I recently met with families of Americans killed by Israeli forces and extremist settler violence. I join their call for accountability for their loved ones' deaths and urge the release of Mohammed Ibrahim, a 16-year-old Florida boy jailed for 6 months without trial. 1/

Republicans & Trump gave each millionaire an average tax cut big enough to give four people healthcare. They didn't have to do that, it was a choice. They chose to rip healthcare from millions and cut taxes for the rich. Now they're raising healthcare costs for millions more.

Trump cut U.S. military aid to Taiwan the *same day* he made a TikTok deal with Xi Jinping. And it turns out the financial benefits of Trump's TikTok deal are going to his own billionaire allies. Insanely corrupt.

JUST IN: The Trump administration's bid to coerce states to comply with immigration enforcement in order to receive disaster aid is illegal and unconstitutional, a federal judge ruled today. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

ALCOA CEO: “.. Tariffs can change very quickly, and therefore we don’t make an investment in the US based on a tariff.” @semafor.com @beyer.house.gov www.semafor.com/article/09/2...

The CEO of Alcoa, one of the largest American aluminum producers: "we don’t make an investment in the U.S. based on a tariff." Trump's tariffs create major uncertainty for businesses, including the ones they're supposed to be helping. www.semafor.com/article/09/2...

One shutdown is already happening: Trump and Republicans are shutting down rural health clinics in Virginia. This is thanks to Medicaid cuts and other health care cuts in their Big Ugly Bill. National press haven't talked about this much, but it's a big deal here in Virginia.

Last year, Richard Schlueter received a diagnosis that changed his life: he had metastatic cancer. He had reached out to an NIH team developing a treatment that could save him. But due to mass firings under the Trump Administration, Richard’s clinical trial was at risk. 1/

Proud to fight GOP attacks on health care alongside @bobbyscott.house.gov, @beyer.house.gov, @mcclellan.house.gov & @repsuhas.bsky.social. At a press call with @protectourcare.org, we urged Republicans to put politics aside & work with us to protect Medicaid & stop ACA premiums from skyrocketing.

Thank you to the courageous federal workers who’ve joined us for today’s constituent services event with Mayor Letty Hardi and wellfed. I am honored to stand with and support our civil servants as we work towards brighter days ahead.

Our Billionaire Income Tax Act would prevent the ultra-wealthy from paying a lower tax rate than working families – a crucial and necessary step toward rectifying the shortcomings of the failed trickle-down economics approach. youtube.com/shorts/T7FFL...

The Trump Administration is silencing speech they disagree with. It’s not just wrong, it’s unconstitutional. Brendan Carr should resign as FCC Chair, and Republicans must start standing up for the free speech they've so vocally defended before. youtube.com/shorts/stGit...

Earlier this week, Republicans surrendered their own power to defend their constituents from Trump's destructive tariffs. These tariffs are driving inflation higher, raising prices for American families, and drastically slowing job growth. My new Substack post: open.substack.com/pub/repdonbe...

I led @markwarner.bsky.social, @kaine.senate.gov, @bobbyscott.house.gov, @beyer.house.gov, @repsuhas.bsky.social, @repvindman.bsky.social and @repwalkinshaw.bsky.social in urging the Administration to retract its proposal to eliminate the 2009 Endangerment Finding and protect our communities.

This is a direct attack on freedom of expression and a clear example of Trump Administration officials using government powers to silence protected speech. Brendan Carr should resign, and all who love the First Amendment must defend it.

LIVE NOW: I'm introducing the Billionaire Income Tax Act with @wyden.senate.gov & @beyer.house.gov. When CEOs make 600x what workers earn and billionaires find ways to game the system and go untaxed, something has to change. It’s time for fairness. 📺Watch here: x.com/SenateFinance

The Trump administration’s order to remove mentions of slavery from our parks is an attempt to erase our country’s history. We still live with the legacy of slavery and racism, and no matter how hard Trump tries, he cannot rewrite the truth of our past. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

This Hispanic Heritage Month, it is especially important to celebrate the power that comes from diversity. U.S. Latinos are the embodiment of ‘e pluribus unum’ – out of many, one.

Hispanic Heritage Month honors the culture, leadership, and contributions of Hispanics and Latinos who shape our communities. Especially this year, let’s use our voices to uplift and celebrate our neighbors amid a climate of fear that’s disrupting daily life.

Today, nearly every House Republican voted to surrender their own power to block Trump’s tariffs. Trump’s illegal tariffs are taxes on the American people that are driving up costs, raising inflation, killing jobs, and weakening our economy. Republicans voted to continue that.

A crushing healthcare price hike is on the horizon thanks to the Republican tax law, but Congress can fix this issue before millions of Americans are hit with eye-popping health care bills. My new Substack post: open.substack.com/pub/repdonbe...

Palestinian civilians continue to be killed with American weapons, Israeli hostages are no closer to freedom, and people in this country and around the globe are rightfully horrified that their leaders refuse to see what is obvious to everyone else. 1/2

Washington Post: Long-term unemployment at post-pandemic high, straining workers and economy www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

I joined @kaine.senate.gov, @markwarner.bsky.social, @bobbyscott.house.gov, @beyer.house.gov, @repvindman.bsky.social, @repsuhas.bsky.social and @repwalkinshaw.bsky.social in condemning political violence. Read our statement below.

My statement with @markwarner.bsky.social, @bobbyscott.house.gov, @beyer.house.gov, @mcclellan.house.gov, @repvindman.bsky.social, @repsuhas.bsky.social, and Representative Walkinshaw condemning political violence:

We will never forget September 11th, the heroism we saw and the people we lost. We will always honor them, and our gratitude for their courage and sacrifice will never fade.

I write amid a time of great hardship for federal employees and contractors to say thank you for your patriotism and your service, and to offer what hope I can during this abysmal period in our country’s modern history. A new open letter: substack.com/@repdonbeyer...

Suicide by firearm is the deadliest form of gun violence in America. On National Firearm Suicide Prevention Day, we raise awareness about this crisis and the work being done to empower families and communities to protect their loved ones. Together, we can save lives. youtube.com/shorts/KL84V...

Netanyahu is so hellbent on sabotaging peace talks designed to stop the killing and free hostages that he is now literally blowing up negotiations. The U.S. should not support what Israel is doing. Trump is either complicit in this strike and lying, or was played for a fool.

We told the Administration to rehire the critical disaster response and preparedness staff they fired. Instead, the Administration is listing jobs demanding fealty rather than skill expertise. The weather doesn’t care about political parties. Just rehire the staff we need already.

Trump promised that the higher costs from his tariffs would come with a tradeoff in the form of a manufacturing boom, yet manufacturing has shrunk for 6 straight months. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

I completed the Appalachian Trail, and I want to ensure that future generations can also hike this beloved fixture of the American outdoors.  Our legislation would help strengthen the trail and its partnerships so that it remains the crown jewel of hiking!

Today, I joined @markwarner.bsky.social to hear from air traffic controllers, pilots, the families of those lost in the January 29th crash, and others in aviation to discuss how we can best keep travelers safe.   Every time we board a plane, we must trust in the system built to protect us.

So much for Trump’s so-called “Golden Age,” the August jobs report confirms Trump’s policies are betraying American working families. Inflation is heating up, prices and unemployment are both rising, and job growth is weakening sharply. All thanks to Trump’s tariffs.

With all data in, BLS now reports the U.S. economy *lost* 13,000 jobs in the month of June as Trump’s tariffs took effect. U.S. job growth since Trump announced tariffs has been extremely weak— May: 19K June: -13K July: 79K August: 22K The monthly average in 2024 was 186,000.

I signed the Rep. Massie & @rokhanna.bsky.social discharge petition to force a binding vote - unlike Speaker Johnson's nonbinding resolutions - to require release of the Epstein files. It's up to 205 signatures; it needs 218 to take effect. See who signed here: clerk.house.gov/DischargePet...

Under the GOP tax law, billionaires got the big tax cuts. In fact, thanks to Republicans, many working families will actually see their taxes go up: nbcnews.com/politics/con... And Trump's tariffs are a huge tax hike on working Americans. The "Tax On Working Families" plan.

RFK Jr. is a danger to millions of American children, mothers, and families. If he does not remove this kook before he fully unleashes his crackpot conspiracy theories on America’s vaccination efforts, Trump will be responsible for the preventable deaths that result. beyer.house.gov/news/documen...

Every day Washingtonians are confronted with new outrages from Trump’s D.C. occupation, including arrests using excessive force. Many of these encounters were captured on video taken by bystanders or journalists. What else are we not seeing because it isn't caught on video?

Virginia's unemployment rate just rose for the *seventh* month in a row. The year-over-year unemployment rise is higher than nearly every other state. Every other time it rose this quickly in the last 50 years we were either in a nationwide recession or one was about to start.

Raids by masked ICE agents on the first day of school heighten the climate of fear in our community and further erode trust in law enforcement. I thank Alexandria leaders including our Mayor and City Council for opposing these draconian tactics. I stand with them.

When President Trump fires disaster experts and scientists, dismantles disaster preparedness programs, and denies or delays aid, it puts American lives at risk. I led more than 80 of my colleagues in demanding that he reinstate disaster response staff and programs:

This move, on top of civilian starvation and killing in Gaza and a disastrous Gaza City attack plan, are proof of the Israeli government's hostility to peaceful coexistence with Palestinians. I cosponsored the Block the Bombs Act in June because we can't support this.

America was founded on the principle of self determination, which Washingtonians deserve no less than anyone else. Trump just showed again why representation is a vital protection against arbitrary abuses of power. The District of Columbia should be a state, and I'll keep pushing for statehood.

Donald Trump has personally incited more crime in Washington DC than perhaps anyone else living. He pardoned violent criminals who attacked our Capitol and put them back in American communities. He even made a man who was filmed urging the crowd to kill DC police officers a senior adviser at DOJ.

The Fourteenth Amendment is clear: the US Census shall count the "whole number of persons" living in each state. Trump wants to violate the constitution and rig the rules to advance his agenda.

Trump promised to lower costs, stop corruption, and end wars but none of it happened. Instead he is doing the opposite. Americans are struggling with everyday costs while he uses the Presidency to enrich himself. www.youtube.com/shorts/C-L9w...
