Fact check: not true. The president is literally going out of his way to make life more expensive for Pennsylvanians. His tariffs are hurting small businesses, disrupting trade, and slowing growth, while injecting chaos & uncertainty into the economy. But nice try.
Trump: My admin will continue our work to make America affordable again. Costs are WAY down. Gasoline is at two dollars and fifty cents a gallon.

Our first responders run toward danger every single day, and the Governor believes we've gotta have their backs. This budget delivers for them.

Governor Shapiro stayed at the table. Brought Democrats and Republicans together. And passed a responsible budget that gets stuff done for Pennsylvania. 💪🏼
We’re building on our progress to cut costs, expand our workforce, invest in our schools, grow our economy – and get stuff done for the good people of Pennsylvania. As I sign this budget into law today, I’m more confident than ever that our Commonwealth is on the rise.

"This is a big, big deal." @GovernorShapiro says the 2025-2026 budget includes $193 million for a NEW Working Pennsylvanians Tax Credit. It is modeled after the Federal Earned Income Tax Credit and would put money back into the pockets of Pennsylvania's working families.

Why is Trump going after America's air traffic controllers, today of all days? It's one more way to distract from his decision to increase your health insurance premiums.

The president once again leads w/ ignorance & a complete misrepresentation of how #SNAP works. Fact: the average monthly SNAP payment in PA is about $178/person. No one is leaving a full-time job and livin’ large on $178 a month. (Source: Center on Budget & Policy Priorities)
Trump on SNAP: It really puts the country in jeopardy. People who are able bodied who can do their job—they leave their job because they figure they can pick this up because it’s easier—that’s not the purpose of it
