I am grateful to see the United Nations taking steps to reunite families affected by this conflict. The United States cannot continue to affirm the continued actions of Netanyahu’s government that has led to this—we must stop arms sales to Israel immediately.

Let’s be clear where I stand. 1. No war with Iran—period. 2. Trump needs to be impeached. 3. His cabinet needs to invoke the 25th Amendment. 4. Congress needs to pass a War Powers Resolution. Trump is unfit for office. Congress must reconvene to take action.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govApr 7(source)

I’ve been proud to vote in favor of advancing articles of impeachment against Trump at every opportunity in this Congress. It’ll be my pleasure to do so again. It’s what the American people want.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govApr 7(source)

The sitting President just called for the end of an entire civilization. It’s time to impeach him.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govApr 7(source)

I’ve been proud to support impeachment proceedings against Trump throughout his term, but this level of detachment from reality means that 25th Amendment proceedings must begin immediately.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govApr 7(source)

It is time for Trump's Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment. Trump’s incoherent threats regarding his war in Iran, and more throughout this Administration, indicate that he may not be fit to carry out the duties of his office.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govApr 7(source)

As a member of Congress, I cannot give you a single rational explanation for Trump's war. But whether this is about controlling oil, or doing whatever Netanyahu tells him to do, it needs to end immediately. There is no plan and innocent people are dying.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govApr 7(source)

This is crazy and completely reckless. Speaker Johnson and House Republicans need to bring us back into session immediately to stop Trump’s power-hungry regime-change war. He’s killed thousands of people, and he doesn’t care if he kills a thousand more.

BREAKING: President Trump warns a "whole civilization will die tonight" but says Iran still has time to capitulate before 8 p.m. ET deadline.

I am very much in support of @raskin.house.gov’s Stop Corrupt Bets Act. Betting markets like Kalshi, Polymarket, and more have become playgrounds for insider trading. They need to be properly regulated and should be treated like every other betting platform at the very least.

Trump just asked Congress for $1.5 TRILLION for his defense budget. Conservative estimates say Medicare for All would cost our government about the same amount yearly. Do you all want more bombs sent abroad, or universal healthcare?

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govApr 6(source)

Trump's budget includes another $350 billion for foreign wars and cuts to housing, education, and more. Our communities are tired of this Administration ignoring the cost of living while we go to war in the Middle East—this budget shows Trump doesn't value working families.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govApr 6(source)

Congress also cannot afford to table articles of impeachment against Trump again, as it did in December. This war is another demonstration of Trump’s unconstitutional actions that put every American at risk.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govApr 6(source)

This is disgusting. He talks about bombing other countries with no remorse and no thought for the civilians who will be caught in the crossfire. This is a moral issue. We cannot allow Trump to continue this war in Iran. Congress must pass the War Powers Resolution immediately.

Again, I don’t see how you can read this as anything other than Trump trying to normalize the idea of using nuclear weapons

Spoke with President Trump. He told me the conflict should be over in days, not weeks but if no deal is made he’s blowing up the whole country with “very little” off the table.

"If happens, it happens. And if it doesn't, we're blowing up the whole country,” he said.

I asked if there’s anything off limits.

“Very little,” he said.

From my family to yours, Happy Easter! We wish everyone celebrating a joyful day filled with hope, renewal, and time spent with loved ones.

It’s great to hear that our local transit agencies will be receiving $32 million to expand and improve service across our communities! This federal funding will be critical to continuing transit expansion in our growing region, and I’m glad to see it come to fruition. www.cbs17.com/news/local-n...

Three transit agencies in central North Carolina have been awarded more than $32 million in federal grants, officials said Friday.

I’m glad that a ship was able to dock in Cuba—Trump has no plan to improve conditions for the Cuban people, as we’ve seen with his action in Venezuela and Iran. We should not continue this pressure campaign that hurts the Cuban people and has fostered little change. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Thank you @foushee.house.gov for cosponsoring the Energy Bills Relief Act, a common sense investment in healthier communities, more affordable energy, and a brighter future for our children.

I was honored to welcome @repjamesclyburn.bsky.social to the Hayti Heritage Center! Rep. Clyburn has been a champion for Black Americans for decades—there was no better place to show him in Durham than this Center which has been a reminder of the strength that comes from the unity of our community.
