The House Ethics Committee completed an investigation into Trump’s nominee to run the Justice Department — an investigation that reportedly looked at criminal behavior including sex with a minor — and Mike Johnson wants to hide the report from the country. A *massive* red flag.

It’s long been a goal of mine to hike the entirety of the Appalachian Trail and I’ve finally achieved this herculean challenge! 2,194 miles through 14 states, breathtaking views, unforgettable moments, and a certificate from the Appalachian Trail Conservancy made every step worth it.

Kennedy has dangerous crackpot views on vaccines, HIV, and many other topics. He has stated in a court filing that he is cognitively impaired due to a worm in his brain. He should be nowhere near health policy or managing Medicaid.

So. It’s RFK Jr. There is no precedent for this in public health — someone who has spent years questioning the safety of vaccines now potentially overseeing the federal agency charged with vaccine safety. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2024/...

Replacing our federal workforce with Trump loyalists would be disastrous for our economy, anyone who believes the government should work well, and for those who lose their jobs. I will work tirelessly to protect our civil service from Trump's attacks. www.cnn.com/2024/11/10/p...

‘Feeling of dread’ spreads across federal workforce as second Trump term looms | CNN Politics

Much of the federal workforce is on edge and bracing itself for the likelihood its ranks will be purged when President-elect Donald Trump takes office.

We are new here! Here's what you need to know: 🏛️Oldest committee in Congress. ✅The folks with the money that brought you stimulus checks, lower drug prices, the new green energy economy, Trump's taxes in 2022, and SO much more. 💸Fighting to give the American worker and family a fair shot

Trump nominated a man so compromised he ran away from his House seat in the face of an Ethics report to be our top law enforcement officer.

Tulsi Gabbard is wholly unqualified to serve as DNI. She has absolutely no experience with the intelligence community and repeatedly parrots Putin and al-Assad talking points. Allowing her to lead US intelligence agencies would be detrimental to our national security.

Only for me, not for thee! Here is Donald Trump, praising the professionalism and orderly presidential transition he denied the incoming Biden administration in 2020.

Trump meeting with Biden: Thank you very much. And politics is tough. And it's in many cases not a very nice world, but it is a nice world today and I appreciate it very much. A transition that is so smooth, it will be as smooth as it can get, and I very much appreciate that.

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

H.R. 9495 would allow the stripping of tax-exempt non-profit status with no due process. This authority would be merely duplicative in the right hands, but extremely dangerous in the wrong hands. The bill failed. I voted no.

Good news: Wages have grown faster than inflation for 18 months. In October: Wage gains: 4% in past year Inflation: 2.6% in past year This is how most Americans will ultimately be able to get ahead. Prices won't go down, but wages will go up enough to offset the higher prices.

To those of you who are just joining us here on Bluesky, welcome! I'm Don Beyer, representing Northern Virginia's 8th District in the US House of Representatives. I'm excited to continue the conversation with constituents and people across the country on here. Looking forward to keeping in touch.

Some good news: The EPA just finalized a rule, as mandated by the Inflation Reduction Act, to reduce unnecessary methane leaks that contribute to our worsening climate crisis. www.cnn.com/2024/11/12/c...

Many of you are worried about what a Trump White House means for your life and livelihood. We have a tough battle ahead – but I want you to know that I will be your champion and remain committed to fighting against efforts to erase our progress. My full statement:

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

Happy Diwali to all celebrating in Northern Virginia and beyond! May your celebrations be filled with light and joy.

15 years ago today, President Obama signed the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act into law, expanding critical protections for Americans. Everyone – regardless of gender, sexual orientation, or disability – deserves safety, dignity, and justice.

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govOct 26(source)

In an extreme and egregious abuse of power, Trump incited a deadly insurrection to impede the certification of election results, downplayed the attack, and resisted any effort to quell the violence. For his coup attempt, he became the only President to be impeached twice.

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govOct 26(source)

Tanking multiple bipartisan deals to keep our economy running and border secure, Trump instead said he would “love to see a shutdown.” The Trump shutdown became longest in history, badly hurting our federal workers, costing our economy, and embarrassing our country.

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govOct 26(source)

Trump’s mismanagement of COVID-19 cost American lives. He scraped existing pandemic prevention efforts, lied to Americans about the virus’s deadly danger, and failed to foster a national strategy to save lives. By the time he left office, the US death toll had eclipsed 400,000.

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govOct 26(source)

As Trump himself has said, he was responsible for ending Roe vs. Wade. His nominations of Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Coney Barrett secured the anti-choice Supreme Court majority that delivered the disastrous Dobbs decision and undid 50 years of reproductive freedom.

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govOct 26(source)

Instead of treating the climate crisis with the urgency it requires, Donald Trump intentionally caused major damage and increased carbon pollution. He stopped efforts to address methane leaks, undid efforts to cut carbon power plant pollution, and increased oil and gas drilling.
