“We shouldn’t have to rely on a gambling company to fund our transit,” Khan said. “That should be the job of our legislature, and we’ve done the hard work in the House.“

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.

🚨 Roxborough neighbors: Did you know Giant is building their new supermarket at the Andorra shopping center using non-union labor? That means local workers are being cut out of good-paying, safe jobs — while Giant profits off our community.

My friend works for Seattle PBS station and they were bracing for the cuts. They won’t be hit as hard as smaller broadcast channels who rely on federal funding for more of their budget. If you’re able, consider being included in the Viewers Like You thanks at the end of shows by pledging a donation

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. .

If $1 bills were stacked from the ground on earth, $3.3 Trillion would nearly get you to the moon. Our tax dollars & benefits going to the ultra-rich. A cosmically bad deal for PA.

Spent the day with Rep Green on the front lines of the DC 33 strike. The position of the Philadelphia House Democratic Delegation is clear— we support the workers on strike, they deserve a fair deal, & this deal needs to get done as soon as possible.

Far from keeping us safe, this bombing bypasses Congress and pulls the US close to another war with no endgame as Netanyahu attempts to hold onto power at all costs. No one voted for this.

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.

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...

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.

Acts of terror, like this antisemitic attack at the Young Diplomats Reception, adds even more trauma to this ongoing conflict and does nothing to advance the needed causes of peace for all in the region and self-determination for the Palestinian people.

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.

Thank you to the neighbors who worked the phone bank tonight to call Congress!! They urged Congress to keep their hands off cuts to Medicaid and Medicare!

We won!! A nationwide preliminary injunction against McMahon's February Dear Colleague letter which tried to stop public schools & higher Ed from teaching honest history or enforcing student civil rights. It’s a win for students, families & educators. democracyforward.org/updates/harm...

In any other time in American history, 1/10th of this scandal would be the end of a presidency. But this is just like a day that ends in Y. This is our life now.

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...

Honored to have received the John J Willard Community Service Award from NorthLight Community Center! Earlier this year we helped secure a $90,000 federal grant for a their summer teen job program. And thank you to Governor Josh Shapiro who saved this grant after it was frozen by the White House!!

To CECOT in El Salvador. Rubio said in February that El Salvador agreed to take US deportees of any nationality, including US citizens. apnews.com/article/migr...

This historic investment will support countless Pennsylvanians for generations – no matter their race or religion. I know Governor Shapiro personally, he has consistently been there for the Muslim community and I proudly stand with him.

Al-Aqsa is a cornerstone for thousands of Pennsylvanians. I am thankful to the Governor for his vision to support the good work of this community center and school. penncapital-star.com/briefs/shapi...

Thank you to all of our neighbors and friends who marched and raised their voices today in Philadelphia and in Washington to speak up against the dismantling of our federal services & basic rights!

Billionaires shouldn’t be able to buy our elections. State Reps Tarik Khan (@reptarikkhan.bsky.social @tarikforpa.bsky.social) and Nate Davidson (@repdavidson.com) are taking action to stop them.

In our country, we stand up for rights, we don’t let others take them away. In light of the anti-trans policies coming out of Washington, now more than ever it’s important our trans community know that we stand with them as we stand with all Americans! #TransDayofVisibility

Like if you are feeling grateful to the man on the left, and are feeling hopeful tonight!!

Join us & SAAFC this Friday in Philly for an inspiring community mixer featuring Sen. @nikilsaval.bsky.social , Councilmember @ninaahmadphl.bsky.social, and Rep. @tarikforpa.bsky.social! Learn about mental health policy & how activism can be a tool for well-being. RSVP: bit.ly/healingthroughaction

Eid Mubarak to all those who celebrate! Earlier this week I joined members of the Governor’s Commission, Secretary Akbar Hussain & other elected officials at the Governor’s Mansion for Governor Josh Shapiro’s Annual Iftar Dinner. Image: Five images from Iftar at Governor’s Shapiros residence

My bipartisan bill addressing food insecurity unanimously passed the PA Judiciary this week! In time of rising prices & cuts to food assitance we need to act now to help families.

Axios now confirming👇🏽what we posted about earlier today: t.co/ZepxZXrQGO Here’s the email we shared that went out from the CEO: www.instagram.com/p/DHtDtAHP7Q...

“Anyone cheering the end of the U.S. Department of Education doesn’t realize just what federal funding helps pay for in every school district in the state." - @repschweyer.com www.lehighvalleynews.com/school-news/...

The Trump regime is terminating funding for vaccinating children in poor, developing countries. Trump is cutting off funding to GAVI, the global vaccine partnership co-founded by Bill Gates. (GAVI provides vaccines as well as other forms of life-saving care in developing regions of the world.)…

Rumeysa Ozturk, a PhD student at Tufts University, was detained March 25 by Department of Homeland Security agents in masks and plainclothes. “We should all be horrified at the way DHS spirited away Rumeysa in broad daylight,” Mahsa Khanbabai, Ozturk’s lawyer, said. wapo.st/3QPfoiA

Video footage obtained by NBC News shows the moment Rumeysa Ozturk was arrested. Oztur is a Turkish national and doctoral student at Tufts University with a valid student visa, her lawyer says.

Despite the chaos in Washington, we are focused on protecting people‘s access to affordable healthcare. That includes making sure healthcare coverage protects patients, not insurance companies. youtube.com/shorts/T4ML6...

They’re not going to get out of this by playing semantics. Sending detailed information about an upcoming military strike on unclassified channels (and even to the wrong guy) is wrong, reckless, and obviously a threat to American troops.

Last night’s wins are a testament that people WANT their elected officials to focus on issues like: lowering prices 🔻 investing in our schools 📚🎓 increasing affordable housing 🏡& healthcare 🩻🩺 protecting our safety 🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒 ensuring a fair shot at the American dream 🇺🇸

In his first week in office, Trump issued a mass firing of inspectors general, including Labor Department IG Larry Turner. On this week’s episode of @revealnews.org's “More To The Story,” Turner tells his full story for the first time.

BREAKING ‼️🚨🚨 PA House Democrats HOLD control of PA State House after winning special election AND PA Senate Dems FLIP Trump +15 district after winning special—moving 1 vote closer to flipping that chamber!! Guess folks don’t like their healthcare & Social Security cut to give the rich tax cuts!

One of the best investments PA can make for our future is investing in childcare & early education. House Democrats are working with the Governor to invest over $55 million to recruit and retain PA’s early childhood education workforce.

Proud to present Chestnut Hill College a check for $40,000 to help prevent sexual assault on campus, along with State Senator Art Haywood

As we mark the ACA’s 15th anniversary, we’re reminded that healthcare is a right—not a privilege—and we must keep fighting to protect and expand the life-changing care that millions rely on. We can’t afford to go backward!

Elon Musk called Social Security a "Ponzi scheme," and wants to fire thousands of workers that keep the program running. That might be easy for a billionaire to say, but Social Security is a lifeline for millions of Americans. We must fight to protect it.

Here in Pittsburgh area to keep the Pa House Blue!! #102 #vote

A friend drove two hours today for her breast cancer chemotherapy only to learn it was canceled due to NIH cuts. Clinical trial ended midstream. No treatment, no restart, no plan, no information. Her bro-in-law's chemo was also canceled.
