I’ve made clear I’d work across the aisle, find common ground, and secure wins for PA.

After a few good-faith meetings, I thank Secretary Duffy for being a man of his word and putting politics aside.

We will now have $1 BILLION in infrastructure funding released for our commonwealth.

In an often cruel world, especially online with social media, we’ve got to do everything we can to support our kids and their mental health.

Had a great conversation with folks from the National Association of School Psychologists about why that matters and ways to support them.

You work hard for your money. You shouldn’t be limited on how to spend it.

Every kid gets hungry.

Every kid deserves a meal.

Every kid deserves an education.

I’ve always maintained that school lunch should be free AND absolutely free of any judgment.

Feed our kids, not your biases.

Senators Ricketts, Fetterman unite against China's quiet invasion of US farmland Republican Sen. Pete Ricketts and Democrat Sen. John Fetterman introduced a bipartisan bill to strengthen oversight on foreign ownership of American farmland amid Chinese investments.

I hope many would agree the Chinese government and other U.S. adversaries should own ZERO agricultural land in our great country.

This is really a national security issue + also a food security issue.

Proud to partner with Senator Ricketts on this.

Last week, Gallup polled only 36% of Democrats are “extremely or very proud” to be American.

In the greatest country in the world, that’s just wrong.

I’m unapologetically grateful for our nation and the American Way of Life—today, and always.

Happy Birthday, America. 🇺🇸

Not one single Democrat will vote for the “big beautiful bill.”

I’m here to vote on these amendments and keep the ball rolling.

I’m a HARD NO on the final bill and won’t support cutting Medicaid, SNAP or adding up to $5T to our national debt.

14th Amendment, Section 1: All persons born or naturalized in the United States are citizens of the United States.

I swore an oath to protect and defend the Constitution, and I believe the effort to end birthright citizenship will ultimately fail—as it should.

I’ve made clear I’m strongly against any bill that cuts Medicaid, a stance even some of my Republican colleagues agree with.

These civil rights leaders understand why we must protect it and other programs like SNAP—and I reiterated my commitment to doing so.

I’ve had many conversations with Pennsylvanians about Medicaid—a program that I’m committed to protecting for the millions of lives that rely on it.

One of those conversations was with a kind little boy from Tioga County named Ian. His mother Jodi shared their story with me.

I told Fox this morning we should 100% deport the criminal migrants in our country––not the hardworking migrants who make it great.

At significant personal risk, this Afghani man aided our military in a war zone.

This is un-American + a betrayal that ICE must make right.

Dominic is an incredible little dude.

Because of pre-birth surgery he received to correct Spina Bifida at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia thanks to NIH research, he’s with us here today + enjoying the office and his new gavel.

We’ve got to keep investing in any opportunity to save lives.

In the next year, Philly will host major international events like the World Cup and our nation’s 250th birthday.

It doesn’t sound like FAA has a sufficient plan to handle the travel volume—yet. I’m committed to working with officials to make sure we get there.

A special meeting with religious leaders from Pennsylvania and across the country, all advocating to restore forgotten communities from environmental harms they’ve experienced—a cause I’ve championed since being a mayor.

Grateful for their leadership and to be here with them.

Spending time this 81st Anniversary of D-Day to reflect on all who fought for the survival of liberty and freedom against tyranny and oppression.

Through service and sacrifice, those brave men and women created lasting legacies that we must honor—not just today, but always.

Nearly 300k Pennsylvanians would lose Medicaid coverage.

Pennsylvania families would see a rise in energy costs up to $1200.

Domestic manufacturing tax credits would be rolled back and the U.S. would lose $50 billion.

And now this massive deficit added. Once again, I am a NO.

Like I said during our hearing a few weeks ago, immigration isn’t just about securing the border.

It’s also about helping people in need.

Proud to stand with these refugee community leaders from across Pennsylvania as we work to restore the Refugee Admissions Program.

Adding a warning label + links to mental health resources is a simple option to help anybody using social media, especially our kids.

We are a safer and stronger country thanks to their service, and we should never forget it. 🇺🇸

I’ll never understand cutting programs that help small farms and keep communities fed—but I do appreciate agency officials recognizing there are opportunities forward.

CNN Article: “House Republicans are proposing $1 trillion in cuts to Medicaid and food stamps. Here’s who could be affected.”

Here’s who will be affected:

Hungry Pennsylvanians.

Millions of Pennsylvanians who rely on medical care from Medicaid.

Rural Pennsylvania hospitals.

Pennsylvania’s farmers.

That’s why I’ll strenuously vote against this.
