If the Beltway gets jammed up, everything stops in this region. But not only in this region. This is also the main north-south route from Boston to Maine, all the way to Florida, it would shut down half the country.

We're doing everything we can to keep the tension down, let's do... by Don Beyer

We're doing everything we can to keep the tension down, let's do our best to get at the truth.

Most of us did not run for office to impeach the president, we're trying to fulfill our responsibility as best as we can.

Hurricane Dorian direct attacks on the scientists and federal employees, whom Hurricane Dorian threatened to fire for doing their jobs by accurately reporting the weather, are an embarrassing new low for a member of this Cabinet which has been historically venal and incompetent.

Pete Buttigieg is really spending a lot of time and energy to make sure Pete Buttigieg has enough resources to be credible, obviously, campaign leadership is going to have to find the right balance. It's fine in the short term, since Pete Buttigieg started out entirely shoestring and not having a finance base... but I also believe after a good second quarter, a good third quarter, then Pete Buttigieg will have to shift focus back to the early states.

I dont think its actually true, there are cynics who say this is about the next election. But I think its much more about values. We would move from a progressive, very strong attorney general to someone whos not just a Republican, but whos on the arch-conservative end of it. So the way our laws wouldbe administered in Virginia would be completely different. This isnt about party politics as much as it is about the kind of Virignia that we want.

Trump gave power to make decisions at the VA - affecting every US veteran - to three men who are neither government officials nor vets. Their only qualification : membership at Mar-A-Lago, for which they pay Trump.

The death of Carol Glover was an unnecessary tragedy. So many things went wrong. Radios didn't work. Ventilation fans didn't get smoke out, the ventilation on the trains themselves sucked smoke into the trains.

Right now, it's the wrong track in America, i'm disappointed that it's the wrong track... but given that's the way the American people feel right now, they're going to be changed-oriented.

I don't know how you run for governor on what's happening in the US Congress, i think having a president with 42 % popularity and a Congress that seems to have a hard time governing in the short run is not helpful, but I don't think that determined the outcome of the election.

The further we get from the Trump presidency.

Officer Brian Sicknick, my constituent, was 42 years old, a military veteran who served in the US Capitol Police for 12 years, he made the ultimate sacrifice while protecting those trapped in the Capitol amid a violent assault on our democracy itself. He deserves to lie in state.
