Democratic Congresswoman Summer Lee (D-Allegheny) confronted ex-WWE CEO and current Department of Education Secretary Linda McMahon about the 2020 election results during a contentious US House hearing on Wednesday.

Lee asked McMahon if teaching the accurate results of the 2020 election was an “illegal DEI.” McMahon refused to answer the question.

The question comes after Oklahoma became the first state to add the conspiracy theory that President Donald Trump won the 2020 election to their history curriculum.

High school teachers in the state will teach students about debunked conspiracies surrounding non-existent mail-in voter fraud.

State Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta (D-Philadelphia) called out supposed pro-life lawmakers for supporting Medicaid cuts that could potentially kill people.

Kenyatta spoke at a press conference outside of the Pennsylvania State Capitol in Harrisburg on Monday, responding to remarks made by US Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa), who doubled down on a town hall statement that death is inevitable and to embrace Christianity.

Ernst told constituents,“Well, we are all going to die” after being confronted about her support for President Donald Trump’s budget bill, which includes a $700 billion cut to Medicaid.

Medicaid supports over 3 million Pennsylvanians and funds 34% of all births throughout the state. Over 340,000 residents could lose health care coverage as a result of these cuts.

US Rep. Scott Perry’s (R-York) constituents reacted to a statement he made claiming no one will lose Medicaid coverage if they legitimately need it.

However, millions of Americans will lose their health care coverage if the US Senate approves an $800 billion Medicaid policy that lays out new work requirements.

Those covered by the bill would have to work a minimum of 80 hours a month and prove that they are working every six months.

According to the Center for American Progress, close to 340,000 Pennsylvanians may lose their coverage, including over 20,000 residents living in Perry’s district.

Over 100 of Republican US Rep. Scott Perry’s constituents delivered letters to his Mechanicsburg office on Wednesday after he voted last week to cut Medicaid funding by $800 billion.

Susan Roller, a retired teacher, explained how Perry ignores his constituents and hasn’t held an in-person town hall meeting since July 2019.

There are over 20,000 residents living in Perry’s district who are at risk of losing their health care coverage thanks to his vote.
