    WE JUST WON $125 MILLION FOR WHOLE-HOME REPAIRS! This is a direct investment in our people, our homes, and our communities, and an unprecedented victory for the coalition of housing and energy advocates, community organizers, PA residents, and legislators who backed it. 1/

    What was supposed to be a celebratory day has become a constitutional crisis. The Senate GOP is making an unconstitutional attempt to refuse the seating of my colleague, @SenatorBrewster. He was rightfully elected, his election was certified, and he is present to take his seat.

    Today the PA GOP continued its antidemocratic streak toward authoritarianism. It has created a constitutional crisis and has shamed this institution and their constituents.

    Horrified and profoundly saddened by the murder of a cyclist in the Spruce St bike lane. My heart goes out to the family of Dr. Barbara Friedes. (1/4)

    The Sixers have spent years trying to convince us to put an arena on 10th and Market, even if it means the destruction of Chinatown. The Chinatown community has been on the front lines time and again. Our city needs to rise up and support them.

    Moms for Liberty is a hate group. @AmRevMuseum is hosting them next week for a welcome event. I'm proud to join @senjimmydillon, @SenatorHughes, @SenSharifStreet, @SenTartaglione, and @SenTonyWilliams in urging the Museum to cancel this event and stay true to its stated values.

    PA Republicans want a constitutional amendment to strip away abortion care. We must: ➡️Ensure a pro-abortion Governor and legislature. ➡️Expand abortion access in PA. ➡️Protect abortion providers from out-of-state prosecution. ➡️Defeat this proposed amendment. 🧵

    Plans to build an arena in the heart of our city pose an existential threat to Chinatown. Philly doesn’t want an arena here, and neither do I. Proud to join with so many people fighting for their homes, for their neighbors, for this beloved community, and for our city.✊🏾

    Today I joined @jvplive, @IfNotNowOrg, and hundreds of Philadelphians of all faiths to call for a #ceasefireNOW and for the release of all hostages. All of us, no matter our religion, ethnicity, or nationality, deserve a life of safety and freedom, for ourselves and our families.

    The Senate voted unanimously to recognize Diwali as an official holiday! To all Pennsylvanians who celebrate this festival of light and connection: you are seen, you are welcome, you matter. Thank you, @rothman_greg, for the opportunity to join you in introducing this bill. 🪔🪔

    I will fight for the voices of working class families, Black and brown workers, and those who are undocumented to be heard in this Chamber. And I will fight for increased democracy in the Senate, the workplace, and throughout our society.

    Utterly reprehensible. @TempleUniv's retaliation to the #TUGSAStrike is anti-student, anti-teacher, anti-worker, anti-knowledge, and anti-Philly. I stand with @TUGSA_6290. ✊🏾
    Lol “for my convenience”

    This morning, the PA House Judiciary Committee voted along party lines to impeach Philadelphia’s DA. This is a direct extension of nationwide efforts by MAGA Republicans to undermine voters, decimate our democracy, and steal power to advance a racist rightwing agenda.

    Today I joined colleagues in Pennsylvania's State House and Senate in grieving the loss of thousands of Israeli and Palestinian lives and urging our Congressional Delegation to support a ceasefire. Grateful to @RepSummerLee and @RepMGS for their early support.
