We welcomed Gov. Shapiro to Philipsburg today!
We worked across the aisle to expand the Property Tax Rent Rebate and deliver real relief for our seniors — and starting next week, over 442,000 seniors will begin receiving checks.
Join me in Centre County as we celebrate this bipartisan accomplishment: nitter.cf/i/broadcasts/1eaJbgWkX…

"Oz does not want you to know what he knows: John Fetterman’s ability to recover from a stroke while running a top-notch campaign—all with happy warrior aplomb—is incredible...I know all of this because I’m part of this small subset of the population too."

Do what @Commish_Schmidt is doing: "Respect the people who don’t trust the process, don’t despair of their ability to understand and keep telling the truth. Habits of lying got the country into this mess; only truth-telling can get the country out of it." post-gazette.com/opinion/edi…

In publishing these links to these organizations, I am thinking about war, but also about peace. My kids ask me what Ukrainian friends are doing, and I tell them. I want Ukrainians to return healthy to the people who love them.

We can’t embrace defeatism or fatalism regarding the outcome of this war. It’s far from over, & Ukraine is fighting hard. They should not stand alone. I recommend a new Marshall Plan to rebuild Ukraine & an expanded NATO-Ukraine partnership to bolster security assistance to Ukr.
