Congresswoman Madeleine Dean

Congress has the power to fund TSA. The Republican House majority does not have the will.

Thank you Radha, Chancellor of Penn State Berks for coming down to DC. It was great to hear about the impressive feats of students at The Mill — a manufacturing hub leading the way in robotics and the digital age.

This President’s reckless war of choice is putting countless lives at risk. Americans, service members, and civilians in the Middle East shouldn’t be put at risk because of this administration’s erratic and dangerous decisions.

Mr. Speaker, Americans are fed up. Bring the bill to fund TSA and other key agencies to the floor now.

Bally Ribbon Mills has produced specialty fabrics in Montco for over a century. Thank you for coming to D.C. to discuss your work in supplying textiles to a wide-range of manufacturers nationwide and keeping manufacturing here at home.

Eid Mubarak! Wishing you and your family peace and blessings as you celebrate the end of Ramadan.

What a delight to meet with our future leaders from my alma mater, La Salle University! Thank you to Dr. Thomas for bringing your class to D.C. — it was inspiring to hear their ideas on improving healthcare for Americans. Go explorers! 💙💛

A plaque meant to honor the courage of Jan. 6 officers was finally hung — 5 years later, in a quiet basement, in the middle of the night. Our law enforcement deserves better than this kind of disregard.

As a grandmother of seven, I want to trust that our institutions will protect our children's health. There is no room for political ideology in the NIH.

The Pottstown Regional Community Foundation is focused on the quality of life in our region. 

Their focus on improving access to healthcare, wellness programs, and education helps families thrive.
 
Thank you for welcoming my team to your Pottstown Office!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! ☘️ On this day, I turn to Ireland’s literary giant, Seamus Heaney. In his poem “Digging,” Heaney tends to the weight of legacy and family history — finding meaningful parallel between his work with words and his forefathers’ work with the land.

Congratulations to our 2026 Congressional App Challenge finalists! Special Congratulations to our first place winner — Lillian from The Hill School! Motivated by the growing mental health crisis among her peers, Lillian created the app Glitched, a 2-D and 3-D day-in-the-life simulation that helps students recognize symptoms of anxiety in order to raise necessary awareness. Our second place winners are Divya and Om from Germantown Academy for College Buddy, an app that helps students navigate the complex and often stressful world of college applications. Our third place winner is Siddharth from Spring-Ford Area High School for Smart C.A.N.E. (Computer Aided Navigational Equipment) which would improve mobility aids for the blind and seeing-impaired. Every year, I amazed not just by the intelligence of our students, but by the heart they bring to their innovation.

House Democrats want to fund key DHS agencies and pay TSA workers — while we address Americans' concerns about ICE.    If House Republicans are serious about making America safe, they would join us.

I’m at the Dilley detention center, where 5‑year‑old Liam Ramos was once held and where hundreds of other children continue to endure harsh, unacceptable conditions. This isn’t sound immigration policy — it’s cruelty.

The Gámez-Cuéllar family has been released from Dilley! We just picked them up.

This week, I voted for the War Powers Resolution to rein in this President. We have been led into a war of choice with Iran, and Congress must reassert our authority. We owe it to the American people, especially our service members.

Reports from ICE detention centers already show deeply concerning, inhumane conditions. Packing thousands into Berks and Schuylkill warehouses ignores the wellbeing of those inside and nearby communities. PA is right to demand accountability.

Capt. Cody Khork, Sgt. 1st Class Noah Tietjens, Sgt. 1st Class Nicole Amor, Sgt. Declan Coady, Chief Warrant Officer Robert Marzan, and Maj. Jeffrey O'Brien. I mourn the heavy loss of our six U.S. service members in Kuwait. Americans deserve answers.

At the heart of CARE’s work is progress for women and girls whose health, education, and job opportunities are stunted by poverty and conflict.

Grateful to celebrate International Women’s Day with their devoted team. 💜
