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.

@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.

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.

We're going to keep up the fight for all of our rights in court and in Congress. Stand with us and make your voice heard.

2. The people running these ICE facilities don't understand that the rule of law is not optional. Honoring your rights is not optional.

One of my constituents died in ICE custody two weeks ago, so I went to Philadelphia's Federal Detention Center, and 2 things stood out to me🧵:

What administration officials do when asked basic questions about: Illegal boat strikes in the Caribbean and invading Venezuela: cover it up Failure to release the Epstein files: cover it up ICE and Border Patrol shooting and killing American citizens: cover it up See a trend?

Kaine: "I'd like to talk about the complete weakness of the legal rationale about the strikes on boats, but I can't because the administration has only shared it in a classified setting. I can't tell you why the rationale for attacking VZ is hollow because again it was shared in a closed setting"

Last year marked the largest number of job cuts in 5 years. Thousands of workers are losing their jobs, while billionaires watch their net worth skyrocket. Apparently, the "Golden Age" only applies to billionaires and big business, not the rest of America.

Thank you, @governor.pa.gov, for standing up for Philadelphia and American history, while the White House tries to whitewash the horrors of slavery. Last week, I joined Rep. Evans and Rep. Boyle to demand that the Trump Administration explain why this exhibit was removed in the first place.

I hope that the agitator who tried to silence @repilhan.bsky.social is condemned and punished, both for his attack on her personally and on the town hall she was hosting for her constituents in her beleaguered and beloved Minneapolis. I’m proud to call her my colleague.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govJan 28(source)

Political violence is never the answer. It diminishes all of us, but especially the attacker and whatever cause they thought to advance.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govJan 28(source)

I remain in awe of my sister in service, @repilhan.bsky.social, as she continues to serve her community and our country with courage and compassion. The thugs and bullies who seek to intimidate her will never understand the patriotism and passion that fuels her from within.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govJan 28(source)

We need all Americans to stand up and speak out to protect our Constitution and basic American values.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govJan 28(source)

Kristi Noem has got to go, but that's just the start. DHS should not get another dollar until we can ensure accountability. We need guardrails to ensure that DHS is not making Americans less safe on their own streets.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govJan 27(source)

Pennsylvanians deserve their delegation to stand united in demanding significant reforms to DHS before giving the department any more of their tax dollars.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govJan 27(source)

I stand with my Democratic House colleagues in the Pennsylvania delegation, calling on @fetterman.senate.gov and Senator McCormick to vote against funding for DHS this week. DHS has undermined public trust in our government's commitment to protecting our civil liberties and right to due process.

On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we remember the six million Jews and others who were killed as victims of Nazi persecution. In remembering, we must recommit ourselves to stand up against and disavow antisemitism and all forms of hatred, and work to prevent another such atrocity.
