What a beautiful evening raising the pride flag in Hatfield Township - for the first time! 🏳️🌈
Together, we reaffirmed that no matter who you are or how you identify, every Pennsylvanian deserves to live a life free of discrimination and intimidation.
Donald Trump is screwing our farmers, our grocers, and our families, and not a single Republican has even tried to stop him. This cruel recklessness must end. www.post-gazette.com/business/pit...
Every life cut short by gun violence leaves an empty seat at a family table and a lasting impact on a community.
Today we honor victims, stand with survivors and work toward a future where fewer families experience this loss.

No child should have to worry about when they’re going to get their next meal — and no child should have to learn on an empty stomach.
That’s why we worked across the aisle to deliver universal free breakfast for all 1.7 million Pennsylvania public school students.
Great news in our fight against trafficking: the PA Senate just passed SB 45, my bill with Sen. Dush to enable law enforcement to better target & prosecute prostitution related trafficking crimes.
This bill is especially important in light of the large, international events PA will host this year.
The Family Care Act says work and family shouldn't be in constant conflict.
So thrilled to share that my SB 906 passed the Senate Labor & Industry Committee this morning, bringing us one step closer to paid family and medical leave in PA.
Let's finally get this done.
With Senate Bill 25, we can remove obstacles for PA's nurse practitioners, letting their skills shine while ensuring patients get the care and attention they deserve.
We can join 28 other states who have already embraced full practice authority.
Let's get it done.
As a co-Chair of the bipartisan, bicameral PA Anti-Human Trafficking Caucus, I'm proud of our continued efforts to crack down on trafficking and to help survivors seek the justice they deserve.

Thanks for the shout out @strictscrutiny.bsky.social!
We won’t stay silent as SCOTUS chips away at our democracy.

Suicide accounts for 6 in 10 gun deaths in the United States.
On Gun Violence Awareness Day, we remember those who have been tragically lost and renew our efforts to build healthier, safer communities free from gun violence.
