NEW: I launched an investigation w/ Rep. Valerie Foushee + @adams.house.gov into Duke Energy's settlement with the Trump admin to abandon an offshore wind project off the NC coast in exchange for a payout. We will get answers. www.newsobserver.com/news/politic...

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govJul 21(source)

Trump is wasting taxpayer dollars on pay-outs to energy corporations because he thinks wind turbines are a 'national security risk'. @ross.house.gov, @adams.house.gov and I are investigating Trump's settlement with Duke Energy to halt offshore wind projects. www.newsobserver.com/news/politic...

Duke Energy ends wind lease off NC coast. Lawmaker calls it a Trump ‘pattern’

Members of the North Carolina delegation are asking for details after an agreement canceled a coastal Duke Energy renewable energy project.

The rise of AI cannot mean that it is being used to make decisions of lethal military force. I'm proud to be an original cosponsor the Human Authority over Autonomous Weapons Act to ensure that weapons systems always have a human decision-maker in control. www.axios.com/2026/07/17/b...

Bipartisan lawmakers push human oversight of AI weapons

Lawmakers in both parties are looking to set guardrails for military AI as autonomous weapons play a larger role in warfare.

His testimony is an important reminder of the need for proper congressional oversight to ensure FEMA employees are empowered to properly deliver the aid our communities need.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govJul 17(source)

At this week’s @transportdems.bsky.social hearing, I asked former FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate about how the failed leadership of Kristi Noem has hurt this critical agency.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govJul 17(source)

I spoke to @535news.bsky.social about introducing the GUARD Act to regulate AI chatbots. As I shared in this interview, I am hearing directly from families who have lost their children after interactions with these chatbots—Congress must take action immediately.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govJul 17(source)

I joined nearly 200 @housedemocrats.bsky.social in calling for independent investigations and a halt to removal proceedings against the witnesses.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govJul 17(source)

This Administration’s handling of recent ICE investigations demonstrate that they cannot be trusted to properly examine the deaths of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo and Johan Sebastian Guerrero.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govJul 15(source)

Today, I voted in favor of Rep. Massie’s amendment to cut military aid to Israel. However, I voted against the foreign affairs funding bill which includes harmful riders, including the SAVE Act, & weakens our ability to lead through diplomacy & protect our national security. Read my full statement.

This program will help ensure that we can support students seeking opportunities in higher education, without the rising cost of housing being a barrier. Read more: foushee.house.gov/media/press-...

Rep. Foushee Introduces Grad Student Affordable Housing Act to Help Graduate Students Access Safe, Affordable Housing | U.S. Congresswoman Valerie Foushee

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govJul 15(source)

Students across the country are struggling with higher housing costs with little support from the federal government. I’m introducing the Grad Student Affordable Housing Act to establish a federal program to cover 80% of eligible students’ rent costs.

Foushee, Mackenzie Secures Passage of Legislation to Make Air Travel Easier for Families & Fellow Travelers | U.S. Congresswoman Valerie Foushee

The Official U.S. Congressional website of Congresswoman Valerie Foushee

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govJul 15(source)

Big News! The bipartisan Improving Travel for American Families Act, which I introduced alongside Rep. Mackenzie, passed the House by a 398-12 vote! This legislation would establish a new TSA line for families to streamline the airport screening process for both families, and other travelers.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govJul 14(source)

This bill is an important bipartisan effort to lower housing costs and ensure that we can put a roof over every American's head. Access to a safe and affordable home should be a right, and Congress must continue all efforts to make that a reality.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govJul 14(source)

Though I am glad that the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act will become law, it's fitting that it will be without Trump's signature. Trump would rather see Americans on the street than sign his name to a bill that would lower costs.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govJul 14(source)

This disgusting so-called 'enforcement' has cost the lives of too many individuals here at home. It must end immediately. While Republicans respond to this moment by gaslighting Americans and trying to give ICE even more money, I'll continue to fight to dismantle this agency.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govJul 14(source)

The shooting of another person by ICE, this time in Maine, is a jarring reminder of the cruelty of this Administration. ICE had no reason to stop this individual's vehicle—he was not the target of immigration enforcement and was issued a Social Security number. Now, he is gone.

“I can’t sit idly by and think that there’s not something that we should be doing.” After meeting with a family whose son died by suicide following a relationship with an AI chatbot, @foushee.house.gov says Congress must act to protect children.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govJul 10(source)

Blanche has aided the cover-up of the Epstein files, was an architect of Trump's $2 billion J6 slush fund, and has continued to weaponize the Department of Justice. This track record shows he has no interest in serving the American people over Trump's political agendas.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govJul 10(source)

As the Senate prepares to begin hearings to confirm Todd Blanche's nomination as Attorney General next week, I want to be clear that I do not support this nomination and call on the Senate to reject it.
