The White House’s public release of its Counterterrorism Strategy is just a plan on how they’re going to attack people on the left. This is why we cannot reauthorize FISA without warrant requirements and must fight back against the establishment of an NSPM-7 mission center by this Administration.

Members of Congress can’t properly represent their constituencies if they’re busy trying to profit off Kalshi and Polymarket. I’m cosponsoring @budzinski.house.gov’s PREDICT Act to ban senior officials and members of Congress from prediction market trading.

Happy Cinco de Mayo! Today is an opportunity to celebrate the rich culture and lasting contributions of Mexican Americans to this country. Your impact helps shape our nation every single day.

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week to the brilliant educators of #NC04! Your hard work and mentorship are pushing students across our district to be the best versions that they can be. We will always stand with you in the fight for the pay and benefits you rightfully deserve.

‘Surveillance pricing’ is when companies use your personal data, run it through AI, then use it to charge you more. It should be illegal. I have a bill to ban it.

I continue to call on Congress to pass legislation to stop arms sales to Israel, and take steps to protect civilians across the region.

Reports of water shortages across the Gaza Strip are deeply troubling. Israeli strikes killed a child in Gaza just days ago, and this continued water shortage emphasizes the inhumane position innocent Palestinians have been put in. apnews.com/article/wate...

In Gaza, a desperate rush for water trucks persists more than 6 months after the ceasefire

Palestinians and humanitarian groups say water shortages in Gaza have persisted more than six months after a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.

While the Republican majority turns a blind eye to the rising utility costs across the country, we stand ready to take action to address the cost-of-living crisis.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govMay 1(source)

I am proud to be a cosponsor of this bill introduced by @repcasar.bsky.social and @reprileyny.bsky.social. This important legislation will help eliminate abusive profits by energy corporations, lowering utility bill costs for consumers.

@reprileyny.bsky.social and I just introduced a new bill that would save the average family $500 a year on utility bills. For-profit utilities are charging you more so they can fly around on private jets and make absurd profits. We're saying: no more.

As a Tar Heel and having previously served on a local school board, seeing this office come to fruition hits close to home.

It was great to attend the launch of @uncchapelhill.bsky.social’s “Carolina in the Capital” office! This space will provide important educational opportunities for students, particularly those interested in government and politics.

As we address public health emergencies and push for the passage of Medicare for All, it is critical that we keep the strain that healthcare workers face top-of mind and take real steps to defend their rights. Read more: summerlee.house.gov/newsroom/pre...

Rep. Summer Lee Reintroduces Bill to Raise Hazard Pay and Strengthen Protections for Health Care Workers

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govMay 1(source)

Healthcare workers are too often serving on the frontlines of public health crises without receiving the treatment or pay they deserve. I’m proud to cosponsor @repsummerlee.bsky.social’s Hazard Pay for Health Care Heroes Act to raise hazard pay and strengthen protections for our healthcare workers.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govMay 1(source)

In Congress, rest assured that I will continue to fight for the proper federal funding needed to support our teachers and advancing policies that address the growing economic challenges facing working families.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govMay 1(source)

I stand with you in this cause. Please be safe as you engage in your right to make your voice heard.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govMay 1(source)

I am in full solidarity with teachers across North Carolina who are speaking out for fair pay and proper school funding. Public school teachers across our state have been ignored for far too long and the challenges they face continue to impact students and communities across our district.
