This Mental Health Awareness Month, I sat down with @salinas.house.gov to talk about the status of mental healthcare in America. We know there's lots of work to do, and the Mental Health Caucus is working to educate and move solutions forward.

Reducing water pollution and other detrimental effects of toxic mining disposal is commonsense,
and I've introduced the CLEAN UP Mines Act to get it done.
More on my bill here:

Allowing Donald Trump to desecrate Arlington National Cemetery to inflate his ego would not only be wrong, it would also be illegal and a massive waste of taxpayer money.
As I told @jaketapper.bsky.social, I’m asking my Republican colleagues join my bill to stop it:
Trump, Rubio, and Musk killed many thousands of the poorest and most vulnerable people around the world by cutting off aid for food and medical supplies, which earned us influence and goodwill while saving lives.
But they're spending millions to put gold leaf on bronze horses.

President Trump’s plan to build a 250-foot-tall arch at the south end of the Memorial Bridge could create traffic headaches for commuters, Rep. Don Beyer (D-Virginia) wrote to administration officials.

The stunning array of white graves blanketing Arlington National Cemetery reminds us of the collective sacrifice of generations of American service members. President Trump's arch would replace that view with a monument to his ego. I'm supporting Rep. Don Beyer's bill to block it.
Republican majorities spent years investigating recent Democratic administrations for far less.
Trump and his family engage every day in some of the most blatant acts of corruption we’ve ever seen, often with taxpayer money, and Republicans in Congress are nowhere to be found.
New: A top White House aide intervened to get a $620 million Pentagon loan for a company tied to Donald Trump Jr.
“The call came from the White House: We have to get this done,” said one person involved.

The City of Alexandria and Representative Don Beyer invite the community to a memorial honoring the 67 lives lost in the January 2025 Potomac River mid-air collision.
Join us Monday, June 1, at 5:30 p.m. at Rivergate City Park (2 Montgomery St.). Details: alexandriava.gov/c/62495
Arlington National Cemetery is sacred ground, the resting place for our heroes.
Desecrating this hallowed space to build a monument to Trump’s ego is wrong, it would waste taxpayer money, and break the law.
I'm introducing a bill with @titus.house.gov and others to stop this:
As Trump demands a massive arch to honor himself, his Administration hasn't shared any information with the public about the planned traffic impacts of the project.
My guess: it won't be good.
I'm seeking answers from Interior and the National Park Service:

🚨 Every Republican present in the House Appropriations Committee last night voted to make THEMSELVES eligible to collect from Trump's $1.8 billion January 6th slush fund. I am not making this up.

Zombie mines pollute our waterways & threaten public safety. It's past time we address them.
Proud to introduce a package of bills with @deluzio.house.gov and @beyer.house.gov to strengthen bonding requirements, protect waterways, & ensure that land is fully reclaimed after mining operations end.
Always a joy to spend time volunteering with Meals on Wheels and bring a little brightness to someone’s day!
On this day in 2007, the Fair Minimum Wage Act was signed into law, raising the federal minimum wage to $7.25 an hour.
A child born that year is now old enough to drive in 2026.
The minimum wage is *still* $7.25. It's long past time to increase it.
Memorial Day honors the servicemembers who made the ultimate sacrifice and gave their lives in service to our nation.
The best way we can honor them is by protecting those freedoms and never taking our democracy for granted.
While Americans are hit with skyrocketing costs caused by tariffs and a war they oppose, Donald Trump isn’t thinking about it – “not a bit.”
Instead, he’s focused on his taxpayer-funded ballroom and shielding himself from tax fraud investigations.
Americans deserve better.
I’m proud to have earned a 100% on @lcv.org’s 2025 #LCVScorecard.
As Trump and Republicans continue to unleash attacks on our climate, I'm working to enact policies that make smart investments in clean energy to protect our air, land, and water while helping lower costs.
