I had so much fun visiting Swarthmore Public Library to read during story hour. Children's literacy is one of the most important investments we can make in our future - and theirs. Public libraries provide essential resources and community spaces that help neighbors and friends come together.

I have joined @repkimschrier.bsky.social & @debbiedingell.house.gov & 140 of my colleagues in urging Sec. Rubio to reverse State Dept. decision to halt temporary medical-humanitarian visas for children from Gaza. Barring children from receiving life-saving medical care is cruel and un-American.

20 years ago, Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans, and a lack of preparation caused historic devastation and the loss of life. By gutting FEMA and targeting those voicing concerns about our readiness during Hurricane Season, this admin is putting the American people at risk for the next disaster.

I will continue to advocate for expanded treatment, naloxone access, and solutions that have proven effective in battling the overdose crisis plaguing our country.

@senatorkearney.com, Senator John Kane, and I joined local leaders to honor more than 300 community members we lost in their battle against addiction - just last year.

Just in time for Labor Day, Trump guts more labor rights.

President Donald Trump nullified more government unions Thursday, expanding a March order that has sharply limited federal-sector collective bargaining.

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

On the 62nd anniversary of the March on Washington, we honor the Americans who gathered to demand an end to segregation and discrimination and create a more equitable future for all. We commit to forming a more perfect union where all Americans can thrive equally.

I'm joining @pressley.house.gov and @pettersen.house.gov to demand that Secretary Rubio pressure Israel to surge humanitarian aid, including infant formula, to stop the starvation. The United States cannot sit on the sidelines as newborns and infants starve to death.

Trump Tariffs = More Expensive School Supplies

Nevertheless, this week, a grand jury refused to indict a protester for assault with a deli weapon when he threw a sandwich at troops deployed in DC.

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

In 1985, NY Chief Judge Sol Wachtler famously said that a grand jury could be persuaded to indict a ham sandwich because the grand jury system is so one-sided in the prosecution's favor.

South Korea bets big on reviving troubled US shipbuilding to woo Trump

South Korean President Lee Jae Myung leaned on promises to "Make American Shipbuilding Great Again" during his first official U.S. trip, as the two allies wrangle over other details of their trade and security agreements.

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

Hanwha’s investment Navy Yard Philadelphia will grow our local economy and increase the number of ships built, right here in Philly. It was wonderful to meet with President Jaemyung Lee to discuss the future of shipbuilding and the importance of investment to our community.

WASTE: using national guard to pick up trash FRAUD: claiming an emergency in DC ABUSE: fed takeover of local government

The Washington Post

Open post ↗

National Guard troops were deployed in D.C. to support federal law enforcement and local police. But in recent days, those orders have expanded to encompass “beautification” tasks such as trash removal and groundskeeping. Service members may work on removing graffiti, too. https://wapo.st/469jcUi

We were proud to welcome President Lee to Jaisohn Memorial House in Media, the longtime home of the first Korean to become a U.S. citizen and one of the founders of the Republic of Korea. www.mk.co.kr/en/politics/...

Gun violence like this is a uniquely American epidemic that we must end with more than thoughts and prayers.

Today, a mass shooting at a Catholic school in Minneapolis took the lives of two innocent children and injured 17 others. The pain felt by their loved ones, their community, and the country is immeasurable.

Staff at Moshannon Valley Processing Center was forced to deny me entry to conduct a congressionally authorized, unannounced oversight visit by Secretary Kristi Noem. Millions of Taxpayer Dollars go towards this immigration facility. If there is misconduct, Americans deserve transparency.

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

Moshannon Processing Center is the largest Immigration Detention Center in the Northeast. After hearing complaints about civil rights abuses and lack of access to medical care and mental health care, I’m performing a congressionally authorized oversight visit of the facility.
