In today's cost-of-living crisis, unions are more critical than ever to help workers earn higher pay and secure better benefits. Last week, AFSCME President Patrick Moran and I met to discuss how Congress can empower unions so that workers can have a voice on the job.

The Trump Admin claims it wants to hand education back to the states but this rule would give the already gutted Dept. of Ed MORE power over school grants, weakens protections for underserved students, & lets them cut funding for no reason at all @bobbyscott.house.gov says: "withdraw it."

Congressman Bobby Scott@bobbyscott.house.gov1d ago(source)

But Trump’s policies are making college harder to afford. I’ve introduced legislation to double Pell Grants and to lower borrowing costs, so all students can have the opportunity to attend college, not just the privileged few.

Robert C. "Bobby" Scott@bobbyscott.house.gov1d ago(source)

When we reformed FAFSA, we made it easier to apply & expanded Pell Grant eligibility.

Scott: Congress Should Support Ukraine Without Expanding Trump’s Tariff Powers

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Bobby Scott (VA-03) issued the following statement after voting against the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act: “I strongly support Ukraine and efforts to...

Robert C. "Bobby" Scott@bobbyscott.house.govSep 17(source)

I strongly support Ukraine and efforts to hold Vladimir Putin accountable for his brutal war. But I cannot support legislation that uses support for Ukraine as leverage to give Donald Trump even more authority to impose his reckless tariffs and trade wars that raise prices on American families.

The House just passed the Science of Reading Act. Championed by Ranking Member @bobbyscott.house.gov and @congressmannion.bsky.social, this bill puts decades of research on how kids learn to read—phonics, fluency, & comprehension—into action and ensures federal literacy dollars follow the evidence.

When families need Head Start most, the Trump Administration is trying to rip it away. Americans deserve better. This morning, I joined advocates from @nwlc.org to rally to strengthen Head Start and make child care accessible for all.

The Trump administration is waging war on public education. Not on our watch. Today, I stood with AFGE, AFT, and NEA and the educators, staff, and students they serve. We are fighting to ensure every student can access a quality public education.

I joined Norfolk International Airport’s tribute to those we lost 25 years ago on September 11, 2001, and to the police officers, firefighters and other first responders who answered the call to serve at the World Trade Center and Pentagon in the aftermath of the attacks. We will never forget.

I thank Secretary Bunch for his decades of service and his commitment to truth. The Smithsonian must remain independent and free from partisan interference.

Congressman Bobby Scott@bobbyscott.house.govSep 10(source)

His retirement comes as President Trump continues his efforts to whitewash history and pressure the Smithsonian to conform to his preferred version of the past. We cannot learn from our history by pretending the most painful chapters never happened.

Robert C. "Bobby" Scott@bobbyscott.house.govSep 10(source)

Secretary Bunch dedicated his career to ensuring the Smithsonian tells the full story of our nation. His leadership as the founding director of the National Museum of African American History & Culture ensured that the African American experience is recognized as an essential part of America’s story
