Deaths, safety violations, medical neglect, and clear contract violations at Moshannon Valley Detention Center. We demand answers and accountability.

Every person deserves to live in a home that grants them privacy and dignity. KenCrest is dedicated to ensuring that for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. I was grateful to tour a KenCrest Smart Tech home in Pottstown — designed with those individuals in mind.
The Trump administration is funneling billions of dollars to ICE — and helping corporations profit by warehousing human beings right here in PA. It’s inhumane, and it must stop.
Isabella. Michael. Tyler. Angel. Four more young lives lost — heroes who gave the last full measure of devotion for our nation. Their names will not be forgotten. It is time to end the President’s ill-begotten war.
Kids fighting congenital heart disease — this is who suffers when HHS stops support for science. Local hospitals like CHOP and Penn rely on stable funding for lifesaving treatments. These billion dollar cuts hit families and researchers right here at home.
As we celebrated our nation's 250th anniversary, Trump celebrated the dark one year milestone of the "One Big Beautiful Bill" becoming law. As children go hungry and seniors lose access to care, there is nothing beautiful about it.
This week, ICE killed Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero. Last week, ICE killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. May their memory rest in peace, but not in vain. This administration must stop these senseless killings and shutter the billions funneled to this rouge agency.
We tried permanent daylight saving time in 1970s. It lasted less than a year. The Sunshine Protection Act would disrupt our natural sleep cycle leading to serious health conditions like obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, depression, and some cancers. Let’s not repeat the mistakes of our past.
USW Local 10 represents thousands of PA workers — steelworkers, housekeepers, chemists, plumbers, engineers. They keep our economy running and support public health, including vaccine manufacturing. Grateful to meet with them and stand for protecting their union-strong work.
To the United States Senate; Do not confirm Todd Blanche for Attorney General.
Excited to watch Citizens Bank Park shine for tonight’s All-Star Game! 🌟 And special shout out to Montgomery County’s own Victus Sports — official bat-maker of the MLB (and of PA-04). Go Phils! ⚾️❤️
I'm happy if our families can save at the pump. Yet while President Trump touts “affordable” Freedom Fuel stations, prices are still too high for gas, groceries, healthcare, and more. Americans are hurting and this administration isn't doing enough to help.
Parents deserve the utmost confidence in the safety of infant formula. Our bipartisan bill would expand the list of pathogens that the FDA must test to ensure our youngest are protected when getting essential nourishment.
Happy Independence Day! 🇺🇸 On our Semiquincentennial, may we reflect and rejoice on 250 years of the American Experiment. And may we always rise up to our promise of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Have a happy, safe, and healthy Fourth!
250 years later, Congress came back to where it began. 🇺🇸 What a profound moment to gather at Independence Hall, where are Founding Fathers pledged “our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.” Because of their immense courage, we have our precious democracy.
I pressed Secretary Rubio and Steve Witkoff on the deal with Iran. Apparently, they don’t want tough questions.
If you are born here, you are American. It’s as simple — and as fundamental — as that.
Happy 250th, America! 🇺🇸 🎂 Kicking off this historic anniversary with a beautiful celebration at the Montgomery County Court House. Our Founding Fathers envisioned a haven of freedom and justice for all. We are all called to live up to our highest American ideals.
The Reflecting Pool should mirror our history. Instead, it’s now surrounded by cameras, out-of-state police, and the empty symbolism of this administration. As Americans and affordability are pushed aside, this is not a reflection we recognize.
In March, our Commonwealth and community sounded the alarm: no inhumane warehousing of people in Berks or Schuylkill. Now, ICE is backing down. Accountability doesn’t stop here — what I witnessed in Moshannon, Philadelphia, and Dilley demands more from this administration.
We are at our best when we are engaged in our democracy. That was clear at the Progress for the People Town Hall in Bethlehem! Thank you the residents of the Lehigh Valley who shared their concerns about high costs, healthcare, and more. I’m heartened by such a strong commitment to our future.
Happy Father's Day! May we reflect and thank the incredible men in our lives who, by example, teach us unconditional love, strength, and generosity. Here’s to all the dads! ❤️
Happy Juneteenth! In 1865, news of the Emancipation Proclamation reached the farthest corner of our nation — Galveston, Texas. Finally, in writing and in life, freedom rang. May we always strive for our highest American ideals of freedom and justice for all.
Operation Epic Fury ends as Operation Epic Failure.
Always great and informative to meet with our Veterans Advisory Panel, including Montgomery County Veteran Affairs and the Veterans Multi-Service Center! So many of our veterans carry a lifelong commitment to service, and we are fortunate to have their compassionate leadership in our region.
For 27 years, the Bipartisan Women’s Caucus laid a wreath for our women veterans. This year, it was cancelled. The generations of women who have fought, died, and sacrificed for our freedom will not be erased.
Sending the best of luck from the East Coast to L.A. for our U.S. men’s team’s first match in the World Cup — especially PA’s own Christian Pulisic! ⚽️ Go Team USA! 🇺🇸
With the school year ending, I was delighted to meet with our Student Task Force one last time. This year, they’ve brought me such joy, hope, and reflection. Good luck to our graduates! And wishing our brilliant students, devoted teachers, and hardworking staff a well-deserved summer! 😎
1 in 3 Pennsylvanians dropped their ACA coverage last year, and premiums are skyrocketing for hundreds of thousands more. Yet this administration offers silence while families struggle with rising costs across the board. It's shameful.
The House just approved Trump's $70B for ICE and Border Patrol — I voted NO. Americans overwhelmingly oppose this extreme immigration agenda. We cannot pretend this is business as usual.
