Today I’m at @penn_state to celebrate 3 years of the Pennsylvania GI Bill. While the federal GI Bill pays for schooling for military members, this law extends those benefits to @PANationalGuard spouses and children. More than 3,300 dependents have registered. https://t.co/6kNR2ub38W — PolitiTweet.org

Today we celebrate 32 years of ADA and the many achievements of Pennsylvanians with disabilities. In 2018, I signed the Employment First Act. We’re working to make Pennsylvania a model state for workers with a disability. — PolitiTweet.org

Today I’m at @crispusattucks in York to promote Pennsylvania's new Dependent Care Enhancement Program. This program will support working families by returning up to 30% of claimed child care related expenses on federal taxes. This will help an estimated 221,000 families. https://t.co/7rSTHKF0Gw — PolitiTweet.org

PA's legislature is working to get around the governor’s veto and limit abortion access. SB 106 paves the way to take away abortion rights in our commonwealth. If Republican legislators wind up in control after November’s election, they plan to bring SB 106 up for passage. https://t.co/UPlAicEPYb — PolitiTweet.org

Reserve funds play a vital role during uncertain times. When I took office, Pennsylvania had next to nothing saved. I'm proud to have rebuilt our reserves to ensure our commonwealth can provide vital services during the next fiscal emergency. https://t.co/NUAk3K6Wxh — PolitiTweet.org

1,600 Pennsylvanians lose their lives to gun violence each year. We can save lives with thoughtful legislation. I want state lawmakers to close background check loopholes, enact red flag laws, pass secure storage laws, and help us increase reports of lost and stolen guns. — PolitiTweet.org

It's on all of us to prevent sexual assault on college campuses. I'm proud to say we've made real progress in making educational institutions safer spaces for every student in Pennsylvania. #ItsOnUsPA https://t.co/3KSqN8uQVo — PolitiTweet.org

As temperatures soar to alarming levels in Pennsylvania and throughout the nation, I applaud @POTUS for taking executive action to address the climate crisis. Lives are at risk. We must pull out the stops to cut emissions and adapt to the realities of climate change. — PolitiTweet.org

We're boosting funding to Pennsylvania's Level Up initiative. Level Up will help us educate, protect, and advocate for our students — regardless of their zip code. I'm very proud of our progress to make quality education accessible for all Pennsylvanians. https://t.co/Rt3rudstRQ — PolitiTweet.org

I applaud the U.S. House for taking action to protect marriage equality. As the fundamental rights of Americans are threatened by the courts, I urge the U.S. Senate to do the right thing: Pass the Respect for Marriage Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Last year, we ensured nurses would no longer need to pay state income tax on student loan debt relief. I'm proud we secured $35 million this budget season to keep making this benefit available. It's a small thank you considering all nurses do for our commonwealth. — PolitiTweet.org

Counties need more time to process ballots. For years, I've called on the legislature to allow election officials to process ballots weeks earlier — not at 7 a.m. on Election Day. Yet, Republicans continue to hold meaningful pre-canvassing hostage as they waste time on lies. — PolitiTweet.org

This week is going to be dangerously hot in much of the commonwealth. Stay safe, and remember to keep your pets safe too. In Pennsylvania, it's the law. Throughout my administration, we've strengthened animal protection laws — including laws protecting pets in hot weather. https://t.co/diBpIVpNIb — PolitiTweet.org

I'm proud of this year's budget, but there's one thing it doesn't include: $2,000 direct payments. I'm disappointed that the legislature didn't advance my plan. But I'm going to keep fighting for it because I know Pennsylvanians need help. — PolitiTweet.org
