Communities must be able to prepare for and respond swiftly to these natural disasters to save American lives. Every week we learn of something new that the Trump Administration is doing that threatens the ability to prepare for or help communities rebuild after a disaster. 3/

Natural disasters are becoming more frequent, more severe, and more costly. Recent severe weather events have claimed lives and devastated communities in New Mexico, Texas, North Carolina, and here in Northern Virginia: wjla.com/news/local/d... 2/

When President Trump fires disaster experts and scientists, dismantles disaster preparedness programs, and denies or delays aid, it puts American lives at risk. I led more than 80 of my colleagues in demanding that he reinstate disaster response staff and programs:

This move, on top of civilian starvation and killing in Gaza and a disastrous Gaza City attack plan, are proof of the Israeli government's hostility to peaceful coexistence with Palestinians. I cosponsored the Block the Bombs Act in June because we can't support this.

Israel is moving forward with controversial plans to build thousands of new housing units in the occupied West Bank, splitting the territory in two, a scheme far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said would “permanently bury the idea of a Palestinian state.”

America was founded on the principle of self determination, which Washingtonians deserve no less than anyone else. Trump just showed again why representation is a vital protection against arbitrary abuses of power. The District of Columbia should be a state, and I'll keep pushing for statehood.

Trump's announcement is an unserious and unacceptable publicity stunt. If he wants to reduce DC crime he should focus on restoring funding Republicans stripped from the city’s budget, which risks cuts to law enforcement and other public safety measures.

Crime in our nation’s capital is at historic lows today, but still too high for those who are victimized. We want to build on recent crime-fighting successes in ways that respect, protect, and empower Washingtonians.
Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govAug 11(source)
By taking law enforcement away from vital missions for this stunt, for instance pulling counterterrorism officers away from their mission and DEA agents away from fentanyl interdiction, Trump’s misuse of federal police harms crime prevention efforts across the country.
Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govAug 11(source)
Trump is serving himself and is not concerned with keeping American families safe in cities and towns across our country. And inflicting new bureaucracy on the Metropolitan Police Department and clouding their work with heavily politicized National Guard deployments is not a solution to crime.
Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govAug 11(source)
Trump’s “temporary” takeover of the Metropolitan Police Department is not intended to prevent crime, it is a soft launch of authoritarianism. Trump has a longstanding pattern of seeking showy displays of power.

Donald Trump has personally incited more crime in Washington DC than perhaps anyone else living. He pardoned violent criminals who attacked our Capitol and put them back in American communities. He even made a man who was filmed urging the crowd to kill DC police officers a senior adviser at DOJ.

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.

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.
