It’s a dark day for reproductive rights in America.   But I want every Pennsylvanian to know abortion services are available and unharmed by today’s ruling.   To women and pregnant people in surrounding states and across the country where this isn’t the case: You are safe here. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro

It’s time to make history and start saving lives. I'm grateful for the U.S. Senate’s passage last night of the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act — the most significant update to the nation’s gun laws in decades — and eager for swift action by the House and a signing by @POTUS. — PolitiTweet.org

Pennsylvanians need help. I won't stop pushing for my plan to send out direct payments until we get it done. Tell your legislators to pass the PA Opportunity Program: https://t.co/lNTqALDw36 https://t.co/DWWbOuOJDe — PolitiTweet.org

.@January6thCmte findings are clear: Rep. Perry drove a brazen attempt to corrupt @TheJusticeDept. He fueled election lies for months leading up to the insurrection. That very night, he dismissed the will of PA voters. I encourage Rep. Perry to do the right thing and resign. — PolitiTweet.org

Early education improves the lives of children, their families, and their communities. That's why education will always be my top priority as governor. And I'm proud to say we’ve added 17,000 early education slots since I took office. — PolitiTweet.org

Abortion will stay legal in Pennsylvania as long as I'm governor. — PolitiTweet.org

I applaud the action on gun violence taken by the U.S. Senate this week. Their proposed bipartisan gun safety legislation would be the most significant measure taken to combat gun deaths in decades. When passed, it will save lives. — PolitiTweet.org

The Pennsylvania State Capitol is lit for #PrideMonth. It's been a tough month, with Republicans here and across the nation pushing legislation targeting LGBTQ+ kids. But I want you to know: You belong here, and our communities are better because of you. https://t.co/McOpZ2wotZ — PolitiTweet.org

Pennsylvania now has: 📍Stronger registration requirements for sexual offenders ➕More protections for crime victims with intellectual disabilities ⏰Mandated timely testing of rape kits — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro

I'm thankful to have worked with the legislature to strengthen crime victim protections. Together, we: 🚫Removed guns from domestic abusers 💍Made it easier for victims of spousal abuse to get divorced 🚔Made female genital mutilation a first-degree felony — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro

I took executive action to raise the minimum wage for state workers to $15/hr. The legislature still hasn't made any headway on passing worker protections for ALL Pennsylvanians. Here's what I'd like to see: ✅ Safer workspaces ✅ Guaranteed paid sick leave ✅ $15 minimum wage https://t.co/4DXDSZNVS9 — PolitiTweet.org

A bill to reduce gun violence was considered today in the PA House Judiciary Committee. Republicans voted to remove a provision raising the assault weapon purchase age to 21 and replace it with a provision to legalize carrying a gun without a permit. They should be ashamed. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro

As long as I'm governor, I'll fight to protect and expand LGBTQ+ rights in Pennsylvania. — PolitiTweet.org

Days since Pennsylvania's last minimum wage increase: 4,715 Days since I first raised the minimum wage for state workers: 2,297 Days since the Republican-led legislature took action: n/a It's time to #RaiseTheWage. — PolitiTweet.org

Prices are soaring. Pennsylvanians shouldn’t have to wait any longer for help. We have more than $2B in use-it-or-lose-it federal funds. I want to use it to send direct payments up to $2,000 to households making less than $80,000. Tell your legislators: Get this money out now. — PolitiTweet.org

PA taxpayers deserve to know where their money is going. When fully enacted, these updates will create more transparency and financial accountability for charter schools. In the future, I hope the legislature will realize their responsibility and stop dodging necessary reforms. https://t.co/Sy54xwzBoZ — PolitiTweet.org

Every year since I took office in 2015, I've donated my entire salary to charity. I'm proud to join state employees in donating millions to our annual charitable giving campaign — and to be the first governor to pledge their entire salary to this cause. — PolitiTweet.org

Red flag laws allow us to take action when someone who has a gun begins to act erratically. Red flag laws still require due process, and any removal of weapons is temporary. https://t.co/IVPHgbrvhD — PolitiTweet.org

Today is the 10th anniversary of #DACA, which helped hundreds of thousands of children avoid deportation from the only place they call home. Dreamers in Pennsylvania and across the nation deserve a path to citizenship. It's time for Congress to finally make it happen. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro

OTD in 2021 I took executive action to update @PennsylvaniaGov workplace sexual harassment policies to reinforce protections for LGBTQ+ workers. All Pennsylvanians deserve equality in the workplace. The GOP-led legislature can make that happen by passing the Fairness Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro

Here's what I still want to see for all Pennsylvanians: ⚠️ Raise the minimum wage to $15/hr for all workers ⚠️ Pass paid sick and family leave ⚠️ Expand child care access — PolitiTweet.org
