By placing loyalty to Trump above allegiance to the Constitution, the Speaker threatens the independence of the judicial branch and the foundations of our constitutional order.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govJan 21(source)

Perhaps the Speaker needs to go back to law school. Ruling against a president - any president - is not an impeachable offense. It is the responsibility of each branch to protect and defend the Constitution.

‘I’m for it’: Johnson endorses impeachment for judges who rule against Trump

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govJan 21(source)

Pennsylvanians spent $1,734 more this past year because of the Trump Administration's reckless economic policies. Instead of making American families pay for Blanket Tariffs and Billionaire Tax Cuts, the Republican majority should focus on lowering their costs.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govJan 21(source)

I cannot support a bill giving funds to DHS that doesn't rein in masked ICE agents who are terrorizing our communities, tear-gassing babies, going door to door, raiding homes without a warrant, and holding American citizens, even children, at gunpoint.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govJan 21(source)

More than 30 people have died in DHS custody over the last year. Last weekend, it was one of my constituents. He developed a medical issue and, by all reports other than the DHS official report, was denied medical care that might have saved his life.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govJan 21(source)

The people should decide elections, and our government should work for all Americans, not just large corporations and the top 1%.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govJan 21(source)

The Citizens United v. FEC decision came out 16 years ago. I introduced the Democracy for All Amendment to reverse Citizens United because billionaires and big businesses have dumped billions of dollars into our elections to buy influence in our government.

Congressional Republicans and the White House cut funding for clean energy projects nationwide. A diversified energy grid makes energy more affordable for all Americans.

Many crisis pregnancy centers have abused public dollars by promoting an anti-abortion agenda instead of providing food, diapers, and support for pregnant women and families.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govJan 20(source)

Pregnant and parenting students need practical resources while pursuing their education, not government-mandated propaganda and a bill that would do nothing to protect their civil rights after this administration gutted the Department of Education last year.

The White House is blocking congressional oversight of immigrant detention centers, amidst horrific reports of cruel treatment of detainees, denial of access to counsel and medical care, and extended periods of detention for people with no criminal records. We must pass this bill.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govJan 20(source)

I have co-sponsored the Dignity for Detained Immigrants Act because we must end inhumane conditions in detention centers and protect the civil and human rights of immigrants.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govJan 20(source)

The number of deaths and documented instances of harsh and inhumane conditions in U.S. immigration detention centers are exploding under this administration, as billions of taxpayer dollars are funneled into for-profit prison companies.

The President considers the tariffs raising costs for Americans his "SIGNATURE economic policy?" Good to know.

Bessent on tariffs: "I think it's very unlikely that the Supreme Court is going to strike down a president's signature economic policy. It didn't with the ACA, also known as Obamacare."

People should choose who represents them, not billionaires and corporations. That's why I introduced my Democracy for All Amendment to overturn Citizens United and put power back in the hands of the people - where it belongs. scanlon.house.gov/news/documen...

SCOOP: Elon Musk has cut a massive $10 million check to bolster an outsider, pro-Trump candidate running to succeed Sen. Mitch McConnell. The stunning gift is the biggest sign yet that Musk plans to spend big in the 2026 midterms.

This doesn't look like winning to me.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govJan 20(source)

A year ago, the President promised us the "Golden Age." Today, our economy is in crisis as stocks tumble and prices skyrocket. The President's reckless tariffs and impulsive foreign policy are not helping Americans.

Stocks fell in early trading Tuesday as renewed trade tensions spilled into global markets after President Trump threatened to impose new tariffs on countries opposing the sale of Greenland to the U.S.

It was great to join Prospect Park Fire Company’s Food Drive alongside community members uplifting each other by donating much-needed food and essential items, as this administration makes it more difficult for Pennsylvanians to afford groceries and necessities.
