Trump’s attempted coup on January 6, 2021 is a stain on our nation’s history that we can never forget and never allow to happen again. I was proud to stand alongside @housedemocrats.bsky.social to honor the lives lost and those injured due to this unprecedented attack on our democracy.

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

My heart is with the victim's family and the entire Minneapolis community during this time. ICE needs to get out of our communities before more lives are lost.

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

ICE's killing of an innocent woman in Minneapolis today should appall every single American. This Administration's lies and attempts to blame the victim are disgusting. We've seen the video—their claims of self-defense are baseless.

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

Supporting the health of our communities through hospital houses that serve patients of all backgrounds must continue to be a priority for Congress moving forward. (2/2)

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

I had the pleasure of visiting SECU Family House to learn more about the essential care and affordable housing they provide for patients requiring life-saving procedures. (1/2)

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

It was great to meet with the GoTriangle workers who keep our local buses running and discuss strategies to expand access to reliable transit across the Triangle. While the GOP cuts transportation funding, I'll always support local transit that keeps our communities connected.

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

We will never forget the horrors of that day, and it is long past time that Congress properly honors the bravery of law enforcement who put their lives on the line to protect our democracy. (2/2) apnews.com/article/capitol-riot-jan-6-anniversary-police-plaque-f6fd39b437c339fa9ff477318a7d36e2

This Jan. 6 plaque was made to honor law enforcement. It's nowhere to be found at the Capitol

Approaching the fifth anniversary of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, the official plaque honoring the police who defended democracy is nowhere to be found.

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

Today marks the fifth anniversary of the violent January 6th insurrection incited by Donald Trump as part of his efforts to stop the peaceful transfer of power. (1/2)

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

I am saddened by the passing of my colleague, Representative Doug LaMalfa. He was a dedicated advocate for the people of Northern California, and my thoughts are with his family and loved ones during this difficult time.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govJan 3(source)

We have seen the devastating consequences of unauthorized wars before, and we cannot allow history to repeat itself. Congress must pass the War Powers Resolution now to re-establish its authority over military actions.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govJan 3(source)

The American people did not ask for another war, and our servicemembers should not be put in harm’s way without authorization, oversight, or accountability.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govJan 3(source)

Maduro is an oppressive, illegitimate ruler who has brutalized his people and dismantled democratic institutions in Venezuela. But that fact does not give any United States president the authority to unilaterally launch military action without congressional approval.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govJan 2(source)

It is a true honor to represent the Fourth District in Congress. Despite the chaos and reckless policies driven by the Trump Administration and Republicans, I've stood firm for progress, justice, and democracy. Here’s a snapshot of the work that my team and I were able to deliver in 2025 ⤵️

Happy New Year! Wishing you and your family health, happiness, and prosperity in 2026.

Happy Kwanzaa to all who are celebrating! From Umoja to Imani, may all the blessings of this holiday be yours. ❤️🖤💚

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govDec 25(source)

Merry Christmas! Wishing you and your family peace, joy, and love this holiday season.

Americans are paying higher energy bills while Howard Lutnick's family profits from the AI data center boom. I'm joining @warren.senate.gov and @repdean.bsky.social to demand @commercegov.bsky.social's Inspector General investigate these blatant conflicts of interest.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govDec 19(source)

I had a great discussion with Ben Winters, the Consumer Federation of America’s Director of AI and Privacy, on how Congress can develop AI policy that protects Americans. Congress must put privacy, civil rights, and consumer safety first as AI transforms our world in real time.

Kristi Noem has a policy requiring personal approval of FEMA contracts above $100,000. She's busy overseeing inhumane ICE raids so the policy is slowing the flow of aid. Thank you @ross.house.gov for leading this effort to get Western NC the relief they need. spectrumlocalnews.com/nc/charlotte...

Concerned over pace of FEMA money, Ross introduces bill to change DHS policy

The bill would prohibit a new policy that requires the DHS secretary to personally approve money allocated by FEMA that exceeds $100,000.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govDec 19(source)

The federal government owes a great debt to Native Americans and tribal communities across the country. While this recognition is important for the state of North Carolina, efforts to work with, support, and uplift tribal communities cannot stop.
