More spending on a broken system? That's not fiscal responsibility, Governor Shapiro. That's recklessness. Reforms like work requirements for able-bodied adults and more frequent eligibility checks would reduce waste, fraud, and abuse while ensuring those who need help, get it.

🚨🚨@GovernorShapiro's $900k social media team is just the start. He’s spending $3 MILLION a year of YOUR tax dollars on a 21-person comms team—a self-promo machine for his political ambitions. Watch below and ask yourself: is this really helping our state?

PA taxpayers are paying more than $1 BILLION for weight loss shots for people on welfare. "Cut the fat" from the state budget! ✂️💸

Shapiro's plan? Spending BILLIONS more than revenues so he can claim he's "getting stuff done" – and you will foot the bill. If @GovernorShapiro gets his way, families could face a $2,000 tax hike as soon as next year to pay for his deficit spending.💸💸 CC @NathanBenefield

Energy policy isn’t about headlines. It’s about innovation, power, and jobs. And Pennsylvania can lead on all three. 🎯⚡️

The path to affordable energy runs right through Pennsylvania. So why are we blocking the road with bad state-level energy policy and onerous regulation? 🛣️⚠️

When fraud eats up healthcare dollars, real patients pay the price. Accountability is how we protect the safety net. 🩺🛡️

You shouldn’t have to win a lottery or move zip codes to get a decent education. That’s not equity—it’s injustice. Educational choice now! 🎒🏫

High energy bills aren’t just an inconvenience. They’re a kitchen-table crisis. Unleash PA energy = lower costs, more security. 💸📉

Pennsylvania spends over $23K per student on public school funding—yet thousands can’t read on grade level. It’s not underfunding. It’s funding a broken system. 📚💸

Still no budget deal. Still no leadership from Gov. Shapiro. Just bad ideas and reckless spending.

We can have energy independence and environmental progress. PA’s natural gas already proved it.💪⚡️

It was funny seeing @GovernorShapiro at Tuesday's Energy and Innovation Summit, considering his energy policies would lead to less affordable and reliable energy. Our President and CEO @AndrewLewisPA was at the summit and shared his perspective on unleashing PA energy.

Our President & CEO @AndrewLewisPA attended yesterday’s Energy & Innovation Summit in Pittsburgh, witnessing the announcement of historic investment in our commonwealth. The time for unleashed Pennsylvania energy is now! 🇺🇸⚡️

Pennsylvanians want to work. It’s time our laws stopped getting in the way. From licensing to union rules—reform means opportunity. 🔧💪

"After months of inaction, [House Democrats] are ramming through an unbalanced spending plan that does nothing to address the state’s financial problems or provide accountability to the countless failing systems being kept afloat year-after-year by state-funded bailouts."…

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: PA House Democrats Pass Unbalanced, Reckless Spending Bill commonwealthfoundation.org/2025/07/14/pa-…

Natural gas gave us cleaner air and lower bills. Let’s build on that—not bury it under red tape. 🏭🌿
