Representing Northern Virginia in the U.S. House.
The Constitution gives Congress the power of the purse, but Trump keeps violating the law to block funding passed by Congress, including medical research, anti-poverty programs, education funding, and much more. I introduced new legislation to stop him: beyer.house.gov/news/documen...

If Trump and Republicans wanted to crack down on fraud and abuse, they wouldn’t close more than 23,000 criminal cases investigating fraud and white-collar crimes. And they certainly wouldn’t agree to a deal shielding Trump from investigations into potential financial crimes.

More blatant and potentially criminal corruption from Trump, again using his position to line his own pockets. The worst corruption in American history is playing out every day, and Republicans in Congress are letting it happen. Shameful and embarrassing dereliction of duty.

So sorry to hear about the passing of Janet Howell. She was a great public servant who worked hard to help Virginians, especially those in need, in addition to being a wonderful person and good friend. Sending out my best to all of her friends and family today.
Trump’s Saudi nuclear deal risks igniting a nuclear arms race in the Middle East. Marco Rubio warned about these very dangers when he served in the Senate. Now he's flip flopped. @markey.senate.gov, @merkley.senate.gov, & @beyer.house.gov, and I explain why Congress must reject this reckless deal.
Republican Senators cave to Trump again. They'll make his personal lawyer the Attorney General without stopping Trump's "license to steal" lifetime audit protection. Trump and his family will get many millions of taxpayer thanks to Republicans' failure. Incredible corruption.
Arthur Delaney@delaneyrules.bsky.social · 2d agoRepublican senators looked like they were standing up to Trump over his self-serving "settlement." But a deal between the DOJ and John Cornyn lets Trump keep immunity from owing taxes on any returns filed before May 19. A potential windfall for Trump worth millions www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...
Donald Trump points to Iran's nuclear program as justification for this war, but he helped create this crisis by walking away from the nuclear deal negotiated by President Obama. The solution today is the same as it was in 2015: diplomacy, not war.

ICE agents are untrained, unqualified, and killing people on the streets. Oversight Dems will investigate every failure that led to these tragedies and hold agents and their leadership accountable.
ICE under Trump, Mullin, and Stephen Miller is a lawless paramilitary force inflicting violence and chaos on American communities. We can't accept the killing of innocent people, most recently in Texas and Maine. ICE is beyond fixing—we should just dismantle it and start over.
The Trump administration is working for Donald Trump, not the American people. While families are stretching every paycheck just to cover the basics, Donald Trump has never been richer. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Under their Big Ugly Bill, Trump and Republicans cut healthcare and nutrition assistance funding to pay for tax breaks for multimillion-dollar inheritances. Why are they prioritizing tax breaks for those born into wealth while working Americans struggle to make ends meet?

DOJ has dropped charges against a former Olympian accused of damaging the Reflecting Pool, saying that internal Trump admin documents show the damage was likely due to contractor error. Trump and his aides have publicly blamed the damage on vandals for weeks.

GDP growth for Q2 came in lower than expected this morning: 1.5% (vs. the 2.1% economists predicted). Growth has averaged 1.9% under Trump — lower than the 2.4% during Biden's last year and the 3% Trump's Treasury Secretary has promised to deliver by the end of the year.
Trump has said the economy should be growing as much as 15% a year. Last quarter it grew at only one tenth that, recording a meager 1.5% annualized GDP growth as the war upends energy markets and supply chains. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/30/b...

Like many of my constituents, I'm concerned about the potential impacts of the Edsall Data Center Substation 2232 application in Lincolnia, which is currently before the Fairfax County Planning Commission. I have urged the Commission to deny the application.
Even some of Trump’s Republican allies thought his slush fund and “license to steal” lifetime audit pass were too corrupt. They made ending them the price of confirming Trump’s Attorney General nominee. Now Trump says he would rather have the corruption than his AG.

In 1965, Medicare and Medicaid transformed healthcare by ensuring millions of Americans could get the care they needed, regardless of cost. It's time to extend that same promise to every American – whether through my bill, the Choose Medicare Act or Medicare for All.
