I was honored to cut the ribbon today for the renovated Boys and Girls Club Greater Hampton Roads Unit. The $850,000 in federal community project funding I secured helped the club make improvements to support programs for the 200 young people who visit the location each week.

Expanding Pell Grants to short-term, career-focused programs will give Virginians new opportunities in tech, healthcare, and skilled trades. By prioritizing strong partnerships and program quality, we can build a workforce ready to meet growing demand. www.pilotonline.com/2026/03/07/c...

Donald Trump initiated a reckless war of choice with Iran, but that does not mean Congress must continue funding ICE without meaningful reforms, especially after ICE agents have terrorized communities, violated the Constitution, and killed American citizens.

Republicans invoked the war in Iran and the prospect of retaliatory terrorist attacks as they made another unsuccessful effort Thursday to pass a bill funding the Department of Homeland Security. https://to.pbs.org/4l8Tyoq

The war is quickly expanding, and it risks destabilizing the entire region. It is putting many more troops and civilian lives in danger. By illegally launching this war, President Trump has made us less safe.

Congressman Bobby Scott@bobbyscott.house.govMar 5(source)

I voted against President Trump’s reckless and illegal war in Iran. We have already lost American troops, and many others are injured. In their briefing to Congress this week, the Trump Administration could not articulate any credible rationale for the war nor a plan to bring it to an end.

The Trump Administration is allegedly not enforcing a rule that requires coal operators to contribute their fair share to the Black Lung Disability Trust Fund. This rule protects miners and taxpayers. www.safetyandhealthmagazine.com/lawmakers-pu...

Lawmakers push DOL for ‘fully responsive’ answers to questions about black lung benefits - Safety+Health Magazine

They’re asking: It is true the agency has told mine operators it won’t enforce a recent rule?

Gov. Abigail Spanberger: "The scale of the corruption is unprecedented. There's the cover up of the Epstein files, the crypto scams, cozying up to foreign princes for airplanes and billionaires for ballrooms, putting his name and face on buildings all over our nation's capital."

President Trump presented the job market as robust during his State of the Union address, saying that more Americans are working today than at any time in the country’s history. The job market actually weakened last year as companies slowed hiring.

In their One Big Ugly Bill, President Trump and Congressional Republicans slashed health care while giving ICE a $75 billion slush fund being used to terrorize communities.

Congressman Bobby Scott@bobbyscott.house.govFeb 25(source)

President Trump has a strained relationship with facts and the truth. 10 million Americans are losing their Medicaid as a result of the largest cut to Medicaid in American history under Donald Trump's One Big Ugly Bill.
