Congresswoman Valerie Foushee (D-NC) adds, "Trump’s illegal war in Iran is showing up as rising gasoline prices at home, with the current average for gasoline in North Carolina at over $4.20 a gallon, an increase many families simply cannot afford" especially with utility bills also skyrocketing.

National Nurses Week is an opportunity to show our appreciation for the wonderful nurses who keep #NC04 safe and healthy! Thank you to these dedicated professionals who are doing incredible work, day-in and day-out.

Though Republicans are intent on making cuts to these essential programs, we know that healthcare is a right that should be afforded to every single human being.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.gov1d ago(source)

Last week, I joined @protectourcare.org for a virtual press conference to highlight the end of Medicaid Awareness Month. Protecting healthcare access is a simple step Congress can take to support working families.

This bill is an important step to provide international students, who've graduated from our universities, opportunities for success without having to leave the country. Read more: foushee.house.gov/media/press-...

Rep. Foushee Introduces Legislation to Extend Visas for International STEM Students Graduating From U.S. Universities | U.S. Congresswoman Valerie Foushee

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.gov1d ago(source)

The short deadline our government gives STEM international students to find a sponsor for their work visa is increasingly unrealistic in Trump's economy. I’m introducing the Stop the Brain Drain Act to extend the period that graduates on F-1 student visas can remain in the United States.

“Anti-Fascist” for example, is not a real terrorism threat in the United States. This is completely corrupt and we must hamstring this Administration’s surveillance overreach. Read it for yourself: www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/u...

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.gov1d ago(source)

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.

We cannot properly regulate these markets, which are ripe for fraud, without preventing federal officials’ use of these platforms. Read more: www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...

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 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.

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

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.
