Please send prayers to the officers and those involved in the shooting in York County. As we learn more, follow all guidance from police and stay away from the area.

The “why” is that PA Senate Republicans blew the deadline to pass a transit funding bill that would have allowed SEPTA to continue operating all services. House Dems have passed 5 such bills
SEPTA GM said Eagles Home Opener will be chaotic…here is why: “No extra express coupled with 20% less regular trips. Normally stage 10 extras at NRG to run for the hour after the game, will only have 3-4 trains during that time per the regular schedule. For a night game, that could be a bigger issue because we’ll have a hard stop for service a little after midnight where normally we run past the schedule to get crowds out as needed. So if we normally take about 16,000 people postgame, we’re looking at only about 4,000 after the opener”

SEPTA is on the chopping block. The 32 & 65 bus will be cut on Monday and service on other lines will be cut. Senate Republicans must do their job. #septa #philly #transit @5thSq @PaHouseDems

Our plan has made it to the front page of the Inquirer. Let’s keep tax dollars right here at home and invest in our transit system.

Since I was elected, my Republican colleagues spew how they are repulsed by “SEPA’s spending.” I just circulated a memo that would ensure that each region in PA funds its own schools,transit and police using their own resources. See below the proposed (not final) regions ⬇️

The Pennsylvania Senate Democratic caucus has 23 members all prepared to vote YES on Governor Shapiro’s proposal to fund public transit across PA – a proposal that the Democratic-controlled House of Representatives has passed four times already. Let's get it done.

Phil has spoken. We may have six more weeks of winter, but we’ll always have Groundhog Day in Punxsutawney. See you next year!

We know everyone wants to help with the aftermath of the tragic plane crash. The best way to help is to stay clear of the site. No more donations are needed - please support organizations you know do good in our communities all year long, and protect yourself from scammers!

Violence targeted at any political party or political leader is absolutely unacceptable. It has no place in Pennsylvania or the United States. I have been briefed on the situation. @PAStatePolice are on the scene in Butler County and working with our federal and local partners.
