ALCOA CEO: “.. Tariffs can change very quickly, and therefore we don’t make an investment in the US based on a tariff.” @semafor.com @beyer.house.gov www.semafor.com/article/09/2...

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govSep 24(source)

The CEO of Alcoa, one of the largest American aluminum producers: "we don’t make an investment in the U.S. based on a tariff." Trump's tariffs create major uncertainty for businesses, including the ones they're supposed to be helping. www.semafor.com/article/09/2...

Aluminum tariffs not driving US investment: Alcoa chief

The levies are also pushing the mining firm to pull back from expansion in Canada, among its largest production sites.

The Big Ugly Bill is the biggest health care cut in American history, and it isn't close. The American people deserve better, and Democrats are fighting to restore and protect your health care.

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

The Big Ugly Bill cut $137 billion from rural health. Republicans created a temporary $50 billion rural health fund to "fix" it. You do the math. Trump is now lying that Dems' push to restore full Medicaid funding means we want to cut rural health- exactly what he himself did!

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

We warned Republicans repeatedly as they passed their Big Ugly Bill that this would happen, and they ignored us and all voted for it anyway. vadogwood.com/2025/09/09/v... And it isn't just these three- more rural hospitals in Virginia are at risk of closure because of the law:

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

The three health clinics are in the Shenandoah Valley, in Buena Vista, Weyers Cave, and Churchville- rural communities in western Virginia. Some patients will be relocated to nearby providers, but some will have to travel much farther for care. Local news from western VA:

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

One shutdown is already happening: Trump and Republicans are shutting down rural health clinics in Virginia. This is thanks to Medicaid cuts and other health care cuts in their Big Ugly Bill. National press haven't talked about this much, but it's a big deal here in Virginia.

Eventually NIH rehired the lab techs and Richard is receiving the care he needs, but the delay almost cost him his eligibility entirely. These are the impacts of the actions of the Trump Administration. I will continue to fight back. 3/3 www.washingtonpost.com/video/nation...

NIH cuts delayed his cancer treatment. This is his message.

After a month-long delay caused by firings at the NIH, Richard Schlueter finally received the cancer therapy he hopes will save his life.

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

I pressed the administration to stop these reckless, potentially illegal firings and emphasized their devastating impact on the essential services Americans rely on, including Richard’s treatment. 2/ beyer.house.gov/news/documen...

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

Last year, Richard Schlueter received a diagnosis that changed his life: he had metastatic cancer. He had reached out to an NIH team developing a treatment that could save him. But due to mass firings under the Trump Administration, Richard’s clinical trial was at risk. 1/

Proud to fight GOP attacks on health care alongside @bobbyscott.house.gov, @beyer.house.gov, @mcclellan.house.gov & @repsuhas.bsky.social. At a press call with @protectourcare.org, we urged Republicans to put politics aside & work with us to protect Medicaid & stop ACA premiums from skyrocketing.

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

Thank you to the courageous federal workers who’ve joined us for today’s constituent services event with Mayor Letty Hardi and wellfed. I am honored to stand with and support our civil servants as we work towards brighter days ahead.

Our Billionaire Income Tax Act would prevent the ultra-wealthy from paying a lower tax rate than working families – a crucial and necessary step toward rectifying the shortcomings of the failed trickle-down economics approach. youtube.com/shorts/T7FFL...

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govSep 18(source)

The Trump Administration is silencing speech they disagree with. It’s not just wrong, it’s unconstitutional. Brendan Carr should resign as FCC Chair, and Republicans must start standing up for the free speech they've so vocally defended before. youtube.com/shorts/stGit...

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govSep 18(source)

Earlier this week, Republicans surrendered their own power to defend their constituents from Trump's destructive tariffs. These tariffs are driving inflation higher, raising prices for American families, and drastically slowing job growth. My new Substack post: open.substack.com/pub/repdonbe...

Republicans Surrender Their Power To Save The Economy From Trump's Tariffs

Trump’s tariffs are driving inflation higher, raising prices for American families, and drastically slowing job growth. Consumer sentiment is falling, recession fears are rising.

This is a direct attack on freedom of expression and a clear example of Trump Administration officials using government powers to silence protected speech. Brendan Carr should resign, and all who love the First Amendment must defend it.

LIVE NOW: I'm introducing the Billionaire Income Tax Act with @wyden.senate.gov & @beyer.house.gov. When CEOs make 600x what workers earn and billionaires find ways to game the system and go untaxed, something has to change. It’s time for fairness. 📺Watch here: x.com/SenateFinance

The Trump administration’s order to remove mentions of slavery from our parks is an attempt to erase our country’s history. We still live with the legacy of slavery and racism, and no matter how hard Trump tries, he cannot rewrite the truth of our past. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

National park to remove photo of enslaved man’s scars

The Trump administration is ordering the removal of information on slavery at multiple national parks in an effort to scrub them of “corrosive ideology.”
