With just days until SNAP benefits could run out, more than 62 percent of recipients are families with children. Instead of funding the government to feed hungry kids, House Republicans are still on vacation. Their shutdown is putting kids at risk. abcnews.go.com/Politics/sta...

SNAP benefits to halt in some states amid government shutdown

SNAP serves roughly 42 million low-income Americans.

Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans refuse to extend the Affordable Care Act's premium tax credits. Now working families are paying the price. Republicans need to get back to Washington and work with Democrats to fund the government and end their health care crisis.

Millions of Americans are already seeing their health insurance costs soar for 2026 as Congress remains deadlocked over extending covid-era subsidies for premiums.

Found Republicans’ to-do list.

I held a roundtable with experts, advocates, furloughed workers and others impacted by the government shutdown and the Republican health care crisis. House Republicans must end their vacation and negotiate with Democrats to fund the government and protect the health care of the American people.

Congressman Bobby Scott@bobbyscott.house.govOct 19(source)

The government shut down on October 1st. House Republicans have not held a single vote since September 19th. And they have extended their vacation and canceled votes for this coming week.

The government shut down on October 1st. House Republicans have been on vacation since September 19th. It’s time for them to get back to work so we can fund the government and protect the health care of the American people.

The federal government shut down on October 1st. House Republicans have been on vacation since September 19th. I’m back in DC, again, ready to fund the government and protect the health care of the American people.

I condemn these messages, as I have condemned all other violent and hateful messages. All officials, both Democrats and Republicans, must do the same.

In response to yet another GOP shutdown, @bobbyscott.house.gov & @repbonamici.bsky.social are introducing a bill to protect WIC benefits from partisan gridlock. The WIC Benefits Protection Act will guarantee mandatory funding so pregnant women & infants don’t lose access to healthy food and care.

Happy Indigenous Peoples’ Day! House Democrats celebrate the unique histories, cultures and achievements of our Native communities.

Today marks the first day that federal workers will experience a lapse in pay. Troops will begin missing pay next week. And House Republicans just extended their vacation.

Congressman Bobby Scott@bobbyscott.house.govOct 9(source)

Republicans created a health care crisis. If they allow the Affordable Care Act tax credits to expire, it would be the largest single-year price hike in history. Virginians cannot afford this.

Virginia’s 2026 ACA marketplace window shopping is underway, meaning people are already seeing next year’s premiums spike because of expiring tax credit enhancements. A typical 60-year-old couple making $85,000 in Virginia will face a $18,000 increase in annual premiums. (1/4)

Congressman Bobby Scott@bobbyscott.house.govOct 9(source)

Republicans control the White House, the Senate, and the House of Representatives and it is incumbent on them to govern responsibly. House Republicans need to end their vacation and work with Democrats to fund the government.

🚨Ranking Member @bobbyscott.house.gov is calling for accountability. The Administration's use of government resources for partisan politics during the shutdown is unacceptable. He is demanding hearings to question agency leaders over the reported ethics violations. abcnews.go.com/Politics/dem...

Democrats want investigation into shutdown out-of-office email replies

Democrats want an investigation into politically charged out-of-office email replies that were sent from some government workers at the start of the shutdown.

Proud to stand with my Virginia colleagues against the White House’s bogus threat to deny furloughed federal workers back pay. The law is clear: back pay is guaranteed. Families can’t be used as pawns in Trump & Vought’s shutdown.

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

Today marks two years since Hamas’ barbaric attack on Israel. As we remember the victims and their families, we renew our call for a permanent ceasefire that ensures the release of the hostages and brings relief to civilians in Gaza.

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

Our troops, federal law enforcement officers, transportation workers, and all federal employees are protected by federal law.
