🚨 BREAKING: Oversight Dems have received never-before-seen photos and videos of Jeffrey Epstein's private island that are a harrowing look behind Epstein’s closed doors. See for yourself. We won’t stop fighting until we end this cover-up and deliver justice for the survivors.

Is anyone surprised that Trump's trade wars and chaotic leadership have led to an economic downturn? thehill.com/business/563...

Don't be fooled. Republicans have worked to help corporations and the ultra wealthy avoid paying their fair share for decades.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govDec 3(source)

Trickle-down economics has never worked. The ultra-rich get richer from Republican tax cuts, while the majority of Americans are paying the price.

Secretary Hegseth is clearly blowing smoke about the "fog of war." He's way out of his depth.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth points to what he calls “the fog of war” to defend a follow-up military strike on an alleged drug boat in the Caribbean, which reportedly killed survivors of the initial attack.

I don't understand why the White House is determined to starve American families, do you?

The Trump administration plans to block Democratic-controlled states from accessing billions of dollars they need to run their food stamp programs unless governors turn over benefits rolls to federal officials.

We need to get rid of dark money in politics. “In 2000, the 100 richest Americans donated about .25% of the total cost of federal elections. By 2024, it was 7.5%.” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/int...

How billionaires took over American politics

The current concentration of wealth is unlike anything in history. So is billionaires’ involvement in politics.

Because of Republican inaction, millions of Americans are going to see their health insurance skyrocket. Millions more will probably just go without healthcare. So what are Republicans doing about it? NOT A DAMN THING!

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govDec 2(source)

You mean the bill stripping Medicaid and SNAP from millions of Americans, closing rural hospitals, and undermining school lunch programs? We are talking about it. It's only a blessing for billionaires.

"Peace through business" negates the most important aspect of a peace deal: the long-term security of Ukraine from further Russian aggression. The people negotiating on behalf of the U.S. government must work towards a lasting, diplomatic peace, not one that enriches its negotiators.

Student athletes deserve to be treated fairly, and the SCORE Act doesn't do that.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govDec 1(source)

The NCAA, powerful athletic conferences, colleges and universities, broadcasters, and advertisers have all made massive profits by exploiting uncompensated college athletes. This money grab is at the expense of consumers and student-athletes.

Instead, the Trump White House has dramatically cut federal funding, threatening to disrupt hard-earned progress and raising fears of a resurgence of this formerly fatal disease.

On World AIDS Day, we mourn the lives lost in the fight against HIV and AIDS. The U.S. has long led the fight to expand access to prevention, treatment, and care and end the stigma of AIDS.

U.S., Trump administration won't commemorate World AIDS Day this year

The U.S. will not commemorate World AIDS Day this year. This action, along with recent federal funding cuts, could contribute to a resurgence of HIV/AIDS.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govDec 1(source)

Yes. The answer is yes.

As evidence grows that at least some Caribbean boat strikes were illegal (whether war crimes or murder), Congress must hold this administration accountable.

Former US military lawyers speak out: "The Former JAGs Working Group unanimously considers both the giving and the execution of these orders, if true, to constitute war crimes, murder, or both." Statement on Media Reports of Pentagon “No Quarter” Orders in Caribbean Boat Strikes 1/2

• If the U.S. military operation to interdict and destroy suspected narcotraFicking vessels is a “non-international armed conflict,” as the Trump Administration suggests, orders to “kill everybody,” which can reasonably be regarded as an order to give “no quarter,” and
to “double-tap” a target in order to kill survivors, are clearly illegal under international law. In short, they are war crimes.
• If the U.S. military operation is not an armed conflict of any kind, these orders to kill helpless civilians clinging to the wreckage of a vessel our military destroyed would subject everyone from SECDEF down to the individual who pulled the trigger to prosecution under U.S. law for murder.

Highlighted sentence at the end of the document reads:

Again, the bottom line is that, since orders to kill survivors of an attack at sea are “patently illegal,” anyone who issues or follows such orders can and should be prosecuted for war crimes, murder, or both.

The death of Specialist Sarah Beckstrom of the West Virginia National Guard is a devastating loss for our country. My heart is with her loved ones as they face this unfathomable tragedy, and I’m praying for the full recovery of Staff Sergeant Andrew Wolfe. Such violence cannot be normalized.

I hope everyone in PA-05 has a Happy Thanksgiving with their loved ones!
