Republicans in Congress are rushing to vote on a bill that raises taxes by as much as 50% on the cheapest, most flexible sources of energy we have. That means higher prices for Pennsylvanians and billions of dollars added to our electricity bills over the next decade. And

The federal budget bill Congress just passed is shameful and it is going to hurt Pennsylvania. The Republican members of our delegation who voted for this bill just voted for: cutting healthcare and food assistance for over half a million Pennsylvanians, eliminating 26,000
