Today was beyond incredible. I am so honored and excited to being serving the people of @Pittsburgh alongside the most amazing man, mentor, and boss, Mayor Ed Gainey. Let’s go get it!

We will need that energy for 2028!
BREAKING: Trump's admin announced they plan to cut food assistance for 6.3 million more Americans.
Let's be clear: this is completely voluntary.
Americans spoke out against the cruelty of this admin and instead of listening, they doubled down on making life harder.
