Today, I stood with House Democrats for a moment of silence remembering the five-year anniversary of the violent insurrection on the Capitol on January 6, 2021. Democrats will continue to hold the line on defending our democracy and decrying political violence of all kinds.

Today marks five years since January 6th, an insurrection incited by Trump, attempting to overturn a fair election. Because of the bravery of U.S. Capitol Police, democracy held. We won't forget this day, and Democrats will continue to herald the truth. Read my statement here: https://bit.ly/44YCo6k

As we welcome 2026, I’m wishing you a healthy and prosperous New Year. This past year asked much of our community, and still Ohio’s Third District showed strength and resolve. Thank you for staying engaged and lifting your voice. Together, we move forward with hope!

In a year when progress depended on persistence, our work focused on advocacy, accountability, and elevating the voices of Ohio’s Third District. Engagement matters. See how we met this moment together in the 2025 Year in Review edition of The Beatty Bulletin. Click🔗here: https://bit.ly/2025YRREV

I joined Rev. Al Sharpton on PoliticsNation to explain why Trump’s Kennedy Center rename attempt is illegal. We also discussed the systematic rollback of civil rights protections in housing and education.

Tonight, Norm Eisen and I joined Pamela Brown to call out Trump’s unlawful attempt to rename the Kennedy Center. I’m filing a lawsuit to reverse it and stop any future renaming without Congressional approval.

Tonight on Roland Martin Unfiltered, I spoke out about being silenced during the Kennedy Center Board call and why I’m filing suit to stop the unlawful attempt to rename the Kennedy Center.

I won’t be silenced.

Watch part of my conversation on The Weekend with The Weekend exposing the unlawful effort to rename the Kennedy Center. Grateful to Chris Jansing Reports, CBSNews, NBC4 Washington and all the journalists holding this administration accountable. Click 🔗 for these interviews: https://bit.ly/4pbEXZX

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

🎉Proud to say that I helped facilitate funding for Safe Streets and Roads for All, a project benefitting Livingston Avenue West in Columbus. This award will bring safety and efficiency for people driving through the corridor. I’m happy to have partnered with the City of Columbus on this endeavor!

It's official. @houserepublicans.bsky.social has shown you who they are. They don't care about YOUR health care. Believe them. House Republican leaders ditch vote on ACA funding, all but ensuring premiums will rise www.nbcnews.com/politics/con... via @nbcnews
House Republican leaders ditch vote on ACA funding, all but ensuring premiums will rise
Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., said Republicans worked on the issue throughout the weekend but could not come to an agreement with a group of members who want the funds extended.

Trump & Republicans promised to lower costs. The research is clear: they lied.

And while Trump calls affordability a “hoax,” you are paying the price. His reckless tariffs have already cost families nearly $1,200 this year. Democrats continue to fight back for families: https://bit.ly/4q5zDrU

When people show you who they are, believe them. Republicans in the Senate just voted AGAINST extending ACA subsidies, which will skyrocket premiums. It’s a betrayal of millions of Americans and Ohioans, who rely on affordable care. When will Republicans start putting working people first?
Senate rejects extension of health care subsidies as costs are set to rise for millions of Americans
The Senate has rejected legislation to extend Affordable Care Act tax credits, essentially guaranteeing that millions of Americans will see a steep rise in costs at the beginning of the year.

Under Trump and Republicans, the holidays will be more expensive than last year — putting an even bigger strain on families looking to create lifelong memories. Is making things more expensive for the American people the reason for the season? Sounds like the Grinch's policy to me!
December 11, 2025 at 2:00 PM
In 2025, it's far too expensive for Ohioans to keep a safe, affordable roof over their head. The Trump Administration has done nothing to bring down the cost of housing for hardworking families. I'm calling it out — because Americans deserve better.
