Today marks two years since the October 7 Hamas terrorist attack on Israel. We mourn the victims, continue to call for the release of all the hostages, and demand a surge of humanitarian aid to Gaza as we call for a sustainable peace.

I had a fascinating briefing and tour of Curtiss-Wright Arresting Systems in Aston, to learn more about the critical work they do for our military and allies - including manufacturing the arresting systems that allow planes to land on aircraft carriers. Right here in Delco!

I enjoyed speaking with Swarthmore College political science students about the need for all of us to be civically engaged as our country faces unique threats to constitutional norms and the rule of law. (They also asked when House Republicans will release the Epstein Files.)

She needs the ACA tax credits, which Republicans are allowing to expire. I'm fighting to keep healthcare affordable for millions of Americans.

Constituents are calling my office about rising healthcare costs. I spoke with a woman in her 60s who received a notice that her healthcare costs will increase from $1,000 to $1,800 a month.

BLS has always released the jobs report during government shutdowns. Has the White House blocked it now because the numbers are so bad - again? www.wsj.com/economy/jobs...

The Trump Administration has attempted to use the powers of the federal government to suppress criticism and attack the First Amendment rights of Americans. I joined a Senate Spotlight hearing to examine how the FCC's effort to suppress free speech in the media harms all Americans:

Scanlon Joins Senate Spotlight Forum on Trump Administration’s Attacks on the First Amendment

Hearing follows months of the Trump Administration’s abuse of FCC regulatory authorities and attempts to control the free press—including efforts to censor Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, and others.

Yom Kippur is a time for meaningful reflection. G'mar Chatima Tova to everyone observing the holiday in PA-05.

Washington, D.C. – Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon (PA-05) today released the following statement after President Trump and House Republicans shut down the government instead of working with Democrats to protect Americans’ health care.
