In PA we’re doing the work to ensure our kids are going to safe schools. My bill with Rep Fiedler, Powell and Probst will assess our public schools and help them get up to code so that all kids are healthy & safe at school.

While Washington is stuck in dysfunction, taking away healthcare, we’re working together in Harrisburg — Democrats & Republicans — to keep communities safe. My bipartisan bill w/ Rep. Young cracks down on human trafficking & protects survivors. Safety should never be partisan. youtu.be/_ecs7gUqPXE

Heartbroken by the tragedy in York County, where three officers were killed and two others seriously wounded while serving a warrant. My deepest condolences go to the families of the fallen, and my prayers are with the injured for a full recovery.

Go Birds!! 🦅 Thanks to FanDuel for tonight’s SEPTA express — but we shouldn’t need a gambling company to fund public transit. Senate Republicans: do your job and fund SEPTA.

Capped off a day fighting for SEPTA funding and healthcare access on a panel hosted by Rep. Ben Waxman. SEPTA is a lifeline — and Senate Republicans need to fund it Image: With Reps Burgos, Waxman, Shusterman, Hohenstein and transit activist Connor D.

SEPTA is on the chopping block. The 32 & 65 bus will be cut on Monday and service on other lines will be cut. Senate Republicans must do their job. #septa #philly #transit

Philadelphia can’t afford higher SEPTA 🚍 fares or a 50% cut in service. Senate Republicans can stop it. 📞 Call the Senate today — tell them to pass a budget that fully funds #SEPTA. 12 days left.

Washington’s big budget bill hurts families across Pennsylvania – taking away health insurance and assistance from those who need it the most.

Don’t let the dysfunction in DC fool you – government can work for the people when we allow it. My bipartisan bill (now a law!) will help thousands of food insecure Pennsylvanians with one simple common-sense change. www.fox43.com/article/news...

Washington’s big bill delivers cuts to taxes for multimillionaires by taking away healthcare from 300,000 Pennsylvania’s and SNAP from 140,000 residents. The law also explodes the national debt to pay for these massive tax cuts for billionaires by $3.3 trillion. .

My bipartisan food donation bill has been signed into law by Gov. Josh Shapiro! (@governor.pa.gov) This law will help Pennsylvanians get access to food and is especially important as Washington is set to make devastating cuts to SNAP & food stamps, & as neighbors continue to face rising food costs.

BREAKING: The PA Senate unanimously passed my food donation bill , and it now heads to Governor Shapiro‘s desk!! Our bill will help some of the 1.2 million Pennsylvanians facing food insecurity to access donated foods, including over 300,000 kids!

Famous 4th Street Cookies in East Falls is creating jobs, investing locally, and bakes cookies that tastes like mom made them. Let’s keep supporting small businesses that give back to our communities.

Instead of deescalating the situation in Iran, President Trump’s bombing of Iran is exactly the type of aggression Netanyahu wanted to pull the US into— and broke yet another promise by the president to be a peacemaker.

Proud to have helped lead the passage of the bill to raise the minimum wage through the PA House! Thank you Rep Green, Rep Dawkins, our leadership team and our union colleagues for your incredible work moving this forward. Our low wage workers desperately need this raise!!

My bipartisan bill protecting nurses and other hospital workers in the operating room passed the HHS committee in the Senate and now goes to the full Senate for consideration! This bill is now one potentially step away from getting to Governor Shapiro‘s desk to become law.

Despite hot weather, rain, sleet, snow, or freezing cold, AFSCME DISTRICT COUNCIL 33 always gets the job done. Sadly, many of their workers are not paid a living wage.

What happened to Hahnemann just happened to Crozer in DelCo. Greedy, private corporations looting our hospitals for personal gain.

I am working hard to ensure our elections in PA remain free and fair. I passed a bipartisan bill through the House Communications & Technology Committee this week to help protect our elections from the deceptive use of AI with Republican Rep Shaffer, 26-0. youtube.com/shorts/_RptN...

Cyber charter schools must be accountable. I proudly voted for reform to protect public schools and support our kids. #CyberCharterReform

Today I surprised two of our great local teachers with citations from Harrisburg for winning the prestigious Lindback Award! Congratulations Ms Boyd from Mifflin and Ms Straface from Dobson!! Thank you to all of our teachers for your selfless work!!!

We can not allow private equity and private corporations to pillage and close down our community hospitals. Proud to help lead the effort with Rep.Borowski to save our community hospitals. Our bipartisan bill just advanced out of the PA Health Committee. youtube.com/shorts/iI_Oo...

“I’m leading the bipartisan effort to improve people’s access to healthcare by getting nurse practitioners full practice authority along with Rep Nancy Guenst. It’s past time we get this done!”

Another horrible terror attack on innocent lives, this time on a group of older Jewish adults advocating for Hamas to release hostages. This antisemitic attack does nothing to advance the needed cause of peace in the Middle East and self-determination for Palestinians.

Congratulations to the Scouts from 334 who moved up in rank this weekend, including those earning their Arrow of Light badge! The 7 rays on the rising sun logo signify the values of justice, self-control, confidence, hope,, faith, love and wisdom— values we should all strive for 7 days a week!

Interfaith trip to Spain with Muslims, Jews & Christians learning about our shared culture and history in Cordoba, Toledo, Seville & Granada!

Disgusted and saddened by the horrific killings at the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington. Praying for the families of the two Israeli embassy members who were murdered.

The FDA will permit Covid vaccines only for adults over 65 and those with certain medical conditions in the fall, according to new regulatory standards.

The story of how much cancer research is being intentionally dismantled is hugely undercovered. Thi matters to so many people but we are failing to tell the story clearly. So great to see this.

Many young Americans’ lives are being ruined by sports & online betting companies, who are relentless in sucking people into gambling. Proud to have passed this bipartisan legislation to study ways to protect Pennsylvanias from the harms of sports & online betting.

SEPTA funding is essential to keep Pennsylvania’s economy running. Yesterday, we welcomed unionized workers from SEPTA and Pittsburgh Regional Transit to call on the state to fully fund public transit. #savethetrain

My father came here inspired by JFK and the American dream. I still believe in the vision of a country that takes care of its people and cherishes freedom.

Saul High School Country Fair Day!

Today I cast a deciding vote to pass the adult use cannabis bill in the PA House! This bill, by Rep Krajewski and Frankel, adds critical safeguards to protect kids from the product and to protect the health and safety of the public. youtu.be/x5H2h1-z9yY

I fully support the legalization of adult use cannabis. With 1 out of 2 adults having used cannabis, it’s time we begin to regulate and control this product — and generate much needed income from it here in PA.

Torpedo bat has arrived! Born & raised in PA!

Over a million Pennsylvanians lack access to safe and nutritious foods due to issues like high costs, low wages and poverty. Yesterday my bipartisan bill to help more families access foods passed unanimously through the Pennsylvania House and now heads to the Senate! www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpT8...

From a conversation about faith with @governor.pa.gov in 2008 to shared service in 2024, this piece by @reptarikkhan.bsky.social captures what public leadership rooted in values can look like—even in the face of hate. www.inquirer.com/opinion/comm...

Morning the loss of Pope Francis. His inspirational life modeled service, love and compassion. Things we need more of in these times. He will be greatly missed.

Inspired by my friend Gov Josh Shapiro & his family who despite an attack on their lives are choosing to see light in this moment of darkness. My OpEd in the Philadelphia Inquirer www.inquirer.com/opinion/comm...

Pennsylvania is 1 of 25 states that uses Direct File to file taxes for free. Big companies like TurboTax and H&R Block lobbied against it. Instead of helping people, this helps corporations and will make it harder for hundreds of thousands of taxpayers across 🔴 ➕ 🔵 states.

We cannot state this clearly enough: What the Trump administration is doing to Kilmar Abrego Garcia is both illegal and morally reprehensible. Senator Van Hollen is going to El Salvador to fight for his return and stand up to Donald Trump's cruelty and lawlessness.

At a time of rising costs, the last thing we need are higher fares & service cuts to SEPTA. We need to invest in public transit. Our budget will fund SEPTA and prevent devastating cuts for riders and workers, including @twu234. I will vote “YES” to fund SEPTA! youtube.com/shorts/Sa6h8...

Breaking News: Mohsen Mahdawi, a Columbia student activist who is a legal permanent resident, was arrested by ICE at a meeting he thought was a step to becoming a U.S. citizen. nyti.ms/4cxlwG4

Horrified to hear about the cowardly act of arson at the official residence of @governorshapiro that occurred during the early hours of Passover. Grateful that the Governor and his family are safe & thankful for the quick actions of our @PAStatePolice

The cost of living is through the roof, and our home care workers deserve a living wage. Proud to stand with home care workers and Rep. Maureen Madden advocating for higher wages. youtube.com/shorts/bURge...
