I'm testifying in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee on ghost guns.

Follow along on twitter or watch my remarks here: judiciary.senate.gov/meetings/stop-… Image I’m thankful that this subcommittee is taking Ghost Guns, the emerging weapon of choice for violent criminals, seriously and has given us time today to let you, the U.S. Senate, and our country better understand this rapidly growing public safety challenge.

Texas seeks to invalidate elections in four states for yielding results with which it disagrees.

Its request for this Court to exercise its original jurisdiction and then anoint Texas’s preferred candidate for President is an affront to principles of constitutional democracy. Texas obviously lacks standing to bring such claims, which, in any event, are barred by laches, moot, meritless, and dangerous.

Texas has not suffered harm simply because it dislikes the result of the election[.]

These continued attacks on our fair and free election system are beyond meritless, beyond reckless -- they are a scheme by the President of the United States and some in the Republican party to disregard the will of the people-- and name their own victors. This isn't a pick your own ending novel -- this is a Democracy.

I’m speaking on the police reform bills @GovernorTomWolf is about to sign.

A first step that proves we can make meaningful change in our system when we work together and listen to the people.

attorneygeneral.gov/stream Today PA becomes one of the only states in our country to change its laws in the wake of George Floyd’s murder.

People across our Commonwealth took to our streets righteously calling for real improvements to a broken system.

My Office has been getting price gouging tips from all over Pennsylvania.

We’re investigating every one -- and here’s just some of what we’ve found so far:

👇THREAD👇 In Erie, PA we found a store that had increased its price on a single can of Lysol to $7.55.

There was also a grocery store that was selling a bottle of Purell for $9.99 -- that’s double what it should’ve been selling for.

#BREAKING

@PaSenate just eliminated criminal statute of limitations on childhood sexual assault‼️

W/ this gone, Bob Corby of Bethlehem, now 84, could have had his day in court.

He’d have been able to see the priest who abused him when he was a boy — brought to justice. Tonight, the voices of Survivors were heard.

I stand proudly alongside these brave souls, who’ve waited 15 long months since the release of the Grand Jury’s Report on clergy abuse, to see the jurors’ 4 recommended reforms be brought to the PA Senate floor for a vote.

The @realDonaldTrump @HHSGov "Refusal of Care" rule puts people’s lives at risk, which is why we've taken them to court - to try and protect patients.

This hypothetical thread breaks down what's at stake: The rule creates multiple barriers to care at nearly every step in the process.

Let’s imagine a patient - a woman w/ an ectopic pregnancy.

She goes to her doctor for an ultrasound & the ectopic (non-viable) pregnancy is confirmed. She'll die if the pregnancy isn't terminated.
