No child should be separated from his/her parents, and certainly should not be caged!

These migrant families have been through hell. We have to hold the Administration accountable because these families deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. I am also going to keep pressing because it’s essential that these children have healthcare when they arrive.

Leaving literature in Haverford Township’s 9th Ward and reminding voters of our great candidates like @GovernorTomWolf & of the importance of voting twice for for Congress, once in the new 5th District and once in the old 7th District. #BlueWave2018

How many people have to die in houses of worship, concerts, work and schools before this Congress will do something? Please make gun safety a priority as you go into the polls on November 6 and select your candidates.

The President just blamed the #PittsburghShooting synagogue for the parishioners it lost. “They should have had an armed guard.” No, they should have had a Congress and a President who worked to take the most dangerous weapons from the most dangerous people. #EnoughIsEnough

Thank you, Dr. Ford, for your courage. Your testimony did not change the outcome — these GOP Senators were not interested in the truth — but it did change the country. You have inspired millions of Americans, women and men.
We will not forget your bravery.
Or their cowardice.

The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) is set to expire on Sept. 30. Reauthorizing this federal law and improving protections for survivors of domestic violence should not be delayed. We must demand better.

Today we need to remember: Dr. Christine Blasey Ford and the others who have come forward have done so with incredible courage, fully knowing that their character would be attacked and terrible things said about them. Their lives will never be the same. We owe them our respect.

We expanded Medicaid, giving an additional 720,000 Pennsylvanians the health care they need. We cannot roll back Medicaid expansion, hurting hundreds of thousands across our commonwealth. RT if you agree →

Happy #NationalPennsylvaniaDay! As the birthplace of independence, the home of Mr. Roger's Neighborhood, and the top brewer of craft beer in the nation, it's no wonder we're #PAproud today and every day.

Women in PA are paid 77 cents for every dollar paid to men. This is why I took action in state agencies to address the gender pay gap. The PA legislature should do the same throughout our commonwealth → RT to let them know.

As a Congressional candidate who had her info. stolen by Guccifer 2.0 in order to weaken my candidacy, I applaud Mueller for the 12 indictments of the Russian agents. Calling for the cancellation of Trump-Putin Summit before more damage can be done to our democracy. #Guccifer20
Quote Tweet
American reporters who took stories from Guccifer 2.0 or DC Leaks have to wonder if they weren't used as a tool of a foreign military intelligence operation against our country.

Many families come to the US fleeing persecution in their home countries and seeking safety. Any parent would do the same and move mountains to protect their family and make the decision to seek a safer and better life in America. #PutFamiliesFirst

Did a few events in Washington County this weekend 4 Bibie @Boerio4Congress, my former Chief of Staff running for PA’s 14th Congressional! Especially enjoyed the Vet event … lots 2 do, & she is the 1 to do it — I know, as she did it constantly while we served our nation 2gether
The Court’s decision is a major step backward for working families and the middle class. For generations, unions in our country have fought for and won protections we all enjoy, including the 40-hour work week, weekends, paid time off, and improved conditions. #Union

If we're going to reverse the 40-year decline of the middle class and reduce the widening gap between the super-rich and everyone else, we must restore the constitutional right of workers to collectively bargain for a better life.

U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders and John Fetterman (John was my classmate at the PCCC, Advanced Candidate Training.), two people who really care about the middle and working class. #PCCC

As a former College Professor, I have seen students graduate with $100,000 in debt and no job at graduation. Sen. Bernie Sanders is right; a country as wealth as ours should guarantee government jobs with livable wages and help our students eliminate their college debts.

Barbara Bush was a remarkable woman. She had grit & grace, brains & beauty. She was fierce & feisty in support of her family & friends, her country & her causes. She showed us what an honest, vibrant, full life looks like. Hillary and I mourn her passing and bless her memory.
