I met with the Upper Darby Library Teen Advisory Board which is filled with young leaders committed to public service. It was wonderful to learn about the issues most important to them and the initiatives that they are working on.

Groceries and costs are up across the board. Americans cannot afford The Trump Tariffs. abcnews.go.com/Business/inf...

Inflation climbed in August as Trump's tariffs intensified

Fed Chair Jerome Powell has warned of a tariff-induced price hike.

I met with Delaware County school superintendents to discuss the drastic cuts to public education proposed by the White House, and also shared research regarding the importance of civic education and encouraging voter registration for eligible students in order to help them become lifelong voters.

Electricity prices have increased by 11% in Pennsylvania. These record high prices coupled with the rising cost of groceries and other products as a result of Trump’s tariffs are unaffordable for Pennsylvanian families. www.inquirer.com/business/ene...

Their electric bills hit record highs this summer, from the Main Line to the Jersey Shore

Between June 2024 and June 2025, electricity prices increased by 11% in Pennsylvania and 25% in New Jersey. By August, some Philly-area residents said they were getting $400 to $996 monthly bills.

This was an ABUSE of authority - not only had Congress approved the purchase and distribution of the contraceptives, but International Organizations had offered to reimburse the US for them if AID couldn’t distribute them.

Waste, Fraud, and Abuse: The Trump administration WASTED $10 million of taxpayer-funded healthcare products after FRAUDULENTLY claiming that contraceptives cause abortion.

Millions of dollars worth of contraceptives destined for low-income countries were destroyed at the direction of the Trump administration.

I was happy to join Mayor Deutsch of Narberth & my Dem. colleagues in support of legislation to reverse the devastating health cuts Republicans passed in OBBB. Healthcare costs are skyrocketing but Congress can alleviate these barriers by passing the Protecting Health Care & Lowering Costs Act.

On the 24th anniversary of 9/11, we mourn the innocent lives lost in those horrific attacks on our nation. We honor the bravery and sacrifice of all the first responders who ran towards the terror on one of our darkest days. #NeverForget

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govSep 10(source)

Another school shooting today. This time it's Colorado. Children should be able to go to school without being afraid of being shot. Gun violence is taking too many American lives. We cannot continue to go down this path without action.

Shocked & heartbroken to see there is an ongoing incident involving an active assailant at Evergreen High School. I'm hopeful law enforcement is able to intervene & ensure all kids come home safe. We are in communication with local law officials & will be there to support the Evergreen community.

Political violence should never be tolerated and should be rejected by everyone in America.

Trump ally Charlie Kirk was shot at an event in Utah, a source familiar with the matter says. The extent of Kirk's injuries was not immediately clear. https://cnn.it/46wT7i4

I forced a standalone vote to repeal the 2002 and 1991 Authorizations for the Use of Military Force. This will allow Congress to finally end open-ended authorities that have been abused by presidents of both parties to wage wars all over the world.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govSep 10(source)

If Congress doesn't demand that all the Epstein Files be released, it is a part of the cover-up. Why won't House Republicans allow these files to be released so we can do our job? What are they hiding?

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govSep 9(source)

Actually, it's very much alive.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govSep 9(source)

This administration has wasted millions of taxpayer dollars to send: - Dr. Phil on an ICE raid - 100s of people to a violent, inhumane prison in El Salvador - the National Guard to the streets of American cities

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govSep 9(source)

The President decided to rename the Department of Defense as the Department of War. While this gimmick won't distract from the Epstein files and this administration's economic failures, it will certainly cost taxpayers a fortune, with estimates ranging over a billion dollars.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govSep 9(source)

Republicans gleefully cheer on military deployments in American cities. I’ll bet that they’d lose their goddamn minds if National Guard troops were sent to their home states, which have substantially higher crime rates.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govSep 9(source)

The ongoing abuse of the National Guard with deployments to American cities is a terrible use of taxpayer dollars. These deployments support the sickest kind of politics, using military power to intimidate citizens and the residents in some of our biggest cities.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govSep 9(source)

Our country made solemn promises to provide refuge to Afghan allies who stood with our troops when it mattered. I heard from constituents in my district that an Afghan man who supported our troops was arrested and detained despite having papers. The people who support our troops deserve better.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govSep 9(source)

How do you think every Republican on the Rules Committee voted on the Epstein Files Discharge Petition?

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govSep 8(source)

The Trump White House is all about the show of force - and not about solving the problem. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

The Deeper Crime Problem that the National Guard Can’t Solve

Proven solutions have been rejected by the administration in favor of no-tolerance policies and flashy shows of force.
