My mom and dad were public school teachers. They taught me firsthand the difference a great teacher can make in a young person’s life.
On World Teachers’ Day, I’m grateful for Pennsylvania’s teachers and all they do for our students and our future.

FOR THE FRAUDSTERS!
Pennsylvania has always been a place where we make things.
Today, we celebrate the men and women who keep that proud tradition alive and inspire the next generation to build, create, and innovate.
Happy Manufacturing Day!

Hard to put into words what it means to see this.
Marc’s case was one of the first I took on in the Senate, and I’ll never forget the night we welcomed him home after nearly four years in Russian captivity.
Seeing Marc and Steve together again in Pittsburgh is a powerful full-circle moment. Grateful to have been involved in the efforts to bring this great Pennsylvanian home.

This is the 1st time Steve Witkoff & Mark Fogel have been together in quite some time; interview today in Pittsburgh was powerful, emotional & really deeply peeled back the entire story of his harrowing release from a Russian prison where he had been held from nearly 4 years

This is a huge step in the right direction for parents and students.
@USTreasury’s new rules provide a clear path to expand educational freedom and help families choose the education that works best for their children, regardless of ZIP code.
Pennsylvania now has the information it needs to opt in. I encourage the governor to do so and create expanded opportunities for kids across our commonwealth.

Permitting reform is key to unlocking our full economic potential.
$1.5 trillion in energy investment is being held back by permitting uncertainty. We need clear approval timelines and legal certainty for approved projects.
We must pass permitting reform this Congress.

We can’t let fear dictate America’s future while China moves forward on AI, especially when Beijing is fueling opposition here at home.
Local communities must decide if data centers are right for them. Any deal must protect ratepayers and deliver real local benefits.

My friend @SenFettermanPA and I agree that America can’t govern by panic or partisan posturing, especially about AI.
We need a clear-eyed, bipartisan, country-first approach that protects Americans and ensures we win the AI race with China.

Banning stock trading in Congress and requiring basic voter ID to vote are two common-sense measures overwhelmingly supported by both Republican and Democrat voters.
Today, Senate Democrats voted against both at once by blocking the Stop Insider Trading Act. Shameful.

My longtime friend Ken Griffin’s $3 billion investment is a major moment for @CarnegieMellon, Pittsburgh, Miami, and America’s innovation future.
Congratulations to President Farnam Jahanian and the entire CMU community!

I’m in Washington today, but my heart’s in Pittsburgh. Ken Griffin’s $3 billion commitment to @CarnegieMellon is the largest individual gift in higher education history.
Pittsburgh is helping lead the next era of American innovation.

America needs to build again.
It shouldn’t take years of red tape to build a power plant, open a critical minerals mine, or strengthen our grid.
We can protect our environment without making it nearly impossible to build the infrastructure America needs to compete.

Americans expect integrity in their elections and accountability from the people they send to Washington.
Voter ID and stopping members of Congress from trading stocks are common sense measures.
That’s why I’m proud to support the Stop Insider Trading Act.

Very big news for Pittsburgh supporting our three best assets; energy, innovation, and I'd personally argue the best workforce in manufacturing in the country.
Pittsburgh has always reinvented itself.
As a former @CarnegieMellon trustee, I know what my friend Ken Griffin’s extraordinary $3 billion investment means for CMU and for Pittsburgh: $1 billion to strengthen the university’s Pittsburgh campus and $2 billion to launch Carnegie Mellon University Miami.
It’s a huge vote of confidence in an institution that is helping shape America’s future.

As a former Division I college athlete, I know how important college sports can be to student-athletes and their communities.
And since coming to Congress, I’ve heard from Pennsylvania student-athletes and universities, both big and small. They all told me the same thing: College sports have become the Wild West.
Tonight, I voted to pass the Protect College Sports Act to establish a national standard for NIL agreements, clarify eligibility and transfer rules, protect student-athlete scholarships, and support women’s and Olympic sports programs.
I believe it’s our best shot to stop the chaos and bring some certainty and fairness to college sports.

The Education Freedom Tax Credit is a generational opportunity for Pennsylvania students.
Just 10% participation by eligible PA taxpayers could unlock nearly $323 million in K-12 scholarships every year.
Pennsylvania needs to opt in.

Today, we honor the Gold Star mothers and families who carry the weight of the heavy burden of sacrifice most Americans will never know. Their loved ones gave everything for our freedom. We owe them more than gratitude. We owe them a lifetime of remembrance.

Recently, I visited the 911th Airlift Wing in Pittsburgh to meet with leadership and see firsthand the critical work these Airmen do to keep our nation safe, including their support for current operations in the Middle East.
I’m committed to ensuring the 911th has the resources and infrastructure it needs to remain mission-ready and continue its vital work right here in PA.
