Our military servicemembers are working without pay. Federal services are delayed or suspended and everyday Americans are in limbo, wondering if they’ll be able to afford health insurance next year.

Republicans would rather keep the government shut down than extend ACA credits so people can keep their health insurance. While they're on vacation, my offices are open and we are ready to serve the people of PA-06.

Women can and do bring the warrior ethos to their military service, and Pete Hegesth's opinions on the matter do not change the facts.

This banned books week, I am proud to lead the Stop Censoring Military Families Act with @raskin.house.gov. This legislation would restore all books removed from Department of Defense Education Activity (DODEA) schools by the Trump Administration and protect school curricula from political changes.

On October 7, 2023, Hamas terrorists brutally attacked Israel, killing and kidnapping innocent people. Two years later, the pain and grief from that day are still present, while hostages still remain in captivity.

Chag Sameach and happy Sukkot to all that are celebrating this week!

Always good to talk with Julie Mason on SiriusXM Politics. We covered the government shutdown and last Monday's strange pep rally with Secretary Hegseth. Listen below! www.siriusxm.com/clips/clip/f...

Town Hall no. 102 is tonight in Downingtown! I'll be joined by a panel of experts as we take your questions on the Republican budget. Doors open at 5:00 pm and seats are available on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Wishing all who are observing Yom Kippur a meaningful fast and a restful day.

I've seen some confusion – and some anger – across social media about this shutdown. And rightfully so. But I'm hoping to clear up a few things:

Join me tomorrow at 6:00 PM in person at CCIU Downingtown or via livestream to discuss the Republican budget and shutdown.

Visit the link in my bio to read today's newsletter on what the Republican Shutdown means for healthcare, veterans' benefits, social services and more.

"Sec Hegseth summoning hundreds of general officers & flag officers from around the world ... on the eve of a Republican-led government shutdown to promote a regressive culture war is a staggering & unacceptable waste of time, money & resources." - @adamsmith.house.gov and @houlahan.house.gov

Democrats are here and ready to work across the aisle for a budget that protects people’s healthcare.

Join me this Thursday in Downingtown, where I'll be talking about the Republican budget and dispelling myths about its impact on healthcare, education, and the economy. You can also join via livestream at townhall.ciccu.org. Hope to see you there!

The Republicans' Big Ugly Bill is now law. With nearly $1 trillion in healthcare cuts, 15 million Americans could lose coverage, while premiums are set to skyrocket by 75% or more. Americans shouldn’t have to pay the price for reckless, partisan politics.

Civics 101: Republicans control all three branches of government. It's their responsibility to pass a budget. The Republican shutdown will hurt everyday Americans, including 270,000 Pennsylvanians who are at risk of losing Pennie coverage with skyrocketing premiums.

Two of the four men responsible for mass shootings over the weekend are veterans. Earlier this year President Trump cut 30K VA employees, many of them hired to work on mental health services, substance abuse and homelessness.

Join us this week in Downingtown for town hall number 102. I'll be answering your questions on how the Republican budget affects families and businesses in PA-06.

Risking a government shutdown is bad enough. Risking a government shutdown that will deprive millions of Americans of healthcare to give fat tax breaks to corporations and billionaires is even worse.

Earlier this month, I was happy to welcome Spring City Mayor Adam Alberico and Royersford Fire Chief Kevin Kerwin to my D.C. office. Thank you both for stopping by and for your continued commitment to our community and public service!

I met with local union leaders recently to hear their concerns about this administration’s anti-worker policies. I proudly stand with our unions and will continue working to enforce labor protections, fair contracts, and family sustaining wages.

From national parks to neighborhood parks, our public lands are valuable resources. On this National Public Lands Day, I hope you're able to get out and experience some of the wonderful parks and trails throughout PA-06!

Big paws to fill as the Reading Fire Department retired their beloved K9, Gracie. After seven years of service and assisting at more than 275 fire scenes, this hometown hero enjoyed a retirement party and can now get some rest. Thank you, Gracie!

We are only days away from a Republican Shutdown. If they won't come to the table, hospitals across PA will close and people in Chester and Berks counties will see their premiums skyrocket. It's a simple ask: protect healthcare and keep hospitals open.

Republicans would rather shut down the entire government than protect people’s healthcare. They have 4️⃣ more days to work with Democrats and pass a budget that works for the American people. keystonenewsroom.com/2025/09/24/p...

The majority of calls coming into my office right now are about the Republican Budget and how it will impact our community. Join me and my expert guests on Thursday, October 2 at 6:00 PM for a town hall to discuss this and more, from healthcare and education to inflation and rising unemployment.

If you take $140 billion away and then give $50 billion back, that's not an "historic investment"-- that's a $90 billion CUT! Math never lies. penncapital-star.com/health/no-on...

AmeriCorps has instilled the value of public service in nearly one million volunteers since its founding 32 years ago. Here’s to many more years of getting things done for America!

Attention all high school students interested in applying to a military service academy: we are hosting an information session on Thursday evening at Downingtown STEM Academy. Please RSVP if you plan to attend!

We stand together to condemn political violence. Before anything else, we are Americans with a shared love of our country. We must unite in pursuit of civility and decency.

Pete Hegseth is doing everything he can to push women out of the military. He's fired, demoted and intimated the women who serve our country in uniform. Now he's doing what he can to make sure women don't even consider signing up to serve. Nearly one hundred years of effort and investment wasted.

The Republicans refuse to address their massive healthcare cuts that will drive costs up while eliminating critical services. Democrats asked for a bipartisan negotiation to reverse the cuts to Medicaid and protects the ACA tax credits.

My 102nd town hall is Thursday, October 2 in Downingtown! I'll be taking your questions about the Republican budget bill. Stay tuned for more details!

Scientific misinformation is dangerous and irresponsible. As always, any decisions about your health and courses of treatment should be made with your doctor. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/09...

Today is National Business Women's Day. The bad news is that women are leaving or being forced out of the workplace at record numbers right now. This is a major economic problem and highlights again the critical need for child and elder care and paid family leave.

Reading residents: please be aware that the Social Security field office is temporarily closed while undergoing HVAC repairs. You can still reach the office at 866-274-5960 or can find another office at ssa.gov/locator.
