Democrats should embrace tariffs as one part of a broader industrial strategy to revitalize 🇺🇸 manufacturing and make whole communities hollowed out by bad trade policy. This isn’t just about making the economy work for more people; it’s about earning back trust and faith.

Many of my constituents support smart tariffs, particularly ones that target China. So do I. Most Americans—especially those w/o college degrees—support tariffs in part, economists suggest, because places hurt by global competition view them as “a sign of political solidarity.”✊
If you oppose all tariffs, you’re signaling that you’re comfortable with exploited foreign workers making your stuff at the expense of American workers. I’m not and neither are most voters.
President Trump’s tariff approach has been chaotic and inconsistent. There’s no doubt about that. But the answer isn’t to condemn all tariffs. That risks putting the Democrats even further out of touch with the hard-working people who used to be the lifeblood of the party.
👋Fellow Democrats, the party needs to rethink all the anti-tariff absolutism. I’m a Rust Belt Democrat from swingy Western PA—where lousy trade deals like NAFTA stripped us for parts. Democrats need to break free from the zombie horde of neoliberal economists who think tariffs are always bad. 🧵
This firing of thousands of VA staff is a betrayal of my fellow veterans and an attack on veterans' care and services. You better believe we’re gonna fight it. 👊

That's why I'm a proud co-sponsor of the Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act—it will level the playing field for workers, protecting the freedom to form and join a union, and taking on union busters that break the law. (2/2)
Western PA is sacred ground for the labor movement. We know that a union mean better pay and benefits, a safer job site, better training, and more. (1/2)
Social Security taxes are only paid on the first $180,000 of income—it doesn’t make any sense that someone making $1 million will cap out today and stop paying Social Security taxes, while hardworking people keep chipping in a bigger share. It’s fiscally reckless, and I’m on a bill to change it.
That's why I've co-sponsored the "Keeping Our Field Offices Open Act" and the "Beneficiary Data Protection Act."
I won't stop fighting to protect Social Security. (2/2)
Social Security is a promise to our seniors that after a lifetime of hard work, they can retire with dignity.
That promise is being chipped away at by DOGE-led efforts to close Social Security field offices and access seniors' sensitive private data. (1/2)
The Trump Administration has shut down the financial cop on the block. And they’re already making it easier for big corporations to rip off and take advantage of folks. Not good for hardworking people! www.wesa.fm/2025-02-27/t...
The corporate stranglehold over our economy is ripping us all off. We've got to take on corporate power to lower costs.

A potential loss of over $163 million to Western PA would risk jobs and set back lifesaving research on diseases like cancer. (2/2)
Thank you to @unitedsteel.bsky.social for hosting a roundtable discussion with unionized Pitt workers to strategize on how we can fight the Trump Administration's attempts to slash funding for the National Institutes of Health. (1/2)
The Republican budget proposal is a fiscally reckless grift that funnels more tax giveaways to billionaires and offshoring corporations on the backs of people's healthcare.
In Western Pennsylvania, we teach our kids to stand up for their friends, to tell the truth, and that their word is a sacred bond. Our leaders should do the same. (2/2)
In just the last few hours, my office has already received around 50 calls from constituents sharing their disgust at President Trump’s treatment of our ally, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy. (1/2)
I'm a HARD NO on the GOP fiscally reckless budget plan to defund healthcare and throw more tax handouts to corporations and billionaires.
Thank you Governor Shapiro for having PA's back and fighting this illegal freeze of Congressionally-authorized funding. 💪
