The Fourteenth Amendment is clear: the US Census shall count the "whole number of persons" living in each state. Trump wants to violate the constitution and rig the rules to advance his agenda.

BREAKING: Trump demands a new census that excludes unauthorized residents

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

Trump promised to lower costs, stop corruption, and end wars but none of it happened. Instead he is doing the opposite. Americans are struggling with everyday costs while he uses the Presidency to enrich himself. www.youtube.com/shorts/C-L9w...

60 years ago, the Voting Rights Act outlawed poll taxes, literacy tests, and other barriers to voting. Unfortunately, we’re still fighting against Republican tactics to suppress voters. We must pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act to protect every vote and our democracy.

Sen. Ossoff Statement on Ft. Stewart Shooting

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

The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office projects that Republicans' Big Ugly Bill will add more than $4 TRILLION to the deficit over the next 10 years. Republicans are willing to explode the deficit to cut taxes for the ultra wealthy, leaving everyone else pay the bill.

New analysis: CBO says the One Big Beautiful Bill Act will create $718 billion in additional debt-service costs, which brings the law's overall red-ink projection up to $4.1 trillion. www.cbo.gov/system/files...

A few hours ago the Trump Administration was touting these jobs numbers. Now Trump wants to fire the statisticians and economists who took the measurements. Cooking the books won’t change reality, improve our economy, or create jobs. Actually it will make things worse.

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govAug 1(source)

Democrats have bills that would stop this madness, but not only are Republicans unwilling to break with Trump as he wrecks our economy, they just made the damage even worse by enacting the largest health care cut in history. beyer.house.gov/news/documen... 8/8

Trump Blasts Economy With Massive Tariffs As Job Growth Craters And Inflation Spikes

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govAug 1(source)

None of the promised benefits are materializing, we are not seeing a ‘golden age’ and are losing manufacturing jobs. It is becoming increasingly clear that there is no strategy here, only a determination to bully other countries – no matter how much it harms America. 7/

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govAug 1(source)

As Trump piles massive new tariffs on key trading partners with bogus justifications, for instance on Canada or Brazil, or no justification at all, as in the case of India, Switzerland, Taiwan, and others, the costs will once again be paid by the American people via higher prices. 6/

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govAug 1(source)

Now Trump’s tariffs are causing inflation to rise, economic growth slowed in the first half of 2025, and the job market – a primary source of strength and stability through fluctuations in the post-pandemic economy – is weakening sharply. Everything we warned would happen is in fact happening. 5/

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govAug 1(source)

Those of us who opposed Trump’s trade wars warned from the beginning that they would raise prices for the American people, hurt relationships with our allies, and damage small businesses with self-inflicted chaos and uncertainty. 4/

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govAug 1(source)

And as Trump’s tariffs slowly strangle the economy, he is announcing huge new tariffs that will squeeze it even harder. 3/

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govAug 1(source)

Most job growth during this period came in two sectors, health care and social assistance, without which the U.S. economy would have lost jobs on balance during Q2. Major funding cuts by Republicans and President Trump in the recently-enacted H.R. 1 target these sectors. 2/

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govAug 1(source)

Today’s brutal jobs report confirms that President Trump’s tariffs are a major drag on the U.S. economy. This morning's report showed that our labor market slowed in Q2 of 2025, with only 106,000 total jobs added, an average of just 35,000 jobs per month over the last 3 months.

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govJul 31(source)

Trump’s State Department is spending $300K to incinerate 500 tons of emergency food aid and nearly $10M in contraceptives instead of distributing it to those in dire need, as intended. We're demanding an investigation to find out why. More here: beyer.house.gov/news/documen...

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govJul 31(source)

Red alert for the climate crisis: Trump moves to eliminate the "endangerment finding" through which EPA tackles carbon pollution. Trump’s EPA officially takes its most damaging move yet – allowing the oil industry rather than science determine allowable carbon pollution. apnews.com/article/trum...

Trump EPA moves to repeal landmark 'endangerment finding' that allows climate regulation

President Donald Trump’s administration has proposed revoking a scientific finding that's long been the central basis for U.S. action to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change.

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govJul 30(source)

Trump is co-opting postal inspectors from their work to address package theft, illicit drug distribution, and child pornography to instead help DHS target immigrants. We’re demanding that USPS refocus on its actual mission. More here: beyer.house.gov/news/documen...

Congressional Delegation Demands USPS Refocus on Drug Interdiction, Protection of Children, Theft Prevention, and Other Core Duties

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govJul 30(source)

60 years ago, Medicare and Medicaid were created to provide Americans with access to affordable, dignified health care. But the Big Ugly Bill Republicans voted to pass into law takes away this health care for 15 million Americans. Democrats are fighting back.

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govJul 29(source)

Donald Trump promised Americans he’d lower costs on Day 1. Instead, his policies have driven prices up:
