Trump nominated a man so compromised he ran away from his House seat in the face of an Ethics report to be our top law enforcement officer.

Tulsi Gabbard is wholly unqualified to serve as DNI. She has absolutely no experience with the intelligence community and repeatedly parrots Putin and al-Assad talking points. Allowing her to lead US intelligence agencies would be detrimental to our national security.
Only for me, not for thee! Here is Donald Trump, praising the professionalism and orderly presidential transition he denied the incoming Biden administration in 2020.
H.R. 9495 would allow the stripping of tax-exempt non-profit status with no due process. This authority would be merely duplicative in the right hands, but extremely dangerous in the wrong hands. The bill failed. I voted no.

Good news: Wages have grown faster than inflation for 18 months.
In October:
Wage gains: 4% in past year
Inflation: 2.6% in past year
This is how most Americans will ultimately be able to get ahead. Prices won't go down, but wages will go up enough to offset the higher prices.
To those of you who are just joining us here on Bluesky, welcome!
I'm Don Beyer, representing Northern Virginia's 8th District in the US House of Representatives. I'm excited to continue the conversation with constituents and people across the country on here. Looking forward to keeping in touch.
Some good news: The EPA just finalized a rule, as mandated by the Inflation Reduction Act, to reduce unnecessary methane leaks that contribute to our worsening climate crisis.

Many of you are worried about what a Trump White House means for your life and livelihood. We have a tough battle ahead – but I want you to know that I will be your champion and remain committed to fighting against efforts to erase our progress.
My full statement:
Happy Diwali to all celebrating in Northern Virginia and beyond! May your celebrations be filled with light and joy.
15 years ago today, President Obama signed the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act into law, expanding critical protections for Americans.
Everyone – regardless of gender, sexual orientation, or disability – deserves safety, dignity, and justice.
In an extreme and egregious abuse of power, Trump incited a deadly insurrection to impede the certification of election results, downplayed the attack, and resisted any effort to quell the violence.
For his coup attempt, he became the only President to be impeached twice.
Tanking multiple bipartisan deals to keep our economy running and border secure, Trump instead said he would “love to see a shutdown.”
The Trump shutdown became longest in history, badly hurting our federal workers, costing our economy, and embarrassing our country.
Trump’s mismanagement of COVID-19 cost American lives. He scraped existing pandemic prevention efforts, lied to Americans about the virus’s deadly danger, and failed to foster a national strategy to save lives.
By the time he left office, the US death toll had eclipsed 400,000.
As Trump himself has said, he was responsible for ending Roe vs. Wade.
His nominations of Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Coney Barrett secured the anti-choice Supreme Court majority that delivered the disastrous Dobbs decision and undid 50 years of reproductive freedom.
Instead of treating the climate crisis with the urgency it requires, Donald Trump intentionally caused major damage and increased carbon pollution. He stopped efforts to address methane leaks, undid efforts to cut carbon power plant pollution, and increased oil and gas drilling.
Trump’s Muslim Ban let ignorance and hatred dictate our immigration policies. It was an attack against Muslim Americans and their families.
This discriminatory policy caused massive chaos and anguish, while experts noted the long-term damage it could cause to national security.
Trump touts the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act as his landmark legislative accomplishment, but the reality is it didn’t help middle class Americans.
Rather, CEOs pocketed huge bonuses and the budget deficit blew up while the top 1% benefited more from the tax cuts than the bottom 90%.
Amid a mass biodiversity and extinction crisis, Trump gutted the Endangered Species Act and weakened wildlife protections. His appointments put corporate interests in the driver’s seat, while our nation’s imperiled wildlife suffered the consequences.
When hundreds of neo-Nazis and white supremacists descended on Charlottesville to incite a lethal riot, Donald Trump refused to condemn white supremacy and insisted there were “good people on both sides.”
Maybe he was looking for some of those German generals he wishes he had.
With intentional disregard for humanity, the Trump administration cruelly separated thousands of immigrant children from their parents with no concerted plan to reunite them. It cost American taxpayers millions of dollars, inflicted severe trauma, and made no one safer.
