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...

As a former volunteer myself, I’ve seen firsthand how this program transforms lives and will always fight to ensure it remains properly funded.

Earlier this year, I helped introduce the Ensuring OBGYN Care in Prisons Act to ensure that all prisons with a female population employ at least one full-time OBGYN and prevent the denial of essential reproductive care to those in federal custody. Read more: foushee.house.gov/media/press-...

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...

Alabama woman sues alleging she gave birth on prison floor as guards watched

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.

The barriers Dr. Koch continues to break is an important reminder to women around the world that we too can make lasting change and deserve the opportunity to do so.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govMay 13(source)

I also had the opportunity to present NCSSM alum Dr. Christina Koch with my resolution designating May 20th as National Women in Aerospace Day which recognizes the work of trailblazing women throughout history, including Dr. Koch.

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.

Though the legality of these markets remains contested, it's clear that they pose risks to young Americans. Congress needs to have a full understanding of user demographics, internal policies, and safeguards in place by these companies as we work to regulate these platforms.

I’m leading a letter with @reppaultonko.bsky.social to 10 prediction market and sports-betting companies demanding clarity on how much revenue and what percentage of their users are between the ages of 18 and 24.

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...
