I am alarmed by the increasing attacks on freedom of the press in Egypt, which recently charged multiple journalists, including Lina Attalah, the editor of independent media outlet Mada Masr, on politically motivated grounds.

I join @RMGregoryMeeks and @HFACDems in calling for Egypt to immediately reverse the closure of Mada Masr, halt its attacks on the free press, and release these wrongfully detained journalists.

Last week, Americans made their voices heard — no more chaos, corruption, or cruelty.

Families deserve lower costs, quality healthcare, and a government that works for them.

It’s time to rebuild, renew, and deliver for the American people.

[Congresswoman Madeleine Dean @RepDean]

Our national security must never come second to politicians’ personal interests.

[Congresswoman Madeleine Dean @RepDean]

The best way to honor our veterans is to guarantee all the benefits they have so rightly earned.

Today's passage of the Major Richard Star Act will help ensure that.

[Congresswoman Madeleine Dean @RepDean]

As we honor America's veterans today, I was grateful to visit the newly-dedicated Desert Shield and Desert Storm memorial on the National Mall, and to meet some Gulf War veterans from Pennsylvania and Maryland.

I thank Brian, John, Chris, and Carmello, as well as all our nation's veterans, for their selfless service.

[Congresswoman Madeleine Dean @RepDean]

Americans voted for affordability and accountability, and I look forward to working alongside our many new members to deliver on just that.

[Congresswoman Madeleine Dean @RepDean]

Americans elected a historic Democratic majority to focus on affordability and accountability. We will.

Happy Diwali!

May this Festival of Lights bring an abundance of light, happiness, and prosperity.

[Congresswoman Madeleine Dean @RepDean]

I'm guided by my faith — including the call to feed the hungry.

In Montgomery County, 85,000 people face hunger. SNAP and Medicaid cuts have deepened the hurt of our most vulnerable. We must do better.

That's why I was moved to speak with the Montco Anti-Hunger Network, more than 70 food pantries dedicated to feeding our neighbors. Thank you for your truly tireless advocacy.

[Congresswoman Madeleine Dean @RepDean]

I am disturbed by reports that businesses in Philadelphia are being targeted for boycotts because they have Jewish owners.

We are guaranteed the right to peaceful protest and to freedom of speech. It is fundamental to who we are as Americans. That includes the freedom to oppose the war in Gaza, and the actions of the Netanyahu government.

Yet we must speak clearly when confronted with blatant antisemitism. Targeting businesses simply because they are owned by Jews — and on the eve of Kristallnacht, when Nazis terrorized Jewish families, businesses and synagogues — is unacceptable.

I believe protesting in this way is harmful and misguided, and I urge the organizers to desist.

[Congresswoman Madeleine Dean @RepDean]

It's time to talk about what comes next.

Looking forward to our conversation, today at 3:00 PM ET!

[Timothy Snyder @TimothyDSnyder]

"Now We Act" – a new series in conversation with American elected officials on "Thinking About..."
We will talk about the chance the Democrats have to effect a political and a systemic realignment – laying foundations for policies that will make daily life more prosperous, rewarding, and free.

[Congresswoman Madeleine Dean @RepDean]

It continues to be the greatest and most solemn privilege of my life to serve Berks and Montgomery Counties.

Thank you for entrusting me with another term representing Pennsylvania’s Fourth Congressional District.

Last night was a resounding rejection of the chaos, corruption, cruelty that has afflicted families throughout our district. And it was a message of hope and of clarity.

I will carry this with me into the next Congress. And I will continue to fight for our neighbors — especially in bringing resources back to our communities — while always keeping our common humanity, decency, and goodness at the core of this work.

Thank you. 🇺🇸

Our seniors deserve to live comfortably and to age with dignity.

So, I was glad to secure Community Project Funding for the Montgomery County Housing Authority to make ADA upgrades to their residences.

And it was a joy to visit Lee Towers in Conshohocken to see these improvements realized!

[Congresswoman Madeleine Dean @RepDean]

Early in my time in Congress, the late Elijah Cummings shared with me a message of hope.

Let's remember we all have a stake in our democracy, and every voice deserves to be heard.

Government has a role to play in ensuring families can access healthy food.

As our region confronts rising levels of hunger — in large part to SNAP cuts — we must do better for our most vulnerable.

Thanks to FoodTank & WHYY for a conversation on nutrition and federal policy.

[Congresswoman Madeleine Dean @RepDean]

Children belong in classrooms and playgrounds, not in for-profit detention centers.

Kids have a right to an education in the United States, but this administration will go to extreme lengths to deny it to them.

[Congresswoman Madeleine Dean @RepDean]

PA leads the nation in measles cases. 5 people have died.

Governor Shapiro has taken this threat seriously, RFK Jr. has not.

We cannot let this administration’s disregard for science reverse decades of public health progress.

[Congresswoman Madeleine Dean @RepDean]

With voting underway across the country, Pennsylvania voters have until 5:00 PM today to request a mail-in ballot.
