Congresswoman Madeleine Dean

To bring American manufacturing home, we must train the next generation. I'm dismayed that the Admin is thoughtlessly eyeing cuts to technical programs that create jobs and spur innovation. We must invest in our workers — not threaten their pathway to good-paying careers.

Ending the week in Washington the best way — with our students! Thank you to the smart, engaged students at Penn Charter, and of course their teachers, for your visit.   Wishing you the best of luck in the upcoming school year!📚

Gaza is starving. This week, I spoke of the complexity of addressing this scale of malnutrition. It goes beyond food — Gaza needs skilled pediatricians, nutritionists, and other specialists to save innocent people, including children, from starving to death.

Diplomacy and development go hand-in-hand with American defense. Programs like USAID build goodwill, save lives, and make the our country stronger. @RepDean

How lucky are we to work with bright, hardworking interns all summer! Grateful for Rick, Victoria, and Mason’s energetic and thoughtful contributions to our D.C. office — and our district. Our young people give me such hope. ♥️

The Trump Administration is withholding billions in education funding — money that has been passed by Congress to provide after school programs, teacher training, and much more. I implore the President to reverse course — for the sake of our children and their teachers.

Like many of you, I am greatly disturbed by the ICE raids in Montgomery County. This week, more than 14 neighbors were taken from a farmers market by Norristown — masked agents, unidentified cars. This is not the American freedom we cherish. This is lawlessness.

Homelessness in Pennsylvania — especially among seniors — is tragically on the rise. Organizations like Your Way Home work tirelessly to serve our neighbors — I will not stand by as Republicans try to slash funding for them and for similar crucial programs across this country.

Federal education funding isn't optional — it's law. By illegally withholding $230 million from Pennsylvania's schools, President Trump is threatening the success of our teachers, students, and families. PA is fighting back. inquirer.com/education/josh…

1,300 State Department employees — patriots — unceremoniously fired. Decades of experience, service, and knowledge gone. How does this make us safer? It doesn't.

I was so moved to join the opening of The Wall That Heals in Montgomery County — a project by the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund to bring a replica of the wall across America. We carry their names, their ultimate sacrifice, with us. Thank you to everyone who made this possible.

Congressional Republicans' new "work" requirements amount to paperwork — added bureaucratic hurdles to kick vulnerable people off Medicaid. In PA, 310,000 residents could lose their healthcare. How cynical.

Happy Independence Day! 🇺🇸 On this Fourth of July, we celebrate the birth of our nation — and know that we must always protect our precious freedom. Have a safe, joyful weekend!

Today, my Republican colleagues narrowly passed the worst piece of legislation in modern history. My full statement:

As House Republicans try to jam through Trump’s One Big, Ugly Bill, @RepDean has a simple question on today’s Democratic Daily Download:   Why would anyone vote for this terrible bill?

Trump’s terrible, big, ugly bill will hurt every single community. I implore my Republican colleagues to vote their conscience — because if they do, their vote will be NO.

As we close out another Gun Violence Awareness Month, I reintroduced six gun violence prevention bills — each of which would lessen the heartbreaking toll that this epidemic takes on communities across the country. We must continue the fight to end gun violence once and for all.

Kicking 310,000 Pennsylvanians off their healthcare to pay for another tax cut for the wealthy isn't good governance. It's cruel. To my Republican colleagues who represent our Commonwealth — how could you vote for this bill? inquirer.com/health/medicai…
