I will be voting no on the proposed continuing resolution in the U.S. House. Republican leaders have turned their backs on Americans facing rising health care costs and refuse to address the affordability crisis their own policies created. My statement:

The Trump Administration is intentionally stopping flights at airports across the country. They continue to make life harder for the American people because they refuse to come to the table to negotiate a deal to reopen the government. Shameful. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

During Trump’s shutdown, ICE oversight staff were furloughed—leaving detention facilities uninspected & lives at risk. At least 20 people have died in ICE custody this year. @markwarner.bsky.social, @beyer.house.gov, @repsuhas.bsky.social, & I are demanding DHS reinstate them now.

"I don't want to hear about affordability." Says the president who promised to lower costs on Day 1. 60% of households are unable to afford the basics — and he just doesn’t care.

We always said the law required Trump to keep SNAP going using the funding Congress provided. He just didn't want to. Now he's filing an *appeal* to try to deny food to 42 million Americans, using the shutdown as a pretext. As he holds lavish parties with his wealthy friends.

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govNov 7(source)

“I don't want to hear about the affordability.” Trump is globe-trotting, holding lavish parties, focusing on a ballroom while health care and electricity costs skyrocket and his tariffs drive up grocery prices. “I don't want to hear about the affordability.” He does not care.

Donald Trump and Republicans have repeatedly made life harder for the American people during this shutdown. They should try helping them instead, and work with Democrats to lower health care costs for millions of Americans. That's what the American people are asking for.

Nancy Pelosi is a major figure in American history. She’s more than a barrier breaker, she is one of our most brilliant and accomplished leaders, who repeatedly overcame steep odds to deliver results that changed people’s lives for the better. Happy retirement, Madam Speaker.

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

The American people do not want a king, they want leaders who care about them and solve their problems, which is the kind of governor Virginians see in Abigail Spanberger. 12/12

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

We have made clear that they will not do so unopposed, and the opposition will only gain strength and momentum from these powerful results. 11/

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

Rather than address these issues, Republicans have chosen to run cover for a deeply unpopular president as he makes life worse for average Americans and engages in some of the most blatant corruption ever seen in this country. 10/

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

This is a broader economic and governance issue that activated and energized many people who are not employed by the federal government, and continues to reverberate in places far from Washington. 9/

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

I've warned all year that DOGE, the illegal funding freezes and cancellations, the illegal destruction of agencies and attacks on the civil servants who work on them were deeply unpopular – and that is clearly reflected in these results. 8/

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

I am proud and not surprised that some of the most enthusiastic voters were Northern Virginians, who have been treated so awfully by this Administration and its Republican allies. 7/

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

The concerns about high costs are not isolated to Virginia; this is a huge, nationwide problem that demands solutions - which Republicans are failing to offer. 6/

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

President Trump ran on the promise to fix these problems quickly, but with his Republican allies he has instead made them worse: raising the costs of groceries and goods with crazy tariffs, and raising electricity prices and health care costs with their Big Bill. 5/

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

She also shattered Virginia’s glass ceiling at long last, and I cannot wait to address my friend as ‘Madam Governor.' Virginia voters sent a clear message that they are not happy about rising prices, rising unemployment, and the state of the economy. 4/

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

She flipped rural counties that haven’t supported Democratic candidates in years, and her success helped deliver the biggest Democratic wins in the House of Delegates in nearly four decades. 3/
