Senate Republicans think they're hurting Democrats by dragging out the budget, but they're hurting everyday PA'ns.
People like Danielle, a speech therapist in my district who's had to reduce services and take a 25% pay cut to keep her practice afloat while early intervention funding is in limbo.

Let's be honest. The PA budget impass isn’t gridlock, it's sabotage.

I'm thrilled that the Governor’s EO adopts a measure I've introduced with @senvincenthughes.bsky.social & @senpisciottano.com to require insurers and Medicaid to cover approved vaccines.
Political games and unnecessary cost barriers should never stop us from protecting our health and our families.

Amidst the chaos and confusion surrounding federal vaccine recommendations, I applaud the actions Governor Shapiro announced today to provide clear, science-backed guidance and to protect vaccine access for every Pennsylvanian.

This is the most destructive bill Congress has passed in American history.
To specifically target our most vulnerable populations and take away health care and food assistance of hundreds of thousands of Pennsylvanias is egregious and we must hold these leaders accountable.

This harmful legislation would strip healthcare from hundreds of thousands of Pennsylvanians, increase costs for working families, and reduce access to healthcare providers—all to fund more tax cuts for billionaires.

When hospitals and nursing homes across Pennsylvania are forced to close their doors, when seniors can no longer access care, when families must choose between medicine and meals - remember who made these cruel choices: the Republicans who wrote and voted for this catastrophic legislation.

Remember: Trump's disastrous bill is NOT law yet. It now heads back to the House of Representatives for reconsideration, so we cannot let up the gas. Let's remind our representatives that they work for We the People, not just the wealthy few.

This bill is not about "protecting women’s sports." It's about control. It's about weaponizing government to erase and exclude people simply for being who they are.
Pennsylvanians deserve solutions to real problems, not division and political theater. I will be a NO vote.
