Mike Johnson and his leadership team should be ashamed of the way they treated the families of the victims of last year's tragic air collision. The ROTOR Act passed unanimously in the Senate, the DOD and Speaker Johnson had lots of time to raise issues constructively.

Families of the victims of Flight 5342 and Northern Virginia Congressmen are talking about the ROTOR Act, an aviation safety bill the Senate passed unanimously last year & the House is expected to vote on this afternoon.

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govFeb 23(source)

I support the strength and urgency of the calls for ADS-B implementation in the ROTOR Act, which the National Transportation Safety Board has been clear could have given the pilots on the night of the tragic DCA collision a greater chance to avoid the collision. I will be voting YES.

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govFeb 23(source)

He's flouting laws Congress passed and violating the Constitution, and frankly, his speeches to Congress are boring and full of lies. I'll spend my time that evening meeting with constituents in Northern Virginia instead.

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govFeb 23(source)

During my telephone town hall last week, I let constituents know that I will not be attending tomorrow's State of the Union. I believe in the tradition of the joint address and I respect the presidency, but this president simply does not show any respect to Congress or the people who sent us here.

My parents and my sister are buried at Arlington National Cemetery. Trump's latest vanity boondoggle would tower over this sacred national space, and cause major disruptions for my Northern Virginia constituents. This monstrosity is plainly illegal under current law.

New: Military veterans sue Trump over his planned 250-ft arch, saying it will damage views from Arlington National Cemetery. They want to halt the project until it gets congressional approval and meets other requirements.

Beyer Statement On Aviation Safety Legislation

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govFeb 20(source)

Congress must act to improve aviation safety and prevent a tragedy like the DCA collision, which claimed 67 lives last year, from happening again. I plan to vote YES on the ROTOR Act and am proud to support draft text released by the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee.

Today, the Supreme Court confirmed that Trump's reckless, sweeping tariffs are unconstitutional and illegal. Statement from New Dem Trade & Tariffs Task Force Chair @beyer.house.gov.

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govFeb 20(source)

These brutal losses could have been avoided if Congressional Republicans had the courage to stand up to Trump and end his trade war sooner. The American people will remember who fought for affordability and who called it a hoax.

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govFeb 20(source)

Manufacturers closed their doors and let go of workers as their costs skyrocketed. Small businesses shuttered, and those that survived will have a hard time claiming the money they are owed, while consumers who have paid more for everyday necessities will likely never receive a refund.

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govFeb 20(source)

While this is a win for the American people and American businesses who will no longer have to pay these taxes, much of the damage is done.

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govFeb 20(source)

But even Trump's Supreme Court allies, who have bent over backwards to give him unprecedented powers over and over again, had to admit that his tariffs are unconstitutional and illegal.

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govFeb 20(source)

For nearly a year, President Trump has raised prices for the American people, depressed job growth and put our economic wellbeing at risk. He's been crushing American consumers and small businesses under these new taxes to help pay for giveaways to his wealthy friends.

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govFeb 20(source)

President Trump has repeatedly disregarded the Constitution to unilaterally impose sweeping tariffs without credible reason or cause. Now, at last, the Supreme Court has ruled that he broke the law to do so.

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govFeb 20(source)

SCOTUS just confirmed what has always been clear. Trump's tariffs were an abuse of the law, American consumers and American businesses. Refunds should follow.

Detaining children and babies in prison-like facilities is a cruel betrayal of American values – and it’s beyond shameful. No one who claims to value human dignity can accept this as normal.
