Tonight, Pennsylvania tragically lost one of our finest when State Police Corporal Tim O’Connor was killed in the line of duty. I was at Paoli Hospital this evening with Corporal O’Connor’s wife Casey and his parents Maureen and Tim. My heart breaks for Tim and Casey’s young

Instead, @SpotlightPA goes for clicks – bringing their salacious approach to a serious story. And in the process, they ignore the facts and blatantly leave out critical context. This is irresponsible reporting and Pennsylvanians are worse off because of it. 7/end

The @ICEgov warehouses being planned across the country are extremely serious. Many PA'ians are rightly scared – and angry at ICE for buying these warehouses in PA and for their treatment of immigrants and American citizens. This issue deserves serious, fact-based reporting. 6/

But @SpotlightPA did not include any of that context in their story. Instead, they wrote an inaccurate lede and made a misleading graphic. The public first became aware of these plans at the exact same time as the Shapiro Admin – and we've been working to stop ICE since. 5/

@WaPo first reported on ICE's "plan" to open a detention warehouse in Tremont, PA on 12/24/2025. That is 3 weeks before @SpotlightPA says "a state agency learned" about these plans. 3/

The Trump administration wants to build seven large-scale deportation hubs to speed up deportations, internal ICE documents show.

Most importantly, the lede & framing of this story are blatantly inaccurate. @SpotlightPA's lede is written to make it sound like state government knew about these facilities before the public. That is false. 2/

We work on dozens of news stories every day. Sometimes we agree with the premise and framing, sometimes we don't – that's OK. But this from @SpotlightPA is extremely irresponsible for an outlet that claims to do "high-quality" reporting. 1/

A source close to the Shapiro administration said the agreements were already complete by the time it learned of the plans.

Bravo @GovernorShapiro! Many high school students will object.... for about a week, and then they'll discover that it's much more fun to talk and joke with their classmates than to spend the day on their phones. Be prepared for loud lunchrooms and hallways again.

It’s time for us to get cell phones out of the classroom and create a healthier environment for both our teachers and our kids. That’s why I called on the State Legislature to send a bill to my desk requiring our schools to implement a “bell-to-bell” cell phone ban, limiting

An absolute disgrace that a GOP State Senator is attacking the Pennsylvania State Police for bringing the Shapiro family home after a man set fire to the Governor’s residence and tried to assassinate them.

@GovernorShapiro responded today to the assertion by GOP State Sen. Tracy Pennycuick that he broke protocol by bringing his family to their home after the Governor's Residence was bombed last year, along with the GOP probe over security upgrades to his home. @fox43
