In the wide ranging discussion, I shared my views on several topics that were relevant to the largely student audience, including my no vote on the reckless war in Iran, making concrete reforms to ICE and ensuring that higher education is more accessible, affordable and fair

This afternoon on the campus of CNU, I had the pleasure of participating in a Conversation with the Honorable William C. Mims, a former member of the Virginia General Assembly, former Virginia Supreme Court Justice and presently the Pre-Law Program Director at CNU

16 years ago, President Obama signed the Affordable Care Act. Millions gained coverage, and people with pre-existing conditions are now protected. I held a roundtable on the GOP’s Big, Ugly Bill and their refusal to extend ACA tax credits. Virginians need healthcare, not warfare.

Donald Trump is making it clear that he is the one preventing TSA from being funded, and is responsible for TSA workers being forced to work without pay.

Trump now suggests Republicans refuse “any deal” to reopen DHS unless Dems help pass SAVE America Act (never going to happen). He wants it all in one bill (also not in the cards). He tells Rs to “kill the filibuster” (they don’t have the votes; otherwise both would pass easily).

Last evening, I attended the ForKids Annual Art event, which generated proceeds to support their mission of providing emergency shelter, housing assistance and rehousing services to families in the Hampton Roads region

Joining my House Democratic colleagues on the House steps. Congress must pass legislation to fund TSA, FEMA, and all of the DHS except ICE and the Trump deportation machine. We fund these other agencies as we negotiate reforms to rein in ICE. www.youtube.com/live/LLkYcRZ...

When workers come together to bargain, they earn higher wages, better benefits and safer workplaces. And veterans benefit from a VA staffed by workers who are well-compensated, properly trained and who work in a safe environment

While we are still gathering the facts of the situation, my thoughts are with the victims and their families. Everyone should feel safe in their communities and students should feel safe on campus. We must do everything we can to prevent these all-too-common tragedies of gun violence.

Congressman Bobby Scott@bobbyscott.house.govMar 12(source)

I was horrified to learn of the violent tragedy that occurred at Old Dominion University this morning. I am thankful for the first responders who were able to neutralize the shooter before they could perpetrate any further violence.
