Today's Supreme Court's ruling on the Voting Rights Act is yet another Republican attempt to hold onto power, suppress voters and erode America's democracy. This fight isn't over. Democrats will not let Republicans turn back the clock and undo our country's progress.

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govApr 29(source)

This ruling is appalling, but we are not powerless in the face of it. Congress should respond by banning gerrymandering nationally. This nakedly partisan opinion from the Court's conservative majority is yet another compelling reason to reform the Court. 3/3

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govApr 29(source)

Their decision today will pave the way for Republican leaders in southern states to disenfranchise Black voters at the federal level but also in state legislatures and local governments. Another desperate attempt to hold onto power. 2/

This right wing Supreme Court has long been hellbent on killing the Voting Rights Act, one of the core achievements of the Civil Rights Movement. 1/

Hegseth gutted the team meant to prevent civilian death. One of the first strikes in this war hit an elementary school. And President Trump continues to threaten Iranian civilians and infrastructure. This administration isn’t minimizing civilian harm.

HEGSETH: I know that there is no country on planet earth that takes more measures to ensure that civilian harm or casualties are minimized than the United States of America and this War Department. And that is a fact. TOKUDA: You eliminated the department's civilian harm reduction staff

For many species, the Endangered Species Act is the difference between extinction and survival. Last week, House Republicans chose Earth Day to try to gut it, but they didn’t have the votes. This is a win for wildlife, but it’s not the end of our fight!

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govApr 29(source)

This is just horrid and cruel. After racing to hand out massive tax cuts to the wealthiest Americans, the Trump administration is now looking to punish disabled Americans for relying on family support.

NEW: A rule change pushed by White House officials would slash benefits or end support for as many as 400,000 Supplemental Security Income recipients with Down syndrome, dementia and other disabilities whose parents or relatives receive SNAP benefits.

Trump has made life more expensive for families across the country—but just how much more are YOU paying because of his inflation? See the full list of how much families in every state have been hurt: www.jec.senate.gov/public/_cach...

Almost everything Trump does is to serve his own ego, not the American people.

House Republicans could've funded TSA, the Secret Service, and the Coast Guard by letting us vote on legislation that TWICE passed the Senate unanimously. Instead, they chose to extend the shutdown. They can end this shutdown today by putting this bill up for a vote. They should.

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govApr 28(source)

Good news: the House has passed the Taxpayer Experience Improvement Act, which Rep. David Schweikert and I introduced earlier this year! Our bill would pave the way to modernize the IRS with better technology to improve service for the American people. Here's why that's sorely needed:

The Strait of Hormuz is still closed. Gas prices keep soaring as Americans struggle to make ends meet. Trump’s reckless war in Iran must end immediately.

Generative AI can be incredibly dangerous. It enables the spread of deepfakes and vast misinformation across our country. @beyer.house.gov, Rep. James Moylan and I introduced the bipartisan Protecting Consumers from Deceptive AI Act to mandate clear labeling of AI-generated content.

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govApr 26(source)

Very thankful for law enforcement protecting the public tonight during the frightening incident at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govApr 24(source)

Remembering all those who were killed in the Armenian genocide, which began on this date 111 years ago. It is important to recognize what happened, hold up the truth, and speak out against injustice. The past is still with us.

Historic: @abigailspanberger.com signed a law to guarantee working Virginians paid family and medical leave! A huge step forward by the Governor and General Assembly for affordability, for families, for businesses and workers, and a better and stronger Commonwealth. beyer.house.gov/news/documen...

Earth Day is a reminder of our responsibility to take care of our planet, and we have our work cut out for us! Donald Trump's attacks on our environment to protect the interests of his rich oil friends are many, but let me explain just 10 of them:

Republican leadership intended to vote to gut the Endangered Species Act today… and then didn't have the support needed, so they pulled the bill. Happy Earth Day! 🌍

I'm saddened to hear of David Scott's passing. My thoughts are with his wife Alfredia, his family, his staff, and his loved ones as they mourn his loss.

Families are feeling the pressure of high energy costs every day, while energy companies continue to rake in profits. That’s why @casten.house.gov, @beyer.house.gov, and I reintroduced legislation to hold bad actors accountable for rigging markets and raising prices.
