SEPTA faces a $240 million shortfall—and riders will pay the price unless we act. In my new op-ed, I explain how legalizing adult-use cannabis could help fund public transit and other critical services—without raising broad-based taxes. 📖 cityandstatepa.com/opinion/2025/0…
Proud to stand with @PPAdvocatesPA as they fight to protect access to care in Pennsylvania. Patients should never be caught in political crossfire. Every person deserves healthcare—no matter their income, no matter their ZIP code. 📌 Read this important thread ⬇️
🧵1/ The news is confusing. Here's a breakdown of how we got here and what it means for patients in Pennsylvania: This fight isn’t over. Planned Parenthood is still in court. We’re fighting for every patient, every provider, and every community that counts on us.
Hey @SenatorMartinPA, I saw your comments on PA cannabis legalization. PA isn’t just missing out on revenue to its neighboring states, it’s missing a chance to make legal, regulated, age-restricted access the standard. Saying “no” leaves the door open for cartels and illicit…
I took to the Senate floor to urge action on SB120—our bipartisan bill to legalize adult-use cannabis. It’s time to end the budget deadlock, fund public transit, and save SEPTA from collapse. Let’s get it done. #LegalizeIt #SaveSEPTA #PABudget
The Department of Revenue will be in attendance to answer your property tax questions!

Every dollar invested in public transit in Pennsylvania returns up to $4 in economic benefits. It drives development, creates jobs and keeps our economy moving. Help us #ProtectPublicTransit!
Without adequate funding, public transit systems face cuts, delays and service shutdowns. That means real people losing access to basic needs. We can't let that happen. #GetOnBoard and join us in supporting public transit.
In a state as geographically and economically diverse as Pennsylvania, public transit connects us all—urban, suburban, and rural. It deserves more than short-term fixes. #GetOnBoard and join us in garnering support for public transit.
In just 44 days, SEPTA will slash service by 20% unless Harrisburg acts. I’m calling on the PA Senate to reconvene now, finish the budget, and fully fund public transit. Philly riders can’t afford delays. Our economy can’t either. inquirer.com/transportation…
The latest effort at legalizing adult-use cannabis in Pennsylvania is a bipartisan bill introduced Thursday by state Sens. Dan Laughlin (R-Erie) and Sharif Street (D-Philadelphia). fox43.com/article/news/p…
Public transit is a lifeline for Philadelphia. That’s why I’m making this promise: I will not support any state budget this year that fails to include significant new transit funding.
Pennsylvania CARES Initiative wants formerly incarcerated men and women to know we stand with them and will help them expose workplace bullies. This despicable behavior must end. Employers must act now and stop this toxic behavior. #noworkplacebulliesinPA
Mike Tyson has weighed in on the cannabis legalization proposal introduced in Pennsylvania by state Sens. Sharif Street (D) and Dan Laughlin (R).
Encouraging to see the PA GOP introduce a rec bill today. This bill would ensure that PA residents have access to safe, tested cannabis as opposed to the unsafe, untaxed pesticide laden stuff the illicit cartel operators are selling.
Today marks the approximate day Black women must work into the new year to make what white men made the previous year. We believe that Black women deserve to be paid fairly for their work. We must value Black women’s work and that starts with #BlackWomensEqualPayDay.
Proud to join @SenatorLaughlin to introduce #SB120 — our bipartisan bill to legalize adult-use cannabis in PA. It creates a smart regulatory framework, clears past convictions, and invests in communities hit hardest by prohibition. It’s time to get this done.
