We remember those we lost, honor the first responders, service members, and everyday Americans who stepped forward in the face of unimaginable tragedy, and stand with the families, survivors, and all those who still carry the grief and lasting effects of that day.

Measles doesn’t care about politics. Science shouldn’t either. PA is facing a serious measles outbreak, with dozens hospitalized and two recent measles-associated deaths.

Families should get vaccine advice from trusted healthcare professionals, not politicians pushing conspiracy theories. #Measles #Vaccines #PublicHealth #RFK #Conspiracy

Some stories must never be forgotten. Join us to hear Holocaust survivor Raymond Polak share his story, in his own words, at a special community forum with Rep. Mary Jo Daley and the Holocaust Awareness Museum and Education Center..

💰 We’re working to get big money out of politics. Our bill will stop corporations from using treasury money to influence our elections. Elections should belong to people, not the biggest checkbooks. #MontanaPlan #MoneyOutOfPolitics #CitizensUnited #PApolitics

Replying to @POTUS
@POTUS & @SecKennedy are endangering kids’ lives. They are anti-science and, frankly, anti-reality. As measles runs rampant & whooping cough cases rise, they don’t care. As a physician-legislator, I will continue to fight for science-informed policies to protect Pennsylvanians.

Today, Pennsylvania became the home of one of the greatest athletes in sports history. As a lifelong Sixers fan who grew up watching Allen Iverson, I’ll never forget where I was when I heard the news. I have a feeling a lot of Sixers fans will say the same thing years from now.

Philadelphia is a city that loves basketball and celebrates excellence, passion, and champions. Welcoming LeBron James to one of the NBA’s most storied franchises is a historic moment for our city and our Commonwealth.

That’s why today, every member of the Philadelphia Democratic House Delegation came together to introduce a House resolution recognizing July 24, 2026, as LeBron James Day in Pennsylvania. Welcome to Philly, LeBron. Let’s bring another championship home. #RingTheBell

Black men save millions of American lives freedom house and the first ambulance was created by Black people in 1966 Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. and the city took it over and pushed them aside. And then they tell you that African-Americans never contributed towards this country.

Today is Black Women’s Equal Pay Day. No one should be paid less because of who they are. Equal pay means stronger families, a stronger economy, and a fairer Pennsylvania. We still have work to do. #BlackWomensEqualPayDay

If you’re struggling to afford child care, you’re not alone, the system hasn’t kept up. Pennsylvania’s child care tax credit is based on outdated costs, even though many families pay around $15,000 a year for infant care. That means parents can’t claim what they actually spend.

I’m working with Rep. La’Tasha Mayes & Appropriations Chair Rep. Jordan Harris to update the credit so it reflects real costs and puts more money back in parents’ pockets.

Your home address and personal information shouldn’t be used as a weapon against you. Malicious doxxing is when someone posts your private info online to intimidate, threaten, or harass you. I’m introducing a bill to hold perpetrators accountable while protecting free speech.

I’m deeply disturbed by the apparent arson at the Northeast Philadelphia Islamic Center on Sunday. Everyone, of all faiths, deserves to feel safe in their house of worship, and there is no place for hatred, violence, or Islamophobia in our city.

I’m grateful no one was injured, and I urge anyone with information to contact the Philadelphia Police Department’s tip line at 215-686-TIPS (8477) so those responsible can be held accountable. We must stand together against acts of hate.
