Republicans claim that the only people affected by their Medicaid cuts will be fraudsters, but the reality is these cuts will mean women and children lose their health care. Discussing the importance of protecting our Medicaid with @protectourcare.org and SEIU Virginia in Alexandria today!

While debunking myths about mental health is important, we still have critical work to do in Congress to improve access to care and prevent suicide. youtube.com/shorts/kwvaF...

Using AI to fake citations would be a career-ruining scandal for a university professor. This is the United States Department of Health and Human Services. www.notus.org/health-scien...

The MAHA Report Cites Studies That Don’t Exist

The Trump administration’s “Make America Healthy Again” report misinterprets some studies and cites others that don’t exist, according to the listed authors.

Republicans in Congress are saying out loud they don't care if people die because of their Medicaid and SNAP cuts. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/u...

Defending Medicaid Cuts, Ernst Tells Iowans, ‘We All Are Going to Die’

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

My bill, the Congressional Trade Authority Act, would prevent Trump from abusing this provision, return trade authority to Congress, where it belongs, and stop Trump’s trade war from doing further harm to the United States and the world. Congress should pass it. 7/7

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

Trump has threatened additional tariffs under this authority, known as Section 232, on semiconductor chips, copper, and pharmaceuticals. He clearly is intent on abusing this power as well. 6/

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

Trump’s broadest tariffs, which used International Economic Emergency Powers Act authorities, were just blocked by the Court. But his sector-based tariffs on steel, aluminum, autos, and auto parts are not affected by this ruling and remain in place. 5/

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

Abuse of power has been the most consistent theme of Trump’s presidency, including power grabs on immigration, elections, and the structure of the government itself, which are clearly illegal and unconstitutional. Such is the case here. 4/

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

The U.S. Court of International Trade agreed with what I and others have said for months: Trump was clearly abusing emergency authorities in ways not authorized by Congress to impose damaging tariffs on other countries, with obviously pretextual excuses. 3/

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

Trump’s tariffs raised our costs, strained our alliances, hurt our credibility, and threatened the global economy. They drove uncertainty to a peak, hurt small businesses, and raised the danger of a recession. 2/

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

This ruling is a major victory for the American people, who have spent months under threat of a stupid, self-imposed economic disaster thanks to Donald Trump’s trade war. 1/

Statement from @beyer.house.gov on U.S. Court of International Trade ruling striking down key Trump tariffs: beyer.house.gov/news/documen...

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

Donald Trump and House Republicans promised to lower costs and help regular people, but this bill benefit the wealthiest among us at the expense of the most vulnerable. I will keep fighting to stop this dangerous bill from becoming law.

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

This bill will balloon our deficits and add trillions in new debt over the next 10 years, leading to higher interest rates and making things Americans buy every day more expensive.

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

Instead of making our tax system fairer, this bill raises taxes on the poorest 20 percent of Americans. The parts of the bill that provide tax cuts to the wealthiest are permanent, while the parts that provide small tax cuts to middle class families expire at the end of 2028.

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

This bill would eliminate energy jobs, manufacturing investments, and tax credits that consumers can take advantage of when investing in home upgrades or buying a car. It would increase energy prices and further devastate our ability to address the climate crisis.

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

The bill would also slash federal funding for SNAP, America’s most successful food assistance program, by 30%, putting food for millions of children at risk. It would make it much harder for families already struggling with higher grocery prices to put food on the table.

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

This bill would enact the biggest cuts to Medicaid ever, threatening health care coverage for millions of Americans. Millions more would see their health care costs rise and rural hospitals across the country could be forced to close their doors.

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

After forcing a rushed vote through, House Republicans passed the largest ever transfer of wealth from working Americans to the rich in a single law. This disastrous bill now goes to the Senate, and my colleagues and I will keep fighting it in every way we can. Here’s why:

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

Memorial Day honors the servicemembers who lost their lives fighting for our country. They gave everything so we could live in a democracy, and we owe it to them to protect that democracy from those who are taking advantage of it.

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govMay 25(source)

If you’re investing in home upgrades or buying a car, you’re eligible for tax credits to help you cover the costs. But Republicans want to take these benefits away so they can give more tax cuts to the rich. youtube.com/shorts/I3b8P...
