We held a hearing on this issue a year ago, and experts on mental health, school safety and learning all said the same thing: get the phones out of the schools. So we did.
BREAKING: The PA House and Senate just officially passed a bell-to-bell ban to get cell phones out of our classrooms. I called for this in my Budget Address and repeatedly urged the legislature to act — and now, we've brought Democrats and Republicans together to get this done for our students and our educators. It's time to get back to the basics in school and let our kids be kids.

Proud to join Magee nurses, patients & community members speaking at the board meeting this evening. It’s long past time to treat your healthcare professionals fairly, set safe standards and stop wasting public funds on union busters!

Every authoritarian playbook starts the same way: discredit the experts, defund the researchers, then tell the public to trust you instead. I stand with @PittTweet
JD Vance: "Some of America's most elite universities bring in foreigners to undercut the wages of American residents. There are 9 universities in particular that we believe merit an investigation. Those are Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Brown, the University of Pittsburg, UC Davis, Cal Tech, Arizona State, and MIT."

Aaron Bernstine should resign from the House. Pennsylvania is better and bigger than this. Deeply grateful to the PA Building Trades leaders who stood up in real time, and for every single one of you who has since. We deserve better and we have to demand It.

It’s no surprise that Aaron Bernstine is threatened by a serious legislator and gifted communicator like my friend Malcolm Kenyatta. But Malcolm is too talented, determined and committed to be deterred by ugly slurs. We’ll know Malcolm’s name long after this guy is forgotten.

Today, Ryan's Law was unanimously voted out of committee in the Senate. The path is narrow, but we can still get it to the Gov's desk this year!
Ryan's Law passed the PA House 174-27 on Monday. Tell the Senate to choose compassion and take up HB2254 ASAP!

Thank you to the AC BOH. This policy is important for families and important for attracting young families to our region. One more vote …
The Allegheny County Board of Health has approved a paid parental leave program, mandating 12 weeks of paid leave for businesses with 15 or more employees. The proposal now moves to the County Council for consideration. #AlleghenyCounty #PaidParentalLeave #Pittsburgh #Pittsburgh

I am grateful to the @PAHealthDept for its crucial work educating the public with empathy and respect and making sure anyone who wants a vaccine for themselves or their child can get one.

If you or your child aren't up to date on the MMR vaccine, talk with your doctor. It's safe, effective and the best protection against measles. In my district, you can also reach out to the Squirrel Hill Health Center @ 412-422-7442 or ACHD’s Immunization Clinic @ 412-578-8062
