May is #NationalCleanAirMonth. Pittsburgh has the 8th worst air quality in the nation. Residents of this district have been wearing respiratory masks long before COVID19. I’m proud to support a plan that will drastically reduce air pollution in our region. #GreenNewDeal

Today, I proudly announce my candidacy for the Democratic nomination in the 18th Congressional District in Western Pennsylvania in 2020. The people deserve a new voice and a true people’s champion. Join us and donate at https://t.co/nRDbDjo96n. #avoiceforchange #thepeoplefirst

The SCOTUS majority got this one wrong on the border wall funding. Justice Breyer's opinion was the correct one: SCOTUS should have permitted the government to finalize contracts for the project but not begin construction of border wall. https://t.co/rRmT8ySris

It is time for Congress to fulfill its constitutional duty to bring charges of the commission of multiple impeachable offenses by President Trump.

to breakdown and explain the impeachment process and where we're headed as a country in this historic moment. I've voiced my support for impeachment proceedings on the campaign trail. Here, I'll give context to how this process will unfold so that voters have a firm grasp...

of the process. Impeachment means "accusation." The House, under the Constitution, brings "charges" of the President committing multiple impeachable offenses, and the House may impeach by simple majority vote of the members present...

So I was supposed to teach my constitutional law students the mechanics and history of presidential impeachment at the end of October-early November. Uh, well, that lecture is now next Tuesday morning, pronto!

@Tereneh152XX @LoriDOCPitt No, thank you! Such a pleasure to share the stage with you and the rest of the panelists! @Tereneh152XX

Enjoyed attending the CADBI-West meeting this evening. It is so heartening to see such passionate grassroots advocacy for criminal justice reform in Pittsburgh. Criminal justice is near and dear to my heart! I'm looking forward to fighting for prison reform in Congress. #PA18

Sometimes you stand up by sitting down. 60 years ago today, four young black men were refused service at a whites-only restaurant but they didn't give up or give in. Their bravery led to a wave of sit-in actions and change across the country. #BlackHistoryMonth #GreensboroFour

Proud of the Allegheny County Council for banning conversion therapy. Such practices are abhorrent and must be rejected at all levels of government. In Congress, I'll support legislation to ban conversion therapy and continue to work to expand protections for all LGBTQ+ people.

#COVID19 isn't creating a health crisis, it's exposing the one that already exists. That's why we need #PaidSickLeave, livable minimum wages, and a pathway to a robust national healthcare system like #M4A. We need to act boldly and we need to act now.

Today, my campaign is proud to announce that we have accepted an invitation from the @PittsburghNAACP to participate in a debate with @USRepMikeDoyle in April. I look forward to a constructive discussion about the region’s pervasive racial disparities and economic inequities.
