- The attack on #USPS has larger implications across communities, from folks who depend on it for medication to disenfranchising millions and undermining American democracy. We’ve sued to stop efforts to end vote by mail in PA. #ProtectUSPSwhistleblowers #SaveThePostOffice
- So this happened today! My wife and I have been blessed with another beautiful grand daughter little Amore!! Mother and baby are both healthy. #poppop
- 🧵Sen Mastriano perpetrated acts of sedition & insurrection against the United States, & must resign or be expelled from the Senate. Yesterday’s events in our capital are the result of a years-long embrace of a hateful & violent ideological movement meant to undermine democracy.
- This has become the mantra of US Republican politics. If you don’t like the results purge as many votes as you can. What happened in Harrisburg the today doesn’t happen in a vacuum. The votes were counted, the election was certified, the people & courts have spoken. #SeatBrewster
- I’ve got an answer: legalize adult-use cannabis. $400M a year without a broad-based tax hike — fueling SEPTA, not shortchanging hospitals, nursing homes, or schools. The math is simple:Democrats need to answer the question — what taxes are they willing to raise on Pennsylvanians? Taking nearly $300 million for transit from sales taxes still leaves a funding gap for hospitals, nursing homes & education.
- Today my Baby, my youngest child, my little girl took the oath to become a cadet at the U.S Military Academy at West Point! I am confident that she will do well & will serve our country w/ distinction. God Bless my" Princess Power Hour" & God Bless the United States of America.
- I voted NO on the Republican SEPTA scheme. It forces mandatory fare hikes on riders while diverting transit infrastructure dollars to rural highways. I’m committed to fully funding SEPTA without gutting the investments needed to keep it safe, reliable, and growing.
- I agree with my Republican colleagues: cannabis legalization can pass the Senate. I’m ready to work with @SenatorGeneYaw and others across the aisle to get this done. Let’s deliver a bipartisan solution for Pennsylvania.
- Pennsylvania is ready to end the prohibition of cannabis. Proud to sponsor the first bi-partisan bill to end the war on drugs, to end the war on people. #420 #420day #legalizepa
- BREAKING: WH admits decline in teen use of marijuana for states that have legalized it "We don't know why it's going down" HINT: If it's legal its actually HARDER for teens to get. #legalizeit #letsgrowpa...literallyBOOM: A top anti-marijuana official from the White House drug policy office just admitted in testimony before lawmakers that teen cannabis use is *going down* in states that have enacted legalization—contrary to fears often raised by prohibitionists. marijuanamoment.net/white-house-an…
- 700,000 Philadelphians use public transportation daily. Affordable, accessible, and reliable transportation keeps us going to work, school, and staying connected across the great state of Pennsylvania safely. PA moves because you do #SaveTheTrain 🚊
00:00 - Replying to @SenSharifStreetPublic transit is a lifeline for Philadelphia. That’s why I’m making this promise: I will not support any state budget this year that fails to include significant new transit funding.
- SEPTA faces a $240 million shortfall—and riders will pay the price unless we act. In my new op-ed, I explain how legalizing adult-use cannabis could help fund public transit and other critical services—without raising broad-based taxes. 📖
