Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon, who represents Pennsylvania’s 5th district in the U.S. Congress, posted a series of messages on November 6, 2025, addressing topics ranging from congressional leadership to federal nutrition assistance and tariffs.
In her first post at 18:24 UTC, Scanlon expressed appreciation for House leadership, stating: “Thank you, Madame Speaker, for your service, courage, and leadership.”
Later that evening at 19:20 UTC, she commented on federal support for food assistance programs: “Couldn’t agree more! Tell the President to fund SNAP payments!”
At 21:17 UTC on the same day, Scanlon questioned tariff policies and their financial impact on Americans with the message: “As in pay back trillions to AMERICANS that they paid because of your tariffs???”
