Was an honor to meet these Pennsylvanians with the National Down Syndrome Congress today. From the IDEA Full Funding Act to the SSI Savings Penalty Elimination Act, making sure people with disabilities have the appropriate resources and benefits they need is a priority.

Shut our government down and America loses. 2 MILLION Pennsylvanians depend on SNAP to feed their families. For me, it’s hungry Americans over party. Paying our military over party. Paying Capitol Police and federal workers over party. I choose country over party.

Food insecurity is real for many Pennsylvania families. It’s one of many reasons why I could never vote for shutting our government down. For immediate food assistance in PA, call 211 or go to www.feedingpa.org.

“Now, life.” - Eli Sharabi, former hostage, on resilience and optimism. The nightmare finally ends. May the hostages have a full recovery and may we never forget those who didn’t make it out alive. Credit to President Trump for a breakthrough ceasefire of this awful war.

I congratulate President Trump on this historic peace plan that releases all the hostages. Now, enduring peace in the region is possible. Our parties are different but we have a shared ironclad commitment to Israel and its people.

In an often cruel world, especially online with social media, we’ve got to do everything we can to support our kids and their mental health. Had a great conversation with folks from the National Association of School Psychologists about why that matters and ways to support them.

Nearly 300k Pennsylvanians would lose Medicaid coverage. Pennsylvania families would see a rise in energy costs up to $1200. Domestic manufacturing tax credits would be rolled back and the U.S. would lose $50 billion. And now this massive deficit added. Once again, I am a NO.
