Judiciary Republicans' bill creates more red tape for Americans with disabilities trying to enforce their rights when denied access by a business. @houserepublicans.bsky.social are trying to undermine Americans' civil rights, whether it's the right to vote or our laws prohibiting discrimination.

Mail in ballots for me, but not for thee:

President Donald Trump has cast another mail ballot in Florida as he continues to publicly bash the voting method as a source of fraud and push Congress to curtail the practice.

16 years ago, the Affordable Care Act enabled millions of Americans to access lifesaving healthcare. Republicans have tried to destroy the ACA for years. Now, Republicans are refusing to extend the ACA tax credits for millions of Americans after giving billionaires a tax cut.

The President is blocking funding for TSA agents to distract from his reckless war in Iran and the Epstein files.

This administration must be held accountable for those deaths, so that other lives may be saved.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govMar 20(source)

Another life lost - over 40 deaths have occurred in ICE custody since the start of this administration. Moms, dads, and kids - mostly with no criminal record - are dying because of horrific conditions and callous mismanagement in ICE detention facilities.

Teen dies at Florida ICE detention center after being found unresponsive, authorities say

Royer Perez-Jimenez was arrested by the Volusia County Sheriff's Office in January, according to ICE.

Happy Nowruz to everyone in PA-05 and around the world celebrating the new year! I wish the Iranian community around the world peace, freedom, and self-determination in this season of renewal!

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govMar 19(source)

Eid Mubarak to everyone in PA-05 and across the country gathering with their loved ones to celebrate Eid al-Fitr! I wish everyone a joyous celebration of the end of Ramadan.

If we get a majority of the House to sign on, Speaker Johnson can't block the vote - and it will pass. There's an easy solution to end the TSA chaos - if Republicans could take yes for an answer.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govMar 19(source)

Yesterday, I joined more than 100 of my colleagues in signing a discharge petition to force a House vote on TSA funding.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govMar 19(source)

Last week, I forced a vote in the Rules Committee to fund DHS, except for ICE. Every Republican in the Rules Committee voted to block it. Nevertheless, we persevere!

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govMar 19(source)

Democrats have repeatedly offered to fund TSA and the rest of DHS while Congress negotiates reforms to ICE and Border Patrol. Republicans have refused.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govMar 19(source)

For more than a month, Republicans have held TSA paychecks hostage, rather than rein in lawless ICE agents who have killed three American citizens in the past year.🧵

Democrats are ready to fund FEMA, TSA, and Coast Guard, but Republicans are prolonging a shutdown to shield ICE & CBP from reform. I've joined my @housedemocrats.bsky.social colleagues in signing a discharge petition to get a vote to get workers paid.

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

The Supreme Court held a generation ago that this is a denial of equal protection to those children, in addition to being a supremely stupid and inhumane public policy.

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

Public schools are a crucial part of our social fabric and our economic prosperity. The White House is pushing states to deny public education to children based on their immigration status.
