ICYMI: Republicans held a vote late into the night to cut Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, food assistance, school meal programs, and more. Somehow, they're still ADDING to our debt because their billionaire tax breaks are so extreme. It's a rip-off. My full statement:

House Republicans tried to jam through the GOP Tax Scam in the dark of night – but House Democrats are fighting back to expose and stop this disastrous bill. @scanlon.house.gov explains why Americans can’t afford these devastating cuts to health care and food assistance.

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

Republicans still won't reveal the final text for the tax scam that they plan on voting on today. They're hiding from the American people. The GOP needs to answer for their plans to make record cuts to social services, including stopping free lunches for over 400,000 kids in need in North Carolina.

I am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Congressman Gerry Connolly. Congressman Connolly was a true champion and advocate for the people of Northern Virginia. My thoughts are with his family, staff, and loved ones during this difficult time.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govMay 20(source)

The GOP's tax scam will strip health care from 14 million Americans, add to our national debt, and take food out of the mouths of millions of children, seniors, veterans, and people with disabilities. We just need 4 House Republicans to join us in stopping this madness. youtu.be/86WSayPuh9w

Don't miss the scariest committee hearing of the year.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govMay 20(source)

Rep. McIver was upholding her oath of office by conducting lawful oversight of the Delaney Hall detention center. The charges against her are a blatant attempt to intimidate and interfere with Congress’ ability to check and balance the Executive Branch. We stand with you @replamonica.bsky.social.

Attacks on grant programs and government funding hurt our ability to deliver proper transit infrastructure improvements. I'm proud to cosponsor @hankjohnson.house.gov's Stronger Communities Through Better Transit Act to help people in every community get where they need to go.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govMay 20(source)

The GOP scheduled another late-night vote in the Rules Committee to advance cuts to Medicaid, food assistance programs, and more. @repmcgovern.bsky.social and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social are right. If the people support this bill, then have your meeting in front of the cameras in the light of day.

My statement on the passing of former Hillsborough Mayor Horace Johnson:

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

The GOP held a late-night committee vote yesterday so they could strong-arm holdouts and advance their budget bill in the dead of night. Hiding from the public is something you'd do if you weren't cutting benefits, right? spectrumlocalnews.com/nc/triad/new...

Trump's big bill advances in rare weekend vote

But conservatives demand more changes

I am saddened to hear of President Biden's cancer diagnosis. My thoughts are with the Biden family and their loved ones during this difficult time, and I'm praying for his full and speedy recovery.

#OTD in 1965, President Johnson signed legislation to create Head Start which works tirelessly to uplift kids nationwide. As a former volunteer, I know the transformative impact this program can have, and I will keep fighting to ensure it receives the proper funding it deserves.

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

Today marks 71 years since SCOTUS struck down racial segregation in schools in the landmark Brown v. Board of Education case. As our public schools become increasingly divided, I will continue fighting to ensure that every child across the nation can have equal access to education.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govMay 16(source)

I spoke on the House Floor about Trump’s cuts to the NSF, NIH, and more—including $20 million in cancelled NSF research grants for North Carolina. These cuts are devastating to my district, and are a step towards losing a generation of innovators and letting China lead STEM innovation.

Hakeem Jeffries@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.socialMay 16(source)

House Democrats on the Budget Committee led the charge and just defeated the GOP Tax Scam. Republicans have been sent home for the weekend. We will always protect the healthcare of the American people and never surrender to this extreme agenda.

For all the talk of U.S. leadership in space, the GOP budget contains staggering NASA cuts including a $1 billion cut to the Earth Science Division which helps predict natural disasters. These cuts endanger states like NC & hamper NASA's ability to inspire the next generation. youtu.be/iRUks00MdG4

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govMay 16(source)

It was great meeting students participating in Duke University’s Initiative for Science and Society. Our district continues to feel the weight of Trump’s cuts to research funding, and I will keep working tirelessly to support programs like these which build the next generation of STEM leaders.

May is #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth. This month and every month, I remain committed to fighting the stigma surrounding mental health and ensuring that support is always available. Remember, you're never alone. If you or a loved one is struggling then call, text, or chat 988.

I spoke on the House floor to honor the Hayti Heritage Center's 50th anniversary—a milestone that celebrates Hayti’s enduring legacy and vibrant culture. The legacy of Hayti is deeply intertwined with Durham’s history, and I’m grateful for the center’s work to preserve our heritage.
