Celebrated the 90th anniversary of Social Security at the Peninsula Agency on Aging. Trump and the GOP are laying off customer service workers, and making it harder for seniors to receive the benefits that they have earned. We must protect Social Security for today’s seniors & future generations.

Donald Trump imposed reckless tariffs that force American businesses and consumers to pay more. That is why inflation is on the rise. www.cnbc.com/2025/08/14/p...

Wholesale prices rose 0.9% in July, much more than expected

The producer price index was expected to show a 0.2% increase for July, according to the Dow Jones consensus estimate.

Last week, I thanked Admiral Daryl Caudle for his leadership as Commander of U.S. Fleet Forces. I have no doubt he will do an excellent job in his new position as Chief of Naval Operations.

I participated in a Medicaid Town Hall last evening hosted by several regional advocacy organizations, to discuss the devastating impacts of Republican attacks on the Medicaid program

I joined city and industrial leaders at the Groundbreaking Ceremony for Virginia Peninsula Community College’s Newport News Trades Center, which will prepare nearly 400 students per year for careers in the maritime and residential construction industries

Last night, I hosted a forum that made one thing clear– Closing Job Corps would devastate the students it serves, the employers who hire them, and the local economies they support.

Enjoyed having lunch with members of NARFE Peninsula Chapter 682, including my former staff member Maggie Keator

It was a honor to attend the Air Combat Command Change of Command today, where General Ken Wilsbach relinquished command to General Adrian Spain

The Trump Administration is threatening to close Job Corps campuses across the country, taking away critical resources, job training opportunities, and housing for thousands of students. Join me tonight to learn what we can do to fight back and save Job Corps.

If the president was serious about reducing crime in DC, he would not have sent a violent mob to the Capitol, he would not have pardoned more than 1,600 rioters, many of whom assaulted police officers, and he would have deployed the National Guard when they were actually needed on January 6th.

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

President Trump claimed crime is out of control in Washington, in spite of the fact that earlier this year the Department of Justice confirmed that crime in the District of Columbia is at a 30-year low.

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

President Trump’s plan to federalize Washington, D.C.’s Metropolitan Police Department and deploy the National Guard against Washingtonians has no legal or factual justification.

Scott Statement on Latest Trump Administration Attack on Veterans

WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman Robert C. “Bobby” Scott (VA-03), the Ranking Member of the Committee on Education and Workforce, issued the following statement after the Department of Veterans Affairs (V...

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

VA Secretary Collins stripping employees of their bargaining rights is the latest salvo in the Trump Administration’s war on veterans & working people. The VA is already facing severe staffing issues because of the Trump Administration’s ongoing attacks on the federal workforce in recent months.

More Perfect Union

The Trump admin is terminating most contracts with federal unions at the Department of Veterans Affairs. This illegal union busting and violation of union contracts will affect 400,000 workers and is one of the most aggressive anti-labor moves the administration has made so far.

Committee on Education & Workforce Democrats@democrats-edworkforce.house.govAug 6(source)

Trump abruptly fired the Bureau of Labor Statistics Commissioner after 3 months of weak job numbers. Now, Democrats are demanding a hearing. Firing a nonpartisan official won’t change the fact that Trump's policies are hurting American workers. @bobbyscott.house.gov @repmarkdesaulnier.bsky.social

I gave remarks today during the Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting for the Hampton University Community Health and Vocational Center’s Workforce Development Enterprise Center

Congressman Bobby Scott@bobbyscott.house.govAug 6(source)

The right to vote is a cornerstone of our democracy. Today, we celebrate 60 years since the passage of the Voting Rights Act. But the right to vote is under attack in ways we have not seen in decades. We must protect and expand access to the ballot box for all Americans.

Senator Tim Kaine@kaine.senate.govAug 5(source)

I was in Chesapeake Monday with @bobbyscott.house.gov, local mayors, city managers, and nonprofits to discuss how the Trump Administration withholding federal funds, together with health care and nutrition cuts in R reconciliation bill, will hurt local priorities.

Senator Kaine sits at a table between Congressman Bobby Scott (L) and Chesapeake Mayor Rick Scott (R) for the discussion.

House Budget Committee Democrats@housebudgetdems.bsky.socialAug 4(source)

NEW: The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office confirmed that Trump's Big Ugly Law adds over $4 trillion to the deficit when interest costs are included. While working families lose their health care, Trump is wasting trillions on massive tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy.
