Trump claims he made a bunch of deals with Big Pharma to lower drug prices. Now he is asking Congress to codify these deals. There is only one problem. They refuse to tell Congress exactly what is in these deals. Democrats are not going to rubber stamp Trump's shady drug deals.

This heartbreaking situation is a painful reminder that mental health challenges and personal crises, when left unaddressed, can have devastating and irreparable consequences. Seeking help must be encouraged, supported, and free of stigma.

I am shocked and saddened by this senseless and horrific tragedy. I am praying for the entire Fairfax family and their loved ones, most especially Justin and Cerina’s children.

I confronted Trump’s OMB Director about the Big Ugly Bill adding $4T to the deficit. I also asked him if the Trump Administration intended to leave a better budget deficit than the one they inherited from the Biden Administration. His response (or lack thereof) is telling.

Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans promised to lower costs on day one. The Trump Tariffs, the Big Ugly Bill, and Trump’s reckless war in Iran have driven up prices and spiked inflation.

Inflation accelerated to 3.3% in March, the hottest reading in two years.

Glad to see Virginia taking action. Raising the minimum wage is good for workers, good for business, and good for the economy. www.wtkr.com/news/politic...

Trump Revels in Threats to Commit War Crimes in Iran

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

The Joint Chiefs and all military personnel must be aware they can be held accountable long into the future for war crimes that are committed in the present. More information can be found here: www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Trump threats against civilian targets put military in legal, moral quandary

President Donald Trump said the United States would target “every” Iranian bridge and power plant. Experts say such blanket action violates international law.

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

The president has engaged in activities that experts are describing as war crimes in Iran and other parts of the world over the past few months. Republicans in Congress have refused to rein him in, and earlier today he threatened to obliterate the Iranian people. Genocide is a war crime.
