Eid Mubarak to everyone in PA-05 and across the country gathering with their loved ones to celebrate Eid al-Fitr!

$200B would’ve covered 6 years worth of ACA tax credits for our own citizens (yes, the same health care funding they shot down as too expensive)

If we get a majority of the House to sign on, Speaker Johnson can't block the vote - and it will pass.
There's an easy solution to end the TSA chaos - if Republicans could take yes for an answer.
English
Yesterday, I joined more than 100 of my colleagues in signing a discharge petition to force a House vote on TSA funding.
English
For more than a month, Republicans have held TSA paychecks hostage, rather than rein in lawless ICE agents who have killed three American citizens in the past year.🧵

Pam Bondi has shown contempt for the American people every time Congress has demanded transparency.
@RepSummerLee was doing her job by demanding that Pam Bondi be held in contempt if she doesn't comply with a legal subpoena.
If Comer wanted accountability for the American people, he would do the same.
Rep. Summer Lee@RepSummerLee
Asking the chairman a legitimate question about whether he’ll hold Bondi accountable if she refuses to comply with a legal subpoena isn’t complaining, it’s doing my job. But if that’s his standard it’s no wonder there hasn’t been any real accountability.

Democrats are ready to fund @fema, @TSA, and @USCG, but Republicans are prolonging a shutdown to shield ICE & CBP from reform.
I've joined my @HouseDemocrats colleagues in signing a discharge petition to get a vote to get workers paid.

Public schools are a crucial part of our social fabric and our economic prosperity.
The White House is pushing states to deny public education to children based on their immigration status.
The Supreme Court held a generation ago that this is a denial of equal protection to those children, in addition to being a supremely stupid and inhumane public policy.

The White House knew that starting an unnecessary war in Iran would increase prices at home.
They did it anyway.
They don't care about lowering costs for American families.

Powell: The implications of events in the Middle East for the US economy are uncertain. In the near term, higher energy prices will push up overall inflation.

Corporal Timothy O'Connor was a State Trooper tragically killed in the line of duty in Chester County, Pennsylvania.
Yesterday, I stood alongside members of the Pennsylvania Delegation on the House floor to honor his life, his service, and his sacrifice for our state.

If you have to spend $165 for a passport to vote, you're paying a poll tax.

STOP the SAVE Act: the anti-voter law would require voters to show a passport or birth certificate to register to vote, but 21 million American citizens don’t have those documents readily available. Call your senators: bit.ly/4srDVLB

WATCH: Ranking Member @RepMGS delivers opening remarks, making clear that Congress should focus on policies that make life better for America’s children, not worse.

Greg Bovino led a deliberate campaign of lawlessness and terror in American cities and immigrant communities with the full approval and encouragement of this White House.
But when the American people - and federal courts - made it clear that they would not tolerate his abuses, the White House cut him loose.
Bovino's retirement is not enough; the White House needs to be held accountable for the atrocities that were committed under his watch.

If you're in Pennsylvania, the driver's license or Real ID you use to buy beer or fly is insufficient to register to vote under the SAVE America Act.
That's why it's a voter suppression bill.

the dumbest GOP talking point is deployed by John Barrasso

.@HouseGOP always says there isn't enough money to lower healthcare, grocery, or energy costs for American families, but they always have BILLIONS to spend on another unnecessary war abroad.

McGovern: I heard the gentlelady's speech in which she kind of defended the tax cuts for the rich and basically said we have a spending problem in this country. We do have a spending problem. We're spending $1 billion a day on a reckless illegal war in Iran.

Mohommad Nazeer Paktyawal, an Afghan refugee who served alongside our servicemembers in Afghanistan, died less than 24 hours after being in ICE custody.
There have been over 40 deaths in ICE custody, including one of my constituents, since the beginning of the President's term. This is un-American. We need accountability now.

An Afghan man who served alongside US special forces and fled his native country after its takeover by the Taliban died over the weekend shortly after being detained by immigration authorities, according to his family and an advocacy group. cnn.it/4rxYO6C

I'm proud to represent a top-ten Congressional district with constituents of Irish heritage, and I wish everyone in PA-05 a joyful celebration with friends and family!

I attended the National Gala of the Friendly Sons and Daughters of St. Patrick to celebrate Irish heritage in Philadelphia and honor the longstanding friendship between the U.S. and Ireland.
