Rep. Don Beyer, a Democratic member of the U.S. Congress representing Virginia's 8th District, has been vocal on social media about his opposition to certain actions by the current administration and issues affecting government operations.

On March 18, 2025, Rep. Beyer expressed strong opposition to unspecified measures being pursued by House Democrats. He stated, "House Democrats are going to oppose this every step of the way."
In another tweet on the same day, Rep. Beyer addressed claims made by President Trump regarding Social Security. He commented on leaked documents that allegedly reveal plans that could negatively impact Social Security operations, stating that these plans might result in "longer call wait times and delayed processing of Social Security benefits." He noted that "President Trump continues to falsely claim his administration won’t touch Social Security."
On March 19, 2025, Rep. Beyer brought attention to employment practices within the IRS. He claimed that thousands of IRS workers were unjustly fired under false pretenses of performance failures without undergoing proper reviews. This action was described as potentially fraudulent according to IRS lawyers and was characterized as an illegal act benefiting certain wealthy individuals such as Trump and Musk: "Thousands of IRS workers were fired under the false pretext of 'performance failures,' despite never having undergone such reviews."
