House Democrats took our fight against President Trump’s unlawful and chaotic on-again, off-again tariffs to court. Yesterday, we won. litigationandresponse.house.gov/news/press-r...

A specialized federal court in New York ruled that most of President Trump’s tariffs — including those on Chinese goods — are illegal, upending negotiations with more than a dozen nations and creating fresh uncertainty for countless American businesses.

I was saddened to learn of the passing of my former colleague and friend Charlie Rangel, a founding member of the Congressional Black Caucus. A veteran, public servant, trailblazer and fierce advocate for justice. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and loved ones.

Harvard has taken a stand against the Administration's overreach and now the Administration is seeking retribution. Students are not political pawns. I agree with the Court's decision: blocking foreign students from enrolling would cause "immediate and irreparable injury.”

Dear America, While you were sleeping, House Republicans voted to: ❌Reduce or eliminate Pell Grants for 4 million students ❌Rip access to free school meals away from up to 18.3 million children ❌Kick at least 13.7 million people off their health insurance. Oh...and it does not reduce the deficit.

I was disturbed to learn of the murder of two Israeli embassy staff last night. My thoughts are with their families. We all have a duty to address rising antisemitism and root out hate and violence.

Two Israeli Embassy staff members were fatally shot in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday night outside an event at the Capital Jewish Museum, officials said. The suspect was detained shortly after the shooting. Follow live updates. nyti.ms/3SOu1ne

A headline reads: "2 Israeli Embassy Staffers Killed in D.C. Shooting near Jewish Museum." An aerial image shows the Capital Jewish Museum, with the approximate location of the shooting circled and an arrow pointing to the north entrance where the suspect was arrested.

Republicans are trying to take health care away from almost 14 million Americans in the dead of night. I reminded them to their faces just how many of their constituents they're screwing over so billionaires can get trillions in tax cuts.

This bill forces nearly 14 million people off their health care and takes away food assistance from millions of others. My full statement below. bobbyscott.house.gov/media-center...

Congressman Bobby Scott@bobbyscott.house.govMay 22(source)

I just voted NO on House Republicans' Big, Bad Billionaires' Bill. It will add $3.8 trillion to the national debt in order to shovel massive tax breaks to billionaires and corporations. And they will make America’s middle class and working families pay the price.
