5-year-old Liam is not the worst, nor is his father. Kristi Noem, Stephen Miller, and the President are the ones running the violent charade we're seeing on American streets.

This administration has slashed programs and gutted staff that serve our Veterans. I spoke on the House floor in support of the National Women's Relief Corps because organizations that support our veterans are more critical than ever.

70% of ICE detainees have no criminal record, yet they are deprived of liberty and treated like felons. I conducted congressional oversight at the Philadelphia Federal Detention Center after one of my constituents died in ICE custody there. whyy.org/articles/ice...

Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon says ICE detainees are treated like ‘federal prisoners’ at Philadelphia detention center

Scanlon, who represents Delco and parts of Philly and Montco, conducted congressional oversight of the facility after one of her constituents died in ICE custody.

I wanted to better understand the struggles they face in the wake of cuts by DC Republicans to Medicaid and other critical health care funding.

I toured Penn Medicine Presbyterian Trauma Center with staff from the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia to learn about the important work of these renowned Level One Trauma centers.

There is no explanation for how Liam (and others) have been treated - unless cruelty and terror are the point.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govFeb 1(source)

I’m thankful that Liam and his father are getting the justice they deserve. And kudos to the court for following the law and calling out the administration’s “lust for unbridled power and imposition of cruelty…bereft of human decency.”

Liam Conejo Ramos, the 5-year-old who was detained by federal agents while wearing a Spider-Man backpack and a blue bunny hat, is back home in Minnesota, a statement from his school district said on Sunday. A federal judge had demanded that the boy and his father be set free a day earlier.

The Senate needs to pass the House’s bipartisan 3-year ACA tax credit extension - now.

It was heartbreaking to hear that parents are cancelling their own healthcare to afford coverage for their children.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govJan 31(source)

We stopped by the Delaware County Health Clinic in Yeadon to meet with representatives of Pennie, the program that provides ACA coverage in PA. The Pennie reps reported that thousands of PA families are losing healthcare coverage because they can no longer afford it.

The DOJ was mandated to release all the Epstein files, not 50%. Those who conspired to abuse women and girls should not receive protection from our government. The DOJ needs to release ALL the Epstein files NOW. End the Epstein cover-up.

The Justice Department said it released 3 million more documents from the Epstein files, including 2,000 videos and 180,000 images.

@houserepublicans.bsky.social is trying to pass a voter suppression bill impacting MILLIONS of Americans as a pathetic attempt to hold onto power and inflict more pain on the American people.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govJan 30(source)

The Republican majority passed policies that benefited the rich and powerful at the cost of the American people EVERY CHANCE THEY GOT. They're trying to rig elections before the American people can hold them accountable.

Earlier today House Republicans released their latest voter suppression bill that would block millions of Americans from exercising their right to vote. They are desperate to rig the system so they can choose their voters. I will fight this bill at every turn.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govJan 30(source)

This is naked abuse of power and corruption - of the DOJ, the FBI, and the Presidency.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govJan 30(source)

Once again, Trump and his DOJ are trying to rewrite history. Trump's claims of election fraud in Georgia have been thoroughly & repeatedly debunked. Those votes have been counted, recounted, and audited, and credible people of every political party agree - Trump lost, & there was no election fraud.

Election officials push back against Trump administration after Fulton County raid and voter roll demands

Georgia officials warn the administration’s adversarial approach undermines their ability to do their jobs and Americans’ faith in the electoral process.

Whether it’s arresting Don Lemon or raiding a Washington Post journalist’s home, the First Amendment is under attack by this Administration. This White House is going to extraordinary lengths to suppress dissent and instill fear in those who criticize it. apnews.com/article/don-...

The Department of Justice just pulled this document of allegations against Donald Trump down off their website. Why? End the Coverup.

If @houserepublicans.bsky.social actually cared about the trade deficit, they wouldn't be blocking a vote to reverse the President's disastrous tariff policy.
