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.

Our schools should be focusing on teaching our kids, not dealing with more unnecessary bureaucracy.

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!

There can be no excuse for the senseless violence against two national guardsmen in our nation's Capitol. Our hearts go out to these soldiers and their loved ones.

Fear is contagious, but so is courage. I remain steadfast in my oath to the Constitution and am grateful to those across the nation who stand with us. Don't give up the ship.

Pennsylvanians are paying $733 more this year because of the Trump administration’s disastrous economic policies. The President needs to end the blanket tariffs and work for Americans not billionaires.

Trump cuts more tariffs with eye toward grocery prices

The White House already slashed tariffs on other global food imports last week as it works to lower grocery prices.

Ukraine would cede territory to Russia in draft of Trump peace plan obtained by AP

President Donald Trump’s plan for ending the war in Ukraine would cede territory to Russia and limit the size of Kyiv’s military, according to a draft proposal obtained by The Associated Press.

That's why I introduced the Democracy for All Amendment, which would amend the Constitution to establish common sense campaign finance rules and allow the American people to take back our elections from billionaires and corporations. 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.

Elections shouldn't be determined by money; they should be determined by "we the people."
