I wanted more, including on the debt limit, the enhanced Child Tax Credit, and wildlife and endangered species protections. But this bill provides robust funding for domestic and foreign policy priorities through September, a vital step with an incoming Republican House majority. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Don Beyer @RepDonBeyer

There are big policy wins, especially the Electoral Count Reform Act, to prevent anyone from trying to follow in Donald Trump’s footsteps in an attempt to overturn a presidential election. And it contains the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, to prevent workplace discrimination. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Don Beyer @RepDonBeyer

The bill funds implementation of many authorized but previously-unfunded science titles written by @HouseScience in the CHIPS and Science Act. And it contains bipartisan legislation, SECURE 2.0, written by @WaysMeansCmte to strengthen retirement savings. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Don Beyer @RepDonBeyer

It funds robust military and economic assistance to Ukraine and our NATO allies, keeping our promise to defend democracy. And we take care of our own too, with major funding boosts for health care, education, child care, clean energy, scientific research and development, and more — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Don Beyer @RepDonBeyer

The omnibus contained legislation I wrote, including a bill to promote charitable giving and legislation to support the National Suicide Prevention Hotline, plus Northern Virginia infrastructure funding and other wins for our community I secured in the bill. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Don Beyer @RepDonBeyer

This omnibus bill was negotiated on a bipartisan basis, and having passed funds the government through next September. Notably, most House Republicans voted to adjourn the House without funding the government, which would’ve shut down the government ahead of the holiday weekend. — PolitiTweet.org

I am thankful to my colleagues who enacted the legislation to fund these initiatives, and to the local leaders who worked with me to identify and develop the initial requests, which will make a real, positive difference in our region. 4/4 https://t.co/BWykxPkKEZ — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Don Beyer @RepDonBeyer

Finally, the bill honors the late Jesus Collazos, a beloved letter carrier who immigrated to Northern Virginia from Colombia and worked Arlington postal routes for 25 years. I celebrate this proud day with his family and the Arlington community. 3/ https://t.co/kPK7QJEWL2 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Don Beyer @RepDonBeyer

This bill has funding I secured for Arlington, Alexandria, Falls Church, and Fairfax County projects to make our community healthier, boost clean energy, strengthen our infrastructure, support affordable housing, feed the hungry, improve law enforcement transparency, and more. 2/ https://t.co/GAjKnLvFju — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Don Beyer @RepDonBeyer

Good news for my constituents: I secured over $17 million in funding and other big wins for Northern Virginia in the omnibus bill the House is expected to pass soon -- which will also fund the government through next September and prevent a shutdown. 1/ https://t.co/BWykxPClwx — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Don Beyer @RepDonBeyer

This week I reintroduced legislation to increase the quality and delivery of health care - and make it more affordable - with a reform that is already improving care and saving Americans money in states that have adopted it. https://t.co/mGqc6wUNr9 https://t.co/28TDqswRpt — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Don Beyer @RepDonBeyer

I guess it wasn't quite as quick as I thought but there's a lot to say on this topic. Thanks for reading, and stay tuned- as I suggested above, there's more on the way in days to come. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Don Beyer @RepDonBeyer

Trump was the most powerful person in the world, but he's also one of many rich, powerful people benefitting from an unfair tax code enforced unfairly. We wanted to shine a light on that injustice too. Trying to fix it is something I spend a lot of my time in Congress working on. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Don Beyer @RepDonBeyer

Donald Trump didn't do that. He acted like he had something to hide, and lied about it. He has an established history of suspicious behavior on his taxes. He wasn't subjected to the normal, mandatory IRS audit process unlike the presidents before and after him. We don't know why. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Don Beyer @RepDonBeyer

We repeat this so often but it's a very important fact: every major nominee for president, and thus every president, since Nixon released their tax returns. The American people deserve to know where their president's money comes from and about any potential conflicts of interest — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Don Beyer @RepDonBeyer

For those who don't remember, Trump promised to release his tax returns as a presidential candidate. Then he said he couldn't release them because they were "under audit" - a lie. Then he said he would release them after he left office. Then he said he just wouldn't release them. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Don Beyer @RepDonBeyer

The IRS had, at times, just one agent assigned to audit Trump's tax returns (once they began auditing them at all). When tax analysts at the Joint Committee on Taxation took a look at Trump's tax information, they identified some major red flags: https://t.co/W9cwupUZUx — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Don Beyer @RepDonBeyer

Donald Trump has a track record. His company committed criminal tax fraud: https://t.co/SwAglGH5Qw So did his personal attorney, who implicated Trump when he pleaded guilty: https://t.co/h7ojpRQv9S Trump himself engaged in extremely shady tax schemes: https://t.co/DDu4em3efe — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Don Beyer @RepDonBeyer

It's a lot of material, but I've seen some of it, and I found it concerning. There are some enormous deductions – many millions of dollars – which the former president listed without sufficient explanation or substantiation. More from the Ways and Means report: https://t.co/eTyKGAcpf3 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Don Beyer @RepDonBeyer

That's the second next step. Here's the third. Once they have been redacted of personal information as agreed to in the committee upon release of the report, six years of Donald Trump's tax returns will be released to the public. This will happen soon, within days. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Don Beyer @RepDonBeyer

They also (perhaps unwittingly) voted against requiring audits and more public disclosure for President Biden. In our closed meeting they also pretended to be horrified at the thought that private citizens could get targeted next. That wasn't super honest https://t.co/IrrgK5ToNG — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Don Beyer @RepDonBeyer

As the transcript will show, when we were in closed session my Republican colleagues agreed that this bill is a good idea. All of them who were there turned around and voted “No” today. It's so cynical that they can't apply transparency and accountability to Republican officials. https://t.co/s3kDYgeVkV — PolitiTweet.org
