Lieutenant Governor Fetterman's commitment to progress and public service is what we need more of in the Senate. Pennsylvania is one of our best chances to flip a Senate seat from red to blue. I know that with our help @JohnFetterman will make it happen.

Our goal is to ensure that every child has access to the very best education possible – whether it is at a public, private, parochial, charter, or home school. Whatever decision is made, it must be made not by bureaucrats, formulas, income, or zip code – but by parents.
Honored to be at Lutheran Northwest High School today with a true champion for parents, teachers, and students, @BetsyDeVos! It’s time to #LetMIKidsLearn!

I think it was Socrates who said: "Let him who would move the world first move himself.” #CoryStories
Americans overwhelmingly support the right for every woman to control her own future. But Republicans want to overturn #RoeVWade and force their unpopular agenda on the rest of America.
We can't go back. Never.
My message to the graduates of 2022: We need you.
We need you to serve at the highest levels of government and determine our country’s standing in the world.
We need you because your perspective—the sum total of your intellect and lived experience—will strengthen our country.
We must all join in denouncing the heinous act of domestic terror that was carried out in Buffalo, and in standing up to those who spread the racist ideology behind it.
I’m proud to support Finland and Sweden as they seek to join NATO. I enjoyed discussing this with Finland’s Ambassador Mikko Hautala in my office yesterday.
Tucker Carlson and Fox News promote dangerous, racist, white supremacist lies and conspiracy theories.
That's cowardly.
Amplifying racist lies and propaganda is simply not debatable.
It should have no place in America.
Thanks to Jim from AAA Vacuum Superstore for having our #YorkCentre PC candidate @VoteKerzner and I by your fantastic store today.

Biden assails bigotry after Buffalo attack, says ‘white supremacy is a poison’ https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2022/05/17/biden-buffalo-shooting/
Why do American citizens need a negative COVID test to re-enter their own country but people coming here illegally do not?
.@TuckerCarlson invited me on his show tonight to debate the letter I sent to @FoxNews.
I'm declining. Tucker Carlson needs to stop promoting the racist, dangerous ‘Replacement Theory’.
Texans: Are you ready to counter white supremacy, defend abortion rights, and protect trans people from attacks by right-wing state government?

To Rupert Murdoch and the executives at Fox News:
Words of condemnation for white supremacist violence are not enough.

Today, we're in Buffalo with @POTUS, @FLOTUS, and more to mourn with the families and community.
I will continue to stand with them, to oppose the poison of white supremacy, to work towards ridding our streets of weapons of war, and to ensure Buffalo has the resources it needs.
We’re saying YES to #WorkingForWorkers as we get more people into the skilled trades. The other parties have given up on blue-collar workers.
We’re the only party that is encouraging apprenticeships and creating highly skilled jobs now and for future generations. #ONPoli

It should not be hard for elected officials and candidates to disavow paranoid white supremacist fantasy like "great replacement" theory. It should be a bare-minimum requirement for engagement in politics.

.@JeffBezos is a thin-skinned billionaire lashing out as a distraction from @Amazon’s shameful treatment of workers and its massive tax avoidance.
@POTUS’ plan will fight inflation by making giant corporations pay their fair share & fund investments like affordable child care.
