Mary Gay Scanlon

Mary Gay Scanlon is an American attorney and politician. A member of the Democratic Party, she has represented Pennsylvania's 5th congressional district in the United States House of Representatives since 2019. The district is based in Delaware County, a mostly suburban county west of Philadelphia, and also includes a southwestern portion of Philadelphia itself as well as slivers of Chester and Montgomery counties. Scanlon spent the final two months of 2018 as the member for Pennsylvania's 7th congressional district. She was elected to both positions on November 6, 2018. That day, she ran in a special election in the old 7th to serve out the term of her predecessor, Pat Meehan, and in a regular election for a full…

By repealing the EPA regulation that underpins all US regulation of greenhouse gases, the Trump administration is sacrificing our global climate so that fossil fuel companies can make even greater profits. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...
The end of ICE's reign of terror is long overdue. Both the trauma and death that this administration has inflicted on American communities are inexcusable. The people of Minnesota deserve our gratitude for standing up for their neighbors, human rights, and the rule of law.
Breaking News: The Trump administration repealed the bedrock scientific finding that greenhouse gases threaten human life and well being, meaning that the EPA can no longer regulate them. nyti.ms/4rSszQu
Republicans in Congress gutted Medicaid last summer. The Senate has the opportunity to pass the House's 3-year extension of the ACA tax credits and lower healthcare costs for American families.
2 out of 3 Americans are worried about paying for health care. A majority of the public also says they expect health care costs for them and their families to become even less affordable in the coming year. www.kff.org/public-opini...
75% of Pennsylvanians don't have a Real ID, and 50% don't have a passport. If the SAVE America Act passes, they wouldn't be able to vote THIS November. Any member of Congress from Pennsylvania who votes yes is voting against the interests of their constituents.
REP. SCANLON: “Will you commit to provide this committee with your list of entities that you recommend be designated as domestic terrorist organizations?” BONDI: “I’m not going to commit to anything to you because you won’t let me answer questions.”
Using your First Amendment rights to speak out against this administration is not illegal. If you're being listed as a domestic terrorist by the Trump administration for doing so, you deserve to know.
SCANLON: Can we assume the DOJ has prepared that list of groups that are designated as 'domestic terrorist organizations'? BONDI: I'm not going to answer it yes or no, but I know antifa is part of it S: Will you commit to providing this committee with the list? BONDI: I won't commit to anything
Pam Bondi can hurl as many insults as she wants at members of Congress, but I'll keep standing up for the American people. Using your First Amendment rights to speak out against the Trump administration’s lawlessness does NOT make you a domestic terrorist.
Mary Gay Scanlon: We get it. You don't want to answer the question. Pam Bondi: You don't get anything regarding public safety. Nothing. Scanlon: Thank you for the insult. It's clear you didn't come to Congress prepared to answer questions that the American people have every right to have answered.
Note at the end of this interaction: Bondi refused to face the survivors and apologize.
Jayapal asks Epstein survivors in hearing room to stand and raise hands if they still haven't been able to meet with Bondi's DOJ. Every single one of them doe. Jayapal then gives Bondi an opportunity to apologize. She responds by trying to attack Jayapal and Merrick Garland but doesn't apologize.
American households are paying $1,000 more on average because of tariffs. Speaker Johnson should stop blocking the House from voting to repeal the Trump tariffs so we can lower costs for American families.
Trump: "So I put on a 30% tariff, which is very low. I got an emergency call from I believe the prime minister of Switzerland. She was very aggressive ... I didn't really like the way she talked to us, so instead of giving her a reduction, I raised it to 39%."
The Save America Act would make it harder for most Americans to register to vote or vote. It is already illegal for non-citizens to vote & the penalties for violating the law are severe. This bill would burden eligible Americans to provide various documents of citizenship, disenfranchising them.
In private, @houserepublicans.bsky.social acknowledge that tariffs have been a disaster for Americans. But when Speaker Johnson blocks a vote to reverse the tariffs and the President brags about them, they refuse to stand up for lower costs for Americans.
The costs of rent, groceries, energy, and healthcare are all up, but @houserepublicans.bsky.social aren't standing up for working families. They only stand up when billionaires, polluters, or their donors need a tax break.
@houserepublicans.bsky.social are proposing a bill that would make it easier for criminals to purchase tasers. After defunding local police departments and community safety programs last year, they're pushing policies that would make our communities more dangerous.
