ICE Knocking? Know Your Rights; Low-Income Property Tax FREEZE; Health Insurance Denials
My offices have heard from many constituents this week about the Trump administration’s “funding freeze,” which I oppose and believe to be unconstitutional. I remain concerned that this radical act will endanger vital services that so many Americans rely on such as Medicaid, SNAP, Meals on Wheels, Head Start, and veterans’ services.
I’m pleased that a federal judge temporarily blocked the freeze. The Trump administration has put out conflicting information. I will continue to monitor the situation and coordinate with House Democratic leadership to fight what I believe is an abuse of power by Trump. For updates on this and other federal issues, I invite you to follow my social media pages on Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Threads and Bluesky.
Know Your Rights: In light of the Trump administration’s push for immigration raids, I want Philadelphians to know your rights if ICE agents come knocking. Click here to learn more!

Reversing Health Insurance Denials
As I work to protect the Affordable Care Act (“Obamacare”) from Trump administration efforts to partially or fully repeal it, I have good news for people who have had a treatment, medication or service denied by their health insurance. You may be able to use a Pennsylvania program created by the Shapiro-Davis administration in Harrisburg that has been successful in overturning decisions and reinstating coverage in about half of all cases.
