Every member of congress who votes for this reconciliation bill will be voting to cut Medicaid coverage and food assistance for hundreds of thousands of Pennsylvanians. The impact of this vote would be devastating — and it will be on them.

Enjoyed meeting with @penndems.bsky.social to discuss what the Dept. of Education actually does and why everyone regardless of age should care about attacks on public ed. It was great to engage with future leaders seeking ways to support public schools. Thanks for having me! #PhlEd #HandsOffPublicEd

We had a great time making calls tonight for @maloneforsenate.bsky.social and Dan Goughnour! These two PA Special Elections are crucial for @padems.org to flip a State Senate seat and retain the House majority. @turnpablue.bsky.social @pahdcc.com
