Congresswoman Valerie Foushee

After hearing from many concerned constituents regarding the ICE office in Cary, @ross.house.gov and I conducted an unannounced visit to the facility. Here’s what we learned:

AI chatbots are putting the lives of children across the country at risk right now. Congress must establish criminal penalties immediately for companies that allow children to access harmful content through these chatbots.

Jeff Bezos says taxing him more wouldn’t help working families. I say let’s put that to the test.

Yesterday, I spoke on the House floor to recognize the bipartisan effort to recognize May 20th as National Women in Aerospace Day.

At @ramirez.house.gov's shadow hearing on ICE’s 287(g) program, I asked Carolina Migrant Network’s Co-Founder Stefania Arteaga about how this program is destroying trust in local law enforcement.

After losing her son, Sewell, to suicide because of an AI chatbot, Megan Garcia has been a powerful advocate for regulating these companion chatbots and passing the GUARD Act. Her story is one of resilience. Please take a moment to listen to her explain why this work is so important, and urgent.

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.

We have all the seen videos of ICE’s repeated abuses of power. I will not be gaslit by the Republican majority into voting to give another $70 billion to this agency. This agency needs to be dismantled, and its previously approved funding needs to be clawed back.

I am cosponsoring @repsummerlee.bsky.social’s legislation to abolish Super PACs, and @ramirez.house.gov’s legislation to enact strict limits on PAC-candidate coordination.

Trump's $1.5 trillion defense budget demand is part of the same lie we have heard our whole lives: our government has money for war, but no money for social services. I'm fighting for legislation to stop these endless wars and put money back into our communities.

As Ranking Member of the Space and Aeronautics Subcommittee, it was an honor to speak with the Artemis II Crew as they make their way back to Earth.

Let’s be clear where I stand. 1. No war with Iran—period. 2. Trump needs to be impeached. 3. His cabinet needs to invoke the 25th Amendment. 4. Congress needs to pass a War Powers Resolution. Trump is unfit for office. Congress must reconvene to take action.

Your move Speaker Johnson. Let's fund TSA.

Attorney General Bondi has made a mockery of the rule of law. I’m proud to support @repsummerlee.bsky.social’s articles of impeachment against her. Bondi’s priority is protecting members of the Epstein class, including the convicted felon in the White House. She needs to be removed immediately.

Republicans need to stop playing political games. Democrats are ready to fund TSA without funding for ICE. TSA workers should not have to go without pay and their salaries shouldn’t be dependent on Trump’s inhumane immigration enforcement.

After over a year of fighting, Trump is finally releasing the funds to advance the Raleigh to Richmond S-Line. This rail line will expand critical transit corridors in our region—I'm glad that our community prevailed in this fight to ensure our district receives the funding it deserves.

Trump’s presidency is an unmitigated disaster. Costs are rising, rights are under attack, and this Administration continues to prioritize division over unity. I will be boycotting Trump’s address to Congress tonight—I have no interest in giving him an audience to spew his lies.
