Four more noncitizens now face federal election charges in Pennsylvania. One of them allegedly submitted eight fraudulent voter registration applications. Another allegedly voted in Chester County in both 2022 and 2024. As I've said before, every illegal ballot dilutes the vote of a Pennsylvanian who followed the law. Republicans and Democrats should be able to agree on that. Thank you, @USAttyMetcalf, for making it clear that illegal voting in the Commonwealth will be prosecuted. Prosecuting it after the fact matters. Stopping it before a ballot is ever cast matters more. That's what the SAVE America Act does, by requiring proof of citizenship to register and photo ID to vote. The Senate should pass it.
It is double the offense to our country when aliens first enter our nation illegally, and then violate our sovereignty again by voting in our elections. The Department of Justice will not let that happen anymore: Today we announce the latest series of noncitizen voter fraud charges against four individuals: Cliff Sanon, Dilea Ochoa-Perez, Sade Guppy, and Eduardo Gallardo Maldonado. These charges are just allegations, and every defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. However, this is another meaningful step forward to restoring the integrity of our elections. "We the People" means American citizens, and only American citizens, decide who gets to govern us. justice.gov/usao-edpa/pr/fou…

Dina and I are heartbroken by the passing of James Copenhaver. Jim fought for two years after that horrific day in Butler. He endured multiple surgeries, lived with permanent injuries, and carried bullet fragments in his body until the very end. No American should have to suffer like this simply for attending a political rally. Our hearts are with his family as they grieve, just as Corey Comperatore’s family continues to live with the unimaginable loss of that day. The hatred that fueled the violence in Butler has left families forever changed. Political differences can never justify bloodshed. We must reject political violence wherever it takes root. Pennsylvania will never forget Jim or Corey Comperatore. May God bless his family and may he rest in peace. foxnews.com/politics/james-c…

Washington spends $7 trillion a year, yet less than 1% goes to @NIH research. That sliver delivers outsized returns. On the Senate Floor, I called for doubling NIH’s budget in five years while putting merit and taxpayer accountability at the center of medical research funding.

Why invest more in medical research when our national debt is so high? Fair question. My answer: basic medical research is a public good that private capital rarely funds. It saves lives and lowers the cost of disease. Done right, @NIH funding can more than pay for itself.

Baby KJ was born with a rare, often fatal genetic disorder. Today, he's doing great after @NIH-funded researchers saved him with the world's first personalized gene-editing therapy. We can't surrender our lead on this science to China. Keeping our edge takes NIH funding and reform.

Baby KJ was born with a rare, often fatal disorder. Today he’s walking and talking thanks to NIH-funded research at CHOP and Penn. @NIH gets less than 1% of federal spending. My proposal: double its budget while cutting bureaucracy and prioritizing merit. My op-ed: washingtonpost.com/opinions/…

Westmoreland County hasn’t had a commercial flight since May. Great news. @SenFettermanPa, @GReschenthaler, and I worked together to secure $850,000 in federal funding to help attract a new carrier to Arnold Palmer Regional Airport. Nobody in Latrobe should have to drive to Pittsburgh just to fly to Myrtle Beach. triblive.com/local/westmorel…

I wrote this in April, and the stakes haven’t changed: America needs permitting reform. We have the resources and investment. What we need is the ability to build. The Senate has an opportunity to advance permitting reform this Congress. Let’s take it. nypost.com/2026/04/29/opinio…

Anyone else concerned that a prominent Abdul El-Sayed ally thinks the Middle East would be more stable if Iran had a NUCLEAR WEAPON? 🙋🏻‍♂️
🇮🇷 @hasanthehun to @alexthomp on the next episode of The Axios Show: "I think that the Middle East would be more stable" if Iran had a nuclear weapon.

There have been a lot of stories of late about @SeanParnellUSA being considered to be our next Secretary of the Army. I hope it’s true. Sean is a good friend, a decorated combat veteran, a true patriot, and a fellow Pennsylvanian. As I said when he joined the Trump administration, Dina and I are very proud of him and Melanie and their great family. I have full confidence that if Sean is given the honor of serving in this role, he will do so with courage and distinction.

It all started in Philadelphia. 239 years ago today, our Founders signed the Constitution, creating a new framework for the American experiment—built on liberty, limited government, and the power of “We the People.” inquirer.com/arts/constituti…

Twenty-five years ago, 40 ordinary Americans aboard Flight 93 faced an unimaginable test and chose courage. They stood together, fought back, and put country before self. Their example embodies the patriotism that defines America at its best. My latest @FoxNews op-ed ⬇️ foxnews.com/opinion/sen-mcco…

The choice this November is clear. We can dream heroic dreams and build a better future, or we can surrender to socialism. I refuse to surrender.

Washington loves telling us how divided we are. I learned otherwise in the 82nd Airborne, where a farm boy from Kansas and a college dropout from Boston trusted each other with their lives. We all loved the same country. I still believe in that America.
