Long overdue. The plaque honoring the officers who defended the Capitol on January 6 was installed albeit with no moment to publicly recognize the courage of those who risked their lives to protect our democracy. Honoring them shouldn't be controversial.

Years after Congress ordered a plaque to honor the police defending the Capitol on Jan. 6, it was finally installed — at 4 am this morning. @oliviacgeorge.bsky.social was there. Read her eloquent, somber scoop. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

When American workers have to dip into their 401(k)s just to cover emergencies, that’s a ringing alarm bell about the state of our economy. Americans simply can’t afford Donald Trump’s harmful policies.

A record number of American workers are pulling money from their 401(k)s to cover financial emergencies.

Trump is abusing the powers of the Executive to turn a simple contract dispute into a complicated legal battle with major implications for American businesses. Here's a breakdown of the truth of what's going on, and what Congress should do to stop it:

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govMar 6(source)

One of the primary reasons the State Department exists is to serve Americans abroad, and they're desperately failing at that right now. I’ve heard from many families whose loved ones are stranded abroad. The Trump Administration must get our people home. www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/v...

‘Explosions every day': Virginia woman on way to wedding in India stranded in Qatar

Arlington, Virginia, resident Anjali Sharma — stuck in the Middle East since Saturday amid the war in Iran — documents her story on social media from a hotel in Doha, Qatar. “I think it really hit me ...

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govMar 6(source)

We cannot simply brush this aside because she’s been dismissed, those actions must be fully and independently investigated.

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govMar 6(source)

Serious questions also remain about Noem’s unconstitutional guidance, refusal to comply with lawful court orders, refusal to disperse disaster aid, and her obstruction of independent investigations into the killings of U.S. citizens in Minnesota.

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govMar 6(source)

Trump’s decision to fire Noem is long overdue. But this doesn’t address the deeper lawlessness and abuses that continue to plague DHS. The American public deserves clear commitments that DHS will follow the rule of law, and that there will be real transparency and accountability for misconduct.

Beyer on February Jobs Report: “A Flashing Red Warning Light for the Trump Administration”

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govMar 6(source)

Mounting uncertainty is leading companies to slow hiring. Meanwhile, as Americans pay more for groceries, electricity, housing, and health care, Republicans in Congress continue to cede their power to rein in the Trump Administration’s catastrophic and harmful policies.

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govMar 6(source)

Meanwhile, service-sector hiring – especially in healthcare, which has long been the main engine of job growth – is slowing and reporting losses. The disastrous consequences of Trump’s erratic decisions are becoming clearer by the day.

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govMar 6(source)

Far from sparking a manufacturing renaissance, Trump’s tariffs have worsened a months-long slide in blue-collar employment. Those jobs now sit roughly half a million below what was projected in 2023 and 2024.

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govMar 6(source)

Already under strain from the President’s trade war and anti-immigrant crusade, our economy is extremely ill-prepared to deal with yet another wave of Trump-induced chaos, this time in the form of an illegal war of choice in the Middle East which is rapidly driving up energy prices across the globe.

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govMar 6(source)

Today's jobs report found the economy shed 92,000 jobs, raising the unemployment rate to 4.4 percent – one of the highest rates since 2021. Since Trump’s tariffs took effect, the economy on balance lost 19,000 jobs. This should be a flashing red warning light for the Trump Administration.

The US continues losing blue-collar jobs—year-on-year job losses have hit 238k as manufacturing, transportation, & mining industries lose jobs at a rapid pace, while growth in construction remains low

ICE and CBP killed two American citizens and caused the deaths of immigrants who did nothing wrong. Yet, Republicans refuse to rein them in. I voted NO on this bill to fund DHS because Congress shouldn’t give these lawless agencies a blind eye or a blank check.

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govMar 5(source)

The House just defeated the Iran War Powers Resolution. A tragic mistake, but it is not a war authorization. Under the Constitution, Trump's war remains illegal without authorization from Congress. Congress shouldn't vote to fund a war it has not authorized—not another penny.

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govMar 5(source)

Good - and I cannot emphasize this enough - riddance.

BREAKING President Trump has fired Kristi Noem as DHS Secretary and says he is replacing her with Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin.

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govMar 4(source)

Last week Trump again told Congress and the country that his strikes on Iran last year "obliterated" Iran's nuclear weapons program. Today he says they were two weeks away from a bomb, something his Administration has not supported with intelligence. More lies about the war.

Trump: "If we didn't hit within 2 weeks, they would've had a nuclear weapon. When crazy people have nuclear weapons bad things happen."

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govMar 4(source)

We have heard feedback on these measures from folks overseas, and some of it is disheartening. To those who are stuck, scared, and unsure of what comes next: I hear you. I'm pressing the Administration to improve its support and assistance to Americans in the Middle East.
