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.

Republicans have an ongoing campaign to dismantle Social Security and Medicare, oppose universal health care coverage, and support diverting funding from public education. This resolution only furthers that campaign.

Before lawmakers rushed to the airport for a Thanksgiving break, the House passed a GOP resolution 'denouncing the horrors of socialism.' The House also passed that in 2023.

Trump is calling for the six Democratic lawmakers who urged the military not to follow any illegal orders to be arrested, and he’s reposting replies saying they should be hanged and calling them terrorists.

This is part of Trump's agenda to reduce civil rights enforcement and support for low-income communities. While I am certain this will be challenged in court, I am upset about the harm this will cause students who will be caught up in this Administration’s war on education.

Exclusive: The Education Department plans to move multiple parts of the agency to other federal departments, an unprecedented effort to dismantle an agency created by Congress to ensure all Americans have equal access to educational opportunity.

Congress must now get back to our fight to lower costs for Americans starting with addressing the health care crisis that is making health insurance unaffordable for too many families.

Congressman Bobby Scott@bobbyscott.house.govNov 18(source)

The survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and his conspirators have continuously asked for justice, accountability and transparency. And that is what today’s vote was about. We must release these files to assure the American people that nobody in the federal government is covering up these heinous crimes.

Breaking news: The House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly to compel the release of the Epstein files. The bill will now go to the Senate.
