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.

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

Against the opinion of the EPA's own Science Advisory Board, Trump ordered the biggest rollback of Clean Water Act protections in history. His Dirty Water Rule risked safe drinking water for over 100 million Americans to boost the profits of corporate polluters like himself.

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

Trump is promising massive tariff increases in his second term. Here’s what happened the first time: trade wars that raised costs for Americans, outsourced American jobs, and resulted in billions in federal bailouts to large corporate farms. Imagine that on steroids.

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

Trump overrode serious national security concerns to grant security clearances to his daughter and son-in-law. The two went on to rake in massive income while holding public office with major conflicts of interest that continue to this day.

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

As President, he pressured Ukraine to interfere in our elections and then blocked Congress from obtaining key evidence in an attempt to cover it up. This led to the House’s first impeachment of Donald Trump for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.

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

Trump collaborated with Russian efforts to interfere in our elections to help him win, lied about it, refused to endorse American intelligence confirming it, and then fired FBI Director James Comey to kill the investigation. Just a shameless disregard for American democracy.

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

Can we talk about how awful Trump's presidency was? It can be easy to forget. Some might want to forget, but day after day there was a new crisis at the expense of the American people. We need a reminder, so I’m breaking down some of his worst moments in this thread:

3D-printed guns can be obtained, mass-produced, and distributed without the need for background checks – all that's required are the printing blueprints. Good to see the Biden-Harris Administration taking significant action to address this growing danger. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Harris Pushes Back on Trump Claims That She Will Confiscate Guns

Nearly 1 in 5 small business owners and self-employed workers depended on the ACA for coverage in 2022. Donald Trump’s “concepts of a plan” to repeal the ACA would take entrepreneurs back to a time of limited, unaffordable coverage. We can't go back. www.forbes.com/sites/rhettb...

Before & After: How The ACA Is A Step Forward For Small Businesses

U.S. Treasury Department data shows that 3.3 million small business owners and self-employed workers had healthcare coverage through the ACA Marketplace in 2022.

I’m relieved that the House just passed a short-term funding bill. Once again, House Democrats provided the lion’s share of votes to avert an economically disastrous shutdown and keep our government running. 82 Republicans voted against it. The bill now heads to the Senate:

According to the FBI's 2023 hate crime statistics, only 16,009 of 18,800 agencies reported data. With antisemitic and other hate crimes on the rise, accurate reporting is critical. I wrote the Improving Reporting to Prevent Hate Act to help. More here: beyer.house.gov/news/documen...

Despite their claims to support IVF, Senate Republicans just blocked passage of legislation that would codify IVF protections into law for the second time this year. Actions speak louder than words. www.cbsnews.com/news/senate-...

Senate Republicans block IVF package as Democrats highlight reproductive rights

The Senate failed to advance Democratic legislation to protect access to IVF in a vote of 51 to 44.

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govSep 17(source)

This is the dangerous result of Donald Trump and JD Vance’s campaign to secure an anti-choice SCOTUS majority. We must pass the Women's Health Protection Act to codify the protections of Roe v Wade. No woman’s life should depend on what state she lives in. www.propublica.org/article/geor...

Abortion Bans Have Delayed Emergency Medical Care. In Georgia, Experts Say This Mother’s Death Was Preventable.

At least two women in Georgia died after they couldn’t access legal abortions and timely medical care in their state, ProPublica has found. This is one of their stories.

Two weeks from today, I’ll be hosting my eighth annual Women’s Conference in Arlington! The event is free but space is limited, so we ask that attendees RSVP here: www.eventbrite.com/o/congressma...

30 years ago today, President Clinton signed the Violence Against Women Act – a milestone in the fight against domestic violence. While this legislation has strengthened protections and resources for survivors and saved lives, there is still much more we can do to protect women.

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govSep 11(source)

On this solemn day, we honor the memory of those we lost on September 11, 2001. We commemorate the innocent lives lost and the bravery of the first responders who risked everything to save others. Their courage and sacrifice live on in our collective memory. #NeverForget

U.S. economy grew 2.8% in second quarter, a robust unexpected strengthening

Fresh data from the Commerce Department on Thursday showed that gross domestic product grew at a 2.8 percent annualized rate.

On #WorldEnvironmentDay, we celebrate our wonderful planet and are reminded of our responsibility to protect it. With House Democrats, I continue to fight for commonsense policies that help us combat pollution, protect our ecosystems, and ensure a sustainable future for generations to come.

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

We still have so much work to do to address this crisis and help Americans recover from addiction, but the recent decline in overdose deaths is welcome news. www.wsj.com/health/healt...

On #YomHaShoah, we remember and honor the 6 million Jewish lives lost in the Holocaust. As we honor their memory, we’re reminded that antisemitism persists today. We must stand united against hate in all its forms. Never again means never again.
