Many crisis pregnancy centers have abused public dollars by promoting an anti-abortion agenda instead of providing food, diapers, and support for pregnant women and families.

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

Pregnant and parenting students need practical resources while pursuing their education, not government-mandated propaganda and a bill that would do nothing to protect their civil rights after this administration gutted the Department of Education last year.

The White House is blocking congressional oversight of immigrant detention centers, amidst horrific reports of cruel treatment of detainees, denial of access to counsel and medical care, and extended periods of detention for people with no criminal records. We must pass this bill.

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

I have co-sponsored the Dignity for Detained Immigrants Act because we must end inhumane conditions in detention centers and protect the civil and human rights of immigrants.

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

The number of deaths and documented instances of harsh and inhumane conditions in U.S. immigration detention centers are exploding under this administration, as billions of taxpayer dollars are funneled into for-profit prison companies.

The President considers the tariffs raising costs for Americans his "SIGNATURE economic policy?" Good to know.

Bessent on tariffs: "I think it's very unlikely that the Supreme Court is going to strike down a president's signature economic policy. It didn't with the ACA, also known as Obamacare."

People should choose who represents them, not billionaires and corporations. That's why I introduced my Democracy for All Amendment to overturn Citizens United and put power back in the hands of the people - where it belongs. scanlon.house.gov/news/documen...

SCOOP: Elon Musk has cut a massive $10 million check to bolster an outsider, pro-Trump candidate running to succeed Sen. Mitch McConnell. The stunning gift is the biggest sign yet that Musk plans to spend big in the 2026 midterms.

This doesn't look like winning to me.

A year ago, the President promised us the "Golden Age." Today, our economy is in crisis as stocks tumble and prices skyrocket. The President's reckless tariffs and impulsive foreign policy are not helping Americans.

Stocks fell in early trading Tuesday as renewed trade tensions spilled into global markets after President Trump threatened to impose new tariffs on countries opposing the sale of Greenland to the U.S.

It was great to join Prospect Park Fire Company’s Food Drive alongside community members uplifting each other by donating much-needed food and essential items, as this administration makes it more difficult for Pennsylvanians to afford groceries and necessities.

The court confirmed what we heard in our hearing in Minneapolis last week, that ICE agents used excessive force against protesters and violated their First Amendment rights. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/18/u...

In Minneapolis, a Pattern of Misconduct Toward Protesters

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

Our country faces attacks against voting rights, a rise in hate speech, and state-sponsored attempts to diminish Americans' civil liberties. This MLK Day reminds us that our country has faced dark chapters before, and that we must organize, educate, and continue working towards a more perfect union.

I was honored to speak at the 4th Annual Delaware County Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service, held in partnership with Widener University, the City of Chester, and other organizations committed to continuing the fight for justice and equality.

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

The abuses being committed in Minneapolis in the name of the American people, using taxpayer dollars, are horrific. The use of armed and masked federal agents to sow chaos and conflict in this American city cannot be ignored. Don't look away. This impacts all of us.

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

I went on The Weekend to discuss how House Republicans are trying to use a hearing with Special Counsel Jack Smith later this week to discredit him and ignore the facts of Trump's BIG lie about the 2020 election.

With all the insane things that the Trump administration did this week, you know what they didn't do again this week? Release the Epstein files!

We heard that ICE agents have been responsible for half the shootings in Minneapolis this year. They are not making this community safer. Americans deserve a Congress that demands accountability for what is happening across the country, not one that bends the knee to the President.

I stood alongside my Democratic colleagues to lay flowers at the site where Renee Good was killed. This area reminds me of where I grew up - it looks like a lot of towns across America. What happened here can happen all across America if we don't use our voice and stand up for our rights.

“We will not stand by idly as this injustice unfolds. We will stand up and assert all means legal to protect the people of our state.” Listen to the testimony of @ag.state.mn.us Keith Ellison, who is suing the Trump administration over ICE’s violence in Minnesota, at our shadow hearing.
