I will not stand by as these AI companies try to take advantage of vulnerable Pennsylvanians and let their chatbots pose as licensed medical professionals. We're suing to hold them accountable.

If you know me, you know I’m competitive as hell. Right now, all of our neighboring states are out-competing us when it comes to the minimum wage — using their higher hourly wage to attract more workers and do more business. So let’s raise our minimum wage to $15/hour — and keep competing.

Under my watch, Pennsylvania has seen record economic growth. Since I took office, we’ve created over 23,000 jobs and secured over $41 billion in private sector investments (more than the previous 15 years combined!)

I’m blessed to celebrate the three wonderful moms in my life today.  My mother, Judi, a true public servant who advocated for others, fought for children, and raised me to do the same.

To every member of the PA State Police: Thank you for your service to our Commonwealth.

NEW: Today, I sent a letter to USDA Secretary Rollins, urging her to issue a disaster declaration for Pennsylvania specialty crop ag producers who have been devastated by this year’s crop freeze.

The sudden freezing temperatures that passed through Pennsylvania just a few weeks ago hit our Commonwealth’s farmers hard. Many are losing most, if not all, of their crops. That means hundreds of millions of dollars in losses.

Repairing a fire hall or buying a new truck is expensive — and right now, our fire companies don’t have enough funding to cover expenses that are essential to protecting Pennsylvanians.

Since eliminating the college degree requirement for state government jobs, nearly 60% of our new hires don’t have a college degree. If you have the skills we’re looking for and want to serve the good people of Pennsylvania, we’re not going to let a college degree stand in the way.

I’m proud of the investments we’ve made to expand mental health services in our schools. Our support has helped nearly 800 schools get more of those services to our kids.

It was an honor to join the families of our fallen heroes at this year's Philadelphia Fraternal Order of Police Lodge #5 Survivors Luncheon as we remember their loved ones' sacrifice — and reaffirm our support for them and every member of law enforcement.

We have a responsibility to give our kids the skills they need to succeed — inside and outside the classroom.

We will not allow companies to take advantage of vulnerable Pennsylvanians' mental health — and we're suing to hold Character.AI accountable.

NEW: We’re investing $10 million in seven projects across Pennsylvania through our Mixed-Use Development Pilot Program.

Our teachers are true public servants — literally shaping the future of our Commonwealth each and every day. This Teacher Appreciation Day, I want our educators to know: I see the difference you’re making in our kids’ lives and in our communities. And I will always have your back.

Our team at @pastatepolice.bsky.social is investigating multiple unfounded threats at high schools across Pennsylvania today. These reports are products of cruel swatting incidents — when someone calls in a fake threat to induce panic.

NEW: The Pennsylvania House passed another key reform from my Housing Action Plan — a statewide cap on rental application fees.

For 121 years, the men and women of the @pastatepolice.bsky.social have carried on a legacy of service to our Commonwealth — putting on the uniform and answering the call to protect and serve Pennsylvanians.

To every @pastatepolice.bsky.social family mourning the loss of a loved one — and to every trooper and law enforcement officer serving and protecting our communities: Thank you. We see and honor your sacrifices, and we have your backs here in Pennsylvania.

BREAKING: I just took legal action in the Supreme Court to protect access to medication abortion.

Last month, Pennsylvania's Commonwealth Court struck down a state ban on Medicaid coverage for abortion care.

I want every firefighter and their families to know that we’ve got their backs here in Pennsylvania — not just with our words, but with our actions.

Abortion is health care. That includes medication abortion. And despite yesterday’s ruling, abortion — and mifepristone — remain legal here in Pennsylvania.

I was humbled to join IAFF Local No. 1 as we dedicated the first memorial to honor all 138 of Pittsburgh’s fallen firefighters who have made the ultimate sacrifice protecting this community.

Gutting the Voting Rights Act is just the latest attempt by Donald Trump and his enablers to undermine our democratic process — this time, by attempting to silence millions of Black and brown Americans who have a right to make their voices heard.

Whether you’re a student in the classroom, a new mom suffering from postpartum depression, or just struggling with your mental health — you deserve to get the help you need.

BREAKING: Pennsylvania has collected $1 billion more revenue than projected so far this fiscal year. There are no excuses — our Commonwealth has the resources to continue cutting costs, improving our schools, expanding our workforce, and growing our economy here in Pennsylvania.

Expanding our workforce and creating more economic opportunity starts with respecting every path to success. Whether you want to go to college, join the military, head straight into the workforce, or enroll in an apprenticeship program after high school — we’ve got your back.

Our Commonwealth is home to over half a million Pennsylvanians who trace their ancestry to Asia and the Pacific Islands.

The NFL made the right choice in choosing the Steel City to host this year’s NFL Draft. But I’ve got good news: Pittsburgh’s rise is only beginning. Stay tuned.

Here in Pennsylvania, there’s no challenge too big for us to solve — including the housing crisis.

Since I took office, we’ve cut red tape and sped up permitting times for small business owners, nurses, and farmers — helping people get into the career they love quicker and helping new businesses open their doors sooner.

BREAKING: Our plan to make sure every Pennsylvanian has access to high-speed, affordable internet by 2030 was just approved.

NEW: We just announced $267 million in RISE PA grants to support our manufacturing sector and 31 Pennsylvania companies — saving them over $3.1 million in energy costs and keeping 1.3 million metric tons of pollution out of our air.
