Families across New Jersey are being crushed by rising electricity bills. That's why my colleagues & I are calling on PJM to take all possible measures to bring new energy online & bring down costs as quickly as possible. No more delays.

RIP Susan Stamberg, a trailblazer and one of the all time greats. Susan Stamberg opened doors for women in journalism, and helped demonstrate the importance and power of public media. Sending my best to Susan's family and loved ones as we all mourn her loss.

"The seismic change in Churchville is already felt by longtime residents who cannot remember the small community in western Augusta County without a doctor... Churchville is losing part of its identity." This is what Trump & Republicans' Big Ugly Bill is doing to rural health:

Norton, Beyer to Introduce Bill to Require Federal Police Officers Use Body and Dashboard Cameras When Congress Returns in September

After videos circulated online of federal police officers using excessive force to make arrests as part of President Trump’s unnecessary and inflammatory surge of law enforcement in D.C., Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) and Congressman Don Beyer (D-VA) announced that they’ll reintroduce their bill to require all federal police officers, including those from Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) and U.S. Park Police, to wear body cameras and use dashboard cameras in marked vehicles when Congress returns in September.

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govOct 16(source)

A necessary ruling affirming that transparency and accountability are non-negotiable as the Trump administration’s draconian law enforcement tactics continue to sow fear among law-abiding people. My bill with @eleanornorton.bsky.social would ensure EVERY federal agent wears a body camera.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Judge temporarily blocks the Trump administration from firing federal workers during the government shutdown.

Trump has no legal authority, "standing" or otherwise, to order the killing of people in international waters for unsubstantiated accusations of non-capital crimes. Calling them "narcoterrorists" does not make it right or legal to order their deaths without any due process.

Trump announces another strike "just off the Coast of Venezuela" that killed 6 people

Under my Standing Authorities as Commander-in-Chief, this morning, the Secretary of War, ordered a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel affiliated with a Designated Terrorist Organization (DTO) conducting narcotrafficking in the USSOUTHCOM area of responsibility — just off the Coast of Venezuela. Intelligence confirmed the vessel was trafficking narcotics, was associated with illicit narcoterrorist networks, and was transiting along a known DTO route. The strike was conducted in International Waters, and six male narcoterrorists aboard the vessel were killed in the strike. No U.S. Forces were harmed. Thank you for your attention to this matter!!!!!!

In hollowing out entire agencies, Donald Trump and Russ Vought are attacking the devoted Americans who serve their country. But I want to say to our public servants: Do not lose hope. What is happening is wrong, and the American people stand with you.

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govOct 14(source)

The public servants who have dedicated their careers to serving the American people love our country. And our country loves them back. We'll keep fighting against the unnecessary pain Trump and Vought are inflicting on families. This is not the end. www.youtube.com/shorts/v2nWk...

Trump and his cronies have been attacking our dedicated public servants from Day 1 — and now they're weaponizing Trump's shutdown to illegally fire more federal workers. We won't stand for it. Tune in as my colleagues and I discuss how we're fighting back:

U.S. consumers are already shouldering as much as 55% of costs due to Trump’s unprecedented gambit to impose sizable tariffs on imports, according to a new report from Goldman Sachs analysts.

U.S. consumers bearing more than half the cost of tariffs so far, Goldman Sachs says

The findings suggest U.S. consumers will continue to struggle with high prices — something Trump had promised to address in the run-up to his re-election.

Trump’s RIFs are illegal, cruel, and will hurt our country

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govOct 10(source)

I will do all I can to support and protect federal workers and contractors. To those workers, I say again: you deserve so much better. I know this is yet another dark moment in a dark year, but please do not lose hope. The country still sees and values your service, and your work is not in vain.

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govOct 10(source)

This Administration’s corruption is only matched by its willingness to sabotage our economy and raise prices for the American people. Trump and Vought’s contempt for Congress' powers under the Constitution will make it harder to get a deal that can end this shutdown.

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govOct 10(source)

A government shutdown does not require mass firings of federal workers, it forbids it. Trump and Vought have fired federal workers by the thousands since the DOGE disaster. Directing these firings during a shutdown violates the law, and the laws they are violating are criminal statutes.

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govOct 10(source)

Illegally firing these workers will hurt essential services for the American people and damage our economy. Vought is also further abusing power by corruptly freezing hundreds of energy infrastructure projects, which will kill even more jobs and raise electricity prices across the nation.

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govOct 10(source)

The mass firings Russ Vought and the Trump Administration announced today are cruel and illegal, and are already being fought in court. This is a disaster for Virginia, intentionally inflicted by President Trump and his Republican allies.

Statement from @beyer.house.gov on President Trump's illegal mass firings of federal workers: beyer.house.gov/news/documen...

Congressman Don Beyer (D-VA), who represents a Northern Virginia congressional district with one of the largest concentrations of federal workers in the U.S. House, issued the following statement today on illegal, unnecessary mass firings of federal workers announced by the Trump Administration and Director of the United States Office of Management and Budget Russ Vought:

“The mass firings Russ Vought and the Trump Administration announced today are cruel, illegal, and yet another attack on our economy. This is a disaster for Virginia, intentionally inflicted by President Trump and his Republican allies. These firings are also already being fought in court.

“This President is killing jobs at a disastrous rate, while forcing the continuation of a government shutdown that would end if he simply agreed to prevent skyrocketing health care price increases. Instead of doing that, however, Trump and Vought are illegally firing more workers, hurting essential services for the American people, and damaging our economy in Virginia and across the country. Vought is also further abusing power by corruptly freezing hundreds of energy infrastructure projects, which will kill even more jobs and raise electricity prices across the nation.

“Everyone should understand that a government shutdown does not require or enable mass firings of federal workers, in fact it forbids it. President Trump and Russ Vought have been firing federal workers by the thousands continuously since the beginning of the DOGE disaster, and as numerous Republicans have admitted, they plainly hoped to use the pretext of a shutdown to fire even more American workers. But directing these firings during a shutdown violates the law, and the laws they are violating are criminal statutes.

“This Administration’s corruption is only matched by its willingness to sabotage our economy and raise prices for the American people. Trump and Vought’s lawless contempt for Congress’ powers under the Constitution will also mak…

When paychecks stop during a shutdown, bills don’t. My Emergency Relief for Federal Workers Act would allow our civil servants to tap retirement savings without penalty to get through tough times during a government shutdown. We owe them that much. youtube.com/shorts/SR9Uh...
