Today is Read A Book Day. My favorite author is Robert Caro and his series on President Lyndon Johnson. Who’s your favorite author, and what is your favorite book by that author?

On this National Food Bank Day, when we unfortunately are seeing so much food insecurity due to poverty, inflation, and cuts to food assistance, let’s thank food banks, including the @PghFoodBank and the @NHCOhelps Food Pantry, for their work to support those in need.

Job Market - Stalled Inflation - Rising Unemployment - Increasing We are experiencing stagflation like the 1970s. We can stop this by ending the destructive Trump economic policies and especially the unconstitutional and regressive tariffs. nbcnews.com/business/econo…

I joined @PADemPolicy to hear testimony from unions, energy companies, utilities, and agriculture on the construction of data centers in PA. This is an important economic opportunity, but we need to make sure that it is done carefully to avoid increased energy costs for consumers

As an immigrant I've always taken pride in my family being able to live the American Dream. What we don’t often discuss is how dependent our nation is on immigration. For the first time in American history, we're on track to see a decrease in population. derekthompson.org/p/the-us-popul…

Pittsburgh and our region are defined by the Three Rivers. Today, I joined @RepKinkead, @RepGoughnour, and the @PADemPolicy to discuss waterfront development and how best we can leverage tax credits and state policies to get the most value out of our rivers across PA.

In PA we depend on pharmacies to receive vaccines. Now @CDCgov and @SecKennedy are threatening that access just as the respiratory virus season begins. Proud to work with @RepTarik, @RepBridget, and @RepOMara on a bill that would protect access to vaccines from pharmacists in PA.

Great week door-knocking in Emsworth & Kilbuck. My neighbors & I spoke about the anti-science, anti-vaccine attacks from @POTUS & @SecKennedy. This is endangering all of us. As our only physician-legislator, I have a special obligation to act. My statement below on next steps:
