Members of Congress should not remain silent in the face of this dangerous rhetoric.

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

President Trump is spewing dangerous and racist lies about U.S. citizens of Somali descent in Minnesota, including @repilhan.bsky.social. These comments are unbecoming of his office and have the potential to spur violence and sow distrust among our neighbors.

President Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act into law, lowering drug prices by allowing Medicare to negotiate prescription drug costs and capping annual out-of-pocket expenses. Every Republican in Congress voted against it. Nice try, though.

Republicans have had over 15 years to come up with a health care plan. They need to get serious and work with Democrats to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits to lower health care costs for working families.

Deeply concerned by reports that two National Guardsmen were shot earlier today. My thoughts are with them, their families, & the entire National Guard community. We honor their service & the commitment they demonstrate each day on behalf of our nation. Those responsible must be held accountable.
