Thank you to the @PhillyPolice, the @PAStatePolice, and all of our law enforcement partners for protecting public safety today in Philadelphia. In the midst of blatant antisemitic targeting of Jewish-owned restaurants on the anniversary of Kristallnacht, the City of Brotherly Love showed up to support our neighborhood businesses and prove once again that hate has no place in our Commonwealth.

My Administration has been in touch with local officials in Philadelphia ahead of the planned protest on Sunday that’s designed to intimidate and drive Jewish businesses out of our communities. Hate and antisemitism have no place in our Commonwealth. And I’m grateful to state and local law enforcement who will work to make sure our neighborhoods remain safe this weekend. cnn.com/2026/11/05/us/philad…

LIVE: Last night, Pennsylvania elected a Democratic trifecta in our legislature for the first time in decades. Join me as I take questions from the media: xitter.gq/i/broadcasts/2brkYAnpd…

BREAKING: We just won in court to stop the Trump Administration from ripping Medicaid away from the Pennsylvanians who need it most. Donald Trump and RFK Jr. clearly don't give a damn about the people who rely on Medicaid to get the care they need — but we do here in Pennsylvania. I'll continue standing up to protect our most vulnerable Pennsylvanians and make sure they can access the health care they deserve.

Starting next school year, a bell-to-bell cell phone ban will take effect in every single Pennsylvania classroom. We’re getting back to the basics and keeping our classrooms focused on learning.

BREAKING: The PA House and Senate just officially passed a bell-to-bell ban to get cell phones out of our classrooms. I called for this in my Budget Address and repeatedly urged the legislature to act — and now, we've brought Democrats and Republicans together to get this done for our students and our educators. It's time to get back to the basics in school and let our kids be kids.

BREAKING: I’m taking historic action to protect PPL customers from higher energy costs and hold data center developers accountable for their energy use. Pennsylvanians shouldn't have to pay higher electric bills because data center developers plug into the grid. That’s why I filed to intervene in a utility rate case that would force PPL to stop passing data center energy costs on to consumers. It’s time for data center developers to pay their fair share. And I’ll continue fighting to make sure utility companies are focused on keeping costs down while maintaining safe and reliable service.

LIVE NOW: @PhilaPort is a global center for trade — and a vessel of opportunity for Pennsylvania's economy and workforce. Join Sec. Carroll and me as we announce our historic $837 million plan to fuel the largest expansion in the port’s history. WATCH: xitter.gq/i/broadcasts/1vJpPNAev…

Today we lost one of Pennsylvania’s finest — Philadelphia Police Officer Shane Seiber, who was shot and killed in the line of duty. Lori and I are praying for Officer Seiber’s loved ones and the entire @PhillyPolice family as they grieve the loss of one of their brothers in uniform. Our law enforcement officers are the very best of us. They put their lives on the line every day, running towards danger to keep their fellow Pennsylvanians safe, not knowing if they will return home. We owe them our deepest gratitude. I’ve ordered U.S. and Pennsylvania flags on all Commonwealth grounds to fly at half-staff in honor of Officer Seiber’s memory — may it forever be a blessing.

I’ve spoken with Mayor Devlin and offered my Administration’s full support following the tragic mass shooting in Erie last night — killing nine of our fellow Pennsylvanians. My heart breaks for this family. Lori and I are praying for their loved ones and the entire Erie community.

Lori and I are praying for the two Philadelphia police officers shot in the line of duty early this morning. Our hearts are with their families and their fellow officers in the @PhillyPolice. Law enforcement officers put their lives on the line every day to protect their fellow Pennsylvanians. We are grateful for their courage and service, and we are all hoping for their full and speedy recovery.

BREAKING: @GSKUS, the global life sciences company, has chosen Pennsylvania AGAIN and is expanding its business here with a new $800 million state-of-the-art facility in Montgomery County.   With this investment, they’ll continue producing the latest medicines to help treat diseases like asthma and cancer, while growing our life sciences industry here in King of Prussia.   Our economic development strategy is working — it’s delivering results and allowing us to out-compete other states for deals like these.
