Congresswoman Valerie Foushee, representing North Carolina’s 4th district in the U.S. Congress, shared her thoughts and initiatives on Twitter on March 20, 2025. Her posts addressed issues ranging from federal funding cuts affecting the humanities to internship opportunities and local government collaboration.

In a tweet posted at 19:13 UTC, Foushee expressed concerns about proposed federal funding cuts by the current administration. She emphasized that these "cuts create uncertainty for many Americans working in humanities" and committed to countering these actions through her work with fellows at @NatlHumanities.

Later that day, at 19:49 UTC, she announced open applications for her Summer 2025 internship program available in both Durham and DC offices. According to her post, interns will gain "hands-on experience with constituent services and the legislative process while developing research & writing skills."

Finally, at 20:23 UTC, Foushee recounted a meeting with Mayor Gilbert and officials from the Town of Apex. In her message of gratitude for their efforts, she mentioned looking forward to strengthening partnerships in the community: "Thank you for all the work you do for our community."
