Don Beyer, a U.S. Congressman representing Virginia's 8th district since 2015, recently shared his views on various pressing issues through a series of tweets. Beyer, who succeeded Jim Moran in Congress and holds a BA from Williams College, has been vocal about matters concerning national defense, federal employment practices, and economic policies.
On March 26, 2025, Beyer referenced a statement by a defense official regarding misconduct within the military. He tweeted: "Defense official: 'anybody in uniform would be court martialed for this.'"
In another tweet posted on the same day at 17:12 UTC, Beyer criticized the current administration's handling of federal employees and accountability measures. He stated: "This Administration mass fired tens of thousands of federal workers for no reason on made-up pretexts. Now Trump's people are engaging in a coverup, blatantly lying to evade accountability. These people screwed up in ways that put our troops at risk and they should be fired."
Later that day at 19:57 UTC, Beyer expressed concerns over economic policies affecting investments and job security. He remarked: "Investment is on pause. Your 401K is down. Uncertainty is up. The Wall Street Journal called it the dumbest trade war in history. When they're right, they're right. We should be working together to protect the economy from tariffs that will make us poorer and kill jobs."
