One of the final House votes of 2025 was a vote on @repmcgovern.bsky.social war powers resolution to bar President Trump from military action against Venezuela without authorization by Congress. All Republicans except Reps. Massie, Bacon, and Marjorie Taylor Greene voted to defeat the measure:

No one should be under any illusions that what Trump did here was about "ousting dictators." Trump loves dictators.

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govJan 3(source)

The Administration lied to Congress and launched an illegal war for regime change and oil. Foolhardy and wrong.

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govJan 3(source)

I've always opposed American attacks on Venezuela and I oppose them now. You don't need sympathy for Maduro to grasp that attacking another country for unclear, shifting rationales without domestic support or a clear plan for the day after won't make us safer.

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govJan 2(source)

At a time of accelerating biodiversity loss, we should be strengthening the ESA to help recover imperiled species. The Trump Administration’s politically motivated deregulation attempts ignore both the science and the bipartisan intent of the ESA.

Wishing you a happy, healthy, and prosperous new year!

The latest disastrous jobs report makes it clear that this is not an ‘A++++ economy’ as President Trump claimed. youtube.com/shorts/NxzoR...

American leadership on scientific research and technology is at a crossroads, and many of the most important challenges facing our country fall under the jurisdiction of the House Science Committee. I am thrilled to return to the House Science Committee to engage in this important work.

Even as energy prices continue to skyrocket, and Americans struggle to afford heating their homes this winter – the Trump Administration has slashed critical assistance that helps low-income Americans keep warm. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/17/b...

Heating Costs Expected to Rise 9.2% This Winter

Denaturalization requires clear evidence of fraud or illegality. It cannot and should not be used as a political weapon. Setting arbitrary, politically motivated quotas for stripping citizenship is a serious threat to due process. This will be fought in court. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/17/u...

Trump Administration Aims to Strip More Foreign-Born Americans of Citizenship

Happy first day of Kwanzaa to all celebrating!

Wishing you and your loved ones a very Merry Christmas!

They responded to questions about torturing innocent people with memes. It’s cruelty, inhumanity, and incompetence on a shocking scale. A major national embarrassment that will go down in history.

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govDec 23(source)

This is more than a media story — it’s a scandal. Trump & co. broke the law to send people to face horrific torture, many of whom were innocent, and lied about it. THIS Supreme Court held 9-0 that they violated due process laws.

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govDec 22(source)

Thanks to reintroduction programs, gray wolves became a wildlife recovery success story. Grey Wolf populations deserve the chance to thrive just like any other creature, removing them from the endangered species list will only threaten their survival.

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govDec 22(source)

Just as he did with tariffs, Trump is abusing “national security” justifications to raise prices for the American people — in this case electricity prices.

Burgum: "Today we're sending notifications to the 5 large offshore wind projects that are under construction that their leases will be suspended due to national security concerns ... the Dept of War has come back conclusively that these large offshore wind programs create radar interference"

Measles had been eliminated in the US, yet cases are spreading around the country. This worsening outbreak is a predictable result of the disinformation and anti-vaccine conspiracies spread by the Trump Administration. www.cbsnews.com/news/measles...

Measles outbreaks worsen in South Carolina, Arizona and Utah

Nationally, the measles case count is nearing 2,000 for a disease that has been considered eliminated in the U.S. since 2000, a result of routine childhood vaccinations.

House Democrats' bill to extend the ACA tax credits is the only real plan to ensure that Americans' premiums don't skyrocket by the end of the year.

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govDec 21(source)

Donald Trump is using the White House to enrich himself, his family, and his allies while average Americans are struggling to afford basic needs. It's wrong. Republicans should stand up to Trump and do something about it. No more excuses. youtube.com/shorts/MHIiq...

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

The community notes on posts from the Justice Department, Attorney General, Deputy Attorney General, and White House press staff are correct. The Trump Administration failed to release all the Epstein files with proper redaction levels by the statutory date. They broke the law.
