This is part of Trump's agenda to reduce civil rights enforcement and support for low-income communities. While I am certain this will be challenged in court, I am upset about the harm this will cause students who will be caught up in this Administration’s war on education.

The survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and his conspirators have continuously asked for justice, accountability and transparency. And that is what today’s vote was about. We must release these files to assure the American people that nobody in the federal government is covering up these heinous crimes.

This shutdown has been painful for many, especially Virginians. But this bill fails to address the Republican Health Care Crisis. And it fails to ensure the Trump Administration will spend money as Congress intended. I voted NO. My full statement: bobbyscott.house.gov/media-center...
