The US labor market has hit record-high job cuts. Instead of increasing job opportunities, the Trump Administration is cutting 50,000 federal jobs.

CNN

In its latest effort to weaken the federal workforce, the Trump administration issued a rule on Thursday that would shift an estimated 50,000 senior career staffers into a new category that would make them easier to fire. https://cnn.it/4ah3kQq

The White House took down the President's Truth Social post featuring a vile and racist depiction of the Obamas. It is not enough. The White House needs to apologize for platforming this abhorrent content.

NBC News

BREAKING: President Trump removes a racist video depicting the Obamas as apes. The White House initially defended the post, then blamed it on a staffer.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govFeb 6(source)

Our founders understood that we must always strive to form a more perfect union - not cover up the sins and mistakes of the past.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govFeb 6(source)

Trump ordered the National Park Service to erase aspects of American History that made him uncomfortable, so the history of George Washington’s use of slave labor has been removed from the President’s House at Independence Hall in Philadelphia.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govFeb 6(source)

This administration’s effort to erase our history and those who have lived it must fail.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govFeb 5(source)

It's not a warning sign. It's a siren. 🚨 If job cuts resemble 2009, the emergency is already here.

Job openings plummet in warning sign for Trump's economy

When the President said "Make America Great Again," did he mean repeating the 2008 financial crisis?

There were 108,000 job cuts in January in the U.S., the most to begin a year since the Great Recession in 2009, according to a new report.

On Rosa Parks' birthday, we honor her contributions to the civil rights movement, which paved the way for securing the rights and liberties of generations of Americans. Her courage should inspire us all to stand up against the injustices we are confronting today.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govFeb 4(source)

Republican leaders in Congress should be subpoenaing Kristi Noem and DHS officials to get answers on the use of excessive force and the shooting deaths of American citizens by ICE and CBP agents. Americans are outraged. Why aren't @houserepublicans.bsky.social?

The effects of Trump’s #ReverseRobinHood budget are ALREADY rippling through our community. Starting this month, thousands of families in Philly are beginning to lose their critical SNAP food assistance - while the rich are enjoying huge tax breaks from the same law.

'One Big Beautiful Bill' kicks in, reducing or eliminating SNAP benefits

The Trump administration's "Big, Beautiful, Bill" changed the rules surrounding SNAP eligibility and will result in fewer people across the state receiving food aid

The Washington Post just laid off a third of its employees. Democracy dies when billionaires put their bottom line over providing information to the American people.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govFeb 4(source)

The Constitution reserves the right to administer elections to Pennsylvania and the other states, not the federal government. If the President tries to interfere in our elections, he'll lose in court just like he did every time he tried to push false claims of fraud in the 2020 election.

‘Take a look at Philadelphia’: Trump threatens to nationalize elections ahead of 2026 midterms

“The federal government should get involved." Trump said as he continues to push false claims about his loss in the 2020 election.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govFeb 4(source)

We also commit to ensuring that the current administration does not erase our shared American history, including the horrors of slavery and segregation, particularly at our cradle of liberty, Independence Hall.

Abrupt removal of President's House slavery exhibits was pulling 'pages out of a history book with a razor'

In court Friday, the city demanded the federal government return the displays, but a judge needed more time to make a ruling.

During Black History Month, we honor the resilience, resounding impact, and hard-earned victories of Black Americans.

Americans are paying the President's tariffs. If tariff revenues are down, it's because Americans are spending less. Reverse the tariffs. Increase affordability.

The country’s tariff revenues have plateaued. The latest daily figures suggest that January’s haul will be the lowest since September

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govFeb 3(source)

I will not be voting for Donald Trump's spending package today. The American people deserve a Congress that holds this administration accountable.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govFeb 3(source)

I cannot justify writing Kristi Noem and DHS a blank check for two more weeks after federal agents have repeatedly committed abuses against the American people using their taxpayer dollars.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govFeb 3(source)

If the White House and Kristi Noem won't do anything to end the militant, violent, and lawless behavior of ICE and CBP, then Congress must.

Liberation Day was actually about liberating Americans from employment.

The manufacturing boom President Trump promised would usher in a golden age for America is going in reverse.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govFeb 3(source)

The pro-Hamas rally at Rittenhouse Square yesterday was a horrific display of antisemitism and hatred. All Philadelphians must stand together to reject all forms of bigotry and any calls to violence in our community.
