Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon, representing Pennsylvania’s 5th district since 2018, has been vocal on social media regarding various issues. Her recent tweets address topics ranging from personal expressions to critical political commentary.

On February 10, 2025, Scanlon shared a light-hearted post featuring her “outfit of the day” with an eagle emoji: “#OOTD https://t.co/NOeThkePo3”.

In a more serious tone on February 12, 2025, she emphasized the importance of the First Amendment as fundamental to democracy. She expressed concerns about threats to free speech and a free press by stating: “The First Amendment is the bedrock of our democracy, and we know that a democracy only truly works when its citizens are properly informed. But right now, both free speech and a free press are under attack by this administration and Trump’s billionaire buddy – Elon Musk.”

The following day, February 13, 2025, Scanlon highlighted an op-ed written by Rosa DeLauro: “Important op-ed by the always thoughtful and impressive @rosadelauro: https://t.co/YL4rLriRKk”.
