This administration wants voters to be intimidated because they know they're losing. Don't let the lies and fearmongering win — our elections are free and fair. All voters should feel empowered to use their voice.

The survivors of Jeffrey Epstein deserve justice. While in Dallas, I viewed an exhibit of more than 300 million pages of the Epstein Files. It is a brave project that aims to uncover the cruel crimes of Epstein and his associates, and to give voice to the women and girls who suffered their abuse.

Our veterans represent the very best of us — and I am always eager to learn from their experiences to help guide my work. Thank you to our Veterans Advisory Panel (and the veterans on my team!) for giving their insights on how we can better support veterans as they establish their civilian lives.

With one in four nurses assaulted at work and many leaving the profession, we must do better for those who give their best when we are at our worst. Kevin Mahoney, Penn Medicine CEO, and I wrote about how we can better protect our healthcare workers.⤵️ thephiladelphiacitizen.org/guest-commen...

Republicans had their chance to govern, instead they chose to support this administration’s corruption and incompetence.

I was delighted to celebrate 73 years of the United States—Republic of Korea alliance. In the wake of the Korean War, the Eisenhower Admin forged the US-ROK Mutual Defense Treaty. Eisenhower wrote “the security of an individual nation in the free world depends upon the security of its partners.”

September is National Recovery Month — an opportunity to remind people that recovery is possible. 💜 My family shares our story to help break the stigma — and I was grateful to speak alongside the Winder family, who lead with such vulnerability, at Montgomery County’s Reflections on Recovery.

I carry the U.S. Constitution with me every single day — and I encourage every American to do so. It is the beautiful, clear foundation of our nation, and a constant reminder of my pledge to uphold its freedoms. On this Constitution Day, may we all celebrate and reflect on its guiding principles.

The Ukrainian people are asking the U.S. to stand with them as their indispensable ally. The Russian and Iran Sanctions Act is not perfect, but to end this conflict, we must turn off the spigot of Russian fuel sales.

On Friday, Montgomery County rededicated an extraordinary 9/11 memorial by sculptor Sassona Norton — two hands clasping a steel beam from the World Trade Center. This beautiful sculpture was moved to Elmwood Park, with the help of many volunteers, to be more accessible to Montco residents.

On this solemn day, we remember the innocent lives stolen and the first responders who ran toward danger to help. We remember them all as the very best of us. I was grateful to have a moment at Abington's War Memorial Park. Let us all take the time today to reflect. We will never forget.

25 years since the deadliest terrorist attack on American soil. Yet we can recall with intense clarity where we were when we learned of the unfathomable horrors of 9/11.

PFAS has jeopardized our health for years. Now, the Pentagon is delaying cleanups at 243 military sites by up to 19 years. The burden of this Administration's carelessness falls on our service members and communities. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/09/c...

Toxic PFAS Cleanups at Military Sites Face Decades of Delay

Hunger is rising in Montgomery County — for children, seniors, veterans, and families. As SNAP & Medicaid cuts threaten nutrition for our most vulnerable, I’m grateful for the urgent efforts of our food pantries, including the Mattie Dixon Community Cupboard in Ambler.

Unions and laborers built America. Today we recognize the strength, prosperity, and security hard-fought by American workers — from a 40-hour week to healthcare, anti-harassment laws, safe working conditions, and so much more. Happy Labor Day!

Congresswoman Madeleine Dean @repdean.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

Article 1, Section 27 of the PA Constitution is a beautiful amendment — enshrining our right to a clean, safe environment for ourselves and for future generations. We have Sen. Franklin Kury's wisdom and love of our natural resources to thank. He was a giant. May his memory be a blessing.

This week, I introduced legislation to curb ICE's most recent dangerous tactic — shock gloves. This administration provides no oversight as ICE intimidates Americans and immigrant communities. We must end ICE’s excessive and appalling use of force.

Congratulations, Cecily Tynan, on a well‑deserved retirement after 30 years at 6abc Action News! Your enthusiasm, confidence, and help through every storm will be missed. Wishing you an exciting new chapter ahead.

ICE wants to spend $17 million on electric shock gloves — designed to inflict pain at the touch of a hand. Rep. Delia Ramirez and I have a bill to ban them.

A prolific writer, an impassioned speaker, and an unparalleled champion for feminism — Gloria Steinem devoted her life to women’s equality. She helped reshape society, always centering girls’ and women’s rights to choose their own path, their own future.

Congresswoman Madeleine Dean @repdean.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

Yesterday, I spoke with my colleagues on the House floor about a grim milestone: 35 people died in ICE custody last year — the deadliest in two decades. We urge the administration to meet its legal obligations, provide adequate care, and end its inhumane practices before more lives are lost.

Whether in-person or by mail, your right to vote is sacred. I am disturbed by this whistleblower report out of USPS. Trump’s effort to rush new digital mail ballot rules is a blatant attempt to sow chaos ahead of the midterms that jeopardizes millions of votes.

Whistleblower claims USPS plan for Trump's mail voting order could 'derail' midterms

A whistleblower says the U.S. Postal Service is rushing out an online system for President Trump's push to restrict mail voting that could "derail" the midterm election if courts allow it to proceed.

With service members at risk, families strained by rising costs, and allies looking the other way — the President still has no plan.

CARE is dedicated to ending poverty worldwide, with a focus on the rights of women & girls. Grateful to meet with their team as this Administration slashes foreign aid while conducting a reckless war with Iran. We must remain committed to America's global leadership.

Always a joy to be back on a campus — and I was especially eager to visit Kutztown University! Our office supported funding for two KU projects: preserving the Pennsylvania Dutch Sharadin Farmstead and expanding the Engineering & Robotics Lab. Thank you for the tour — and best of luck this year!🐻💛

Our right to vote is secure — nothing has changed about how you’ll cast your ballot in November. Trump, once again, is sowing chaos and confusion for voters. We're pushing back against these orders to ensure that right remains protected.

Saddened to hear of the passing of the legend Dolly Parton. She was a model for work ethic, poise, humor, and style. A true American story. Dolly’s art reached across generations — her boundless generosity touched the lives of thousands. May we all learn from her humility and love for humanity.🤍

The Inflation Reduction Act is our largest climate investment. 🌎 Great to celebrate Springfield Township’s installation of nearly 900 solar panels — made possible by IRA tax credits, state assistance, and county grants. A true example of what happens when every level of government works together.

Fourth-generation, family-owned — Giorgio Mushroom is the largest single location mushroom farm in the U.S. 🍄 Their commitment to producing right here in PA has lasted more than a century. I was delighted to go behind the scenes (and under the hair net!) of their impressive facility in Blandon.

What a joy to catch up with Jax, an impressive advocate for celiac disease research. I first met Jax six years ago on Capitol Hill! He was brave enough to share his experience living with celiac disease to push for stronger gluten free measures in the US. We can learn so much from our children.

I asked AG Todd Blanche one very important question: when will you prosecute those who committed crimes with Jeffrey Epstein? His answer was even more disappointing in private than in public. We must continue to hold this DOJ accountable.

The Trump administration is funneling billions of dollars to ICE — and helping corporations profit by warehousing human beings right here in PA. It’s inhumane, and it must stop.

Kids fighting congenital heart disease — this is who suffers when HHS stops support for science. Local hospitals like CHOP and Penn rely on stable funding for lifesaving treatments. These billion dollar cuts hit families and researchers right here at home.

As we celebrated our nation's 250th anniversary, Trump celebrated the dark one year milestone of the "One Big Beautiful Bill" becoming law. As children go hungry and seniors lose access to care, there is nothing beautiful about it.
