The House passed the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act 4 years ago. Now more than ever, we need to pass this bill to ensure that every American retains the right to vote.

The NIH funds life-saving research to cure cancer and protect Americans’ health; cutting its funding will be devastating to the future of healthcare. Researchers in PA and across the country do critical work, and I’ll continue to have their backs. www.inquirer.com/health/medic...

The volunteers and staff at Meals on Wheels at the Montco Senior Adult Activities Center provide essential nutritional and emotional support to our elderly and disabled community. We discussed the threat to this program’s continuation posed by the White House’s proposed funding cuts.

Not satisfied with gutting Medicaid, Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill will also cut Medicare. Promises made? Promises broken.

To no one’s surprise, Trump and his team celebrate Social Security’s anniversary with … more lies. t.co/bX2lmnkLKM

On the 90th Anniversary of the Social Security Act, I will continue to stand up against the Trump Administration’s attacks on Social Security so Americans can retire with dignity.

Kash Patel told us there’d be “no politicization” or “retributive actions” at the FBI. Now, the FBI is targeting Texas Democrats who didn’t commit crimes and firing senior officials who worked on January 6 cases. Did the FBI director lie to the Senate?

Instead of making life more affordable for all Americans, the Trump administration is making the rich richer by giving everyone else the shaft.

Breaking News: U.S. consumer prices rose 2.7% in July from a year ago, as President Trump’s tariffs intensified price pressures.

Everyone on American soil has the right to free speech. Secretary Rubio is abusing his power by deporting visa-holders and permanent legal residents to stifle free speech. I am demanding an end to his overreach by supporting the Land of the Free Act.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govAug 11(source)

It's an egotistical, pathetic attempt to stoke fear and distract from his failures: America is less affordable, healthy, and safe under this administration.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govAug 11(source)

The President's attempt to federalize the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department and deploy the National Guard on the streets of our nation's capital is an abuse of power.

Thank you to everyone who came out to Tinicum for my 4th Coffee with Your Congresswoman to discuss the local impact of Trump's tariffs, GOP cuts to Medicaid and SNAP, redistricting efforts across the country, and how we can remake our government to benefit all Americans, not just billionaires.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govAug 7(source)

At our third Coffee with Your Congresswoman, I was joined by constituents to discuss how Democrats are fighting back against Trump's MAGA agenda, funding for Pre-K and school lunches, and how constituents can stay informed and civically-engaged.

I joined National Night Out celebrations in Springfield and Marcus Hook to connect with neighbors, public service groups, and local police officers who keep our community safe. These local events build connection and trust within our communities and promote public safety.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govAug 7(source)

Thank you to everyone who came out to have an in-depth conversation on the issues affecting our community.

At my second Coffee with Your Congresswoman event (this week), I heard from constituents about issues ranging from Congressional Republicans' cuts to Medicaid and concerns about the Trump administration's attacks on the environment.

My team and I packed over 1100 meals with Philabundance Community Kitchen, which offers culinary arts and life skills training to SNAP-eligible students to prepare them to work in the food service industry. Their mission to end hunger is all the more critical now with federal cuts to SNAP Benefits.
