Rep. Don Beyer, currently serving in the U.S. Congress for Virginia’s 8th District, has expressed his views on various political and health issues through a series of tweets. These tweets reflect his stance on former President Donald Trump’s policies and current public health concerns.

On January 23, 2025, Rep. Beyer addressed the legality of Trump’s “Schedule F” order in a tweet: “I think Trump’s ‘Schedule F’ order is clearly illegal, but in this judicial environment preventing it from taking effect may require robust legal challenges and ultimately passage of the Saving the Civil Service Act, which I strongly support.”

Later that day, Beyer shared another post at 01:04:46 UTC with no accompanying text or commentary: “https://t.co/dYXgUq79gw”

In a subsequent tweet on January 23, 2025, at 16:47:29 UTC, Rep. Beyer discussed rising bird flu cases and linked these health issues to actions taken by the Trump administration: “1) Bird flu cases are rising, including in Virginia: https://t.co/IcCykFP1B0
