Last week, House Republicans passed a bill pushed by President Trump that is estimated to kick more than 50,000 Philadelphians off Medicaid health coverage. However, as far as I’m concerned, the fight is not over!

Seniors in the 3rd Congressional District are invited to my annual Senior Resource and Wellness Fair, next Friday, May 2, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., at Community of Compassion Inc., 6150 Cedar Ave., Philadelphia, 19143. 

President Trump’s tariffs announcement on Wednesday amounts to the largest tax increase on Americans in at least 30 years.I OPPOSE it!

I Voted NO on ‘Blank Check’ for Musk & Trump

● President Trump thinks Americans should “shut up about egg prices.”

● House Republicans are pushing a budget plan that is “likely to lead to” Medicaid cuts, and this week, President Trump endorsed it. More details are below!

I’m continuing to work with Democratic colleagues in Congress and outside organizations to push back against actions by the Trump administration.

Many Philadelphians have contacted me asking what’s being done to fight abuses by the Trump administration, including actions by the “DOGE” team led by a billionaire Trump donor - unelected, unconfirmed Elon Musk.

President Trump continues to flip-flop on things like a funding freeze affecting programs and benefits that Americans rely on, or whether he’ll slap new taxes (tariffs) of up to 25% on your groceries (currently paused, but only for 30 days).

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.
