AI is reshaping every aspect of our society at a rapid pace, which means our protections against misuse need to keep up. @RepVenkat and @RepShusterman are keeping our kids safe and our mental and physical health in the hands of humans, not AI.

Despite the blow that was dealt to reproductive rights nationwide by the overturning of Roe v. Wade 4 years ago, we'll never stop fighting to keep abortion safe & legal here in Pennsylvania.

House Democrats like @RepVenkat are fighting to protect you from predatory lenders.
The industry? They’re taking a different approach.

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…

Babies born in America are born equal citizens. Read the history of the 14th Amendment.
As Akhil Amar has shown, Congress explicitly understood at the time that even those born in America to parents not legally present were citizens.
Of all the destructive and ruinous policies aimed at the heart of our Republic, few can compete with “birthright citizenship.”
Every illegal alien, foreign visitor and visa scammer, merely by giving birth on US soil, can access unlimited welfare for life through their “American” child and send the extra cash back home to support their foreign village. That same child is granted full voting privileges upon his 18th birthday, making illegal aliens and their descendants one of the largest voting blocs in the United States.
Under “birthright citizenship” a terrorist and his terrorist wife can commit immigration fraud, come here as tourists, perpetrate a terrorist attack, give birth, and have an “American” child.
“Birthright citizenship” is an atrocity flatly and flagrantly incompatible with any concept of nationhood.

Thank you to @RepVenkat for introducing this bipartisan bill to protect Pennsylvanians from insurance companies that unfairly deny medically-necessary patient claims. It's a great example of how we can and should fight back at every level against corporate power hurting folks.

Junking Junk Fees // MAJORITY POLICY POINT
@RepVenkat
ALT Policy Point of the Day Junking Junk Fees The House Dems' bipartisan bill helps eliminate frivolous charges, including a paper statement fee that banks, credit card companies and other businesses may charge consumers when they request printed copies of their accounts. HB 81
ALT Salir de las Tarifas Basuras El proyecto de ley bipartidista de los demócratas de la Cámara de Representantes ayuda a eliminar los cargos frívolos, incluida la tarifa por extractos en papel que bancos, compañías de tarjetas de crédito y otras empresas pueden cobrar a los consumidores cuando solicitan copias impresas de sus cuentas.

Four Pennsylvania House lawmakers, led by state Rep. Arvind Venkat (D., Allegheny), want to require medical insurers to report their percent of coverage denials overturned on appeal and pay escalating fines if that rate is over 50%.

"Almost 13 million Americans in PA will now have an extra holiday, after @GovernorShapiro signed a bill into law which recognizes Diwali as an official holiday."
Grateful to my colleagues, especially @rothman_greg and @RepVenkat, for making this happen.🪔

You shouldn’t go broke because you got sick or injured.
@RepVenkat is leading the fight to end medical debt and help people all across the state - but especially in small, rural communities.
The opposition might surprise you.

.@RepVenkat said about Idaho ruling from SCOTUS: My grave concern is that we stand only with a majority of 1 seat in our state House and our governor between the chaos of what is happening in states like Idaho & Texas, and will continue after this decision today
