Congratulations to Allison Tan, PA-05's 2025 Congressional App Challenge winner! After volunteering in a hospital ER and meeting with overdose patients who had difficulty filling their prescriptions for buprenorphine, a life-saving medication for opioid use disorder, Allison developed OpiWarrior.

Trump and Hegseth ignored experts - and reality - when they started the war with Iran. Their bad choices raised your gas prices. www.wsj.com/economy/cons...

Americans Spent $125 Million More on Gas Friday Than They Did a Week Ago

A 33-cent jump in the price of regular gasoline in a single week is hitting wallets fast, with the summer driving season still ahead.

This Law Day, we should all reflect on the importance of our Constitution, the rule of law, and our shared sacred oath.

I just posted my first article on Substack! I discuss the enduring importance of the oath we take as lawyers, elected officials, and Americans to the rule of law and the Constitution, and why we should recommit to it on Law Day, May 1.

When companies collude to raise prices and your costs, they need to be held accountable. I introduced the Competitive Prices Act to make it easier to fight corporate price-fixing. Read more here: scanlon.house.gov/news/documen...

@raskin.house.gov and I are investigating whistleblower reports that DOJ lawyers were pressured to indict the civil rights organization despite having serious reservations about the strength of the case.

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

From the jump, it was clear that the indictment of the Southern Poverty Law Center was part of the Trump administration's weaponization of the federal government to silence and intimidate those who oppose its corrupt and antidemocratic agenda.

DOJ rushed indictment of SPLC, according to whistleblower reports

After a whistleblower expressed concerns about the strength of the case against the civil rights organization, members of Congress have questions for prosecutors.

Yesterday, the House passed an amendment to the Farm Bill that would allow hot rotisserie chickens to be covered by SNAP, but it doesn't go far enough. We need to pass @meng.house.gov's Hot Foods Act, so Americans on SNAP can have access to more hot foods!

Oil prices hit wartime peak, pushing U.S. gas costs to highest since level July 2022

Brent crude surged past $126 a barrel early Thursday, while U.S. gasoline prices jumped to $4.30 a gallon.

The House just reauthorized FISA, the spy powers bill, which allows the government to spy on you. The government shouldn't be able to spy on you without a warrant, which is why I voted NO.

On May 1, Stand Up for the Rule of Law

The first oath I took was when I was admitted to the Pennsylvania bar.

Another awful ruling by SCOTUS gutting the Voting Rights Act and allowing voter suppression. Our democracy is stronger when voters can pick their representatives, not when representatives pick their voters.

Republicans across our country have tried for years to make it more difficult for women to access lifesaving reproductive healthcare. The FACE Act protects women from harassment when they are seeking abortion care. @houserepublicans.bsky.social are trying to get rid of it AGAIN.

Gasoline prices in the U.S. rose on Tuesday to their highest level in four years as Iran war peace talks appeared at an impasse. At $4.18 for a gallon of regular gasoline, the price at the pump has not been this high since shortly after Russia invaded Ukraine. nyti.ms/4cP0u6y

A chart shows the price of gas in the U.S. at $4.18 per gallon, the highest in four years. A headline reads: U.S. Gas Prices Hit Highest Level Since Beginning of War in Iran

The cuts @houserepublicans.bsky.social made to SNAP benefits last summer are projected to CAUSE 70,000 PREVENTABLE DEATHS. Now, they want to lock these cuts in, to give tax cuts to the ultra-rich, while leaving millions of Americans hungry.
