Congratulations to my friend, Versability Resources CEO Kasia Grzelkowski for receiving the Virginia Peninsula Chamber of Commerce First Citizen Award. She is such a worthy recipient because of her advocacy for people with disabilities and her commitment to this community

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."

Just one of his countless lies tonight.

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.

I invited Rena Bumbray-Graves to by my guest to Donald Trump’s State of the Union address tonight. She is a home care worker and member of SEIU Virginia 512 who lost her health insurance due to Republicans’ refusal to extend the Affordable Care Act premium tax credits.

Congressman Bobby Scott@bobbyscott.house.govFeb 24(source)

Donald Trump often has a strained relationship with facts and the truth, and that is especially true during his State of the Union addresses. I have no doubt Governor Spanberger will level with the American people and make Virginians proud.

Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger will deliver Democrats' response on Tuesday following President Trump's State of the Union address. n.pr/3MRJBiu

On my way back to Washington, DC. Donald Trump is delivering his State of the Union address tomorrow night, but we already know that he has failed to focus on the needs of the American people.

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

Costs are up and the economy is slowing down. Donald Trump’s economic policies are failing American families. abcnews.com/Business/us-...

US economy slowed more than expected at end of 2025

A fresh reading of GDP arrived amid elevated inflation and sluggish hiring.

Thank you to President Charles Spivey and members of United Steelworkers Local 8888 for allowing me to give remarks during your Black History Month Program

Lunar New Year is an opportunity to appreciate our region’s diversity. I was thankful to celebrate the Year of the Horse this afternoon with elected officials and members of the Peninsula Chinese American Association

Enjoyed the Keynote Remarks from the Rev. Dr. Kevin Swann during the 28th Annual Aberdeen Gardens Historic and Civic Association Black History Month Breakfast

I had a wonderful time celebrating Lunar New Year this evening with members of the Norfolk Sister Cities Association Ningbo, China Committee

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

I was happy to join community leaders and partners of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Southeast Virginia at the Youth of the Year Awards, where some of our outstanding teens were celebrated for their contributions and hard work

Congressman Bobby Scott@bobbyscott.house.govFeb 20(source)

Earlier today I visited Exotic Nutrition and Ironclad Distillery Co. Both of these small businesses in Newport News have been hurt by the Trump Tariffs. American small businesses and families cannot afford Donald Trump’s chaotic and reckless tariffs.

Congressman Bobby Scott@bobbyscott.house.govFeb 20(source)

Thankfully, the Supreme Court correctly concluded that the Trump tariffs are unlawful. It is time for the White House and Congressional Republicans to reverse course on their failed economic policies and stop worsening the affordability crisis.
