A big welcome home to the brave Sailors and Marines who served on the USS Lincoln! They are finally back on American soil after their 300+ day deployment. The Congress must get to the bottom of the conditions these patriotic Americans faced during their lengthy deployment.

Went to Penn Hills, PA on Monday night to hear from my constituents about the issues that matter most right now—this cost-of-living emergency, AI and data centers, the reckless Iran War, and more.

We are now past 1,000 measles cases in PA—including right here in Allegheny County. This is dangerous stuff, but thankfully this is a disease that vaccines can prevent. Let’s look out for our neighbors (and especially the babies too young to get the vaccine).

📍Great conversation tonight in Penn Hills on the first stop of my Town Hall Tour. Rising costs, reckless wars, and restoring the American Dream are on ALL our minds right now—in Western Pennsylvania and across America. Excited to hear from folks in Carnegie and Beaver Falls next!

Nearly 900 healthcare workers at UPMC Magee have spent 8 months negotiating their first union contract. Safe staffing means safer care. These frontline workers deserve a seat at the table and a fair contract. @deluzio.house.gov , @khanna.house.gov & I are calling on UPMC to bargain in good faith.

Clearfield County is home to Moshannon—the largest ICE detention center in Pennsylvania. I did an unannounced oversight visit there in May and learned that the large majority of people inside were classified as “low security”—not charged with serious or violent crimes.
