Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon, who has represented Pennsylvania’s 5th district in the U.S. Congress since 2018, posted a series of critical statements on her social media account on January 9, 2026.
In her first post, Scanlon wrote: “Americans were promised a ‘golden age.’ Instead, this administration’s disastrous policies are creating the worst job market for young people since the pandemic.” (January 9, 2026).
Later that day, she added: “Really going after the worst of the worst…” (January 9, 2026).
In a third post, Scanlon stated: “Not mentioned: protecting the American people.” (January 9, 2026).
