For a guy who talks big game about American steel, youโd think Donald Trump would actually put U.S. steelworkers first.
Instead, heโs turning his back on them and using foreign steel to build his new ballroom.

Gas-powered data centers are a losing bet - and our communities will pay the price. Join our Rally for Residents to show leadership that we want renewables, not gas that will frack our communities for generations to come. @ProtectPT

4th air quality permit request since 2015. A $10M fine on record. No real-time emissions alerts. When the meeting ended, Shell walked out the door - no press, no community, no comments.
Beaver County deserves better. April 7 public hearing - be there.
Thank you to @RichPierceWPXI for coming to listen to these residents' concerns.

Trump raises dirty corporate money while the Mideast burns. This is beyond disgusting: โTrump capped an extraordinary day of U.S. aggression abroad by attending a glitzy fund-raising dinner at his club.โ #Iran nytimes.com/2026/02/28/us/poโฆ

30% of teens use an AI chatbot every day โ but theyโre entirely unregulated, with no protections in place to keep kids safe.
We need to hold these companies accountable when they threaten the safety of our youngest and most impressionable Pennsylvanians.
Iโve directed my Administration to explore all legal options to do just that โ stay tuned.
