Don Beyer joins Jake Tapper on The Lead on CNN to discuss Donald Trump's "Triumphal Arch" near Arlington National Cemetery, and the legislation Beyer is proposing to stop it.

Arlington National Cemetery is sacred ground, the resting place for our heroes. Desecrating this hallowed space to build a monument to Trump’s ego is wrong, it would waste taxpayer money, and break the law. I'm introducing a bill with @CongresswomanTitus and others to stop this:

While Americans are hit with skyrocketing costs caused by tariffs and a war they oppose, Donald Trump isn’t thinking about it – “not a bit.” Instead, he’s focused on his taxpayer-funded ballroom and shielding himself from tax fraud investigations. Americans deserve better.

Despite Donald Trump’s blatant lies, Americans are feeling the pain at the gas pump with prices nearing all-time highs.

Donald Trump is stealing taxpayer dollars to create a slush fund that would give handouts to his loyal supporters. It’s blatant corruption, and we’re fighting it in court. I joined my colleagues in filing a motion to block this outrageous self-dealing settlement.

In a Wild West AI environment without minimally acceptable federal guardrails, states have taken the lead to address real and growing risks – and that’s a good thing. Until there’s a strong federal framework, states must retain the ability to protect the American public.

Donald Trump and his administration know tariffs are terribly unpopular and increasing costs for American families. That's why they refuse to let Congress vote on them – because they know they don’t have the votes.

It’s been 60 days since Trump started this war against Iran. But this war should've never should’ve happened, and it needs to end. Now. Under the War Powers Act, this administration is now required withdraw our troops or make their case and seek Congressional authorization.

For many species, the Endangered Species Act is the difference between extinction and survival. Last week, House Republicans chose Earth Day to try to gut it but, they didn’t have the votes. This is a win for wildlife but it’s not the end of our fight!

Good news: the House has passed the Taxpayer Experience Improvement Act, which @RepDavidSchweikert and I introduced earlier this year! Our bill would pave the way to modernize the IRS with better technology to improve service for the American people. Here's why that's sorely needed:

Earth Day is a reminder of our responsibility to take care of our planet, and we have our work cut out for us! Donald Trump's attacks on our environment to protect the interests of his rich oil friends are many, but let me explain just 10 of them:

At today's @waysandmeansdems hearing, I asked RFK Jr. how many more millions of dollars he intends to take from efforts that reduce health care costs and improve the patient experience. He didn't answer my question, and instead bragged about a Yale-educated physician who's in charge of these funding cuts.

One of the opening acts of Trump's war of choice was the massacre of schoolkids in Iran. Those kids would be alive today if Congress had done our job and restrained the president's lust for power. Sadly, House Republicans again blocked a bill to end the war. A contemptible failure of moral leadership.

The ALERT Act is coming to the House Floor for a vote. I'll be voting YES. This bill would implement all 50 recommendations in the NTSB's final report on last year’s January 29 collision at National Airport, which tragically took 67 lives. This bill is major improvement on current aviation safety policy, but there are still legitimate gaps and concerns. As this bill advances, I urge my colleagues to make improvements, close loopholes, and prioritize safety for all over convenience for some.
