Yesterday, I hosted a roundtable with @frost.house.gov and local international development orgs who have been impacted by the Trump Admin’s efforts to dismantle USAID. Eliminating USAID will have widespread repercussions—Congress must protect this vital agency and our dedicated foreign aid workers.

Thank you to everyone who joined my Town Hall in Chatham last night! I appreciate those who came out to ask their questions and make their voices heard. Through these challenging times, I will never stop fighting for our community.

Yesterday, I met with GoTriangle CEO Smith to discuss this Administration’s attempts to strip funding from our local transportation authority’s projects. As a member of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, we’re exploring all avenues in Congress to restore this critical funding.

Housing costs are already too high – and Trump and Republicans are making it even worse. On today’s Democratic Daily Download, @repkamlagerdove.bsky.social breaks down what’s happening and how Democrats are working to lower costs.

#EarthDay is a time to band together to insist on a government that protects our planet. Democrats know we are out of time for denialism and political games, and we will not allow Trump to gut environmental and public health protections that ensure clean air and water for all.

I join the millions around the world in mourning the passing of Pope Francis. Pope Francis was a moral and visionary leader who challenged us to always treat others with compassion and care. May he rest in eternal peace.

To all those celebrating in #NC04 and around the world, I wish you and your family a very happy Easter!

If Abrego Garcia is part of MS-13, then the White House should have no problem proving it in court. These continued lies, the denial of due process, and ignoring of judicial rulings means a constitutional crisis is here. The Supreme Court ruled, and Abrego Garcia must come home.

Shuttering USAID hurts our ability to help our allies, and is causing Americans to lose their jobs. Trump’s actions continue to hurt families in NC and across the country. Stories like this are vital to share. To share how you are being impacted, visit: democraticleader.house.gov/shareyourstory

I am deeply saddened by yesterday's shooting at Florida State University. My heart is with the victims' families and the local community during this difficult time. Gun violence still plagues our communities— Congress needs to step up and take action to protect the lives of students nationwide.

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

It was great to join Wake County officials for a discussion with @ross.house.gov & Rep. Knott. As the actions of the Trump Admin continue to impact Wake County residents & folks around the Triangle, it’s as important as ever that we are working closely together to meet the needs of our constituents.

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

This week, I had the pleasure of meeting with @wakegov.bsky.social Sheriff Willie Rowe. We discussed topics ranging from federal law enforcement funding and local crime prevention initiatives, and I look forward to our continued collaboration to keep our communities safe.

42% of children in North Carolina depend on Medicaid for health coverage. As Republicans try to slash Medicaid, I will continue fighting to protect this support system which acts as a critical lifeline for so many Americans. #MedicaidMatters

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

I joined over 200 @housedemocrats.bsky.social in an amicus brief challenging Trump’s executive order attacking birthright citizenship. Our Constitution is clear—if you are born in the United States, you are a citizen. We're fighting to uphold that promise.

Today, I joined @foushee.house.gov to discuss our shared priorities with local Wake County officials.

Our country faces an urgent maternal health crisis that disproportionately impacts Black women, who are 3x more likely to die from pregnancy complications. This is unacceptable. Congress must act to ensure that Black mothers have equal access to maternal health resources. #BlackMaternalHealthWeek

Donald Trump and Elon Musk want to destroy Social Security—and Republicans in Congress are helping them do it. On today’s Democratic Daily Download, @repespaillat.bsky.social promises we will keep up the fight on behalf of our seniors.
