Ryan's Law passed the PA House 174-27 on Monday. Tell the Senate to choose compassion and take up HB2254 ASAP!

[State Rep. Dan Frankel @RepDanFrankel]

This month, we remember the countless lives that have been lost due to gun violence. I will continue to advocate for reasonable firearm regulations to protect our communities in Pittsburgh and across the state.

[State Rep. Dan Frankel @RepDanFrankel]

PASSED 174-27: my bill to allow terminally ill patients to access medical cannabis while receiving care in hospitals. “Ryan’s Law” gives some very sick people the chance to spend their final days conscious, comfortable & connected to the people they love.

During Pride Month, we continue to celebrate and uplift the LGBTQ+ community. Let’s keep fighting for a world where no one needs to hide who they are.

Americans deserve public health policy shaped by doctors and scientists — not billion-dollar tobacco companies with a reservation at the president’s golf club.

[Kenneth P. Vogel @kenvogel]

NEW: The tobacco company Reynolds American donated $5M to the Trump-backed super PAC MAGA Inc. on 4/30/2026.

8 days later, the Trump administration rolled out a new policy that could be lucrative for Reynolds by allowing it to begin selling flavored vapes https://t.co/tAivofBoaG

Another act of violence has shattered a sacred space. My heart is with the victims, their families, and the entire Muslim community.

[The New York Times @nytimes]

But allowing casual antisemitism to go unchallenged legitimizes it, feeds it and sets the stage for violence. So, whether it’s a dog whistle, an overt slur, or an outright threat, we continue to speak out.

[State Rep. Dan Frankel @RepDanFrankel]

I released the following statement with
@SenJudySchwank, as cochairs of the PA Legislative Jewish Caucus, in reference to the materials arriving in folks' mailboxes in the Lehigh Valley

[State Rep. Dan Frankel @RepDanFrankel]

Leading PA's legislative Jewish Caucus has become a veritable game of whack-a-mole, calling out actions across the ideological spectrum that make our communities less safe, all while we fend off a daily onslaught of hatred and periodic threats directed at us, personally.

[State Rep. Dan Frankel @RepDanFrankel]

Yep, most Americans agree that it’s long past time to have a conversation about reasonable firearm restrictions.

[NRA @NRA]

A Democrat lawmaker in Pennsylvania, @RepDanFrankel, is spearheading an anti-gun initiative that could eliminate the existing firearms preemption law.

This would allow local governments to enact their own restrictions on how to carry, transport, purchase or possess firearms.

[State Rep. Dan Frankel @RepDanFrankel]

If your movement can only survive by suppressing evidence, intimidating scientists and hiding peer-reviewed research, you’re probably not defending freedom; more likely, you’re building an authoritarian government.

[Good Morning America @GMA]

The FDA withdrew the publication of studies that tracked the safety of the COVID-19 and shingles vaccines. @eschulze has more.
