Over-incarceration clogs courts, wastes money, and doesn’t stop repeat crime. Diversion programs work because they focus on accountability and the root causes of crime. My resolution studies how to expand and improve diversion across PA and it just passed the Judiciary Committee!

When government power goes unchecked, it’s the people who pay the price. That’s why showing up matters, because silence allows harm to continue. #ice #accountability

RFK Jr. was in Harrisburg today. I spoke at the counter-rally with other health professionals and organized labor because health coverage, food security, vaccine access, and life-saving research are being weakened. When policies hurt patients, it’s time to speak up and change course.

Violence by federal agents in Minnesota is taking innocent lives, including ICU nurse Alex Pretti. Our PA House resolution today calls on Congress to ensure accountability comes before more funding. #minneapolis #accountability #AlexPretti #ReneeNicoleGood #ice

Dr. King fought for dignity at work. It’s time Pennsylvania did too. Sign the petition to raise the #minimumwage www.pahouse.com/green

If you’re counting down the Top 10, this is your sign 👀 Today’s the last day of the PA Farm Show, and its open until 5 PM, free admission, at the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex. Fun guaranteed. 🐄🐰🎉

Late last night, someone painted racist graffiti, including swastikas, at Roxborough High School. Let me be clear: targeting students in the middle of the night is cowardice, and it does not define us. Our community is bigger than a racist, and one who cannot even spell at that.

War requires Congress, even against ruthless dictators like Nicolás Maduro. This looks more like a power play over oil than a plan to keep Americans safe. We should be lowering costs at home, not creating crises abroad.

I spoke with @thenewrepublic.bsky.social about how Wall Street profits are closing community hospitals… and what we can do in Harrisburg to stop it.

They say “You are why we fly.” Here’s what they’re not saying… @unitehere.org

Pennsylvania State Rep. @tarikforpa.bsky.social (D-Philadelphia) said with the $230 million Trump wants from the DOJ, he would -Fully fund food banks, schools after-school programs -Rebuild libraries, rec centers and civic buildings -Rebuild Manayunk, PA infrastructure

Apprenticeships mean good union jobs. I toured the Sheet Metal Workers Local 19 Training Center today, where the PA budget invests in apprenticeships because good union careers lead to opportunity and a better future. Image: Observing instructor operate laser cutter with @repgregscott

💵 Up to $800 back for working families. That’s the Working PA Tax Credit. Dr. Dalembert from CHOP explains how ⬇️

Showed my childhood friend Rep Solomon some of my favorite local spots 😋 The budget we passed together cuts taxes for small business & puts $20M to help PA’s Main Streets flourish!

Wissahickon Transit Center is now open!! 🚉 Shaped by neighbors, built by union labor, delivered by SEPTA, funded by the state. This is real transit investment, now let’s make it permanent.

Let’s be clear—this didn’t happen by accident. Republicans are holding the government hostage to protect billionaires and corporations while working families pay more for healthcare, rent, and groceries. That’s the real cost of their shutdown shenanigans.

Great day knocking doors in Bucks County to get out the vote for Democrats up and down the ballot. Like our 3 Supreme Court Justices— and my brother Joe Khan for DA. Vote YES on judicial retention on or before November 4th!!

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.

“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.

At Roxborough High School orientation. Welcome class of 2029!!! Image: With students and staff at Roxborough High School

🚨 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...

Perspective from @tarikforpa.bsky.social: It’s time to Washington-proof your health care www.cityandstatepa.com/opinion/2025...

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...

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

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
