I introduced a motion to subpoena the Epstein files. We got the votes. Today, we got the subpoena. The DOJ has 2 weeks to release the Epstein files to the Oversight Committee. Justice must apply to everyone, no matter how rich, powerful, or well-connected they are.

At 36 days, Republicans have officially caused the longest government shutdown in US history. We can & should ensure folks can afford healthcare, fund SNAP, AND reopen the government. @SpeakerJohnson, stop the games & bring us back in session so we can do the work of the people.

Republicans have put working families between a rock and a hard place time and again and now they're making false promises to hide the fact that they're betraying the American people. We live in the wealthiest country on the planet––we can have affordable healthcare and food

NEW: Democrats are showing signs of splintering as the outlines of a deal to end the shutdown fall short of what many have drawn as a red line — an agreement to extend Obamacare subsidies. @jordainc @JAscholtes @meredithllee https://t.co/WKKU0VmLVd

From PA to DC, I've heard from countless folks telling me what SNAP means for them: sending their child to school with lunch, or being able to make a meal after a long shift. SNAP is not a bargaining chip, and we will keep pushing until the Trump admin fully funds SNAP.

Rather than partial funding with significant delays, the White House could transfer funds to fully fund SNAP right now. This is a band-aid for a festering wound that will hurt 42 million people much sooner than this admin will admit.

Pennsylvanians deserve healthcare that is affordable, accessible, and meets their needs. Instead of working towards that for working families, Republicans are manufacturing a healthcare crisis that will jack up insurance costs for thousands of people and kick thousands more off

Today, families are waking up to no SNAP benefits & seeing that their healthcare premiums will skyrocket. Republicans talked about making things affordable––they lied. In the wealthiest country in the world, we can & should make sure everyone has food to eat & care they need.

🚨 A federal court just blocked Trump's attempt to cut off food assistance from 42 million people. We cannot and will not allow the lifelines we depend on, whether it's SNAP or healthcare or anything else, to be used as bargaining chips.

It's been over a month since @SpeakerJohnson has brought the House back into session. Our jobs can't get done if he won't bring us back. Republicans have dragged this shutdown on for too long. We must negotiate a bill to protect healthcare & reopen the government. Folks are

For years, food banks have struggled to keep up with rising demand. Now, Republicans are refusing to fund SNAP to support them. We can fund SNAP, protect healthcare, AND reopen the government. Anything less is a reflection of political unwillingness to support working families.

The reports of mass killings and starvation coming out of el-Fasher are horrifying. The Sudanese people have suffered for years. The international community must stand with them and hold the RSF accountable for the genocide it is committing.

If Head Start programs aren’t funded on November 1st, thousands of children and families will be left without access to early learning programs and child care. Child care is already inaccessible to so many. Republicans must end this shutdown immediately.

SNAP is a lifeline that helps thousands in PA-12 put food on the table. It must not be used as a bargaining chip. My colleagues and I demanded @USDA use the designated contingency reserve to fund SNAP, but they rejected the call. The only thing stopping them from feeding

The Republican government shutdown is set to delay the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) here in PA. As we enter the colder months, if you rely on LIHEAP or you need assistance, don't hesitate to reach out to my office for support. https://t.co/mTd4t6hShq

State officials say Pennsylvania has not received its federal allocation for LIHEAP. Assistance could open on Dec. 3, if the funds begin to flow before then.
