Thank you, Madame Speaker, for your service, courage, and leadership.

Trump's tariffs are making everything too unaffordable. If the Supreme Court doesn't strike them down, the House should be come back to work and vote against these tariff bills.

It’s a beautiful fall day for @houserepublicans.bsky.social to come back to work and restore benefits for the American people.

Donald Trump is not judge, jury, and executioner. Summary executions are illegal—in peacetime and wartime. Congress needs answers on Donald Trump’s extrajudicial killings in the Caribbean Sea and Pacific Ocean.

For more than 15 years, the GOP healthcare plan has been to take healthcare away from Americans.

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

Never before has a President tried to BLOCK funding for SNAP - until now. Trump administration is REFUSING to follow a court directive to use contingency fund to provide SNAP benefits. Cruelty is the point.

The polls are open, Pennsylvania! Our democracy is stronger when we all participate – so if you haven’t already, be sure to cast your ballot before 8pm. For more information, head to pa.gov/vote and make your voice heard.

With food prices rising and Americans going hungry, the White House should be looking for ways to help feed Americans, not creating roadblocks as states and local communities try to step up.

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

We highlighted two judicial rulings that the White House acted unlawfully when it blocked November SNAP payments & refused to use the emergency funds provided by Congress for that purpose.

With food pantries scrambling to address need in our community, I joined local leaders to demand that Speaker Johnson call the House back in session to work for the American people.

If you have requested a mail-in ballot, remember to bring it to your local county election bureau or a Dropbox by 8 p.m. Tuesday! If you’re voting in-person, remember to head to the polls tomorrow. Make sure your voice is heard!

I joined @repreginayoung.com's Civic Conversation with local leaders in Southwest Philadelphia to discuss the importance of civic engagement and how everyone can get more involved in their community, including voting in every election such as the one tomorrow!

The White House and the GOP need to come together to negotiate a budget that works for all Americans.

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

I held an Open House for federal workers in PA-05, many of whom are working without pay. We talked about how the GOP shutdown and the Trump Administration’s attacks on federal workers and the services they provide are impacting their lives.

The Trump Administration CAN use the contingency fund to pay for SNAP benefits in November. The White House is choosing to let Americans go hungry when they don't have to.

Two federal judges rule the Trump administration must tap into billions in emergency funds to at least partially cover food stamp benefits in November https://cnn.it/4ok7bSI

The White House is refusing to reimburse states who try to fund SNAP, just like it is refusing to use the contingency fund. This takes away options from local and state leaders trying to prevent Pennsylvania families from going hungry. www.goerie.com/story/news/p...

SNAP benefits are due to lapse Nov. 1. What Pennsylvania leaders are doing about it.

About 1.1 million Pennsylvania families and 694,000 children rely on SNAP, according to the state.

I hope everyone in PA-05 has a safe and happy Halloween!

If the White House follows through on its (inhumane) threat to halt SNAP payments this Saturday, many people in our community will be suffering. Visit www.pa.gov/agencies/dhs... to find an essential resources at a local food pantry near you.

In case I’ve not made myself clear—no family in America should go hungry. Period. Trump’s decision to withhold SNAP is unconscionable and immoral. The GOP needs to come back to DC and reopen the government. And the Admin needs to release the funds so families can put food on the table on Saturday.
