Our neighbors in New Jersey just began selling recreational cannabis. That means Pennsylvanians are crossing the border to partake in legalized marijuana. Those profits should stay here, in Pennsylvania. Legislature: Let’s #LegalizeIt. https://t.co/gGvSNvJUMw — PolitiTweet.org

Under my plan, households earning $80,000 or less will get up to $2,000. We can do this with federal recovery dollars and not touch a penny of state money. I call on Republican leaders to put politics aside and work with us to get this money out to Pennsylvanians who need it. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro

Today I'm at @SalvationArmyUS in Reading to talk about the critical need to get financial help to PA'ians. Times are tough for families. The good news? We have federal funds and a plan. The problem? Republicans refuse to disperse those funds. And if we don't use it we lose it. https://t.co/AKnSrw4cOA — PolitiTweet.org

We’ve invested more than $50 million in community programs that work to prevent gun violence. These programs: 🛟 Focus on those most at-risk of gun violence 🎓 Link people to counseling, education, and jobs 🗣 Mediate conflicts 🫂 Support victims and their families — PolitiTweet.org

We have $2 billion in unspent federal relief funds just waiting to be distributed to Pennsylvanians. People need help now. But Republicans refuse to act. https://t.co/XI8TqUFB1z — PolitiTweet.org

I expanded Medicaid to 700,000 Pennsylvanians. Health care is a human right. — PolitiTweet.org

To truly root out bigotry, we all must take a stand against it and remember where hatred can lead. Working together, we can promote peace and acceptance. We can build a better commonwealth and world. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro

By remembering the Holocaust, we honor those lost and enshrine the need to thwart bigotry. Hate crimes have risen nationally. I've made it a priority to curb them in PA by: - Investing $9M to protect places - Instructing @PAStatePolice to better track and combat crimes — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro

I'm with the Pennsylvania Jewish Coalition on this solemn day to remember those we lost to the horrors of the Holocaust. Remembering is essential. These horrific evils were acts of ordinary people driven by bigotry and leaders fanning the flames of fear and anger. https://t.co/grpWKyuGmT — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro

Why do we need criminal justice reform? Simply because our current system doesn’t work. We're all safer and more productive when we have a system that prioritizes rehabilitation and reentry to society. #ReentryMatters https://t.co/0Fgqr3mrRx — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro

There has been a tragic spike in gun violence. Pennsylvanians are demanding commonsense gun reform. Today we call on the General Assembly to stop pushing dangerous legislation and start protecting lives. Lives hang in the balance. We can't afford to wait. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro

I am begging the legislature to pass gun safety legislation so I can sign it into law. Here's what we need: 🚪Close the background check loophole 📣Require reporting of lost and stolen guns 🔒Improve safe storage requirements 🚩Provide a way to remove guns from dangerous people — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro

My administration has invested more than $50 million in gun violence prevention. I joined an agreement with the governors of NJ, NY, and CT to share gun data across state lines. And I signed an executive order with actions to help lessen gun violence in PA. It's not enough. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro

Today I'm joining @CeasefirePA's rally for Take a Stand Against Gun Violence Advocacy Day. I've taken every measure I can think of to lessen gun violence through executive action. Gun violence can't be stopped by executive action alone. We need our legislators to take action. https://t.co/szpfg9PiBx — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro

I’ve provided a $15 min wage, paid leave, and LGBTQ+ protections for state workers. As governor, I can do this for state workers—but not all PA workers. For that, we need the legislature. I've been fighting for this for years, and the legislature has blocked it for years. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro

We can make an incredible impact on the lives of Pennsylvanians when we put education first. https://t.co/BdEcEPqCIV — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro

I want to send direct payments of up to $2,000 to PA households with an income of $80,000 or less. We have more than $2B in federal relief funds ready to spend. Tell our Republican-led General Assembly it's time to get this money out to PA'ians who need it... before we lose it. — PolitiTweet.org

Only 35% of Pennsylvanians are protected by local nondiscrimination ordinances. We need comprehensive statewide LGBTQ+ protections. Tell your legislators to send me the bipartisan Fairness Act. https://t.co/eY88WPOXQX — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro

In 2019, I took executive action to reduce our commonwealth's impact on the planet. So far, agencies under my jurisdiction have reduced energy usage by 12%, saving taxpayers more than $8 million. I'm proud of our work to create a more sustainable state government. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro

I'm happy to be in Allentown to break ground at the new home of @davinciscience. PA invested $11M to help construct their new 67,000 sq/ft facility. For nearly 30 years, they've brought science to life––teaching STEM skills to young minds. I'm excited to see what's next. https://t.co/ms6P2R0iBi — PolitiTweet.org

It's official. I'm proud Pennsylvania is on the path to becoming a leader in the fight against climate change through the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative. https://t.co/GOKBmW9JPA — PolitiTweet.org

To jobseekers fleeing state-sanctioned bigotry: You are welcome at the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Unlike others, I've used my executive authority to expand protections for LGBTQ+ state employees. Find your place with us at https://t.co/6kZi3DfHuS. https://t.co/8PwfJ25wE0 — PolitiTweet.org

Operating our commonwealth takes $5 million/hr. In 2015, our reserves only had enough to sustain services for a few minutes in an emergency. I've repaired our fiscal position. Yet Republicans continue to hoard federal aid—risking the loss of >$2 billion meant to help PA'ians. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro

Proud to have been a part of this moment with @TCS and @CarnegieMellon. TCS Hall will certainly serve as a beacon of inspiration and empowerment for the next generation of CMU STEM students. I'm excited to see it come to life. — PolitiTweet.org
