The Civil Rights Act helped make the promise of equal protection under the law a reality for Americans, regardless of race, sex, or religion. We can't allow fear and division to undo that progress. Our diversity is one of America's greatest strengths, and it's worth protecting.

Big step forward for our CREATE AI Act! My bipartisan bill advanced out of the House Science, Space, and Technology Committee last week. It would help researchers, students, and more access the trusted, high-quality data and compute needed to develop AI safely and responsibly.

🌡️🥵 Heat advisory now in effect with feels like already ~92-97 late AM -- actual temps soon in 90s. Haven't seen anything yet. Heat index near and past 110+ a good bet next several days. Full update: www.capitalweather.com/dc-region-fa...

Donald Trump isn’t just shaping crypto policy, he’s making a fortune from it. Since assuming office, President Trump reported more than $1.4 BILLION in crypto-related income. The President is getting richer while Americans fall further behind.

While Americans struggle to pay rent and afford groceries, the president and his buddies are making billions. Trump doesn’t care about you or your family.

The number of financial side deals the Trump family is running is so shocking it can sometimes be hard to track. According to @reuters.com, their crypto ventures alone have delivered $2.3 billion to Trump & co. while creating a similar-sized loss for investors.

Donald Trump reported earning at least $1.2 billion in 2025 from crypto and memecoin-related businesses, according to his latest annual financial disclosure

The USMCA is key to growing our economy, protecting jobs, and lowering costs. That's why New Dems are calling on the Trump Administration to strengthen this vital agreement, not walk away from it. Statement from New Dem Trade & Tariffs Task Force Chair @beyer.house.gov:

Americans are paying more to drive to work, keep the lights on, more for rent, feed their families while the President is using his office to enrich himself – and my Republican colleagues in Congress continue to look the other way.

New Dems were pleased to host Canadian Ambassador Mark Wiseman yesterday for a conversation on strengthening the partnership between our two countries, strengthening the critical USMCA free trade agreement, and building on our shared priorities.

Under President Trump, it’s become common knowledge that the presidential pardon process is now a pay-to-play scheme where convicted criminals can buy their way out of accountability. It's corrupt as hell, but my Republican colleagues continue to look the other way.

3 million Americans no longer have health insurance because President Trump and Republicans chose to prioritize tax cuts for the rich. abcnews.com/Health/3-mil...

National Weather Service has issued a heat advisory for the DC area Wednesday and an extreme heat watch for Thursday-Friday. More details on the alerts and our full forecast for the heat wave and July 4th at CapitalWeather.com and the Capital Weather app.

“All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.”

Joint Statement from Tri-Caucus Chairs on Supreme Court Upholding Birthright Citizenship:

If you’re born in the United States, you’re an American citizen – and no president can erase that constitutional birthright with an executive order.

Trump's arch is illegal, would make traffic in an already gridlocked area even worse, and raises serious safety concerns in the already crowded DCA airspace.   It would be a disaster for taxpayers, commuters, and public safety – and I'll continue fighting to stop it.

They're not even trying to hide their brazen corruption anymore. President Trump and Secretary Lutnick used your tax dollars to further enrich their families from a major mining deal with Kazakhstan. And it's not just this deal.

We introduced the bipartisan Comprehensive Paid Leave for Federal Employees Act because federal employees deserve paid family and medical leave. It's time to make it happen. beyer.house.gov/news/documen...

Breaking news: The Supreme Court blocked President Trump from immediately firing Lisa Cook, a Democratic appointee to the Federal Reserve Board, a major ruling that preserves the independence of the central bank.

This decision is a clear rejection of the Trump Administration’s unconstitutional efforts to make it harder for Americans to have their voices heard. States can continue counting every legally cast ballot postmarked by Election Day, just as they should.

If Trump and his administration are truly finished pursuing their $1.8 billion slush fund, then providing a declaration to the court should be easy. The fact that they won't tells you all you need to know.

Trump spent $16 million on an unnecessary and botched project that only enriched his friends, while taxpayers were left with a Reflecting Pool covered in peeling paint and algae blooms. That's the corruption, waste, and incompetence that defines Trump's Administration.

Responsible AI governance means being proactive, and that's why my bill with @ross.house.gov builds on cybersecurity best practices to help developers respond to and fix vulnerabilities. I'm thrilled it advanced out of the House Science Committee earlier this week! beyer.house.gov/news/documen...

🚨New data: In the 8 months after H.R. 1 enacted the deepest SNAP cuts in history, the number of people receiving SNAP fell by 4+ million (-10%) nationwide. In just the 13 states with available data, 800,000+ fewer kids are receiving SNAP. www.cbpp.org/research/foo...

NEW NUMBERS: One year after Donald Trump and Republicans passed the largest health care cuts in history to bankroll tax breaks for billionaires and big corporations, more than 5 MILLION Americans have already lost health care coverage. And it's only going to get worse.

We’re already starting to see the devastating effects of Republican cuts to food assistance.  Over 770,000 children have lost access to SNAP & are going hungry.   This absolutely heartless policy is forcing kids to go hungry across the country. www.propublica.org/article/snap...

Republicans' health care cuts just kicked 5 million people off Medicaid and ACA coverage and their "Big Beautiful Bill's" full damage hasn't even hit yet. This is what "winning" looks like to the GOP. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

As the death toll climbs to over 160, I'm praying for those affected by the earthquakes in Venezuela and for the country, which has suffered so much in recent years.

After Trump illegally demolished the East Wing, his administration dumped more than 35,000 cubic yards of toxic debris in East Potomac National Park – even after learning it contained lead, arsenic, mercury, and potentially asbestos. They must remove it and clean up the site.

Today marks the 11th anniversary of the Obergefell decision that legalized marriages like mine nationwide. It was an incredible step forward for our country and one we can all be proud of as we still fight for full equality.
 P.S. Vermont beat the Supreme Court by 9 years 😉

Today is #EqualityDay – where we celebrate the anniversaries of the landmark LGBTQI+ rights Supreme Court decisions in Lawrence, Windsor, & Obergefell, which legalized same-sex marriage nationwide. These cases changed lives for millions, including my own.

Today, we celebrate the anniversary of Obergefell v. Hodges which legalized same-sex marriage. Love is love, and everyone deserves the right to marry who they wish. The fight continues to ensure full equality for the LGBTQ community.

#EqualityDay celebrates the anniversaries of landmark LGBTQI+ victories at SCOTUS in Lawrence, Windsor, & Obergefell! While these milestone are worth celebrating, we still have work to do to ensure our community's rights never rely on a court's ruling ever again.

Four years ago, Congress passed the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act and enacted the first major gun safety measures in decades. Trump rolled back much of that progress, making our families and communities less safe – but I continue to fight to end the scourge of gun violence.

Those fleeing persecution deserve the chance to have their asylum claims heard, and Congress established a process to determine who qualifies for that protection.

This sweeping decision hands the Trump administration authority to strip legal status from Haitian and Syrian TPS holders, forcing many to return to violence and instability. Worse still, this decision opens the door to putting 1.3 million TPS holders at similar risk.

After Park Police officers chased then shot and killed Bijan Ghaisar in 2017, I fought for justice, accountability, and much needed reforms to prevent what happened to him from happening again.

$1,000. That's what the Iran war has cost the typical American household so far — at the pump, at the grocery store, in higher mortgage rates, and in what we're spending as taxpayers. And the total keep climbing. Full piece in The Philadelphia Inquirer: www.inquirer.com/economy/iran...

From the Washington Post: See how much extra money you’re spending on gas, compared with when the war began. www.washingtonpost.com/business/int...

$67B for an illegal war that both the House and Senate already rejected? Absolutely not.

María, Tedros, and Yohannes dedicated their lives to helping those most in need. Five years after their deaths, we continue to demand answers and accountability, and the protection of humanitarian workers everywhere.

Four years. Every day since #Dobbs has only reminded us of the urgency and the stakes of our fight. Today, we honor those harmed and even lost because politicians stood between them and their health care. And we vow to keep fighting for a more just tomorrow. Reproductive Freedom Now.

Four years ago, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, eliminating a woman’s right to choose. Since then, Republican extremists have fought to further restrict women’s reproductive freedoms. House Democrats are fighting back. We will always stand up for reproductive rights.

Since the catastrophic Dobbs decision, Republicans have restricted access to essential health care across the country. On the anniversary of that decision, Democrats are fighting back, including in Virginia, to protect women’s reproductive freedom.

The President who promised lower costs on Day 1 is refusing to sign the largest housing affordability bill in a generation. It's a slap in the face to millions of Americans struggling to afford a place to live.   My Republican colleagues need to find some courage and stand up to this mad king.

Trump turned this Reflecting Pool into a personal obsession, spent millions of taxpayer dollars to deliver a mess, and is now literally putting a fence around his own failure. It's hard to think of a better symbol of this administration's incompetence.

So to be clear, Trump charged American taxpayers $14 million for a corrupt contract and a botched paint job. And instead of taking responsibility, he’s arresting people. This is what he’s focused on, not high gas and grocery prices. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
