Joined @kaine.senate.gov for a tour of the new VA outpatient clinic in Chesapeake set to open next month. However, Donald Trump and Elon Musk are putting this facility’s ability to fully serve veterans at risk with DOGE’s hiring freeze and mass firing of VA employees.

Donald Trump and Republicans want to cut Medicaid to fund tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy. Medicaid provides health coverage to 1.4 million people in Virginia. I held a roundtable with doctors and beneficiaries to discuss how we must protect access to health care and save Medicaid.

This is another unconscionable attack on our federal workforce. It’s also right out of the Project 2025 playbook — de-unionization and then privatization. I oppose both and stand with our TSA workers.

Congressman Bobby Scott@bobbyscott.house.govMar 17(source)

Met with AFGE Local 448 President Scott Robinson and union officials this afternoon to discuss the impact of the Trump Administration cancelling their collective bargaining agreement for the TSA. TSA Officers are on the frontlines of protecting our commercial airspace.

He was powerful advocate for universal education and child nutrition, and he also pushed to expand funding to support English as a Second Language (ESL) programs and students with disabilities. I send my deepest condolences to his family, staff and everyone impacted by his loss.

Congressman Bobby Scott@bobbyscott.house.govMar 13(source)

In addition to being a proficient and talented doodler, he was a champion for his constituents and environmental justice for all. He was a fierce defender of unions and civil rights in the workplace.

I was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of my friend and colleague, Raul Grijalva. We sat next to each other for many years on the Committee on Education & Workforce, and I could always rely on him for a sense of optimism and humor while in the midst of some of the toughest legislative fights.

If there is a government shutdown, it will be the responsibility of Republicans who control the White House and both chambers of Congress. It will be a direct result of their refusal to work with Democrats on a bipartisan funding package to meet the needs of our nation.

Congressman Bobby Scott@bobbyscott.house.govMar 13(source)

IDEA was created because states were *NOT* providing students with disabilities an education. That is why returning "education to the states" does not work. “State's rights” have historically been used as an excuse to deny Americans rights. See: slavery, segregation, abortion.

FOX NEWS: The Department of Education is tasked with protecting disabled students across America. How are you going defend this? SEN. JIM BANKS: I think it's simple. That will be done at the state level.

Congressman Bobby Scott@bobbyscott.house.govMar 13(source)

House Democrats stand united for a four-week funding extension that stops harmful cuts, keeps government open, and allows Congress to reach a bipartisan funding agreement. I am ready to vote today, tomorrow or Friday to pass a four-week extension.

Congressman Bobby Scott@bobbyscott.house.govMar 12(source)

If there is a lapse in government funding, it will be the responsibility of Republicans who control the White House and both chambers of Congress and it will be a direct result of their refusal to work with Democrats on a bipartisan funding package which would meet the needs of our nation.

Congressman Bobby Scott@bobbyscott.house.govMar 12(source)

Unfortunately, the GOP funding bill we voted on today makes devastating cuts to veterans benefits, health care & affordable housing. Instead of investing in our health & safety, it does nothing to rein in Trump and Musk’s illegal mass firing of civil servants or their dismantling of gov’t services.

Congressman Bobby Scott@bobbyscott.house.govMar 12(source)

I am ready to support a bipartisan appropriations package to fund the government for the remainder of Fiscal Year 2025.

Congressman Bobby Scott@bobbyscott.house.govMar 11(source)

This will force more dedicated civil servants with invaluable institutional knowledge out of the federal government. And they will be replaced with political appointees who answer only to Trump and Musk. These public servants, and the students they serve, deserved better.

Elon Musk has made clear that he wants to cut Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. The House Republican partisan funding bill utterly fails to protect these vital benefits. That's why Democrats are united to stop it.

Congressman Bobby Scott@bobbyscott.house.govMar 11(source)

We are going to protect Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid from Elon Musk and Donald Trump. apnews.com/article/elon...

Musk eyes Social Security and benefit programs for cuts while claiming widespread fraud

Elon Musk says Social Security and other federal benefit programs will be targeted in his hunt for fraudulent spending.

Working families cannot afford President Trump's tariffs and economic policies. Stock market is down. Inflation is up. Consumer spending is down. GDP forecasts are down.

It was great seeing Dr. Johnny Garcia and the impressive students at the FIRST Chesapeake Annual Robotics Competition, which gives teams of 10 or more high school students the opportunity to work and create together to solve a common problem.
