Yesterday was National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day. Let us recommit to ending the disparities in HIV and AIDS prevention, education, and treatment facing Black communities across the country.

We can only end this epidemic when we ensure EVERYONE has access to prevention and treatment care.

Donald Trump said he would lower prices on β€œday one.”

But more than a year into his second term, new data shows his reckless economic policies and tariff-taxes have cost Philly families $2,020 β€” that’s over $168 a month!

House Democrats led a successful effort to extend the ACA tax credits.

All we need is a few Senate Republicans to join us to pass this bill.

Hear from @waysmeanscmte.bsky.social Democrats about what the GOP health care crisis means for families.

Donald Trump is a bigoted, small-minded man who has long spewed racist remarks and tried to whitewash our nation’s history. Today he finds a new low.

His recent post is vile, disgusting, and abhorrently racist. Every elected official should speak up and condemn this hate.

Simply put - Donald Trump is not connected to reality.

Working people in Philly and beyond are enduring higher costs because of Trump’s tariff-taxes and his letting health-care tax credits for 22 million Americans expire. But his billionaire buddies continue to get by just fine!

'One Big Beautiful Bill' kicks in, reducing or eliminating SNAP benefits The Trump administration's "Big, Beautiful, Bill" changed the rules surrounding SNAP eligibility and will result in fewer people across the state receiving food aid

The effects of Trump’s #ReverseRobinHood budget are ALREADY rippling through our community.

Starting this month, thousands of families in Philly are beginning to lose their critical SNAP food assistance - while the rich are enjoying huge tax breaks from the same law.

Health Insurance Is Now More Expensive Than the Mortgage for These Americans Monthly health-insurance bills are rocketing higher for middle-income earners who rely on Obamacare

It’s been over three weeks since House Democrats forced a winning bipartisan vote to restore ACA tax credits and lower health care costs for 500,000 Pennsylvanians.

But thanks to Senate Republicans’ inaction on these credits, health-insurance bills are skyrocketing for millions of Americans.

It is clear DHS must undergo real change and reforms. After over a year of empty promises, I believe we cannot trust promises of reform from this administration.

I first need to see much-needed guardrails and protections being put into law- and therefore will be voting no on this funding package.

I stand with the vast majority of Philadelphians against the hate that was on display at a disgusting, antisemitic pro-Hamas rally yesterday at Rittenhouse Square.

I stand with both our Jewish and Muslim neighbors for peace and against violence.

No matter this administration’s continued attempts to whitewash and erase our nation’s history- this month and every month, let us honor our history through our advocacy and actions.

U.S. Reps. Brendan Boyle and Dwight Evans amplify calls to remove DHS Secretary Kristi Noem The duo joins a national chorus of Democrats denouncing Noem over recent conflagrations involving Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations.

Secretary Kristi Noem must be held accountable for her dangerous, lawless policies and reckless leadership of DHS.

Trump must fire her now, or she must be impeached!

Rather than working to make your life more affordable, President Trump is suing the IRS for $10 BILLION of your taxpayer dollars. That’s enough for a $6,353 check for every Philadelphian, including every child!

I and my Democratic colleagues will keep fighting his backwards, corrupt priorities!

Senate Democrats must continue holding the line to get the DHS bill rewritten with major protections for Americans. And Speaker Johnson must call the House back quickly if that happens - Americans need reform and accountability, not another Republican-created government shutdown! (2/2)

Working Philadelphians have seen their costs going up as Trump spent his first year back in office imposing tariff-taxes on food, clothing and more.

But he has made sure to take care of his billionaire buddies!

Yesterday’s attack on Rep. Omar and last week’s attack on Rep. Frost are completely reprehensible. Let’s be clear- Donald Trump’s and his allies' dangerous rhetoric has real consequences.

I’m relieved my colleagues are safe. Political violence must have no place in America- period.

How ICE grew to be the highest-funded U.S. law enforcement agency ICE's budget hovered around $10 billion for years. But President Trump and the Republican-controlled Congress are taking the agency's funding to unprecedented levels.

Budgets are a statement of priorities and values.

In his Big Ugly Budget, Donald Trump slashed funding from Medicaid and SNAP food aid. That same lawΒ created a $75 BILLION slush fund for an agency operating without guardrailsΒ and terrorizing our communities.

John Fetterman said he won’t vote against DHS funding. Every House Democrat from Pa. is urging him to change his mind Fetterman has said he disagrees with 'many strategies and practices ICE deployed in Minneapolis' but rejects calls to defund ICE.

As ICE and CBP continue acting lawlessly, placing lives at risk β€” we need real accountability and reform.

That’s why PA’s 7 House Democrats have a simple message for our two senators: oppose any funding for DHS that does not include meaningful, enforceable reforms to these agencies. (1/2)

Donald Trump must fire Kristi Noem immediately.

Or Democrats will initiate impeachment proceedings against her in the House.

A bunch of Republican senators have issued statements of concern re: Alex Pretti's killing, including calling for an investigation.
The only action I've seen one of them take beyond concern tweets, however, is Rand Paul calling a public hearing for Feb. 12.
They hold all of the leverage.
