Scott Votes to Prevent Musk-Trump-MAGA Government Shutdown

WASHINGTON, D.C. –Congressman Bobby Scott (VA-03) issued the following statement: “I voted to prevent a costly Musk-Trump-MAGA shutdown that would have damaged our economy and furloughed thousands of ...

All of this confusion costs the taxpayers money. Federal agencies now have to divert resources to prepare for a Musk-Trump-MAGA shutdown instead of the work they need to be doing for the American people.

House Republicans have been ordered to shut down the government. And hurt the working class Americans they claim to support. You break the bipartisan agreement, you own the consequences that follow.

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

I have always fought to advance policies that protect workers' rights, ensure access to high-quality education, and expand health care for all Americans. Next Congress, my fight will be the same. Looking forward to continuing my service as Ranking Member of @edworkforcedems.bsky.social.

RM Scott on re-election to serve as Ranking Member of the 119th Congress: “Regardless of which political party is in charge, my mission is unchanged: building an America where everyone can succeed.”

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

Americans need a workforce development system that works for them and their families. That's why I fought for the bipartisan, bicameral A Stronger Workforce for America Act to be included in the funding deal. Americans need this passed ASAP. democrats-edworkforce.house.gov/media/press-...

Mark your calendars for October 1, 2025! Today, President Biden signed the FAFSA Deadline Act into law, ensuring the FAFSA form will be released on this date every year. This gives students more time to access the financial aid they need to make college more affordable! tinyurl.com/5h83bwmx

Proud to have served with Rep. Tony Cárdenas. He has been a tireless advocate for Californians. We worked together for a long time, even before he was in Congress, on juvenile justice reform. I will miss having him in the People’s House.

As we move forward, it is incumbent on Congressional Republicans and the incoming Trump Administration to ensure future NDAAs prioritize national security and servicemembers, not culture wars.

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

However, I am disappointed that Speaker Mike Johnson and extreme MAGA Republicans included a reprehensible provision that would prohibit medical intervention for military dependents under the age of 18 who are diagnosed with gender dysphoria.

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

Many culture war provisions included in the original House-passed version of this year’s NDAA were ultimately rejected such as provisions attacking reproductive health care, demeaning LGBTQ servicemembers and undermining efforts to have a diverse fighting force.

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

The FY25 NDAA includes pay raises for servicemembers along with provisions focused on health care, housing, childcare, military spousal support, and civilian workforce benefits. It also provides support for shipbuilding and includes investments strengthen research at HBCUs.

Waterways in Hampton Roads support economic opportunities for Virginia. As we grapple w/ sea level rise & more frequent flooding, we must find innovative ways to protect our communities. Passing the Water Resources Development Act today supports that work by investing in water infrastructure.
