A Conversation with Congressman Bobby Scott

The 47th president of the United States was sworn in on January 20, 2025 and immediately began issuing executive orders that have left this country reeling. From the firing of thousands of federal workers, to the ending of all federal diversity, equity and inclusion efforts, to allowing a non-elected person to have access to sensitive data about Americans, to putting into motion the ending of the Department of Education, the Trump administration has touched just about every aspect of American life. Yet outside of the wringing of hands and exasperation of elected officials, nothing seems to be happening to stop the carnage. The question is "why"? We ask that question of Congressman Bobby Scott, who represents Virginia's third congressional district and serves as the Ranking Member of the Committee on Education and Workforce.
