Harvard has taken a stand against the Administration's overreach and now the Administration is seeking retribution. Students are not political pawns. I agree with the Court's decision: blocking foreign students from enrolling would cause "immediate and irreparable injury.”

Dear America, While you were sleeping, House Republicans voted to: ❌Reduce or eliminate Pell Grants for 4 million students ❌Rip access to free school meals away from up to 18.3 million children ❌Kick at least 13.7 million people off their health insurance. Oh...and it does not reduce the deficit.

I was disturbed to learn of the murder of two Israeli embassy staff last night. My thoughts are with their families. We all have a duty to address rising antisemitism and root out hate and violence.

Two Israeli Embassy staff members were fatally shot in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday night outside an event at the Capital Jewish Museum, officials said. The suspect was detained shortly after the shooting. Follow live updates. nyti.ms/3SOu1ne

A headline reads: "2 Israeli Embassy Staffers Killed in D.C. Shooting near Jewish Museum." An aerial image shows the Capital Jewish Museum, with the approximate location of the shooting circled and an arrow pointing to the north entrance where the suspect was arrested.

Republicans are trying to take health care away from almost 14 million Americans in the dead of night. I reminded them to their faces just how many of their constituents they're screwing over so billionaires can get trillions in tax cuts.

Congressman Bobby Scott@bobbyscott.house.govMay 22(source)

This bill forces nearly 14 million people off their health care and takes away food assistance from millions of others. My full statement below. bobbyscott.house.gov/media-center...

Scott Votes Against GOP’s Big, Bad Billionaires’ Bill

Congressman Bobby Scott@bobbyscott.house.govMay 22(source)

I just voted NO on House Republicans' Big, Bad Billionaires' Bill. It will add $3.8 trillion to the national debt in order to shovel massive tax breaks to billionaires and corporations. And they will make America’s middle class and working families pay the price.

Congressman Bobby Scott@bobbyscott.house.govMay 22(source)

This terrible bill gives massive tax breaks to the wealthy, kicks nearly 14 million people off their health care, slashes education funding, puts more than 18 million kids at risk of losing their school meals and explodes the deficit.

Congressman Bobby Scott@bobbyscott.house.govMay 21(source)

House Republicans began the final committee meeting on Trump's Big Bad Billionaires' Bill at 1 AM and it is still going. I finished my testimony earlier today.

Congressman Bobby Scott@bobbyscott.house.govMay 21(source)

12 hours later and we still don't have final text of the GOP’s Big, Bad Budget Bill that will kick nearly 14 million people off their health care and put more than 18 million kids at risk of losing their school meals.

I will miss our friendship and his infectious energy and humor. This is a true loss for Virginia and our entire nation. I am praying for his family, his staff and his other loved ones at this time.

Congressman Bobby Scott@bobbyscott.house.govMay 21(source)

It was with immense sadness that I learned of @connolly.house.gov’s passing. He was a relentless advocate for his constituents and a true public servant who loved America, the Commonwealth of Virginia and his hometown of Fairfax.

For many children, the food they receive in school is the only healthy food they will have that day. Yet, according to the latest estimates, the Republicans' bill to give tax breaks to billionaires could result in 18.3 million children losing access to free school meals.
