On June 6, 1944, thousands of Allied troops stormed the beaches of Normandy in one of history's most consequential military operations.
On this anniversary, we honor the courage, sacrifice and determination of those who fought to secure freedom during World War II.

President Trump claims that the economy is "booming."

Today, @SenatorCosta.com filed a discharge petition for HB 2189, which would increase the minimum wage to $15 over the course of three years.
The bill - which passed with bipartisan support in the PA House - has languished in the Pennsylvania Senate for months awaiting action.
Senate Republicans have refused to bring this bill and hundreds of others up for a vote.
The petition will require the full Senate to vote on whether to move a bill out of committee without a committee vote.

"The time is now to do the right thing, the smart thing & the popular thing by raising PA's minimum wage. By filing today’s discharge petition, we're standing in solidarity with every worker earning less than $15/hour in demanding family-sustaining wages for every Pennsylvanian.”
“It’s long past time to raise Pennsylvania’s pitiful minimum wage and deliver a meaningful wage increase for thousands of hard-working Pennsylvanians. We are an island among our neighboring states in our $7.25/hour minimum wage, and it’s a downright disgrace," said Sen. Costa.
