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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs and trade wars have been chaotic and reckless, raising costs for small businesses and adding roughly $1,700 to American families’ expenses since he took office. That is why I have opposed these tariffs and voted just last week to strike down the tariffs on Canada.

Tidewater Community College will now play a vital role in our community by receiving federal and state funds to train workers for high-skill careers with good wages and benefits.

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

Attended Tidewater Community College’s launch of Sponsored State Registered Apprenticeship programs. Registered Apprenticeships help people learn in-demand skills, earn wages that grow along with those skills, and receive nationally recognized credentials that lead to rewarding careers.
