Applaud House Dems Standing Up to Trump’s Triumphal Arch

House Democrats are standing up against Donald Trump’s latest vanity project — and they deserve applause.

Representatives Don Beyer and Dina Titus are introducing legislation to block construction of Trump’s proposed 250-foot “triumphal arch” near Arlington National Cemetery, warning that the project would desecrate sacred ground, obstruct historic views, and waste taxpayer resources.

Arlington National Cemetery is a place of honor and remembrance for the men and women who served our country — not a backdrop for monuments celebrating political ego.

Democrats are speaking out against using public land and taxpayer money for unauthorized projects designed to glorify one individual while communities across the country struggle with rising costs, healthcare challenges, and economic uncertainty.

This fight is about protecting public trust, preserving historic spaces, and ensuring our national monuments honor the American people — not political self-promotion.

By taking a stand, these lawmakers are defending accountability, responsible government, and respect for our nation’s history and veterans.

Add your name to applaud the House Democrats fighting to protect Arlington National Cemetery and stop this wasteful vanity project.
