Today, the Trump Administration and Governor Youngkin announced plans to relocate HUD into NSF's HQ building in Alexandria. NSF thrives in and because Northern Virginia is a robust science and technology hub. Our community remains the ideal location for its headquarters.

I offered an amendment to bar the use of funds for tactical strikes or ground operations against Iran without authorization from Congress. Republicans are blocking it from getting a vote.

Appropriations amendment offered by Mr. Beyer of Virginia that states "none of the funds made available by this Act may be used... United States military involvement in tactical strikes or on ground operations in Iran without explicit congressional authorization."

Three years after the Dobbs decision, millions of American women are banned from getting the reproductive health care they need. On today's Democratic Daily Download, @chu.house.gov explains how House Democrats are fighting to restore reproductive freedom.

3 years ago, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, eliminating a constitutional right women had for over 50 years. While the extreme GOP continues to seek every tool to legislate women’s bodies, Democrats are fighting to protect access to lifesaving medical care.

Unfortunately, our Governor and his allies have failed to defend our Commonwealth from these hits to our economy, and even cheered them on. Putting politics and party loyalty over Virginians and our economic security is a failure of leadership. beyer.house.gov/news/documen... 7/7

Beyer Statement On Fifth Straight Increase In Virginia’s Unemployment Rate

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

Unless courts intervene, some of the largest firings and cuts will take effect in months to come, which would worsen the damage for Virginians. 6/

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

Sustained damage to Virginia’s economy – including this Administration’s mass firings of workers, terminations of key contracts, freezes of medical research funding, and attacks on our educational and research institutions – is bound to have an impact. 5/

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

Today’s data shows we are now clearly moving in the wrong direction under current leadership. These gathering economic storm clouds are unfortunate but not surprising for anyone who reads the news. 4/

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

Governor Youngkin inherited a strong economy rebounding from recession with growth and job gains, and a 2.7% unemployment rate that most states could only envy. To be clear, our Commonwealth is still a great place to do business, and we have much to be proud of. However - 3/

The sustained increase in Virginia’s unemployment rate is a growing concern, especially amid the uncertainty created by President Trump and Elon Musk’s indiscriminate and ill-conceived mass firings of federal workers and contractors. 2/

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

U.S. government statistics show Virginia's unemployment rate has risen five months in a row, which hasn't happened since 2008-09. The unemployment rate is at its highest level since August 2021, easily the highest since Governor Youngkin took office. 1/ www.bls.gov/news.release...

The man who paved over the Rose Garden is declaring open season on our national forests. This undermines decades of conservation efforts in our last untouched forests, prioritizes corporate profits over outdoor recreation, and threatens clean drinking water and wildlife habitats. We will fight this.

The Trump administration said that it would open up 58 million acres of back country in national forests to road construction and development, removing protections that had been in place for a quarter century.

A war of choice is not an act of peace. Trump’s pursuit of regime change in Iran would be a terrible, unnecessary, immoral, and expensive mistake that could cost many lives.

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

Trump has no constitutional authority to take us to war with Iran without authorization from Congress, and Congress has not authorized it.

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govJun 19(source)

On Juneteenth, we celebrate the emancipation of enslaved people – but we’re also reminded that the legacy of racism that upheld slavery continues to shape our world today. We must keep confronting these injustices as we strive toward a more perfect union.

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govJun 17(source)

Completely agree — no war with Iran.

The U.S. should not join a war against Iran, and I will ask the Senate to stop such a reckless idea. Have we learned nothing from 20+ years of war in the Middle East? www.axios.com/2025/06/14/i...

I am heartbroken beyond words that Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark have died in a violent and politically motivated shooting. Melissa was an exceptional public servant. She was smart and funny and so dedicated to making Minnesota work better for all of us.

The targeted shootings of Minnesota Senator John Hoffman and State Rep. Melissa Hortman are deeply disturbing. Violence is never acceptable. Praying hard for the victims and all who have been affected.
