Today, I joined @robinkelly.house.gov in introducing Articles of Impeachment against DHS Secretary Kristi Noem. From warrantless raids to the tragic use of force against U.S. citizens and immigrants, Noem’s reckless actions demand accountability. Congress must remove her from office immediately.

I'm proud to celebrate 113 years of Delta Sigma Theta with my fellow sorors here in Washington! Happy Founders Day @dstinc1913.bsky.social, and let us continue the lasting legacy of our founders through sisterhood, social action, and service.

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

I have cosponsored @robinkelly.house.gov's Articles of Impeachment against DHS Secretary Noem. This is the minimum Congress should be doing to protect our communities—we cannot allow ICE’s reign of terror to continue.

I’m grateful for the courage and dedication of the Crew-11 astronauts as they return early from their mission on the ISS. Thank you to NASA for prioritizing their health and safety. Wishing the crew a safe journey home and a full recovery. www.npr.org/2026/01/08/n...

A 'medical situation' is forcing NASA to end mission at the space station a month early

NASA says a crew member on the International Space Station is unwell. The agency canceled a planned spacewalk for Thursday and is taking the rare step of ending the Crew-11 mission early.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govJan 9(source)

Kristi Noem’s reckless, militarized actions have made communities across our country more dangerous, not safer. The fatal shooting in Minneapolis and other incidents show what happens when force is prioritized over human life. Enough is enough. She must resign or be removed from office immediately.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govJan 8(source)

I was proud to vote in favor of this bill with @housedemocrats.bsky.social to deliver for working families and restore the tax credits that help our communities access quality, affordable healthcare. The Senate needs to get this to the President's desk now. The American people can't wait.

House Democrats’ bill to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits has PASSED! Health care costs have skyrocketed for millions of families and this legislation will help bring costs down. This is a win for the American people.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govJan 8(source)

Let me be clear: the funding levels are lower than I would've liked to see in order to fully address the needs of our communities, but they are a drastic improvement on Trump's budget request and rejects the illegal reorganization of the Department of Energy and proposed cuts to NSF and the NOAA.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govJan 8(source)

It was not an easy decision, but I voted in favor of this bill which will deliver nearly $11.5 million in Community Project Funding to our district and will help avoid a shutdown that would put the benefits of hardworking Americans at risk. www.cbsnews.com/news/house-v...

House approves partial funding package as Congress races to avoid another shutdown

The House easily passed legislation to fund several federal agencies and programs as lawmakers work to avert another government shutdown later this month.

Minneapolis is the latest community to experience violence at the hands of ICE and CBP. We saw it in North Carolina too. Federal immigration officers have been abusing their power and violating people's rights. Our people have said: enough is enough.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govJan 8(source)

Democrats are united. We've forced an up-or-down vote to restore the lifesaving ACA tax credits TODAY. Time for Trump and the GOP to go on the record. Join us in restoring the tax credits, or keep making life unaffordable for hardworking Americans.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govJan 8(source)

Trump's deputization of local officers to perform ICE duties erodes trust in law enforcement while targeting our immigrant communities. I joined @heartlandsignal.bsky.social to discuss my PROTECT Immigration Act to end these partnerships with ICE and restore trust across our communities.

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

The officers who put their lives on the line on January 6 to protect our country deserve more than a plaque in remembrance, they deserve a Congress committed to upholding democracy. I joined the Congressional Black Caucus in condemning this dark day that has led to Trump's escalating extremism.

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

The turn of the New Year means skyrocketing health care premiums for millions of families due to the GOP's health cuts. Families shouldn't have to choose between paying for health insurance or putting food on the table—Congress needs to restore the ACA tax credits to save lives.

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

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.
