I will proudly co-sponsor this #WealthTax bill that would raise an estimated $2.75 TRILLION over 10 years from just 75,000 families. We could use this for badly needed, job-creating #infrastructure repairs to our schools, housing, transit, roads and more!

November is National Family Caregivers Month, but we should be recognizing the sacrifice and work of family caregivers every day of the year.
My #BetterCareBetterJobs Act would allow them to return to work while ensuring home care recipients get the care they need.

The violent attack on 's husband should have been a moment of collective alarm. Instead, officials are doubling down on their campaign of fear & misinformation.
We must reject candidates seeking power through division. Read my Op-Ed:

This is not a new fight. Democrats created #SocialSecurity 87 years ago and Republicans have tried to slash it ever since.
Republicans continue to put Americans second and their special interests first.

Since 2015, I've called on the Republican-led legislature to take action on raising the minimum wage for all Pennsylvanians.
I've taken executive actions to help state employees and those contracting with the commonwealth, but only the legislature can #RaiseTheWage for all.

Let’s be crystal clear on what repealing the Inflation Reduction Act means.
The power we gave Medicare to negotiate lower prescription drug prices? Gone.
The $2,000 cap on prescription drugs for seniors? Gone.
The $35-a-month cap on insulin for folks on Medicare? Gone.

Congressional Republicans want to cut Social Security and Medicare.
They’re even saying they’ll shut down the government and let America default on its debts if we won’t cooperate with the cuts.
Talk about irresponsible.

Congressional Republicans have promised to strip Medicare of the right to negotiate drug prices and remove the $2,000 cap on out-of-pocket pharmacy expenses.
This means 63 million Americans will be exposed to higher drug prices.
