Congresswoman Madeleine Dean

Our students are our future, and I was delighted to welcome Plymouth Meeting Friends School to learn how policymaking works.   Thank you for your thoughtful legislative ideas and real optimism for our country. You give me such hope!

The House should have passed this bill weeks ago. While I am relieved that Republicans' DHS shutdown has ended, I will continue to use my vote and my voice to oppose any additional funding for ICE and CBP.

1 in 8 women in the U.S. will face breast cancer in their lifetime. For 40 years, Susan G. Komen has turned those stories into research, resources, and real support. Thankful to meet with their powerful advocates in the fight to end this cruel disease for every woman and man.

The Hunger Free Pennsylvania coalition, including our local Share Food Program and Philabundance, address our most basic need for nutrition. I’m grateful for their visit to D.C. as we work to protect SNAP for our most vulnerable, including kids, seniors, and veterans.

40 years since the tragic Challenger explosion — and in the aftermath of immense loss, Challenger Learning Centers have served as a living memorial. I’m thrilled to have secured federal support for @mccc's Pottstown campus to expand our students’ interest in space exploration.

This week I pressed the Commerce Secretary on Epstein and on unlawful tariffs.    What became clear is that this administration isn’t addressing Americans’ concerns — only scrambling to manage the fallout from its own actions.

Secretary Lutnick misled the public about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.   The American people deserve the truth.

Clean air, pure water, and the preservation of our natural resources are rights guaranteed to Pennsylvanians in our Constitution. Let this Earth Day be a reminder of our obligation to protect the environment for “generations yet to come.” 🌎

I am sick over the shooting in Louisiana — eight precious kids, babies and schoolchildren, murdered by someone who should have protected them.   Today also marks 27 years since Columbine, and in its long, dark shadow, our country has had to absorb senseless, utterly depraved mass shootings — outside and inside homes.   My heart is with the mothers and families of those innocent lives stolen, the wounded, and the entire Shreveport community. I will not tire in our hope for a nation free of gun violence.

REMINDER: The deadline for the Congressional Art Competition is May 1. It’s a wonderful opportunity for talented high schoolers to display their art. 🎨

Huge thanks to our Spring interns, Bella and Ryan — your hard work and enthusiasm made a real impact.   Your contributions to our office and your community are truly appreciated. You’ll be missed!

East Penn Manufacturing is the very spirit of American entrepreneurship — a father & son creating a battery business in a one-room shop. 70 years later, they employ 10,000 Pennsylvanians. I was delighted to celebrate the opening of their new facility in Blandon.

RFK Jr. is proud of the dangerous cuts he has made to our nation's fight against the mental health and substance use crises. His leadership is incompetent. These people are not serious — they're cruel.

In what world do the President and Vice President publicly chide the Pope? We should be looking to his example of compassion, not the chaos and fear dominating this administration’s words and actions.

Survivors deserve to be heard. Two powerful men are out of office because of the courage of survivors. I'm grateful to RAINN for sharing their stories and pushing for change. We must keep listening and believing.

Always great to be back in a classroom — especially to help foster a love of reading in our young learners.📚 Thank you to Principal Moyer, the devoted teachers, and of course the students at Rupert Elementary for having me at DEAR (Drop Everything And Read) Day!

Montgomery County is a hub for science and medicine, so I was delighted to visit Paratek, a biopharmaceutical company in KOP focused on the development of antibiotics. I'm thankful for their commitment to life-saving innovation.

House Democrats introduced a War Powers resolution to reassert congressional authority and stop Trump’s war of choice.    House Republicans blocked it — choosing loyalty to one man over their duty to the American people.

Democrats are in DC today to introduce a War Powers Resolution while Speaker Johnson is nowhere to be found. Service members are at risk, Americans are scared, and the world is on edge over this President’s erratic actions. We must stop this war of choice.

Our veterans are the very best of us and deserve the resources to lead fulfilling lives after their service. Thank you to the VFW for their tireless advocacy for our vets — from healthcare to education to careers — and the community they build.
