@reptedlieu.bsky.social on today’s Democratic Daily Download. Texting top secret war plans is a serious breach of national security protocol. We’re calling on Republicans to join Democrats in opening investigations to get to the bottom of this misconduct.

It is almost as if firing half the Department was a bad idea…

A week after cutting half its staff, the Education Department reversed course and asked dozens of laid off workers to come back. It's one of many details staff shared with me about a "chaotic" process they say has paralyzed what's left of the department. www.insidehighered.com/news/governm...

This is an unacceptable and dangerous breach of national security intelligence by top members of the Trump Administration. There must be accountability for this shocking lack of judgement as well as an investigation into any potential criminal violations. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/24/u...

Hegseth Disclosed Secret War Plans in Group Chat With Atlantic Journalist

The conversation among the defense secretary and other national security officials on a commercial messaging app mistakenly included the editor in chief of The Atlantic, Jeffrey Goldberg.

BREAKING update - Dems fighting back against Trump’s dismantling of public education. More on today’s Democratic Daily Download ⬇️

Congressman Bobby Scott@bobbyscott.house.govMar 23(source)

15 years ago, Democrats transformed health care when President Obama signed the Affordable Care Act. And we built on that progress. We secured Medicare Rx price negotiations, capped insulin costs & lowered premiums. Now more people are covered than ever—and at a lower cost.

The Department of Education was created by an act of Congress. We will not let it be dismantled by a wannabe King.

Congressman Bobby Scott@bobbyscott.house.govMar 21(source)

President Trump’s decision has little regard for the irreparable harm it will cause to students, educators, and parents. I am leading @democrats-edworkforce.house.gov in demanding transparency. If Republicans on the Committee do not respond, we will take this to the House floor.

🚨 Trump’s decision to dismantle the Department of Ed will hurt students nationwide. Committee Democrats are demanding full transparency, if the committee fails to act, Democrats are prepared to bring this issue to the House floor for a vote! democrats-edworkforce.house.gov/media/press-...

Thanks to Senator Mamie Locke for inviting me to be her Special Guest at her Town Hall this evening, where we discussed the latest updates on local, state and federal government issues

President Trump's executive order to dismantle the Dept of Education will be used to distract Americans from the fact that Republicans are not working to address the real problems facing students and families: widening academic achievement gaps, school shootings, and the burden of student loans.

This evening, I had the pleasure of attending the Kickoff of the Brock Climate Lecture Series at Norfolk’s Slover Library The program speaker, Senator Tim Kaine, gave important remarks about climate change and how Congress can work to keep our community safe and prosperous

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

I toured the Fairwinds Landing maritime operations and logistics facility in Norfolk with @kaine.senate.gov. We received an update on the region’s offshore wind projects and discussed the need to continue supporting Virginia’s growing offshore wind industry.

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

Joined @kaine.senate.gov for a tour of the new VA outpatient clinic in Chesapeake set to open next month. However, Donald Trump and Elon Musk are putting this facility’s ability to fully serve veterans at risk with DOGE’s hiring freeze and mass firing of VA employees.

Congressman Bobby Scott@bobbyscott.house.govMar 18(source)

Donald Trump and Republicans want to cut Medicaid to fund tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy. Medicaid provides health coverage to 1.4 million people in Virginia. I held a roundtable with doctors and beneficiaries to discuss how we must protect access to health care and save Medicaid.

Congressman Bobby Scott@bobbyscott.house.govMar 17(source)

This is another unconscionable attack on our federal workforce. It’s also right out of the Project 2025 playbook — de-unionization and then privatization. I oppose both and stand with our TSA workers.

Congressman Bobby Scott@bobbyscott.house.govMar 17(source)

Met with AFGE Local 448 President Scott Robinson and union officials this afternoon to discuss the impact of the Trump Administration cancelling their collective bargaining agreement for the TSA. TSA Officers are on the frontlines of protecting our commercial airspace.

He was powerful advocate for universal education and child nutrition, and he also pushed to expand funding to support English as a Second Language (ESL) programs and students with disabilities. I send my deepest condolences to his family, staff and everyone impacted by his loss.

Congressman Bobby Scott@bobbyscott.house.govMar 13(source)

In addition to being a proficient and talented doodler, he was a champion for his constituents and environmental justice for all. He was a fierce defender of unions and civil rights in the workplace.

Congressman Bobby Scott@bobbyscott.house.govMar 13(source)

I was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of my friend and colleague, Raul Grijalva. We sat next to each other for many years on the Committee on Education & Workforce, and I could always rely on him for a sense of optimism and humor while in the midst of some of the toughest legislative fights.

Congressman Bobby Scott@bobbyscott.house.govMar 13(source)

If there is a government shutdown, it will be the responsibility of Republicans who control the White House and both chambers of Congress. It will be a direct result of their refusal to work with Democrats on a bipartisan funding package to meet the needs of our nation.
