America used to do big things—we built the transcontinental railroad, we put a man on the moon, we electrified the nation, and more. But the promise of the American Dream has since gotten out of reach as Washington politicians pursued policies that shuttered factories and sent jobs overseas. I want my kids to know an America that works hard, builds strong, and dreams big. That’s why I’m introducing my Build America Plan to help us reindustralize the USA.

🚨 HUGE NEWS: the bell-to-bell ban on cellphones in schools is headed to the Governor to sign. This is a big win for PA students, parents, & educators. I’ll keep fighting down in Washington for kids to have the right to learn free of addictive social media and technology. Congrats to @RepSteele, @SenRobinsonPA, and all who helped make this happen. cbsnews.com/philadelphia/new…
Our children deserve schools where they can focus, learn, build friendships and just be kids. We must push back against Big Tech and get smartphones out of schools. It's time to put our children's health and futures first - the #PaHouse passed a bill today to do just that.

The Iran War has cost the average American family more than $2,000. We are ALL paying for this reckless war that Trump and Hegseth started.
WSJ: The war in Iran has exacted a big toll on the average American pocketbook, costing "the average American household more than $2,000."

We need to repeal the Republican cuts to healthcare. But we can't stop there. Congress should take even bolder action to build a healthcare system that saves lives and money: Medicare for All.

Today is International Day of the Air Traffic Controller. Air Traffic Controllers have some of the toughest and highest-pressure jobs out there, making sure our skies are safe to fly for the American people. So let’s send some appreciation to @NATCA air traffic controllers and aviation workers in their fight for safety—both for workers and the flying public. 🛫

I voted NO on this sanctions bill because I thought it was foolish to give even more power to Donald Trump. And look what he just did with it: he waived all the bill’s sanctions on Russia, a total gift to Putin. This undermines our friends in Ukraine, who have fought valiantly for their sovereignty.

.@modulehousing is a manufacturing startup building modular housing that folks can afford—piece by piece, floor by floor—right here on a site in Scott Township. I visited with @RepSummerLee on Friday to see how Western PA is driving to restore the American Dream—one home at a time. 💪

📍Great afternoon with folks in Beaver Falls discussing AI safety, veterans’ care, and the Iran War. Three stops, hundreds of folks across Western PA. This October Town Hall Tour was all about hearing directly from the people who send me to Congress to represent all of us.

Pete Hegseth has no business leading the Pentagon. His failures are plain for all to see, and now even Republicans have joined the calls for his removal.

My heart goes out to the kids and community who are hurting after yesterday’s deadly school shooting at Silver Rail Elementary in Oregon. These senseless tragedies should not happen in America—we need leaders to support laws to stop this gun violence. apnews.com/article/oregon-sc…

We need national action toward real AI safety. The world needs American leadership in this moment. Instead, Republican Speaker of the House Mike Johnson sent Congress home for seven weeks.

A hard-earned paycheck no longer covers the cost of living in this country—and workers are being left behind. We need to build an economy that rewards hard work—not just wealth—so that a day's work pays off. usatoday.com/story/money/eco…

Happy 251st birthday to our U.S. Navy! Proud to have served in the world’s greatest Navy—and thankful for every patriotic Shipmate who has stepped up for our country since 1775. ⚓
The Framers of the Constitution understood our freedom depended on our strength at sea. That is why generations of Sailors have answered the call to protect our nation on the deck, beneath the waves, and in the skies above. 251 years. One team. One fight. 🇺🇸⚓

It's time to reform the Supreme Court. Strict ethics reforms, 18-year term limits, and more.

Terrible to hear the news of another mass shooting, this time in Erie, PA. I join our region in mourning the 9 Pennsylvanians dead in this tragedy.
I’ve spoken with Mayor Devlin and offered my Administration’s full support following the tragic mass shooting in Erie last night — killing nine of our fellow Pennsylvanians. My heart breaks for this family. Lori and I are praying for their loved ones and the entire Erie community.
