At its core the state budget proposal that Senate Rs brought up for a vote today is an insult to PA'ns who have been waiting over 100 days for a state budget. I voted NO.

SEPTA's Scott Sauer is right: we need sustainable funding that our state legislature can & should provide. While Senate R leadership continues to stall our budget, I continue to stand ready to vote YES on measures that would ensure the longevity of PA's public transit: buff.ly/8HaNjxT

(🧵) So-called "leaders" in DC continue to spew dangerous misinformation about medications & vaccines. Instead of falling victim to it, what we *can* do is continue to support the science, listen to the real experts, educate ourselves, and work together to keep one another safe and healthy.

Abortion remains safe and legal in PA & I will always fight to keep it that way.
I recently reintroduced the Abortion Protections Package with Sen. Schwank to protect patients and their right to bodily autonomy despite other states' efforts to strip that right away.

(1/2) PennDOT's $394 million allocation in capital funds to SEPTA is a last resort measure and simply not a sustainable solution to the transit funding crisis our region – and Commonwealth – faces. And, our Commonwealth is still left without a state budget.
