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

If you believe Giant should respect workers and hire union labor, let them know.

📞 (800) 814-4268

Our community deserves better.

🚨 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.

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.

With neighbors tonight

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!

Harmful Attacks on Educational Programs Paused by Court in Case Brought By Educators - Democracy Forward

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.

Gov. Josh Shapiro is right — we have to rise above the kind of political violence that targeted him | Opinion It was painful to hear my friend was targeted by a man who wished to burn down his home. But I know the mission of a peacemaker will always inspire more than the malice of an arsonist.

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.

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!!

Rubio says El Salvador offers to accept deportees from US of any nationality, including Americans U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio says El Salvador’s president “has agreed to the most unprecedented, extraordinary, extraordinary migratory agreement anywhere in the world."

To CECOT in El Salvador.

Rubio said in February that El Salvador agreed to take US deportees of any nationality, including US citizens.

Shapiro announces largest grant to a Muslim organization in Pennsylvania • Pennsylvania Capital-Star The Al-Aqsa Islamic Society in Philadelphia is receiving the largest state grant ever given to a Muslim group.

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.
