My office secured $2 million in funding for the Share Food program's new warehouse in Delco. The warehouse will become operational later this year and help to offset some of the cuts to food assistance programs by the Trump administration.

Our interns presented their projects on how they would tackle an issue impacting PA-05 through legislation. I am grateful for their hard work this summer and proud to empower our future leaders!

When SNAP benefits are cut as a result of the Big, Ugly Bill, more and more people turn to our food banks. I took a tour of the new Share Food warehouse in Ridley, whose services are all the more important right now.

Trump's Republican Party wants Millions to go without: - Healthcare - Food - Life-saving Aid - NPR and PBS

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govJul 18(source)

American taxpayers are going to pay for the purchase and destruction of 1 million pounds of food that was supposed to feed 1.5 million malnourished children. That isn’t just un-American, its immoral.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govJul 17(source)

The Republicans calling the shots in this White House find democracy and the rule of law to be inconvenient barriers to their extremist agenda. So instead they want to rule this country through a combination of fear and fictitious national emergencies.

House Republicans have voted to block the release of the Epstein Files. They're scrambling to defend their decision before having to vote on it again.

As @VP heads to PA, don't forget he was the deciding vote on the federal budget that will do real damage while ballooning our national deficit. From gutting health care and food benefits to killing tens of thousands of energy jobs, the bill is a disaster for people across PA.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govJul 15(source)

The Trump Tariffs are forcing grocery and energy prices to rise across the country. Coupled with the White House’s reckless fiscal policy, Americans are going to suffer even more when cuts to Healthcare and SNAP benefits go into effect.

Inflation rose last month to its highest level since February as Trump's tariffs are pushing up the cost of a range of goods.

If these bills become law, we can predict many more crypto scandals and crises and money laundering, a lot of people will lose a lot of money, and no one will face accountability for taking advantage of retail investors.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govJul 15(source)

This administration came into office pledging to seek accountability for horrific crimes by revealing Epstein’s client list and other information, but recently backtracked and refused to release any further information.

The Clarity and GENIUS Acts are products of the DC Swamp that give the crypto industry everything it wants at the expense of consumers, retail investors, and our financial system.

The Trump administration isn’t just gutting the Department of Education, it’s also cutting the funding our school districts rely upon to plan their budget. “At stake in Pennsylvania is $230 million for teacher training, after school programs, and support for English language learners…"

Gov. Josh Shapiro sued President Donald Trump’s administration Monday, joining a lawsuit filed by 23 other states and the District of Columbia challenging the administration’s decision to withhold more than $6 billion in education funding.

House Republicans say they want to root out "fraud, waste, and abuse," but when it comes to the DoD they want to handicap the office responsible for finding waste.

"The Golden Age": House Republicans gave their Billionaire donors a Tax Cut while Young Americans are putting their lives on pause because they can't afford housing, healthcare, or groceries. All Americans deserve to have a shot at the American Dream, not just the Mega Rich.

The number of first-time homebuyers has plummeted, and is now just half the historical average.

First crudités, now carrot cake. Dr. Oz fails to meet the moment as Americans go hungry because USDA canceled millions of pounds of shipments to food banks, and SNAP cuts are looming. The Trump Admin is cutting off lifelines for Americans and telling them it's their fault.
