As we get ready to hear Trump’s State of the Union address, let’s be very clear about the REAL state of the union. Costs are up, healthcare benefits are being slashed, and ICE continues to receive funding while terrorizing our communities.
Trump’s presidency is an unmitigated disaster. Costs are rising, rights are under attack, and this Administration continues to prioritize division over unity. I will be boycotting Trump’s address to Congress tonight—I have no interest in giving him an audience to spew his lies.
It was great to join Duke University's SPACE Initiative to discuss the importance of bolstering STEM education and innovation. As the Ranking Member of the Space & Aeronautics Subcommittee, I am grateful to see local universities supporting these initiatives in the face of Trump's funding cuts.
I will not be attending Trump’s State of the Union Address tomorrow. I do not need to listen to Trump to know the real state of this country. We are living in a nation led by a government focused on deepening inequalities and destroying democracy over delivering for hardworking Americans.
It was great to join the Town of Carrboro's legislative breakfast to discuss ways our local and federal government can work together to deliver results. Having represented Carrboro at the local, state, and federal level, I look forward to our continued collaboration to deliver for local residents.
Rev. Jackson’s impact on the fight for human and civil rights has forever shaped our nation. There have been others who’ve had the privilege to lie in honor in the Capitol despite having not held federal office, and Jesse Jackson deserves no less. (2/2)
During a visit to Duke, U.S. Rep. @foushee.house.gov met with @spaceatduke.bsky.social leaders and discussed the future of U.S. space exploration and policy. She emphasized the role of research universities in preparing the next generation of scientists and policymakers. duke.is/foushee-spac...
I led 24 Democrats in demanding that 'AI & Crypo Czar' David Sacks and Office of Science and Technology Policy Director Michael Kratsios provide the names of those serving on the Council of Advisors on Science and Technology and reverse course on proposed cuts to federal science agencies. (2/2)
OWASA was awarded $2.2M in federal grants to improve our drinking water infrastructure. Awarded through @foushee.house.gov's office, these funds will offset the cost of PFAS treatment and a new clearwell for the community’s drinking water. Read more: ow.ly/wJUC50YiptX
Having started my public service at the school board level, I know how impactful school counselors are to our students. I thank Annie for her work and will continue to fight in Congress for funding to be restored to support our local schools.
It was great to visit Pittsboro Elementary School to highlight the Library of Congress Surplus Books Program which donates books to local schools and non-profits. Our children are our future, and I’m always proud to uplift programs like these which help bridge the education gap in our community.
Trump's threats of strikes on Iran are not acceptable. Congress must stop him before we are launched into another disastrous war. I am a cosponsor of Reps. Khanna and Massie's War Powers Resolution and will support the discharge petition to prevent Trump from putting servicemembers in harm's way.
Trump officials say there's a 90% chance of strikes on Iran. He can’t without Congress. Rep. Thomas Massie & I have a War Powers Resolution to debate & vote on war before putting U.S. troops in harm’s way. I will make a motion to discharge to force a vote on it next week.
It was great to join @durhamcounty.bsky.social at the Triangle Wastewater Treatment Plant to discuss the over $1 million in federal funding coming to Durham for the Park Page Lift Station. I’m proud to have delivered this funding to help safeguard public health and environmental quality in our area.
