FoxNews reports Trump and Vought are already planning to steal funding from the Republican (de)funding bill (aka "the CR") and it hasn't even passed! They're planning to violate a law they haven't even enacted yet. Why would anyone vote for this? Nobody should! www.foxnews.com/politics/sco...

SCOOP: Trump crafts plan to cut spending without Congress after shutdown is averted

President Trump and his allies are already crafting a plan to make good on their promise to cut federal spending this year, and plan to fast-track it.

BREAKING: A federal judge has ordered a stop to mass firings in federal agencies (except Pentagon, OPM and NARA) saying the so-called “reductions in force (RIFs)” broke the law. “Employees purportedly terminated … are returned to government employ.” storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Amid an opioid epidemic and mental health crisis, Trump is cutting vital care for millions of Americans. SAMHSA oversees the 9-8-8 Lifeline, which provides critical help to Americans in crisis. Gutting their work will raise risks of deaths by suicide and overdose. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/12/h...

Federal Agency Dedicated to Mental Illness and Addiction Faces Huge Cuts

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration has already closed offices and could see staff numbers reduced by 50 percent.

Raúl Grijalva faced his fight with cancer with the same courage he showed fighting for his constituents and for the poor and underprivileged across this country. He was my colleague, my chairman, and my friend, and I'll miss him dearly. My best to his family, friends, and staff.

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govMar 13(source)

Rich oil executives and polluting corporations who bankrolled Trump's campaign are getting exactly what they paid for. It's corrupt as hell, and I will be working with colleagues at @houseseec.bsky.social to shine a light on it and fight back. More here: seec.house.gov/media/press-...

SEEC Denounces Trump Administration’s Assault on the American Right to Clean Air and Clean Water

I joined @markey.senate.gov and colleagues in speaking out against the attacks on climate coming from this White House and the threat it poses to the livelihood of future generations. The EPA’s responsibility is to protect the American public, not to fulfill the fossil fuel industry’s wish list.

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govMar 13(source)

As American communities suffer the devastating impacts of climate change, the Trump administration is dismantling vital efforts that keep our air and water clean and limit carbon pollution. The American people pay the price while oil & gas billionaires line their pockets. apnews.com/article/trum...

EPA head says he'll roll back dozens of environmental regulations, including rules on climate change

The head of the Environmental Protection Agency has announced a series of actions to roll back landmark environmental regulations, including rules on pollution from coal-fired power plants, climate ch...

I cosponsored legislation introduced by @replamonica.bsky.social to reinstate ALL of these wrongly fired employees - with back pay. Obviously the legislative outlook is difficult with Republicans in the majority but Congress *could* do this if enough members supported it. bsky.app/profile/repl...

30,000+ federal workers have been unfairly fired in DOGE’s political purge. These firings targeted food safety specialists, highway workers,health researchers, and more, jeopardizing all of us. My MERIT Act would give these critical employees their jobs back with the back pay they deserve.

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govMar 13(source)

Huge, excellent news. This affects tens of thousands of federal workers who were illegally fired by Musk and Trump without cause.

NEWS: A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to offer reinstatement to thousands of fired probationary employees at the Departments of Defense, Treasury, Agriculture, Energy, Interior and Veterans Affairs. Judge Alsup is also demanding sworn testimony from a senior OPM official.

Morning update: NO on cloture. NO on the CR. We’re fighting this bad bill that cuts Americans a terrible deal with everything we’ve got.

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govMar 12(source)

This provides still more reason to vote against continuing the status quo of Trump-inflicted destruction of the federal government and mass firings of federal workers, if any were needed. I will be joining colleagues to conduct vigorous oversight of this matter. 5/5

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govMar 12(source)

Trump and Musk’s abysmal abuse of the federal civil service is only getting worse, and the loss of these workers and their expertise will further harm the delivery of key services to the American people – in this case to our students. /4

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govMar 12(source)

All just to put a few more dollars into billionaires' pockets—truly disgusting. Education Department workers, many of whom I represent, learned of their terminations last night in waves that heavily targeted student aid workers and civil rights office staff, and eliminated entire offices. 3/

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govMar 12(source)

Gutting the Department of Education would have horrific effects on American students and schools. Teachers will be fired, students will go hungry, college will be less affordable, and the worst harm will fall on students with disabilities and students of color. 2/

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govMar 12(source)

Elon Musk and Donald Trump’s political purge of the Department of Education is a gross betrayal of American students. It is also illegal: Trump is plainly trying to eliminate by fiat a department established in law by Congress. 1/

This is as corrupt as it gets.

"DOGE" employees may face criminal exposure for violating laws about financial conflicts of interest. @raskin.house.gov @frost.house.gov @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social @repdangoldman.bsky.social @repescobar.bsky.social & I are investigating enforcement of those laws: beyer.house.gov/news/documen...

Top Democrats Warn DOGE Employees of Potential Criminal Exposure from Ethical Misconduct

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govMar 12(source)

Every single one of my Republican Ways and Means colleagues just voted to oppose much-needed transparency into why and how Musk has sought treasury payment information and American’s sensitive data. If no laws have been broken, there should be nothing to hide. www.youtube.com/shorts/vxUo0...

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govMar 11(source)

Republicans are handing over Congress’s power to revoke Trump’s tariffs, giving Trump’s trade war their stamp of approval. If you think prices are too high or groceries are too expensive, Trump’s tariffs make it worse. Breaking this down with @repdelbene.bsky.social www.youtube.com/shorts/EW8ee...
