I was honored by the Keynote Speech last evening by colleague Rep. Jennifer McClellan and the establishment of the Congressman Bobby Scott and Joni Ivey Scholarships during the Newport News NAACP Gala. I am glad to know that these scholarships will help deserving students receive a college education

Yesterday, I visited with my friend and local artist Gerome Meminger at the Opening of “Liquid Commonwealth: The Art and Life of Water in Virginia”, an exhibit at the Muscarelle Museum of Art at the College of William and Mary

Yesterday was a great day for young people in Chesapeake with the Launch of the Boys and Girls Club of Southeastern Virginia Club Teen Center Renovation Project. The renovated facility will help young people stay on the right track with mentoring and career planning services

In FY23, I secured $3 million in community project funding through the federal appropriations process for the City of Chesapeake’s first public pool, to be constructed at the Cuffee Community Center. It was great to be at the groundbreaking today!

President Obama signed the Affordable Care Act into law in 2010. It has been 15 years and there is still no Republican health care plan.

This shutdown has been painful for many, especially Virginians. But this bill fails to address the Republican Health Care Crisis. And it fails to ensure the Trump Administration will spend money as Congress intended. I voted NO. My full statement: bobbyscott.house.gov/media-center...

Joining my House Democratic colleagues on the Capitol steps to rally against the spending bill’s failure to address the Republican Health Care Crisis and its failure to extend the Affordable Care Act’s enhanced premium tax credits.

Today, we honor all who served and reflect on the sacrifices of all veterans who dedicated their lives to serving our country.

I am currently hosting a Telephone Town Hall on the government shutdown and why I will vote NO on the deal in the Senate. Follow along at bobbyscott.house.gov/live

Speaker Pelosi will go down in history as one of our nation's most consequential legislative leaders. Thanks to her leadership, we passed the Affordable Care Act, the American Rescue Plan Act, and the Inflation Reduction Act. Her legacy will endure for generations. Thank you, Madam Speaker!

Today is Election Day in Virginia! Polls are open 6am - 7pm. Check your polling location and voter eligibility at Vote.Virginia.gov.

🚨Open enrollment for the ACA Marketplace opened on November 1st! Here is what you need to know about how your premiums may change before signing up for care. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

Earlier today I visited THRIVE Peninsula, a food pantry in Newport News. The Trump Administration must use the contingency funds available to fully fund SNAP benefits in November. Millions of Americans across the country rely on SNAP to put food on the table, including 824,000 Virginians.

Federal courts confirmed what we said from the start: the Trump administration was breaking the law when it suspended SNAP benefits for 42 million Americans. They have a $5 billion contingency fund and transfer authority. They simply refused to use it to feed hungry families.

Earlier today, I visited with TSA workers at Norfolk International Airport. TSA workers across the country have been incredibly strained during the government shutdown while they are asked to work without pay to keep Americans safe.

The Trump Administration’s plan to fire over half the employees in the Chesapeake Bay Office is a direct attack on the decades-long work to preserve the Bay. www.whro.org/environment/...

SNAP funding expires this week, leaving 824,000 Virginians at risk of going hungry. 🚨I led @bobbyscott.house.gov, @beyer.house.gov, @mcclellan.house.gov, @repsuhas.bsky.social, & @jameswalkinshaw.bsky.social in urging Attorney General Jason Miyares to join a multi-state suit to fund this program.

Donald Trump has ordered the Department of Agriculture to not use its reserve funds when SNAP dries up at the end of the month. Over 800,000 Virginians will go hungry in November because of this choice.

Today marks Day 28 of the government shutdown and Day 39 of the House Republicans' vacation. I am headed back to Washington and I am ready to vote to fund the government and protect health care.

Donald Trump promised to lower prices on "Day One." www.cnn.com/business/liv...

Donald Trump gets his lavish ballroom while federal workers are furloughed and forced to work without pay, and while Republicans refuse to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits for America’s working families.

Millions of Americans are going to see increased health care costs because Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans refuse to extend the Affordable Care Act's enhanced premium tax credits.

Premiums will more than double for 20 million Americans due to Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans’ failure to extend the Affordable Care Act’s enhanced premium tax credits.

With just days until SNAP benefits could run out, more than 62 percent of recipients are families with children.   Instead of funding the government to feed hungry kids, House Republicans are still on vacation.   Their shutdown is putting kids at risk. abcnews.go.com/Politics/sta...

Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans refuse to extend the Affordable Care Act's premium tax credits. Now working families are paying the price. Republicans need to get back to Washington and work with Democrats to fund the government and end their health care crisis.

Found Republicans’ to-do list.

I held a roundtable with experts, advocates, furloughed workers and others impacted by the government shutdown and the Republican health care crisis. House Republicans must end their vacation and negotiate with Democrats to fund the government and protect the health care of the American people.

The government shut down on October 1st. House Republicans have not held a single vote since September 19th. And they have extended their vacation and canceled votes for this coming week.

The government shut down on October 1st. House Republicans have been on vacation since September 19th. It’s time for them to get back to work so we can fund the government and protect the health care of the American people.

How did we get here (explained)

The federal government shut down on October 1st. House Republicans have been on vacation since September 19th. I’m back in DC, again, ready to fund the government and protect the health care of the American people.

I condemn these messages, as I have condemned all other violent and hateful messages. All officials, both Democrats and Republicans, must do the same.

In response to yet another GOP shutdown, @bobbyscott.house.gov & @repbonamici.bsky.social are introducing a bill to protect WIC benefits from partisan gridlock. The WIC Benefits Protection Act will guarantee mandatory funding so pregnant women & infants don’t lose access to healthy food and care.

Happy 250th Birthday to the United States Navy! ⚓️ 🇺🇸 Thank you to every Sailor for your service, courage and sacrifice.

Happy Indigenous Peoples’ Day! House Democrats celebrate the unique histories, cultures and achievements of our Native communities.

Today marks the first day that federal workers will experience a lapse in pay. Troops will begin missing pay next week. And House Republicans just extended their vacation.

Republicans created a health care crisis. If they allow the Affordable Care Act tax credits to expire, it would be the largest single-year price hike in history. Virginians cannot afford this.

Republicans control the White House, the Senate, and the House of Representatives and it is incumbent on them to govern responsibly. House Republicans need to end their vacation and work with Democrats to fund the government.

🚨Join me! 🗓️TONIGHT. 7pm. 📞Telephone Town Hall on the the Republicans' government shutdown Register here: bobbyscott.house.gov/live

🚨Ranking Member @bobbyscott.house.gov is calling for accountability. The Administration's use of government resources for partisan politics during the shutdown is unacceptable. He is demanding hearings to question agency leaders over the reported ethics violations. abcnews.go.com/Politics/dem...

Proud to stand with my Virginia colleagues against the White House’s bogus threat to deny furloughed federal workers back pay. The law is clear: back pay is guaranteed. Families can’t be used as pawns in Trump & Vought’s shutdown.

Today marks two years since Hamas’ barbaric attack on Israel. As we remember the victims and their families, we renew our call for a permanent ceasefire that ensures the release of the hostages and brings relief to civilians in Gaza.

Donald Trump signed the Government Employee Fair Treatment Act in 2019. The law is clear: furloughed workers are to receive backpay at the conclusion of a government shutdown.  Our federal workers provide invaluable services to the American people despite the Administration's contempt for them.

Nobody believes this. And House Republicans have been on vacation since September 19th.
