@POTUS & @SecKennedy are endangering kids’ lives. They are anti-science and, frankly, anti-reality. As measles runs rampant & whooping cough cases rise, they don’t care.
As a physician-legislator, I will continue to fight for science-informed policies to protect Pennsylvanians.

Black men save millions of American lives freedom house and the first ambulance was created by Black people in 1966 Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. and the city took it over and pushed them aside. And then they tell you that African-Americans never contributed towards this country.

Violence of any kind targeted at our Muslim neighbors has no place in this country. It goes against the foundational values of our Commonwealth and one of our nation's most fundamental freedoms — the freedom to worship as you wish.
My team is in touch with the Northeast Philadelphia Islamic Center to offer our full support as they recover from this senseless act, and @PAStatePolice is working with local authorities to find the individual responsible.
Every Pennsylvanian deserves to feel safe in their house of worship. And no matter who you pray to, I want you to know that you have a home here in Pennsylvania.

This is absolutely disgusting.
This bigoted garbage and antisemitism should be nowhere near our politics.
If you’re in TX-35, vote for @johnnygarciatx.
And the donors behind the Republican super PAC funding her should be exposed.

I’m grateful for law enforcement and the Secret Service’s quick action to keep the President, Cabinet, lawmakers, the press, and everyone in attendance tonight at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner safe.
While we await more information from law enforcement, one thing is for certain: political violence is never okay — and it has no place in this country.

This documentary about Tarik Khan - former nurse who saved 800 expiring vaccine doses by going out into the community and giving shots and now state representative for Roxborough- will make you smile and cry. What a great role model and Philadelphian.

Lawmakers across the ideological spectrum seem pretty taken aback by Point's email offering Amazon gift cards to customers who offered testimony on a bill they want to block. Here's a sampling:
A Silicon Valley lending firm offered its customers gift cards to oppose a Pennsylvania bill that they oppose. Lawmakers in both parties who want to regulate them say it's unethical and needs scrutiny. spotlightpa.org/news/2026/03…

.@SecKennedy is endangering lives by changing the recommended childhood vaccine schedule. We must protect PA from this dangerous anti-vaccine ideology. The PA House has passed both my bills to protect vaccine access. I urge the PA Senate to do the same.

Pennsylvania is the only state in the Northeast with a growing economy.
That’s a direct result of the work we’ve done to attract business, create more jobs, and cut red tape all across our Commonwealth.
When I say Pennsylvania is open for business – this is what I mean.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like. yahoo.com/news/articles/let-…

Last year @RepJoshSiegel and @RepTarik introduced HB1988 to study the concept of a state-level building code change, but it didn’t end up moving forward. It ran into some norms about the usual process for making building code updates through an omnibus negotiation every 3 years

While members of Congress try to figure out how to enrich the wealthiest Americans on the backs of future generations, House Democrats (and a few House Republicans) voted to boost the pensions of 60,000 retired workers who haven't had a raise in +20 years.
