A few minutes ago, Republicans passed H.R. 1, reconciliation legislation also known as the “One Big Ugly Bill.” I voted NO; the vote count is below. This will be one of the worst and most consequential pieces of legislation enacted by Congress of our time. Here's what it does—
U.S. House of Representatives PASSES GOP Tax & Spending Cuts Bill, 218-214. Goes now to the president.
Trump's "deals" with Japan (15%) and the Philippines (19%) continue his trend of high tariffs on our allies, which will in turn raise prices in the U.S. These are tax increases that will be paid in higher costs by the American people — and it's causing inflation to heat up.
Trump says 19% tariffs will go into effect on goods from the Philippines, another trade “deal” that leaves us orders of magnitude worse off than before Trump took office
35 years ago the Americans With Disabilities Act was signed into law, making life more accessible and inclusive for millions of people. Unfortunately millions of Americans with disabilities will soon be harmed by the largest Medicaid cut in history: npr.org/2025/07/22/nx-…
The best and fairest path forward on redistricting - still - is banning gerrymandering nationwide, once and for all. I reintroduced the Fair Representation Act with @RepRaskin and others, to make that dream a reality. beyer.house.gov/news/documents…
Following Trump's awful, destructive cuts to NASA's staff and budget, hundreds of NASA employees including astronauts, engineers, and scientists signed the Voyager Declaration protesting the Trump Administration actions that threaten NASA's scientific integrity and mission…
Health insurance premiums are going to soar next year thanks to President Trump and Republicans in Congress. They moved heaven and earth to extend tax breaks for billionaires, but when it came to renewing tax credits to lower your health premiums they couldn't have cared less.
Get ready for Trump health insurance rate hike. Premiums going up 75 percent for working and middle class Americans because of Trump's bill.
More than 24 million Americans could see their ACA healthcare premiums surge by an average of 75% starting January 2026, according to new analysis from @KFF. Cynthia Cox, president and director of KFF’s ACA program, breaks down the findings.
Trump’s AI Action Plan & new executive orders are deeply troubling & undermine responsible AI innovation. My AI Caucus colleagues & I will keep fighting for policies that safeguard AI development & fully leverage the potential of AI for all Americans without giving a handout to…

.@RepDonBeyer and @RepRaskin reintroduced the Fair Representation Act this week! #ProportionalRepresentation is the single most important change we can make to our broken political system. fairvote.org/press/fair-rep…
The conditions described here are clearly torture, and Trump is sending people there without any due process for the "crime" of having tattoos.
“All of the ex-prisoners recalled days spent in a punishment cell known as “the island,” a dark room with no water where they slept on the floor. Those days, the only light they could see came from a dim lightbulb in the ceiling that illuminated a cross” theatlantic.com/international/…
The more about this story comes out, the more wild it is; an American brought back from Venezuela by the Trump admin was convicted for a brutal murder he carried out in Madrid, hacking a woman to death and bludgeoning two other people, then trying to cover his tracks with arson.
Absolute insanity. This is Trump admin banishing 200+ men who posed NO public safety threat to a foreign torture prison for 4 months, then exchanging them for release of a man convicted of killing 3 people w a machete & burning down their building👇🏽 nytimes.com/2025/07/23/wor…
🚨NEW: Further stories of the horrors inflicted on people the Trump admin imprisoned in El Salvador without trial are emerging. Three men describes how they were punished by guards — stripped naked, beaten for six days straight as men and women watching laughed and mocked them.
🚨Now that the men imprisoned by the Trump admin in El Salvador are free, their stories are coming out; and they are horrific. One man describes how Salvadoran officials at the prison beat them regularly, stole money from them, and denied them medical care — even painkillers.
The Trump administration’s forced relocation of key USDA offices is a betrayal of American farmers and yet another attack on our federal workforce. These wasteful, unlawful moves don’t save money or improve efficiency. They cause brain drain, crush morale, and destroy vital…
