The Trump VA continues to undermine my fellow veterans’ hard-earned care. I'm fighting back.

Did you know that while the Trump Administration is cancelling 10% of commercial flights at 40 airports starting today, they are still letting all private jet flights (12% of all US air traffic) fly as normal?

Temps are dropping, but people are getting left out in the cold because the shutdown is delaying LIHEAP money to help pay utility bills, and energy costs are way too high. We've got to get this fixed. I remain ready to hash out a deal in Washington to end the shutdown.

A new Joint Economic Committee Minority report puts hard numbers to the pain we've all been feeling from our electric bills: they're up almost 10% in PA and we're shelling out $170 more per year. Republican politicians in full control of Washington are failing to lower costs.

Airlines using AI to gather personal information—like if people are traveling to a funeral—to jack up prices on desperate people is ridiculous. It’s an unacceptable abuse of corporate power.

I think everyone in Congress should come back to Washington to hash out a deal to end this shutdown & lower costs. But the truth is: if Republican politicians want to re-open the govt without working with Democrats, they can. They already get around the Senate filibuster whenever they want to.

These are the stakes. There's still time to avoid this healthcare cost crisis—but only if Republican Speaker Mike Johnson calls the House back into session and we hash out a deal NOW.

Q: Why do we need to reform the centuries-old Insurrection Act that gives presidents so much power to deploy troops to on American soil? A: 👇

Good, but not enough. We need to get the government back open and funded for every American. www.npr.org/2025/11/03/n...

Trump is abusing his power during the government shutdown to terminate 321 energy projects that would help lower energy costs and create jobs across our country. This job-killing decision goes after $8 billion in projects and will do nothing to make life less of a ripoff for hardworking Americans.

On Friday—hours before courts ordered the Trump Administration to use emergency funds to keep SNAP benefits going out—I volunteered at @412foodrescue.bsky.social to help get food to hungry Western Pennsylvanians. [1/2]

It's not just people who get health insurance from the ACA who are staring down the barrel of huge spikes in their premium costs: Congressional Republicans' refusal to fix this healthcare crisis will have a spillover effect and drive up costs for many more Americans. We can't let that happen.

I've been pushing the Trump Administration to spend stockpiled SNAP emergency funds to help hungry Americans buy food during the government shutdown. Now, the courts are stepping in to make them do it. Good.

Last week, a sixth grader joined a meeting in my office about cleaning up our air. [1/3]

Thousands of Western PA families, including some folks I met with last night, are staring down the barrel of a hunger crisis. They and millions of other Americans are about to miss out on SNAP funds to buy food because of the government shutdown. [1/2]

We shouldn't be in this foolish government shutdown in the first place. Speaker Mike Johnson needs to bring the House back into session so we can hammer out a deal to get federal workers back on the job and paid, and stop rising healthcare costs and missed SNAP funds from pummeling people.

📈 inflation is up, costs are still up, and life is still too expensive these days. I'm in the fight to lower costs—a big part of the answer is putting more muscle into breaking monopoly power and getting more competition in our economy. Oh, and no dumb trade wars!  thehill.com/business/557...

Maybe the United States of America shouldn’t have a healthcare system that bankrupts people who get sick…

Traveling back down to Washington today. Even though Republican Speaker Mike Johnson isn’t having votes in Washington, I'm showing up and ready to work with anyone to end this shutdown, get federal workers paid and back on the job, and stop healthcare costs from spiraling out of control.

SNAP food assistance funding will run out in November because of the shutdown, and millions of Pennsylvanians could go hungry. That's unacceptable to me. [1/2]

Halloween is even more expensive this year thanks to Washington Republicans failing at their jobs to bring down costs. Remember—they have full control, and life is even more of a ripoff than when they took power. tcf.org/content/comm...

Doesn't get much more corrupt than personally shaking down the American people for almost a quarter of a billion dollars in public money.

Seven years ago today, a man armed for killing motivated by antisemitism and hate murdered 11 of our Jewish neighbors at the Tree of Life synagogue in Squirrel Hill.   We remember their lives cut short and recommit to the fights against antisemitism and senseless gun violence.

RFK, Jr. is peddling quack science and it's dangerous.

Every PA House Democrat has called on Speaker Johnson to bring the House back to Washington — and it's time for PA Republicans to join us. I'm leading our Democratic House Delegation to demand that PA Republicans join our call to reopen the House and protect Pennsylvanians.

Thanks to @momscleanairforce.org for coming by my Carnegie office yesterday to talk about how we can do more to clean up our air and keep our families healthy.

Starting in November, the government shutdown will take away desperately needed help buying food from two million Pennsylvanians. Washington Republicans should head back to the Capitol to negotiate with Democrats to re-open the government, protect healthcare, and get food back on families' tables.

Washington Republicans are failing. Prices are still going up. Hiring is slowing down.

If Mike Johnson keeps refusing to call the U.S. House back to Washington, then Donald Trump should negotiate directly with Congressional Democrats on a deal to end the shutdown and stop healthcare costs from exploding.

This is what it looks like when the federal, state, and county governments work together to create union energy jobs and strengthen our energy security. 🤝🔋📈

The President just pardoned a convicted money launderer—Changpeng Zhao—who spent months pumping up the Trump family crypto business. Stinks like corruption to me. www.npr.org/2025/10/24/n...

Pennsylvania farmers need consistent, smart policy from Washington—not bailouts of their Argentinian competition. Check out what the Farm Bureau has to say ⬇️

We're running out of time to stop people from getting clobbered with a spike in healthcare costs. NOW is the time to make a deal to stop this looming healthcare crisis and re-open the government.

This week, many of the 7,000+ federal workers who live in PA-17 will get a $0 paycheck. Let's get these public servants fully paid so they can do their important work and afford their lives. It’s long been time to hash out a deal to lower healthcare costs and re-open the government.

Thanks to the more than 12,000 people who joined my Telephone Town Hall. Even during the ongoing government shutdown, my office is open and working for Western Pennsylvanians. ICYMI, you can catch up on the conversation here ⬇️

It's been more than a month since Republican Speaker Mike Johnson sent the House of Representatives home and forced a government shutdown. He needs to bring the U.S. House back into session so that we can stop healthcare costs from soaring, re-open the government, and release the Epstein Files.

Life is already too expensive. Republican politicians who have full control of Washington need to work with Democrats to lower healthcare costs, extend ACA tax credits, and re-open our government. More: deluzio.house.gov/media/press-... @ace-innamorato.bsky.social @repvenkat.com

This is big—lots of new, union, clean energy jobs are coming to Marshall Township. I've toured Eos' impressive plant in East Pittsburgh, and I'm looking forward to seeing this facility up and running in PA's 17th Congressional District.

Tonight, I met with Western Pennsylvanians who get their healthcare through Pennie. They are some of the 22 million Americans who are facing big hikes in the cost of their health insurance premiums unless Congress acts. [1/2]

Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square, but 28 days later, Republican Speaker Mike Johnson still won't swear her in because he wants to block a vote on releasing the Epstein files. [1/2]

It's the same story in towns all over Western PA and the Rust Belt: bad trade deals strip communities for parts and offshore solid, American manufacturing jobs in the endless lust for corporate profits.

President Trump has no authority to send Americans to invade Venezuela and start a war. Any decision to go to war rests with the Congress, which means having an open debate where the American people have a say—and none of that has happened.

We've got an economy that is not working for a lot of people. The American middle class was long the envy of the world—but the vast middle class is shrinking away. It should be a national mission to pump muscle back into the American Dream and unrig our economy.

Joe is spot on: politicizing our military is dangerous. We need to rein in presidential power to abuse the Insurrection Act—and I'm leading a bill to do just that.

Three years ago today, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette newsroom workers went on strike to demand basic healthcare benefits, fair pay, and dignity on the job. It's the longest ongoing strike in America.

This isn't complicated. Speaker Johnson needs to call his Republican Members of Congress back to Washington. Let's hammer out a deal to get the government back open.

Lower healthcare costs. Re-open the government. Do what's best for the country.

Why in the world would you threaten good PA energy jobs and investments?
