Today I was arrested for protesting @Aramark for devaluing @UNITEHEREPhilly workers. I refuse to let workers in my district be mistreated by a wealthy corporation that gets richer every year by exploiting their labor. I’m with them till they get the wages & benefits they deserve.
Billions in funding for our kids and tax cuts for homeowners who’ve been carrying too much of the burden for too long. Today we made a difference for a brighter tomorrow for *every* student!

This legislation is another step in the right direction to addressing the issue of adequacy with regard to how we fund the educational system.
I’m grateful that this committee has the ability to move this process a step further.

I’m proud to join @MakeTheRoadPA to share an important message: it’s time for us by pay back our debt to our public schools! We have a responsibility as legislators to make sure ALL of our #YoungestConstituents have what they need to learn and succeed regardless of zip code!
So proud to join more than 200 parents, school staff & students with @MaketheRoadPA to #FundPAPublicSchools!
Right now, our schools are failing to keep kids safe and healthy. But we can change that by passing full education funding in this year’s budget and for years to come. 📚
It's the 3rd night of the Penn encampment. Last night, the university ordered protesters to disband but they remain on site. It's unclear what the university will do next. For now, the night remains pretty quiet with little police. A group of counter protesters left after 2 hrs
Parents like Maria know their kids and our schools best. Billionaires with a financial stake in destroying public schools shouldn’t be driving public policy. #AllEyesOnYass#FundPAPublicSchools

BREAKING: Donald Trump's fortune is destroyed as Judge Arthur Engoron slams him with a $355 million fine in the New York civil fraud case — spelling doom for his embattled finances.
And that's not even the worst part for Trump...
In addition to the historically massive fine, Trump will be banned from borrowing money from any bank in New York for three years. This will make it difficult for him to raise money to appeal the judgement, which in turn might force him to sell off one of his beloved buildings or golf courses.
He will also be banned for three years from serving in any top roles at any New York companies, including his own.
The New York Times reports that an independent monitor will serve as "court's eyes and ears at the Trump Organization" and watch out for fraud or other suspicious behavior.
As The Daily Beast reports, the 9% interest rate on the judgement could ultimately push the total fines "well past $400 million" which would be the worst financial crisis Trump has ever faced.
The timing could not be any worse for Trump, who is currently fighting off numerous indictments that could land him behind bars. It's unclear how he will manage to pay his mounting legal fees.
Judge Engoron also banned Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump from serving as officers or directors of any New York corporation or legal entity for two years. They have been fined $4 million a piece.
This is a massive victory for New York Attorney Letitia James and the American people.
