Today we celebrate Indigenous people, cultures, and communities — and recognize the history that too often gets left out of the history books.
Wishing an easy and meaningful fast to all observing Yom Kippur.
May this Day of Atonement bring reflection, forgiveness, and renewal.
As Rosh Hashanah begins at sundown, I wish all who celebrate a happy, healthy, and peaceful New Year.
Shanah Tovah! 🍎🍯
Today marks 25 years since the attacks of September 11, 2001.

Measles doesn’t care about politics. Science shouldn’t either.
PA is facing a serious measles outbreak, with dozens hospitalized and two recent measles-associated deaths.
Families should get vaccine advice from trusted healthcare professionals, not politicians pushing conspiracy theories.

Some stories must never be forgotten.

💰 We’re working to get big money out of politics.
Our bill will stop corporations from using treasury money to influence our elections.

@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.

Today, Pennsylvania became the home of one of the greatest athletes in sports history.
As a lifelong Sixers fan who grew up watching Allen Iverson, I’ll never forget where I was when I heard the news. I have a feeling a lot of Sixers fans will say the same thing years from now.
Philadelphia is a city that loves basketball and celebrates excellence, passion, and champions. Welcoming LeBron James to one of the NBA’s most storied franchises is a historic moment for our city and our Commonwealth.
That’s why today, every member of the Philadelphia Democratic House Delegation came together to introduce a House resolution recognizing July 24, 2026, as LeBron James Day in Pennsylvania.
Welcome to Philly, LeBron. Let’s bring another championship home.

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.
Today is Black Women’s Equal Pay Day.
No one should be paid less because of who they are. Equal pay means stronger families, a stronger economy, and a fairer Pennsylvania. We still have work to do.

🚨BREAKING: Gov Shapiro signs bipartisan 2026 - 2027 Budget into law — delivering more historic investments in education, more funding for workforce development, more state troopers, more student teacher stipends, more support for child care workers, and much, much more.
If you’re struggling to afford child care, you’re not alone, the system hasn’t kept up.
Pennsylvania’s child care tax credit is based on outdated costs, even though many families pay around $15,000 a year for infant care. That means parents can’t claim what they actually spend.
