A huge win for VA: after @markwarner.bsky.social, @bobbyscott.house.gov, and I filed an amicus brief in court, a judge ruled that Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind will resume construction! This project will create jobs, lower costs, and cement VA as a leader in this industry.

The federal "tipped" minimum wage is $2.13 per hour. Despite millions of Americans already working for poverty wages, Republicans tried to pass a bill this week that could have made it millions more. Watch @bobbyscott.house.gov fight this bad bill. youtu.be/Vip_pnG23yE

Yesterday’s killing of an American citizen by an ICE agent in Minneapolis is truly disturbing. I’m confident there will be a thorough and fair investigation by Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison. www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

ICE agent was not in the vehicle’s path when he fired at driver, video shows

An analysis of video footage raises questions about claims by President Donald Trump and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi L. Noem about the fatal shooting in Minneapolis.

However, the reprehensible conduct of a foreign leader, absent a clear and immediate threat to the United States, does not give any president the authority to disregard the Constitution. My full statement:

Congressman Bobby Scott@bobbyscott.house.govJan 3(source)

I am deeply concerned by reports of U.S. military strikes in Venezuela and the capture of President Maduro. There is no question that Nicolás Maduro is a brutal and corrupt leader who has inflicted enormous harm on the Venezuelan people.
