Merry Christmas, Pennsylvania! 🎄🎁🧑🎄   Lori and I hope today is filled with togetherness, love, and joy.

Tonight in Bristol, our first responders displayed extraordinary courage as they bravely ran towards danger to get residents, their loved ones, and staff at Silver Lake Nursing Home to safety.

Philly is literally the birthplace of American freedom — with America’s 250th birthday and some of the biggest sporting events of the year coming to our Commonwealth, no wonder we’re one of the top travel destinations in 2026.

And it’s never going to happen.

Just over a year ago, we announced a $600 million investment to revitalize Downtown Pittsburgh. Now, we’re seeing our work begin to pay off. That’s called GSD.

BREAKING: We just won in court to stop the Trump Administration from revoking millions of dollars in homeland security grants — including $18 million for the Philadelphia region — that were legally owed to our Commonwealth.

Let me know in the comments how many of these Pennsylvania holiday traditions you’ve done this year – happy holidays, Pennsylvania!

When Donald Trump was in Pennsylvania, he said that Democrats are the “enemy of the working class.” I’ll put up my record on affordability against Donald Trump’s any day of the week.

Pennsylvania’s main streets are lined with small businesses that have something for every person on your holiday list this season. If you still have gifts to get before Christmas, I hope you’ll get out there and check out your community’s small businesses during this season of giving.

We’re nearly a year into Donald Trump’s second term, and it’s no question that Pennsylvanians are worse off because of it.

It’s people like Wes whose stories drive me and @RepKyleMullins to do this work every day. I know he would be proud that we got this done.

Pennsylvanians are smarter than Donald Trump gives us credit for.

Ready for another year of GSD.

Our main streets and the small businesses that line them form the backbone of our communities — especially during the holidays.

We're putting more money back in student teachers’ pockets, tackling the teacher workforce shortage, and ensuring more students have access to quality public education here in Pennsylvania.

Last year we tripled the Child Care Tax Credit, putting more money back in the pockets of our moms and dads so they can afford child care.

And don't you forget it...

The holidays are about giving back – and lending a hand to our fellow Pennsylvanians in need. If you’re able, and want to give what you can to help folks put food on the table, visit feedingpa.org for more information.

We’ve cut taxes SEVEN times since I’ve been Governor, including creating the new Working Pennsylvanians Tax Credit in this budget. With that one tax cut alone, we cut taxes for 940,000 Pennsylvanians with the support of Republicans AND Democrats.

🚨If you’re one of Pennsylvania’s 55,000 child care workers, check out the important information below ⬇️ Applications for recruitment and retention bonuses for child care workers are NOW open as a result of the $25 million investment we secured in the budget I signed into law last month.

I brought the receipts: ⬇️ ✅ Expanded the Property Tax Rent Rebate. ✅ Tripled the Child Care Tax Credit. ✅ Created the NEW Working Pennsylvanians Tax Credit that’s going to put up to $800 back in the pockets of nearly ONE million Pennsylvanians.

Donald Trump's economic policies have failed – the only thing they've done is raise prices and hurt our businesses. Pennsylvanians are worse off because of it.

BREAKING: We just sued the Trump Administration for breaking the law and taking dollars out of Pennsylvania (again).

This morning, JD Vance visited the Lehigh Valley to tell Pennsylvanians that they shouldn't worry about rising prices at the grocery store, job losses at American factories, trade wars with our allies.

The Vice President spent this morning lying to Pennsylvanians about rising prices at the grocery store, gutting our healthcare, and screwing over our farmers. I guess JD Vance was afraid to upset his boss today.

JD Vance is heading to Allentown this morning to try and convince Pennsylvanians that the rising prices, health care cuts, and chaotic trade wars hurting our farmers are just... made up. I talk to Pennsylvanians every single day. We're smarter than JD Vance gives us credit for.

A glimpse into another year of getting stuff done for the good people of Pennsylvania.

Just a few months ago, Mack Trucks announced they’ll need to lay off 350 workers in the Lehigh Valley because the President's tariffs are making the cost of goods skyrocket.

Donald Trump and JD Vance don't give a damn if you can make rent, afford groceries, or give your kids a nice Christmas this year. That part is clear. But here in Pennsylvania, we do.

While Donald Trump and JD Vance's policies make things more expensive, we’re actually working to make life more affordable for Pennsylvanians. We’ve cut taxes seven times. We’ve funded stipends for student-teachers and bonuses for child care workers to put money directly in their pockets.

People tell me every day how chaos from DC is raising costs and cutting off markets — but in Pennsylvania, we're actually putting money back in your pockets.

The bipartisan budget I signed into law is proof that progress is possible here in Pennsylvania. We’re continuing to get stuff done for our kids, families, and seniors, all while cutting taxes and making life more affordable. Pennsylvania is on the rise.

Talk about a stupid line…

Donald Trump doesn’t give a damn about you or your family — his chaotic and cruel economic policies have made that very clear. Let’s face the facts: The President is looking out for himself, not the good people of Pennsylvania.

Pennsylvania is the only state in the Northeast with a growing economy — and for over two years, our unemployment rate has been below the national average. We're creating real economic opportunity here in the Commonwealth.

With these aspiring teachers eager to enter our classrooms, I know Pennsylvania’s future is bright.

Last year, we delivered $20 million in student teacher stipends to 2,000 aspiring educators — helping to reduce the teacher shortage and get aspiring educators into the field they love.

We sued. We won.

The historic investments we’ve made in our kids are working — the results speak for themselves.

Health insurance premiums will skyrocket because Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans failed to extend ACA tax credits — and it's going to leave 150,000 Pennsylvanians without affordable insurance.

Got a chance to offer some advice to some future governors yesterday…

While Donald Trump and Republicans in Washington claim affordability is a hoax, we've been hard at work reducing costs here in Pennsylvania.

Ran into Hallie at Susquehanna Township High School yesterday, a teacher who received one of our student-teacher stipends last year. Take it from Hallie — what we're doing is working.

Shapiro Admin vs. Trump Admin – spot the difference.

It doesn’t matter what it is — groceries, housing, health care, Christmas gifts — Donald Trump’s economic policies are making things more expensive. No amount of BS from the President last night will change that.

A cherished Pennsylvania tradition 🎄

We secured $25 million in this budget for recruitment and retention bonuses for child care workers all across Pennsylvania. We’re tackling our child care workforce shortage head-on here in Pennsylvania – and it’s going to make sure more families can find affordable child care for their kids.

I talk to Pennsylvanians every day — and I know rising costs sure as hell aren't a "hoax" to them. But instead of coming here last night and presenting a plan to help make people's lives better, Donald Trump just hurled more insults.

I’ll put my record on affordability up against Donald Trump’s any day of the week. Since I became Governor, we’ve cut taxes SEVEN TIMES: ✅Expanded the Property Tax Rent Rebate — the largest targeted tax cut for seniors in two decades!
