Team, this summer, Mad has been holding the Trump administration accountable through her role on the House Appropriations Committee.

From questioning political appointees to pushing for transparency, she’s showing the kind of leadership that Pennsylvania — and our country — needs right now. Here’s a look at some of her recent work:

Pressing Pam Bondi

Madeleine challenged Pam Bondi on her record and priorities. Mad pushed hard on her ties to Qatar. Watch more here.

“This is so outside the committee’s guidelines. Taking a personal shot at me while swiping at Biden. Very strange and very unprofessional of you. The answer is yes or no, and the answer is yes, you were registered as a lobbyist for Qatar.”

Questioning Kash Patel

She confronted former Trump aide and current FBI director, Kash Patel, on his role in undermining our institutions, putting political vendettas ahead of American safety, and his qualifications for this role. Watch the full video here.

“I am concerned that your eagerness and childlike giddiness to carry out the president’s revenge tour have shown you to be unserious. In your statements before you were sworn in and some after, you have shown yourself unfit to lead this important agency.”

Holding RFK Jr. Accountable

Madeleine pushed back against misinformation from Robert F. Kennedy Jr., reinforcing the need for truth and science in public policy – and questioned RFK Jr. on his absurd cuts to addiction treatment programs. Watch the full video here.

“A 27% reduction in overdose deaths in this country. Overdose is still stealing a generation in this country. So why in God's name are we shuttering SAMHSA?”

Calling Out Linda McMahon

She pressed former WWE CEO and current Education Secretary, Linda McMahon, on shuttering the Department of Education and why she even has this job. Watch the full video here.

“Why in God’s name do you want to shutter it [the Department of Education]? Why don’t you want to protect kids with disabilities, kids who have been denied every access simply because of how much their parents make, or the color of their skin? Why are you shuttering a Department that is supposed to lift up those children?”

Challenging Howard Lutnick

Last but not least, Mad questioned Secretary Lutnick on the impending tariff war and the instability it is bringing to our economy. You may have seen this clip going around online.

Howard Lutnick probably thought he was being clever when he said: “There’s no uncertainty that if you build in America and produce your product in America, there will be no tariff.”

That’s when Mad held up a banana and followed up with: “We cannot build bananas in America.”

"I believe you know better. I believe you recognize that a trade deficit is not something to fear. I believe you know that predictability, stability are essential for businesses. I wish you would show that truth to this administration."

Mad isn’t afraid to ask tough questions or demand accountability — no matter who’s in front of her. That’s the kind of work we need more of in Washington.
