The nonpartisan CBO found the GOP's Big, Ugly Billionaires Budget adds trillions to the national debt due to their massive tax handouts to the ultra-wealthy. Tax cuts for billionaires. 16 million people lose their health insurance. Trillions added to the national debt.

CBO releases a “dynamic” score of the House-passed One Big Beautiful Bill Act, finding that it would add $2.77 trillion to the debt. That’s worse than the static score of $2.4 trillion in new debt. The reason? Economic growth revenue is outweighed by higher interest payments.

Great turnout at my town hall in Norfolk. We are talking about Trump’s Big, Ugly Billionaires Budget Bill and how it slashes health care, food assistance and Pell Grants to fund tax handouts for the wealthiest earners.

While we are still learning the facts behind this heinous act, we must reject all forms of political violence. The health and survival of our democracy depend on it.

I am shocked by the killing of State Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark, and the shooting of State Senator John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. My prayers are with the victims, their families and the state of Minnesota.

During this consequential time, it was great to check in with attorneys from across the Commonwealth this evening at the Virginia State Bar President’s Reception and Banquet

We should all be outraged. If the Trump Administration is willing to treat a sitting United States Senator who posed no threat to anyone like this, how will they treat everyone else?

Oops, 213 House Republicans just voted AGAIN to pass their “Big Ugly Bill," which: ❌Reduces or eliminates Pell Grants for 4 million students. ❌Rips access to free school meals away from up to 18.3 million children. ❌Kicks 16 million people off their health insurance.

Congressman Bobby Scott@bobbyscott.house.govJun 10(source)

The actions by the Trump Administration are incompatible with federal law, have increased incidents of violence, and are risking civilian lives.

Los Angeles Police Chief Jim McDonnell has said the arrival of military forces "presents a significant logistical and operational challenge for those of us tasked with safeguarding this city."

The American people have a constitutional right to peacefully assemble, and I unequivocally condemn all violence and destruction of property. However, President Trump has inflamed the situation in California.
