Our hospitals will close and our children will go hungry so the rich can get richer. This is completely unconscionable. post-gazette.com/news/politics-…

The arts have always been important to me, and as co-chair of the Arts & Culture Caucus, I'm honored to support this field in Harrisburg and at home. This week, we broke the wall for a new musical theater facility in Pittsburgh!

310,000 Pennsylvanians about to lose Medicaid. 25 rural hospitals on the brink. $1 trillion slashed from Medicaid nationwide. Families abandoned so the ultra-wealthy get tax cuts.

The intermittent outage remains to be a state-wide issue, and we have been in constant coordination with all of our county partners and PEMA while they troubleshoot. In the event of difficulty contacting Allegheny County 9-1-1, dial (412)-473-3056.

Transit is essential to workers, families, and local economies. Pennsylvania can’t afford a funding crisis. #TransitMatters #PAPublicTransit #KeepPAMoving

Republicans' new bill just passed and it's a disaster for working families in every state, including right here in Pennsylvania. We deserve leaders who will lower costs ✅, protect health care ❤️, and make sure working families, not the ultra-rich, come first.

Senate Republicans voted to defund Big Bird, Cookie Monster and public media across PA. Dave McCormick voted yes. We’re fighting for working families and every kid learning ABCs on Sesame Street. Hands off public media. #PASDCC #SavePBS #PAFamilies

I'm happy to see positive news for home-buying in our area, but if we want folks to continue to want to live here - we need to make it easy to get around. We have to fund mass transit and keep us connected. ow.ly/ILaq50WrO7z

Health care is not a crime ❤️‍🩹 The Reproductive Freedom Act (SB 837) repeals outdated laws, removes harmful barriers, and protects privacy so Pennsylvanians can access care safely and without stigma. 📣 Tell your legislators: Support SB 837. #ReproFreedom #AbortionIsHealthCare

PA transit is on the brink. Without state funding, agencies like PRT could cut 35% of routes, raise fares, and slash late-night service by 2026. Reliable transit is essential for all Pennsylvanians. Fund transit now. #FundTransitPA #SaveOurRides

Nearly 2 million Pennsylvanians use SNAP for pay for food. In the wake of President Trump's "One Big, Beautiful Bill," PA Gov. Josh Shapiro has doubts about if SNAP will operate in the state any longer. buff.ly/7gxREbW

📍SEPTA cuts could hit the day before school starts, disrupting thousands of lives. Senate Dems are ready to fund public transit. The House already passed it. Now the Senate must act to keep PA moving. #FundSEPTA #PASDCC

The Pennsylvania Senate Democratic caucus has 23 members all prepared to vote YES on Governor Shapiro’s proposal to fund public transit across PA – a proposal that the Democratic-controlled House of Representatives has passed four times already. Let's get it done.
