.Rep. Haley Stevens lays out how the One Big Ugly Bill will cut health care for 16 million people, in Michigan and across the country, and hurt critical industries that power the American economy.

The GOP is still trying to pass their tax package that will strip health care coverage from millions of Americans. Over 600,000 people in NC alone will lose their health insurance. I'll say it again: Trump's Big, Ugly Bill puts lives at risk.

During @ScienceDems markup of the Small Business AI Act, I offered an amendment to prevent the restriction of AI resources for businesses in ā€˜sanctuary jurisdictions’. As the GOP hands Trump the power to strip funds away from our cities, we need action to protect our communities.

It was great meeting with National Black Caucus of State Legislators to discuss sustainable funding for HBCUs, affordable access to healthcare and medication, and reliable pathways to homeownership. Thank you for all that you do for our underserved communities, and I look forward to our continued collaboration.

I spoke on the House floor to oppose Trump's rescissions request which includes an $8.2 billion cut to USAID. Many in NC have lost their jobs from this administration’s attacks on USAID, and this cut would further devastate an agency that is vital to our economy and saves lives.

58 years ago today, SCOTUS unanimously struck down laws banning interracial marriage in the landmark case, Loving v. Virginia. Today, on #LovingDay, we celebrate that love has no boundaries and does not discriminate based on race, sexual orientation, or gender identity.

Women have long answered the call to serve with unmatched bravery & it's time we recognize their contributions. To honor the Women's Armed Services Integration Act's anniversary, I introduced a resolution marking today as Women Veterans Recognition Day. foushee.house.gov/media/press-re…

Today marks 9 years since 49 lives were taken in a mass shooting at Pulse Nightclub in Orlando, Florida. Alongside the Congressional Equality Caucus, I am dedicated to honoring the victims of the Pulse shooting by advancing pro-equality legislation so all people can live free from violence.

I am heartbroken by the shooting of Minnesota lawmakers Melissa Hortman, John Hoffman, and their spouses in an unthinkable act of political violence. These attacks have no place in our country. I am grateful for law enforcement's quick response, and my heart is with the victim's

Last Congress, I served on the AI Task Force, whose report included a chapter on environmental impacts. Still, Congress has taken no action. At the @ScienceDems hearing, I elaborated on concerns about how AI's arrival affects our resources, and the need for sustainable growth.

Everyone deserves the chance to live a healthy life. Medicaid helps do just that by providing health care assistance to seniors, kids, and people with disabilities across the country. Make no mistake: Republicans in Congress are working to destroy this critical program.

Today we celebrate Juneteenth, a celebration of freedom and independence, and a time to reflect on our nation's history. We've come a long way, but the fight for justice is far from over. Together, we must continue working towards a more inclusive and equitable future for all.
