Representing Northern Virginia in the U.S. House.https://bsky.app/profile/beyer.house.govhttps://bsky.app/profile/beyer.house.gov/post/3ml57jtbamc2oIn a Wild West AI environment without minimally acceptable federal guardrails, states have taken the lead to address real and growing risks – and that’s a good thing. Until there’s a strong federal framework, states must retain the ability to protect the American public. https://youtube.com/shorts/3lTpqA_UjrE?si=nO34XZxmZywPwyRV05 May 2026 22:14 +0000at://did:plc:dhvvqy2dcefrk35kudxclkyd/app.bsky.feed.post/3ml57jtbamc2ohttps://bsky.app/profile/beyer.house.gov/post/3ml4tukcylk2pThis is deeply concerning especially in light of the news that the Trump administration is shutting down the office tasked with investigating abuse while ICE and CBP continue violating basic human rights and federal detention standards, an unacceptable and deliberate attempt to avoid accountability. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2026/05/04/ice-detention-centers-force/05 May 2026 18:45 +0000at://did:plc:dhvvqy2dcefrk35kudxclkyd/app.bsky.feed.post/3ml4tukcylk2phttps://bsky.app/profile/beyer.house.gov/post/3ml4pelcfoc2sIf the President wanted to curb nuclear risk, withdrawing from the JCPOA clearly moved us in the opposite direction. Now Americans are paying the price of Trump's reckless decisions with a 40% spike in gas prices – hardly a ‘small price’ to pay.

It's completely shameful, but I'm glad to see the court put at least a temporary stop to this. Our public spaces should not become exclusive backrooms for MAGA sycophants.

That's why they refuse to let Congress vote on them – because they know they don’t have the votes. https://youtube.com/shorts/OnBRaGop5Q0?feature=share04 May 2026 19:16 +0000at://did:plc:dhvvqy2dcefrk35kudxclkyd/app.bsky.feed.post/3ml2f55q6622lhttps://bsky.app/profile/beyer.house.gov/post/3mkzyg6wog22lTrump’s destructive immigration policies could cost the U.S. up to $479 billion in tax revenue over the next decade. Add in his massive tax cuts for the wealthy, and now the national debt has surpassed 100% of GDP. Complete fiscal negligence.
