Pennsylvanians are suffering deeply under President Trump. It’s time that Republican leadership in Congress stopped making things worse.

Pennsylvanians have had enough. #SOTU

White graphic with an image of Trump and text that reads “Trump’s BS Translator: Immigration policy- (n.) The Trump administration has been rounding up our immigrant neighbors into camps while also kidnapping innocent Pennsylvanians. ICE violence only makes us less safe, not more.”

White graphic with an image of Trump and text that reads “Trump’s BS Translator: Ending waste- (v.) Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill cut 1 in 4 Pennsylvanians from Medicaid and hurt over 400,000 Pennsylvanians’ access to SNAP. These services were slashed by $900 billion to triple ICE’s budget.”

White graphic with an image of Trump and text that reads “Trump’s BS Translator: Tariffs- (n.) Trump’s high tariffs have sent prices skyrocketing. Businesses have raised prices as a result, while over 90% of the increase in costs have been paid for by everyday Pennsylvanians.”

Pennsylvanians can see through the B.S. This administration's greedy decisions have directly impacted everyone’s wallet, safety, and future, as Republicans in Pennsylvania’s congressional delegation enabled it all. #SOTU

Tonight’s #SOTU speech WON’T match what Pennsylvanians are experiencing.

People are having a tough time making ends meet as Republicans in PA’s congressional delegation made things worse to please the Trump Administration. Enough is enough.

We all know how this #SOTU will play out.

Here’s a bingo card to help get you through the B.S.

While Pennsylvanians struggle, Republicans in PA’s congressional delegation have done nothing but enable Trump to take our funds to make life worse for our communities.

Next week, Trump’s #StateOfTheUnion will try to gaslight Pennsylvanians into thinking his agenda has worked for us.

But from gutting healthcare to raising costs, Trump and Pennsylvania Republicans have waged war on working Pennsylvanians.

White graphic with images of Trump and Dave McCormick with text that reads “Dave McCormick is selling out Pennsylvania voters to appease Trump’s lies.”

Dave McCormick is shamelessly parroting Trump’s lies as they try to pass the SAVE Act and undermine the will of Pennsylvania voters.

We won’t fall for it.

For 30 years, the Republican State Senate Majority has told us “no.”

No to a minimum wage raise, no to school funding, and no to a better Pennsylvania.

Blue graphic with an image of voting booths and text that reads “Only more voting can save america, not less.”

Pennsylvanians deserve to have the right to make their voices heard.

The SAVE Act would make it harder than ever to vote freely and fairly.

Don’t be fooled by Trump’s rhetoric at next week’s #StateOfTheUnion.

Pennsylvanians know that Trump’s policies have only hurt us every step of the way.

Stock photos of a person at the doctor, groceries, bicycles, keys. Text reads: hard work =/= affordability.

Grocery costs. Rent. Healthcare. These rise faster than pay. Working Pennsylvanians are struggling to make ends meet. They need real policies that match real effort with real opportunity.

ICYMI: Here are 3 good stories you missed about leaders in Pennsylvania doing good work for Pennsylvanians.

Blue graphic with images of PA’s GOP Congressional delegation with text that reads “Every Pennsylvania Republican voted for the SAVE Act. Selling out your right to vote. Not happy? Contact our delegation: Fitzpatrick: 202-225-4276 Mackenzie: 202-225-6411 Bresnahan: 202-225-5546 Meuser: 202- 225-6511 Perry: 202-225-5836 Smucker: 202-225-2411 Joyce: 202-225-2431 Reschenthaler: 202-225-2065 Thompson: 202- 225-5121 Kelly: 202-225-5406”

Every single House Republican from Pennsylvania voted for the SAVE Act, which would federalize PA’s elections and require you to submit your birth certificate or passport to have the right to vote.

Not happy with them? Let them know.

It’s been TWO decades since Pennsylvania got a minimum wage increase thanks to the Republican controlled Senate.

Feel old yet?

Blue graphic with an image of an X over a woman voting and text that reads “Reality: 2.9M women do not have a birth certificate that matches their current legal name.”

The SAVE Act would make voting harder than ever.

From making Pennsylvanian women jump through extra hoops to cutting registration services, the SAVE Act is voter suppression plain and simple.
