- In Lancaster County our team caught and stopped a suspected widespread voter registration fraud operation before the election. Then we had a press conference and put out the word to other counties so they could stop it too, even though the PA Dept of State refused to warn them.

- In Lancaster County we rejected the crazy arguments by the Casey for Senate legal team to count illegal ballots in a 3-0 unanimous, bipartisan decision. The PA Supreme Court has again affirmed this position.

- In Lancaster County we stand for the rule of law and fair elections.

WATCH: The Screaming Eagles honor the fallen at Normandy ahead of D-Day's 82nd anniversary.

[Rep. Lloyd Smucker @RepSmucker]

Today's jobs report is further evidence that Republican policies are strengthening our economy and creating opportunities for American workers.

The Working Families Tax Cuts help businesses grow, expand, and hire, giving workers more opportunities to succeed.

They refused to bathe. They refused to salute. They poached deer from an English lord's estate and used their washing water ration to cook it.

The night before D-Day they shaved mohawks and painted their faces like warriors.

Then they jumped into Normandy on one of the deadliest missions of the invasion.

This is the story of the Filthy Thirteen..🧵1/7

Evening of June 5, 1944 - 82 years ago tonight - paratroopers are given the order to load up for D-Day. They include Lancaster County men like Ray Wallace (pictured with me a few years ago in Columbia.)

Jumping from a plane in training is interesting enough, I can only imagine what they were feeling jumping into a hostile French countryside teeming with enemy. They landed scattered and off target and set of as individuals and small groups to find a fight.

Those men are legends. May we have half the courage they had and may we preserve the freedom the paid for so dearly. God bless them.

Only one month to go until July 4. 🇺🇸

From America’s Block Party to Giving 4th, this milestone is an invitation for every American to reflect on where we’ve been and take part in shaping what comes next.

The countdown to America’s 250th is officially on.

[Senator Eric Schmitt @SenEricSchmitt]

Success—It's been a long road, but the fight was worth it. The provision I authored to ensure ICE can arrest and deport criminal illegal aliens who are released from jails and prisons in jurisdictions that violate federal immigration law is in the reconciliation text.

In 2025, nearly 18,000 aliens were released from jails instead of transferred to ICE.

That is insane. They were already in jail. ICE had already identified them. Politicians let them walk back into American communities.

This is about commonsense immigration enforcement in America. Unlawful aliens. Already in custody. Released instead of transferred to ICE.

There is no serious defense for that.

June is 🐄 #NationalDairyMonth and in Lancaster County we are glad to see the rest of the world catching up to what we already knew – that we should eat real food, and kids should drink real milk! Updated U.S. dietary guidelines show real foods like protein/healthy fats/fruits/vegetables = good health. This is good for our Lancaster County farmers, good for our kids, good for our health! Real milk, real food, happy kids. o don’t walk, run, or drive your fastest pony cart to get some Lancaster County milk!

[Commissioner Josh Parsons @CommissionerJP]

June means summer in Lancaster County. Produce season.

We have the best soil, best farmers, and best food in the world.

Shop your local farm stand.

Help preserve what we have here. If we lose it, we can’t get it back.

June is🐄#NationalDairyMonth & Lancaster County is legend-dairy when it comes to milk!

We are one of the top dairy counties in the U.S. & the only one east of the Mississippi that makes the list (see little red dot on the map.)

Through our investments in farmland preservation (#1 County in America) we are making sure that Lancaster County continues to supply the nation with milk!

Join me in celebrating the hardworking dairy farmers of Lancaster County and the nutritious products they provide. There is no better place in the world to get milk and ice cream than in Lancaster County!

250 years of history in Lancaster County. 250 years of making things happen for America. #America250 #America250PA

Weekly reminder: Decline is a choice.

[Secretary Doug Burgum @SecretaryBurgum]

Decline is a choice. Decay is a choice. But thanks to @POTUS, America is choosing renewal over resignation, restoration over deterioration and beauty over blight.

Today, Columbus Circle once again reflects the pride, strength and promise of the United States of America.

We have a great team in County government, including here in the Commissioner’s Office. If you have any interactions with our office, you know our staff cares deeply about serving the citizens of Lancaster County. You may have also had interactions with Lydia, a long-time team member. She is a true professional, speaks multiple languages, keeps up on a million details, and makes things run smoothly behind the scenes in our office.

Recently, as part of a leadership development course, Lydia had the opportunity to visit the U.S. Capitol and the White House, including the West Wing where the oval office is, and the President works, and where very few visitors get to go. How cool is that!?

Lydia is a great representative of Lancaster County to visit Washington D.C. and interact with the federal officials and their staffs there. I appreciate her, and all our great team members here in the Commissioner’s office who work hard to serve Lancaster County!

[Commissioner Josh Parsons @CommissionerJP]

It’s #NationalBurgerDay and we celebrating! 🍔🍔🍔

What is more American 🇺🇸 than burgers! And what tastes better than local Lancaster County beef 🥩 burgers on the grill 🔥 in summer? Support your local farmers and enjoy some great burgers!

We are fortunate in Lancaster County to have access to high quality agricultural products of all kinds, and as the #1 county in the nation for farmland preservation we are working to keep it that way.

[Commissioner Josh Parsons @CommissionerJP]

This morning together, with members of the County Veterans Affairs Office, we presented a Memorial Day proclamation honoring those who have given their lives in defense of our nation. Lancaster County has a long history of military service going back to the Revolution, which we have been talking about throughout this #America250 year. We also have had many citizens of Lancaster County who have made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of freedom. We remember their names and we honor them on Memorial Day and every day.

[Commissioner Josh Parsons @CommissionerJP]

Interesting map. Lancaster County is the 6th most populous county out of the 67 in PA - behind Philadelphia, Allegheny, Montgomery, Bucks, and Delaware - but we are fourth in projected births this year.

[Commissioner Josh Parsons @CommissionerJP]

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.  John 15:13

Memorial Day is about those who served and never made it home. Those who carried the burden for our nation and paid with their lives. 

Teach your children about Memorial Day. 

Pray for the families of those who gave their lives. 

Never forget their names. 

Continue to protect our America. 

Serve others. 

Live in a way that honors their legacy. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
