Tonight, I am praying for our State Troopers and their families. Every day, our brave police and first responders put themselves at risk to keep us safe. We can’t accept gun violence as inevitable. We must do more to keep law enforcement and our communities safe.

It's been 100 days without a state budget.

There's no excuse for letting our schools, senior centers, crisis centers, small businesses & neighbors go without essential resources. To my Senate Republican colleagues, come to the table and let's get this done.

We’re dedicated to fighting misinformation and the stigma around autism. Our medical professionals should be able to devote their time to helping patients and researching instead of fighting falsehoods around neurodiversity.

I joined @padempolicy.bsky.social for a hearing to sort facts from fear on acetaminophen and autism. This hearing featured medical professionals who separated fact from fiction and detailed the danger of the White House’s claim on the supposed source of autism.

I joined PA @momsdemand.bsky.social for their Suicide Prevention Day of Action in Harrisburg. Almost 60% of gun deaths in PA are people dying by suicide.
@pahousedems.com know we can’t afford to wait for the next tragedy to act. It's time for us to pass gun safety bills that will save lives.

My heart is aching for the Grand Blanc community. It is horrifying for people to be attacked while peacefully worshipping together on a Sunday morning. We owe it to one another to end the senseless violence that is shattering communities across our country.
