The update to Pennsylvania's voter registration data was highlighted by Elon Musk and U.S. senators pushing the SAVE Act. Here's what the numbers actually mean.

Just another reason to repeal Trump’s Big Ugly Law. This is shameful. Americans with serious illnesses, like cancer and HIV, should NOT risk losing their health insurance due to unrealistic requirements and bureaucracy, putting ongoing critical treatments at risk.

A surprise rule added to the Big Beautiful Bill could disrupt access to Medicaid for people with serious illnesses who thought they were exempted from work requirements.

Head Start is a lifeline for thousands of Philadelphia families- ensuring every kid, no matter their zip code or economic status, has a chance to succeed. This back-door cut from the Trump-Vance administration of this vital program is unconscionable. Our kids deserve better.

The White House tried but failed to block funding for preschool for poor children. Instead, it will seek to strip away standards on health, literacy — and brushing teeth.

This is the crisis Donald Trump and congressional Republicans created. After they kicked millions of Americans off their health insurance, people are struggling to pay their medical bills, delaying surgeries, and putting off critical testing. (1/2)

SHOT: Trump’s wild claim of cutting drug prices by 600% (That would mean companies pay YOU to take their medicines!) CHASER: He’s ending a program that helps millions of seniors afford their prescription drug costs.

Philadelphia families and small businesses are being crushed by rising gas prices because of Trump’s seemingly endless war of choice. Meanwhile, big oil companies are raking in billions in record profits.

Exxon and Chevron reported a combined $26.5 billion windfall for the second quarter, as many drivers struggle to afford the price of gas.

Happening TODAY from 4:30 to 6:30! Stop by this great pop-up event if you need help with a federal agency! Please note the corrected zip code: 19121.

Donald Trump promised to lower prices on "day one." But thanks to his illegal war of choice, Pennsylvania drivers have paid over $1,758,411,750 extra on gas. That's nearly $375 per household! More details: www.jec.senate.gov/public/index...

Today @HouseDemocrats are kicking off 100 Days of Fighting for an Affordable America, pushing for an END to the Trump war of choice and tariff-taxes that are driving up your costs. PA families’ average basic living expenses have gone up $3,400 under Trump and congressional Republicans. /1
The Trump-Republican Cost of Living Crisis

Every day Republicans refuse to stand up to Trump is another day your costs go up.
The New York Times@nytimes.com · 2w agoThe Trump administration announced it will set tariffs on over 80 countries on Friday, a new effort to uphold a policy that courts have repeatedly invalidated. More duties are likely to be on the way in the coming weeks.
A lot has changed in the last 17 years. But the federal minimum wage has not. Congress must pass the #RaisetheWage Act. Across the country as the cost of living keeps climbing, our federal minimum wage must be a livable wage!
Great news! This is the one exception Philly will allow to #NoKings
Adam Aaronson@adamaaronson.bsky.social · 2w agoYes, this is real: LeBron James is joining the Sixers. First of several stories coming today on absolutely stunning news: after two bizarre years, the Sixers suddenly have a five-headed monster and real title aspirations. It actually happened. What now?! www.phillyvoice.com/sixers-news-...
The president is trying to minimize the tragic cost of his senseless war. What a disgrace.
Service members we lose—whether 18 or thousands—represent families grieving someone who will never come home, children growing up without a parent, and loved ones carrying that loss for the rest of their lives.
Next Wednesday, #TeamEvans is hosting a constituent services pop-up from 4:30 PM to 6:30 PM at the Darrell L. Clarke Community Center! If you need help with federal issues like passports, VA benefits, or Social Security benefits- stop by!
When you're back at the pump paying more for gas, remember what Trump said:
The Associated Press@apnews.com · 2w agoBREAKING: U.S. gas prices have jumped to an average of $4 a gallon again as the U.S. and Iran launch more attacks.
Hey #Roxborough! Do you need help with a federal agency this summer? If so, come visit my constituent services pop-up on Monday, July 27, from 4:30 to 6:30 PM, at Andorra Library!
Americans are sick and tired of paying the price of Donald Trump’s war of choice. But rather than forcing him to end this reckless war, this week, House Republicans want to give this administration billions more of your tax dollars for it.

Happy Birthday to the late, great Nelson Mandela! An unwavering champion of equality and justice, and personal hero of mine, today especially I’m reminded of his words: “For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.”
Six years ago, we lost a titan, a champion for the voiceless, the Conscience of Congress, and my dear friend and personal hero- John Lewis. Today and every day, let us follow in his footsteps. As he once said: “Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble.”
Hey Trump, while you’re at it, why don’t you release all of the Epstein files!
