Over-incarceration clogs courts, wastes money, and doesn’t stop repeat crime. Diversion programs work because they focus on accountability and the root causes of crime. My resolution studies how to expand and improve diversion across PA and it just passed the Judiciary Committee!

When government power goes unchecked, it’s the people who pay the price.

That’s why showing up matters, because silence allows harm to continue.

RFK Jr. was in Harrisburg today. I spoke at the counter-rally with other health professionals and organized labor because health coverage, food security, vaccine access, and life-saving research are being weakened.

When policies hurt patients, it’s time to speak up and change course.

Another killing this morning by federal agents in the peaceful city of Minneapolis, again in broad daylight. The President and his enablers have unleashed chaos, lawlessness, and violence in our communities in pursuit of a radical agenda to seize power and instill fear through state-sanctioned violence. 

We deserve safety, transparency, and answers β€” not continued escalations and more violence.

In the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, we have introduced several bills and resolutions to limit the abuse of federal power and the militarization of civil federal agencies unfolding in real time. We will resist any attempt to normalize the chaos and terror ignited by this administration.

Violence by federal agents in Minnesota is taking innocent lives, including ICU nurse Alex Pretti. Our PA House resolution today calls on Congress to ensure accountability comes before more funding.

Late last night, someone painted racist graffiti, including swastikas, at Roxborough High School.

Let me be clear: targeting students in the middle of the night is cowardice, and it does not define us. Our community is bigger than a racist, and one who cannot even spell at that.

War requires Congress, even against ruthless dictators like NicolΓ‘s Maduro. This looks more like a power play over oil than a plan to keep Americans safe. We should be lowering costs at home, not creating crises abroad.

Apprenticeships mean good union jobs. I toured the Sheet Metal Workers Local 19 Training Center today, where the PA budget invests in apprenticeships because good union careers lead to opportunity and a better future.

πŸ’΅ Up to $800 back for working families.

That’s the Working PA Tax Credit.

Wissahickon Transit Center is now open!! πŸš‰

Shaped by neighbors, built by union labor, delivered by SEPTA, funded by the state.

This is real transit investment, now let’s make it permanent.

Let’s be clearβ€”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 Justicesβ€” 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.

β€œWe shouldn’t have to rely on a gambling company to fund our transit,” Khan said. β€œThat should be the job of our legislature, and we’ve done the hard work in the House.β€œ

Capped off a day fighting for SEPTA funding and healthcare access on a panel hosted by Rep. Ben Waxman. SEPTA is a lifeline β€” and Senate Republicans need to fund it

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

🚨 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 β€” 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.

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 clearβ€” 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 intoβ€” and broke yet another promise by the president to be a peacemaker.
