Rep. Don Beyer, who has served in the U.S. Congress representing Virginia's 8th District since 2015, recently shared his views on Twitter regarding several legislative actions and political developments. Born in Trieste in 1950 and currently residing in Alexandria, Beyer has been a vocal critic of recent Republican initiatives.

On March 11, 2025, Rep. Don Beyer expressed concern over a procedural measure that Republicans allegedly used to transfer congressional power over tariffs to former President Trump. He stated: "Republicans snuck a provision into a procedural measure to surrender congressional power over tariffs to Trump." He warned that those supporting this move would bear responsibility for its economic impacts.

Later that day, at 19:10 UTC, Beyer commented on an article written by former top economic advisers to Trump. He highlighted the difference between these authors and the press secretary by stating: "Unlike the press secretary, all three authors of this piece are or were top economic advisers to Trump."

At 21:59 UTC on the same day, Beyer voiced opposition to a Republican bill proposing significant cuts in various sectors crucial for older Americans. He noted: "The Republican defunding bill's major cuts to medical research funding, food assistance, and more will have devastating impacts for older Americans." He emphasized his decision to vote against it due to its potential harmful effects.
