I joined Allentown Mayor Matt Tuerk at Central Elementary School this morning to hear from educators and staff. The school is one of seven local summer meal sites that ensures the city's kids are being fed nutritious meals when school is out of session. https://t.co/TgIbKVGdEp — PolitiTweet.org

The federal minimum wage last went up on this day in 2009. Nowhere in the country is $7.25 a family-sustaining wage for a full-time worker. Nowhere. It’s past time for a raise. — PolitiTweet.org

Yesterday, I had the privilege of meeting the first responders who saved the 100-year-old @AmericanLegion building in Milton. Thanks to their swift response, this local chapter of the Legion will continue serving veterans and their families in Northumberland County. https://t.co/UiqRMUFtIz — PolitiTweet.org

Home care is essential to millions of seniors and people with disabilities. It remains out of reach for 820,000 Americans on wait lists. It’s about damn time we lived up to our ideals by making a historic investment in their care. — PolitiTweet.org

Thursday's January 6 hearing revealed just how little President Trump cared about the life and safety of his Vice President, Members of Congress, law enforcement and the very democracy he swore an oath to defend. We need accountability to ensure this never happens again. — PolitiTweet.org

PA-based @WeisMarkets’s in-store pharmacies have administered 400,000+ COVID-19 vaccines over the past year. Grocery companies like Weis kept the Nation running in the early days of the pandemic & remain key pillars of communities across the Commonwealth & Nation as we recover. https://t.co/YCsQ9aY9ea — PolitiTweet.org

The Walker Lake Dam in Snyder County is classified as a “high hazard potential” dam. If it failed, towns would be destroyed. Thanks to @POTUS's infrastructure law, it will see repairs & rehabilitation. Funding will help extend the lifetime of the dam while keeping residents safe. https://t.co/nOSiuazDKp — PolitiTweet.org

Funding from the American Rescue Plan allowed the Berks Community Health Center to expand testing, treatment and vaccinations for COVID-19. #PAMapSpotlight https://t.co/hhZwyle8hZ https://t.co/TGAgiDlOsZ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

Donald Trump and his allies in the GOP spent years enabling Vladimir Putin. Since Putin started a war that's led to higher gas and food prices, Republicans have blocked efforts to send more aid to Ukraine and give American families relief from global inflation. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

Republicans in Congress oppose legislation that would go after corporate price gouging. They voted against a bill that would've addressed the infant formula shortage. Aside from blaming @POTUS, they have no plan of their own to fight inflation. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

Our economy is recovering from a pandemic and ensuing recession at record pace, thanks to swift action by Democrats and @POTUS. Meanwhile, the GOP has no plan of their own aside from ’oppose every effort to get inflation under control.’ — PolitiTweet.org

My Black Lung Benefits Improvement Act would ensure that every coal miner suffering from black lung disease receives the benefits they’re entitled to. Red tape shouldn’t stand between them and their health care. https://t.co/Y635sMFhiw — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

Right now, corporations can spend money on anti-union campaigns and meetings and then deduct the expense from their taxes. That's outrageous. My No Tax Breaks for Union Busting Act will put an end to it. — PolitiTweet.org

With federal funding, the Altoona-Blair County Airport is upgrading key infrastructure and purchasing snow removal vehicles to keep the airport running during winter storms. #PAMapSpotlight https://t.co/HEyxQZlInA https://t.co/87WqPs9aNM — PolitiTweet.org

Heatwaves are becoming more frequent & hazardous to public health. Climate change represents both a threat to our future & public health. Acting on climate isn't only good for jobs & our economy, but also our lives & the lives of generations to come. https://t.co/06zO0CXzGF — PolitiTweet.org

I just hung up with @POTUS who sounded great and is in good spirits. Looking forward to welcoming him back to NEPA sometime soon. Get vaccinated and boosted, everyone. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

Wishing a full and speedy recovery to @POTUS. His mild symptoms are both a relief and testament to the importance of vaccines and boosters. Get well soon, Mr. President. — PolitiTweet.org

ICYMI: More than a quarter of all Americans live with a disability, yet the Dept. of Justice no longer issues biennial reports on federal website accessibility. I’m leading a group of Senators in calling on DOJ to resume their reporting. https://t.co/IUTcI3XT6Q — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

While Republicans blame and block, here's what Democrats and @POTUS are proposing: ✅Increase US manufacturing so we make more things here in America ✅Tax excess oil profits, giving the money back to Americans ✅Boost clean, domestic energy production — PolitiTweet.org

Gun violence is an epidemic in America. In fact, hospital care for victims and their families top $1 billion a year. The Safer Communities was a critical starting point for congressional action, but it cannot be the last. #TollOfGunViolence — PolitiTweet.org

Only one Commonwealth can say It was home to the great Clemente And Wawa and Hoagies, or Sheetz and Pierogis To all Happy #PennsylvaniaDay! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

We cannot allow 820,000 seniors and people with disabilities to languish on home care waiting lists. We cannot claim to be the best nation in the world without providing the best home care in the world. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

I applaud Rep. @DonaldNorcross for introducing the House companion to my #NoTaxBreaksForUnionBusting Act! Anti-union propaganda shouldn't be tax deductible and corporations shouldn't be rewarded by the tax code for it. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

Every American has the right to marry who they love. It's more important than ever that marriage equality be enshrined into federal law. I support the Respect for Marriage Act and look forwarding to voting for it on the Senate floor because LGBTQ rights are human rights. — PolitiTweet.org

OTD in 1968, the first Special Olympics were held at Chicago’s Soldier Field. These games are not only an impressive display of athletic achievement – they’re part of an #InclusionRevolution. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

The Senate of 2022 is not the Senate of 1972 or even 1992. The filibuster has broken what was once the world's greatest deliberative body. If we hope to make lasting changes that benefit generations of Americans, we've got to change with the times and meet the moment. — PolitiTweet.org

Funding from @POTUS’s infrastructure law will help support rural schools in Warren County. #PAMapSpotlight https://t.co/LaEaFubjVm https://t.co/l7rLC8DYZm — PolitiTweet.org
