Gas prices are going through the roof, and this administration doesn't know the difference between Reality and Reality TV. They have no plan, no goals, and no objective. They're continuing a war based on their own vibes, while our servicemembers' lives hang in the balance.

I'm proud to have worked alongside the IAFF to achieve this win.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govMar 16(source)

It was an honor to speak at the IAFF Legislative Conference after my bill, the Honoring Our Fallen Heroes Act, was signed into law. The families of our fallen and permanently disabled firefighters and other first responders have waited far too long to get the benefits they deserve.

Republicans control the federal government, and they're refusing to put Americans' interests first.

Democrats are trying to pass bills in the House and Senate to fund every part of DHS except ICE. Republicans are blocking those bills, forcing TSA agents to go without pay and causing massive disruptions at our airports.

Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon: If you declare that you have the right to kill someone because the government says they're a narco-terrorist, what separates a boat in the Caribbean from a person on the streets of Chicago? I mean, there is no legal distinction there.

The SAVE America Act will disenfranchise millions of Americans THIS November. Our elections are secure, and have been proven to be secure time and time again. This is a voter suppression bill.

Starting as soon as Tuesday, Thune will kick off what could be weeks of debate on the SAVE America Act. But the GOP's elections overhaul bill, a Trump priority, will likely fail to pass.

I was honored to join Villanova's Center for Irish Studies in welcoming Taoiseach Micheál Martin to campus for a discussion of Ireland's enduring ties with America on our 250th anniversary, and of Ireland's exemplary use of soft power and alliances in pursuing a values-based foreign policy.

The freedom of the press to report upon - and criticize - government is the foundation of a free society. If the President doesn't want the press to report on bad news or reckless decisions, he shouldn't make them. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House. They shut down DHS because they refuse to rein in ICE.

As co-chair of the Congressional Foster Youth Caucus, I find the input of foster youth, foster families, and organizations that serve them to be invaluable.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govMar 13(source)

I met with Well Rooted PA, a nonprofit that provides services to meet the needs of foster families and children in PA-05, and learned about its holistic approach and range of services, including housing assistance, mental health resources, transportation, and more.

Main streets are the core of our economy. I toured small businesses in Wayne and the Anthony Wayne Theatre renovation project with state and local officials to learn more about the challenges they are facing in the current economic environment.

Today's attack on Temple Israel, a synagogue in Michigan, is horrifying. Everyone has a right to worship in peace without fear of violence and bigotry. I am praying for all those affected and am thankful for the quick response from law enforcement and first responders.

I enjoyed visiting with high school students participating in the Emerge Youth Leadership Fellowship at UPenn’s Fels Institute to speak about my work as a Member of Congress and how they can be civically engaged.

Republicans in Congress and the White House refused to extend the ACA tax credits and save healthcare for millions of Americans, but they're willing to shovel out BILLIONS for a war in Iran that NOBODY asked for. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/11/w...

Thank you to everyone who attended our Lima Estates town hall! I appreciated the opportunity to discuss constituent concerns about the status of the war in Iran, voting and disability rights, and excesses in immigration enforcement. Your input is essential as I represent the voice of PA-05 in DC.
