Cinco de Mayo! Today is an opportunity to celebrate the rich culture and lasting contributions of Mexican Americans to this country. Your impact helps shape our nation every single day.

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week to the brilliant educators of #NC04! Your hard work and mentorship are pushing students across our district to be the best versions that they can be. We will always stand with you in the fight for the pay and benefits you rightfully deserve.

‘Surveillance pricing’ is when companies use your personal data, run it through AI, then use it to charge you more. It should be illegal. I have a bill to ban it.

Reports of water shortages across the Gaza Strip are deeply troubling. Israeli strikes killed a child in Gaza just days ago, and this continued water shortage emphasizes the inhumane position innocent Palestinians have been put in. apnews.com/article/wate...

I am proud to be a cosponsor of this bill introduced by @repcasar.bsky.social and @reprileyny.bsky.social. This important legislation will help eliminate abusive profits by energy corporations, lowering utility bill costs for consumers.

It was great to attend the launch of @uncchapelhill.bsky.social’s “Carolina in the Capital” office! This space will provide important educational opportunities for students, particularly those interested in government and politics.

Healthcare workers are too often serving on the frontlines of public health crises without receiving the treatment or pay they deserve. I’m proud to cosponsor @repsummerlee.bsky.social’s Hazard Pay for Health Care Heroes Act to raise hazard pay and strengthen protections for our healthcare workers.

I am in full solidarity with teachers across North Carolina who are speaking out for fair pay and proper school funding. Public school teachers across our state have been ignored for far too long and the challenges they face continue to impact students and communities across our district.

I am standing in full solidarity with the thousands of NC teachers marching for fair pay and proper school funding. Wake County faces $16M in cuts this year Today, our educators are putting everything on the line to ensure every student gets the resources they deserve.

Our country is already facing enough issues with insurance companies rejecting prior authorizations. With the rise of AI, it is critical that Congress ensures that this technology is not being used to approve or deny authorizations without a human in the loop.

People under the age of 18 should not be able to interact with AI companion chatbots outside of strictly educational circumstances. It continues to put lives and the mental health of our youth at risk. I am introducing the House version of Senator Hawley’s GUARD Act alongside Rep. Blake Moore.
