Elon Musk. The Un-Elected President of the United States.

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

Elon Musk and his DOGE team are out of control — illegally accessing students, seniors, and workers' private information across government agencies. I’m calling for an investigation to restore oversight before it’s too late. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

‘Constitutional emergency’: senior US Democrat demands inquiry into Musk’s government blitz

Exclusive: Bobby Scott sounds alarm over ‘void of oversight’ as Doge accesses sensitive data within US agencies

Dismantling the Department of Education takes an act of Congress, not the stroke of a pen. My Republican colleagues, who know this is wrong, must stand up with us and fight for students, educators and families.

Elon Musk’s DOGE is trying to infiltrate the Department of Labor. He wants to get his hands on the data that would let him control the market, get rid of worker protections, attack unions, and take money out of working families’ pockets. But he’ll have to go through us first.

Congressman Bobby Scott@bobbyscott.house.govFeb 5(source)

Every single Democrat will do everything possible to stop Donald Trump and Elon Musk. We will protect the Department of Education.

Congressman Bobby Scott@bobbyscott.house.govFeb 4(source)

President Trump and Elon Musk are trying to demoralize and destroy the federal workforce. I joined my colleagues and union representatives for federal employees to discuss how we will fight their assault on federal workers.

I am always impressed by the talent that is on display at the Annual CommUnity Concert, where Hampton Roads’ amateur musicians have an opportunity to perform with the Virginia Symphony and other prominent regional groups

This Black History Month, we celebrate the connection between labor unions and the civil rights movements. That is because these movements share the same core value: earning a fair living wage and being able to care for yourself and your family is a fundamental civil right. youtu.be/3dHByMBVeq0

These agents were public servants doing their job. This purge is retaliation and a gross abuse of power. apnews.com/article/trum...

Bodies are still being pulled from the Potomac. The President and extreme MAGA Republicans are blaming women and people of color for the deadly plane crash. At the same time, they are dismantling the Federal Aviation Administration as we know it. Disgusting.

Great presentations by Dr. Agarwal and Dr. McNab at yesterday’s @ODU 2025 Economics Forecast

I’m closely monitoring the situation at DCA that occurred this evening involving a collision between a passenger airplane and a military helicopter. I’m thankful for our first responders on the scene. My thoughts and prayers are with all those involved in this horrible tragedy.

Congress has already appropriated money for education. Thankfully, for students, teachers, and schools, that money is *NOT* subject to the whims of someone offended by the facts of history.

It was a great pleasure to have Dr. Bernice A. King, daughter of the late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Mrs. Coretta Scott King, on the campus of ODU this evening for a Keynote Address during the 39th Annual MLK Observance

I participated in the Groundbreaking today for a fifty-unit community named in honor of the Ms. Eliza Bains, a Portsmouth resident who helped slaves gain freedom via the Underground Railroad. This new community will help alleviate the shortage of affordable housing in Portsmouth

🚨 Trump’s illegal firing of NLRB Member Wilcox hurts workers. Without a quorum, the Board can’t issue decisions to hold union-busting companies accountable, stymying justice for workers fighting for better conditions. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
