This year, game-day staples are more expensive thanks to President Trump’s blanket tariff-taxes and war of choice. And most of the House Republican majority keeps going along with both!

Happy Hispanic Heritage Month, Philadelphia! As we celebrate and uplift the rich history, culture, and contributions of Latino communities in our city and beyond- let’s remember we are stronger because of diversity, not despite it!

On this solemn day, let us pause to remember the thousands of innocent lives taken from us twenty-five years ago in New York, Pennsylvania, & Virginia– and let us honor the survivors, their loved ones, & the brave heroes who put their lives on the line to save others that day. We will never forget.

Last July, President Trump and congressional Republicans slashed billions from SNAP. Today, nearly 60,000 kids in Pennsylvania have been kicked off this critical program- just so Republicans can give another tax cut to billionaires.

Donald Trump’s record is clear. Trump could provide economic relief RIGHT NOW for Americans by ending his war of choice and chaotic tariff-taxes. Instead, he’s peddling more false promises.

Congressman Dwight Evans @repdwightevans.bsky.social · 09/09/2026
Donald Trump said he would lower costs on day one. Over a year and a half in, and all he's done is sent prices skyrocketing — costing Pennsylvania families over $4,200.

Happy Labor Day, Philly! Today, we celebrate the hard-fought achievements of the labor movement and the workers who continue to make our country stronger. As a longtime supporter of labor, in Congress I’m proudly championing policies that protect workers’ right to organize & raise the minimum wage!

Congressman Dwight Evans @repdwightevans.bsky.social · 31/08/2026
While today marks 62 years of SNAP, Donald Trump and congressional Republicans are trampling the mission and gutting billions from this this critical program. There is nothing “beautiful” about tens of thousands of families across our commonwealth struggling to put food on the table. (1/2)

The Third Circuit’s ruling against Congresswoman LaMonica McIver sets a dangerous precedent and threatens the checks and balances at the heart of our democracy. EVERY Pennsylvania Democrat in the House stands with her - read our full statement here:

#WomensEqualityDay is not only a time to honor the generations of trailblazers who have paved the way, but a reminder that this fight is far from over. Let us honor their legacy by continuing to fight for true gender equality- at the ballot box, in the workplace, and beyond.

Happy first day of school, Philadelphia! Our children are our future. That’s why I have proudly supported our educators and families and always will, to ensure our children have the resources and tools they need to succeed!

As child care grows more expensive, Head Start has given kids, no matter their zip code, a chance to succeed. But the Trump-Vance administration’s proposed cuts would leave our kids fewer teachers and instruction options. (1/2)

From gas to groceries to health care, prices are up across the board. And what is Donald Trump doing? Not ending his war of choice. Not lowering costs for you. He’s showing off his latest vanity projects. And most Republicans in Congress just keep enabling him.

Congressman Dwight Evans @repdwightevans.bsky.social · 19/08/2026
In 2025, on average, American families LOST $1,625 thanks to Trump’s economic policies. Meanwhile, the president made at least $2,200,000,000. That’s more than 1,300,000 TIMES the amount families lost. Trump’s economy is always about serving himself, never the American people.

Congressman Dwight Evans @repdwightevans.bsky.social · 18/08/2026
The ratification of the 19th Amendment was a historic step forward in fulfilling the promise of our democracy. But as Republicans' SAVE America Act threatens to block millions of women from voting, this fight for women's suffrage is far from over.

Today, while we celebrate 91 years of the Social Security Act, Trump and congressional Republicans are putting Social Security at risk. As they try to dismantle this EARNED benefit, I’m fighting back alongside fellow Democrats in Congress to protect and strengthen it for generations to come! (1/2)

#TBT to my conversation earlier this year with my constituent Carolyn. As Trump continues his war of choice and working families are burdened with the rising costs, our conversation still rings true. Trump and congressional Republicans’ priorities are backwards and not putting Americans first.

Congressman Dwight Evans @repdwightevans.bsky.social · 12/08/2026
This year, families going back-to-school shopping in Philly and beyond are facing painfully high price hikes. Parents shouldn’t have to make budget cuts or take on debt just to stock their kids’ backpacks, but this is the reality of Republican economic failures.

Congressman Dwight Evans @repdwightevans.bsky.social · 11/08/2026
$5.1 million for gold-covered statues. $16 million for an algae-filled reflecting pool. $600 million for a gold-filled ballroom. Families are struggling to keep up with the rising cost of living, but this is what Trump is spending your taxpayer dollars on.

I’m proud to reintroduce the VITAL Act! More than 1 in 4 adults have some type of disability, yet less than 6% of our housing supply is designed to be accessible. My bill would help increase affordable housing that is accessible for our most vulnerable communities!

#OTD in 1965, Medicare and Medicaid were signed into law— creating a lifeline that has helped millions of Americans access health care. Now, as the GOP enacts the largest cuts to our health care system in history, House Democrats are fighting back to restore and strengthen these programs.

Donald Trump promised to lower prices on "day one." But thanks to his illegal war of choice, Pennsylvania drivers have paid over $1,758,411,750 extra on gas. That's nearly $375 per household! More details: www.jec.senate.gov/public/index...

A lot has changed in the last 17 years. But the federal minimum wage has not. Congress must pass the #RaisetheWage Act. Across the country as the cost of living keeps climbing, our federal minimum wage must be a livable wage!

Happy Birthday to the late, great Nelson Mandela! An unwavering champion of equality and justice, and personal hero of mine, today especially I’m reminded of his words: “For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.”

Six years ago, we lost a titan, a champion for the voiceless, the Conscience of Congress, and my dear friend and personal hero- John Lewis. Today and every day, let us follow in his footsteps. As he once said: “Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble.”

It was a pleasure to welcome @governor.pa.gov, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, and a bipartisan Congressional delegation to Philadelphia last week as we celebrated our democracy where it began, and the 250 years of hard-fought progress we have seen since!

Congressman Dwight Evans @repdwightevans.bsky.social · 09/07/2026
158 years ago, the 14th Amendment was ratified, guaranteeing birthright citizenship, equal protection, and due process. As these rights are under siege by this president, GOP-controlled Congress, and Supreme Court extremists, we must continue fighting to protect this backbone of our democracy.

This is the reality of one year under Trump’s big ugly tax cut for the wealthiest. And exactly why Democrats in Congress are fighting to reverse it.
Cuts to food aid and health care

Happy Independence Day, Philly! 250 years ago, right here in Philadelphia, we threw off the reins of monarchy — declaring independence from a tyrannical king and creating a nation under the enduring promise of liberty and justice for all. (1/2)

Tomorrow marks one year of millions of Americans losing access to their health care and food assistance just so Trump could give another tax cut to billionaires. While the GOP celebrates, House Democrats are fighting to restore this critical funding and undo these tax breaks.

This year, your holiday celebrations are more expensive thanks to President Trump’s tariff-taxes and illegal war of choice.
