@PAGovOffice @GovernorShapiro Key energy priorities:

1) Tries to bring PA into RGGI, costing ratepayers $1.6 billion/yr

@dieworkwear Romans 10:9 - "because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."

Confession matters but belief must also be present.

🤳SELFIE SHAPIRO: in 2025, Gov. Shapiro posted over 350+ TikToks while the budget impasse dragged on and Pennsylvanians struggled to afford rising costs.

Word of advice, @GovernorShapiro - put the phone down and actually get to work in 2026.
