Later that evening on March 5, 2025, he commented on the President's omission of plans addressing homelessness and housing affordability during the speech. Foster noted "I'm not surprised that the President failed to mention any plans to address homelessness and the housing affordability crisis during his speech last night — but that won't stop the inspiring work of people like Joe Jackson, the Executive Director of @HesedHouse in Aurora."

On March 6, 2025, Congressman Foster announced collaboration with Representative Don Beyer and other colleagues regarding employment issues at a federal agency. He tweeted "NEWS: @RepDonBeyer and I led 37 of our colleagues in demanding answers from the Trump Administration on the indiscriminate firing of 168 NSF employees.
