What the @PASenateGOP did yesterday in not seating @SenatorBrewster is a miscarriage of justice and democracy - and yesterday was just our FIRST day of the 2021-22 session.

We should be alarmed about what they plan next. Here's why ⬇️ Legislative Republicans have shown no regard for the other branches of government.

They ignored court rulings, including the PA SUPREME COURT's ruling that affirmed @SenatorBrewster's victory. The judiciary doesn't matter to them.

Today, I opposed the nomination of Senator Jake Corman to President Pro Tempore.

I do not do this lightly, but I feel very passionately that he is not suited to this role. The President Pro Tempore is to be a leader for the entire body – not of one party.

No where in the Constitution does it say that the leader should be beholden to the partisan whims of his own party.

You may have recently seen news reports of Republicans in the House and Senate seeking to do a partisan review of last week's election. Here is why I oppose these efforts.

⬇️ Thread ⬇️ There has been no evidence of fraud & there's no reason for this additional review. It is reprehensible for Republicans to parrot allegations from the outgoing President without any evidence, casting aspersions on our state and county officials who act with the utmost integrity.

Today, @GovernorTomWolf announced a more realistic, flexible approach to crowds at indoor and outdoor events. These new capacity limits will go into effect on Friday the 9th of October.

Here's what the new rules are ⬇️ Indoor events venues with maximum capacities between:
•1 and 2000 will be capped at 20% of maximum capacity
•2001 and 10,000 will be capped at 15% of maximum capacity; and
•10,001 and above will be capped at 10% of maximum capacity, but no more the 3,750
