This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we remember the loved ones we’ve lost, stand with those fighting breast cancer, and celebrate those who’ve overcome it. I’m grateful to researchers and health care professionals working to advance treatments, improve early detection, and move us closer to a cure.

President Carter signed the Food Stamp Act because we agreed no one in America should go hungry. SNAP helped families buy food for nearly 50 years. Now, over 5 million people and counting have been kicked off thanks to Trump and Republicans' Big Beautiful Bill. www.cbpp.org/research/foo...

The Enron board of directors always approved their own financial statements. It's great that these companies are talking about doing good things, but that is not enough, and it is not a substitute for Congress passing meaningful federal AI regulation.

After hearing from constituents who saw construction equipment at the site of Trump’s proposed arch, I drove down to Columbia Island to see for myself. I found workers operating heavy equipment who told me they were conducting archaeological work. My full statement:

Safety has to come first, Mr. Secretary. We should not be testing new systems for the first time in one of the most complex airspaces in the world, or without getting input from the air traffic controllers or training them on how it will work.

The FAA should not use my constituents as guinea pigs for an unproven AI air traffic control system that has Americans’ lives in its hands. I’m calling on the FAA to immediately suspend use of this AI system at Washington area airports until its safety has been established. My full statement:

At a time when many families are experiencing uncertainty and fear, it's especially important to recognize the dignity, resilience, and belonging of our Hispanic neighbors.

The founders of @911day.bsky.social sought to transform the anniversary of a tragedy into an opportunity to do good. Packing meals for Americans in need is a good way to honor the lives we lost, and the courage of the first responders who sacrificed themselves to help others.

25 years ago terrorists attacked our country and our community in one of the darkest days we've ever seen. It was a day of tragedy and horror, but also of great courage and sacrifice. From New York City, NY, to Shanksville, PA, to Arlington, VA, we remember the heroes of 9/11.

I don’t know what this even means, but I do know the reason Trump won’t give a straight answer is that he doesn’t really mean to send these checks to anyone. He has lied about this over and over again, and he’s lying now. Just like he lied when he said he would lower costs.

109796207

Congressman Don Beyer @beyer.house.gov · 10/09/2026

The “Trump dividends” scam is just Trump’s latest attempt to distract the country from the Republican affordability crisis. Trump promised he would lower prices, and instead he keeps mashing the “make stuff more expensive button.” The American people will not be fooled.

Congressman Don Beyer @beyer.house.gov · 10/09/2026

Trump and Vance are lying. They’ve promised over and over again to send people huge checks. “Tariff dividends.” “DOGE checks.” “ACA savings.” Republicans have total control of government now and never did any of it. It’s just another scam from the Con Man In Chief.

Congressman Don Beyer @beyer.house.gov · 03/09/2026

Trump and Burgum are disregarding risks and rushing this towering monument to Trump’s vanity because they believe Republicans will get crushed in November. They believe, correctly, that the project will be endangered by a new Democratic majority that actually stands up to them.

Thanks to the policies of Donald Trump and his Republican allies in Congress, the average family has had to spend an additional $3,800+ since Trump took office—on housing, energy costs, groceries, and health care. Trump's tariffs and his war with Iran aren't helping one bit.

Todd Blanche oversaw the pardons of the violent J6 attackers who wounded scores of police officers, including many who were sent to the hospital. People he put back on the street have already engaged in violent and disgusting crimes.

This is the law the Trump Administration is now trying to void, illegally. Look who backed it. A law designed to stop criminals from laundering money, and Trump and Secretary Bessent are violating the Constitution to gut it. Intentionally facilitating corruption and crime.

Thinking of Heather Heyer, who was murdered nine years ago while standing against racism in Charlottesville, and about her family. The hate crime law I wrote bearing her name is a fitting tribute, and we continue to honor her memory by fighting white supremacy and hate.

As wages fail to keep pace with inflation, businesses stop hiring, and discouraged Americans leave the workforce because of Trump’s disastrous policies, Trump is abusing his office to enrich himself while shielding himself and his family from tax audits. My statement on today’s abysmal jobs report:

“Today’s jobs report is deeply alarming and offers some of the clearest evidence yet that President Trump’s policies are doing serious damage to the American economy. Job creation has effectively ground to a halt, and businesses simply are not hiring at the pace a healthy economy demands. Wages tell the same troubling story: wage growth slowed to just 3.2 percent, its weakest pace in five years, while inflation has surged to 3.5 percent.

“None of this is happening in a vacuum. President Trump inherited a strong economy and has spent the past 18 months tearing it down. His chaotic tariffs have raised costs for American families and businesses while creating enormous uncertainty that discourages investment and hiring. His cruel and indiscriminate immigration policies are shrinking the labor supply and making it harder for businesses to find the workers they need, and his reckless war in Iran is imposing still more costs on working families, including higher prices at the gas pump.

“We are now seeing the consequences of these disastrous policies, which economists repeatedly warned would raise prices and weaken economic growth. Trump’s economy is not merely slowing down, it is moving backwards. Wages are failing to keep pace with inflation, businesses aren’t hiring, and discouraged Americans are leaving the workforce altogether.

“Yet Republicans in Congress continue to cede their constitutional authority rather than rein in the Trump Administration’s harmful economic policies or confront the President’s shameless corruption. As Americans struggle to afford groceries, electricity, housing, and health care, Donald Trump is abusing the presidency to enrich himself while insulating himself and his family immunity from tax audits. Republicans in Congress are standing by while working families pay the price. It is a complete disgrace and a profound dereliction of our duty to the American people.”

The Trump administration is working for Donald Trump, not the American people. While families are stretching every paycheck just to cover the basics, Donald Trump has never been richer. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Paranoid nonsense to justify going to war with Cuba. Because one foolish, destructive war of choice apparently isn't enough for the Trump White House.

A State Department post on X that reads: “Cuba’s assault on the United States was never, at root, a quarrel over economic policy or sovereignty or even ownership of a particular territory. It was a revolution against Western civilization itself.”

3 American soldiers were killed and dozens more were wounded this weekend as Trump's war in Iran continued to escalate, but our Commander in Chief chose to spend his day basking in confetti at the World Cup with Gianni Infantino. He can't even be bothered to pretend he cares.

I'm thinking of my friend John Lewis who left us six years ago today. John understood that democracy is never guaranteed, it depends on people willing to defend it. There's no better way to honor him than to carry on his fight for democracy, dignity, and justice.

It is long past time for our country to reevaluate its security relationship with the state of Israel. Today I will vote for Rep. Thomas Massie's amendment to eliminate billions in military assistance funding to Israel. Here's why: beyer.house.gov/news/documen...

It's good that Trump is backing down from his brainless idea, which Marco Rubio previously described as illegal, that would further raise prices. Unfortunately it comes too late to undo damage to the global economy from Trump's crazed directives. This war is a disaster.

Trump was asked what Americans should expect in his war with Iran, which has already lasted many times longer than he promised. He responded with a comparison to the Vietnam War. This is insane.

Trump has nearly TRIPLED his net worth while everyday Americans have seen their wage gains swallowed up by higher costs. My Republican colleagues see this self-enrichment - and they’re choosing to protect it. Their inaction is complicity. nytimes.com/2026/06/30/u... 4/4

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.

The project was originally estimated to cost $1.5 million. Instead, costs ballooned to more than $16 million because Trump awarded no-bid contracts to his buddies and donors at inflated rates. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/27/u... www.nytimes.com/2026/06/18/u... 3/

I welcome efforts to negotiate an end to the war in Iran, but the MOU lays bare the failure of the President's strategy. It's worse than what was on offer before the US-Israeli bombing campaign and fails to improve on the Iran deal he so foolishly cast aside. My statement:

Donald Trump called childcare and healthcare "little scams" that cost too much to fund, but is willing to spend $300m in taxpayer dollars for a ballroom to host his lavish parties. When he said "I don't think about Americans' financial situation," he meant it. www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

The American people do not want this war. Putting American boots on the ground would be a catastrophic mistake. 4 Republicans joined our war powers resolution, but we need a veto-proof majority to put American lives and our national interest over their fealty to a mad king.

Donald Trump just said “I love the inflation.”  I guess he doesn’t care if you're being squeezed by higher costs as long a he and his cronies get richer.

As inflation surges and families see their paychecks buy less each month, they have every right to ask why Republicans in Congress can always fund the President's political priorities but cannot find the urgency to lower costs. My statement on today's inflation report:

Just last year, Republicans in Congress gave DHS $170 billion to fund chaos and violence in cities across the country. It resulted in the deaths of American citizens. They just voted to give DHS another $70 billion with no reforms to rein the lawlessness in. I voted NO.

RFK Jr. is completely unfit to lead the Department of Health and Human Services. Not only is he wholly incompetent, but his attacks against mental healthcare directly contradict modern science and evidence-based medical practices that millions rely on.

In partnership with @alexandriavagov.bsky.social, we dedicated a memorial honoring the 67 lives lost in last year's midair collision over the Potomac. Grief is a reminder that love doesn’t end, and I hope this space offers a place to remember and feel close to those who are deeply missed.

Happy Pride Month! It’s always important to celebrate the joy and perseverance of the LGBTQ+ community, but especially now when the extreme right continues to vilify LGBTQ+ people in an attempt to undermine their rights and equal protection under the law.
