Habeas corpus is a fundamental constitutional safeguard that ensures no one is imprisoned without cause. Any suggestion to suspend it strikes against the heart of due process, threatens the rule of law and should frighten law abiding citizens who might be mistakenly arrested.

I will support legislation to ensure the Librarian of Congress is appointed by Congress.
Dr. Carla Hayden is a career public servant and one of the most qualified Librarian of Congress in about 50 years. Her unceremonious firing is a disgrace and another example of President Trump’s contempt for civil servants as well as his attempts to whitewash history.
Had an opportunity to join Newport News’ elected officials at an Appreciation Reception for members of the city’s boards and commissions. The city simply could not run effectively without their service and dedication
The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office has confirmed the Republican budget scheme will strip health coverage and benefits from millions of Americans.

The Trump Administration must abandon any plans of dissolving the work of CRS.
The Community Relations Service (CRS) supports state and local government officials, law enforcement officers, community leaders, schools, faith leaders, and others to resolve and prevent community conflict. Their work improves public safety.

Virginia is a leader in the growing offshore wind industry. Trump's reckless tariffs and trade wars are going to raise energy costs on families.

How is this going to lower costs for American families?
Reposted byCongressman Bobby Scott
The cost of living is too high, and Trump and Republicans want to make it worse by taxing everyday essentials and cutting the services Americans rely on.
House Democrats will keep fighting to protect working families.
@ross.house.gov explains more on today's Democratic Daily Download.
While on the campus of CNU this afternoon, I heard a wonderful performance by Soundscapes during the first weekend of the Community Music Festival, and I congratulated CNU Luther School of Business Dean Alan Witt on his retirement. Enjoy retirement, Alan!
I joined my colleague Rep. Jen Kiggans, Del. Michael Feggans and community leaders at the United Jewish Federation of Tidewater’s Yom Ha'Atzmaut, (Israel's Independence Day) Celebration
Enjoyed spending part of the morning with members of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. during the Young Men of Distinction Breakfast
The first 100 days of this administration serve as a warning sign of the real consequences of Trump’s disastrous economic policies.
I joined the Litigation Response Task Force on an amicus brief against the Trump Administration’s illegal attacks on the constitutional principle of birthright citizenship.

President Trump's first 100 days.
Jobless claims are up.
GDP is down.
Stock market is down.
Inflation is up.
His reckless economic policies, tariffs and trade wars have been a disaster for the American economy and working class families.
Reposted byCongressman Bobby Scott
Within his first 100 days, the Trump Administration sold out students, workers, and families to line the pockets of the wealthy and well-connected.
My staff insisted on “surprising” me with cake and ice cream for my birthday.
They know I *love* this annual tradition. 🎂
Now we are back to work opposing the Trump chaos and fighting for students, workers and families.
The U.S. economy shrank in the first quarter of 2025— a stark contrast from strong 2.4 percent growth in Q4 2024 under President Biden.
President Trump's reckless tariffs and trade wars are hammering middle-class Americans while the economy backslides.
Donald Trump, Elon Musk and Congressional Republicans are attacking Medicaid, firing veterans, choking off medical research, and unleashing tariffs that are destabilizing the economy.
Donald Trump’s disastrous first 100 days have been a failure for the American people.
