The Trump Administration is threatening to close Job Corps campuses across the country, taking away critical resources, job training opportunities, and housing for thousands of students. Join me tonight to learn what we can do to fight back and save Job Corps.

If the president was serious about reducing crime in DC, he would not have sent a violent mob to the Capitol, he would not have pardoned more than 1,600 rioters, many of whom assaulted police officers, and he would have deployed the National Guard when they were actually needed on January 6th.

President Trump claimed crime is out of control in Washington, in spite of the fact that earlier this year the Department of Justice confirmed that crime in the District of Columbia is at a 30-year low.

President Trump’s plan to federalize Washington, D.C.’s Metropolitan Police Department and deploy the National Guard against Washingtonians has no legal or factual justification.

Scott Statement on Latest Trump Administration Attack on Veterans

WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman Robert C. “Bobby” Scott (VA-03), the Ranking Member of the Committee on Education and Workforce, issued the following statement after the Department of Veterans Affairs (V...

Congressman Bobby Scott@bobbyscott.house.govAug 7(source)

VA Secretary Collins stripping employees of their bargaining rights is the latest salvo in the Trump Administration’s war on veterans & working people. The VA is already facing severe staffing issues because of the Trump Administration’s ongoing attacks on the federal workforce in recent months.

The Trump admin is terminating most contracts with federal unions at the Department of Veterans Affairs. This illegal union busting and violation of union contracts will affect 400,000 workers and is one of the most aggressive anti-labor moves the administration has made so far.

Trump abruptly fired the Bureau of Labor Statistics Commissioner after 3 months of weak job numbers. Now, Democrats are demanding a hearing. Firing a nonpartisan official won’t change the fact that Trump's policies are hurting American workers. @bobbyscott.house.gov @repmarkdesaulnier.bsky.social

The right to vote is a cornerstone of our democracy. Today, we celebrate 60 years since the passage of the Voting Rights Act. But the right to vote is under attack in ways we have not seen in decades. We must protect and expand access to the ballot box for all Americans.

I was in Chesapeake Monday with @bobbyscott.house.gov, local mayors, city managers, and nonprofits to discuss how the Trump Administration withholding federal funds, together with health care and nutrition cuts in R reconciliation bill, will hurt local priorities.

Senator Kaine sits at a table between Congressman Bobby Scott (L) and Chesapeake Mayor Rick Scott (R) for the discussion.

NEW: The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office confirmed that Trump's Big Ugly Law adds over $4 trillion to the deficit when interest costs are included. While working families lose their health care, Trump is wasting trillions on massive tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy.

President Trump’s firing of Commissioner Erika McEntarfer comes without evidence of any misconduct after BLS reported that the economy showed poor job growth for three consecutive months – a fact with which too many Americans are aware. www.cnn.com/2025/08/01/b...

Trump fires a senior official over jobs numbers | CNN Business

President Donald Trump has fired Dr. Erika McEntarfer, the commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, whom he accused of manipulating the monthly jobs reports for “political purposes.”

Medicare and Medicaid are a lifeline for seniors, families, veterans, and people with disabilities. I voted against the GOP's Big, Ugly Bill because it slashes this lifeline for more than 15 million Americans. We should be strengthening Medicare and Medicaid, not ripping care away.
