Now, the Trump administration is withholding those funds, forcing thousands of children to navigate deportation proceedings without legal counsel while further burdening an already backlogged immigration court system.
It's cruel and counterproductive.

Congress funded legal services for unaccompanied children on a bipartisan basis because due process matters.
Saudi Arabia should never get the tools to build a nuclear weapon, but the Trump administration is pursing a deal without sufficient safeguards.
@repgaramendi.bsky.social, Rep. Brad Sherman, and I urge Congress to reject any deal that puts our national security at risk:
“[Congressman Beyer’s] new bill would set governmentwide rules for congressional visits after disputes over access to agencies and immigration detention centers.”

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?

FLASH: Justice Dept seeks to dismiss Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool criminal case against former Olympian David Hearn
Trump Admin acknowledges: "Damage to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in June 2026 was the result of flawed installation by the contractor"
Reposted byCongressman Don Beyer
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.
Trump’s cruel immigration policies hurt the American people.
They hurt seniors who lose caregivers, businesses scrambling to replace experienced staff, and families paying more because labor shortages drive up costs.

Donald Trump's tariffs have driven up the costs of building a home, pushing homeownership further out of reach for many Americans.
I introduced the Homebuilding Materials Tariff Relief Act to provide immediate relief from these tariffs.

The most corrupt President in American history also has an extremely corrupt Cabinet.
Donald Trump and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick have used their positions to funnel millions of dollars to themselves and their sons, all while Americans are struggling with daily expenses.

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.
Reposted byCongressman Don Beyer
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...

@beyer.house.gov and I made it clear they need to address this, and fast. As wildfire seasons grow longer and more destructive, we can't afford unnecessary delays that put our communities and public lands at risk.
Read my letter to the Planning Commission:

While I understand that Fairfax County has adopted guidelines intended to minimize the impacts of data center infrastructure on surrounding neighborhoods, I agree with residents and stakeholders that the proposed substation is inconsistent with those goals.
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.
This war was always a terrible idea, the cost in lives and economic pain is too high, and it isn’t making us safer.
I voted against funding the war, and for a resolution to bring it to an end.
