Shut our government down and America loses. 2 MILLION Pennsylvanians depend on SNAP to feed their families. For me, it’s hungry Americans over party. Paying our military over party. Paying Capitol Police and federal workers over party. I choose country over party.

Food insecurity is real for many Pennsylvania families. It’s one of many reasons why I could never vote for shutting our government down. For immediate food assistance in PA, call 211 or go to www.feedingpa.org.

“Now, life.” - Eli Sharabi, former hostage, on resilience and optimism. The nightmare finally ends. May the hostages have a full recovery and may we never forget those who didn’t make it out alive. Credit to President Trump for a breakthrough ceasefire of this awful war.

I congratulate President Trump on this historic peace plan that releases all the hostages. Now, enduring peace in the region is possible. Our parties are different but we have a shared ironclad commitment to Israel and its people.

My heart breaks and goes out to this family and the community touched by this. I will never stop paying it forward because I know this fight too well: Your life matters. Self harm must never, never be an option. Please, stay in the game.

Sept. 11 is a solemn reminder of the lives taken from us at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. May we continue to honor their memories and the courageous actions of our first responders, volunteers, and military in the days after.

I’ve always maintained that all work has dignity, the Union Way of Life is sacred, and that it’s past time we pay people a livable wage. I’m 💯 celebrating the hardworking men and women who keep our country running—this Labor Day, and always. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

42 Members of Congress—led by CEC Chair @repmarktakano.bsky.social, CEC Co-Chair & House Ag Dems RM @repangiecraig.bsky.social, Senator Fetterman, & Senator Brian Schatz—demanded USDA restore explicit protections for LGBTQI+ people in anti-hunger programs like SNAP & school lunches.

The housing crisis isn’t a 🔴 or 🔵 issue—it impacts us all and Americans need solutions. Grateful to be in West Philly with the Philadelphia Housing Authority checking out their progress in developing 1,000 new units. Great things happen when we cut through the noise and deliver.

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. www.foxbusiness.com/politics/fet...

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.

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. www.foxnews.com/politics/sen...

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.

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 always maintained my strong support of @ppfa.org + every single woman fighting for their reproductive freedom and basic health care. That’s not changing. 💯

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.

Senator McCormick and I had the absolute pleasure of celebrating PA’s Congressional Award Gold Medalists for their hundreds of hours of voluntary public service, personal development, and more. Sarah C., Sarah L., Ria, Adam, Sathvik and Alexander—you’ve made us all very proud.

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. Grateful to partner with my friend, Sen. Katie Britt, to reintroduce the Stop the Scroll Act to get this done.

Honored to speak in ❤️CAMBRIA COUNTY❤️ at the Showcase for Commerce here in Johnstown. Pennsylvania businesses, contractors and union workers all play a crucial role in our national defense. Proud to be here recognizing their work and to continue offering my full support.
