In protesting peacefully we reclaim our cities and communities from state brutality. These are our spaces, our homes.

Murphy: "If we want to win the argument nationally on the economy, then we've got to break our addiction to incremental economic change. And we've got to talk about big, bold ideas that reorder power in this country."

One of my proudest moments as your Governor was delivering universal free breakfast for 1.7 million students across our Commonwealth.

Every student deserves to start off their day of learning with a full belly – and we’re making it happen here in Pennsylvania.

Not that anybody comes to me for Maine politics, but the fact that the Democrats successfully convinced a 77yo Governor to primary the 41yo progressive, is today's example of why the Democrats fucking stay failing.

Susan Collins is 72 and if Schumer gets his way, she'll be the YOUNGER choice!

For the first time, The Frick opens top two floors of Clayton mansion A preview of The Frick Pittsburgh's first-ever tours of the mysterious upper two floors at Henry Clay Frick's mansion Clayton.

Generations of visitors have toured Clayton, Henry Clay Frick’s 19th-century Point Breeze mansion and the last vestige of Pittsburgh’s Millionaires’ Row. But none of them, to date, has seen beyond the mansion’s lushly appointed, museum-quality first and second floors.

This is no joke. Folks in Allegheny and Beaver Counties who use the ACA marketplace (Pennie) will see health insurance premiums skyrocket unless Congressional Republicans work with Democrats to stop this disaster.

Target Faces Boycott: 200 Days Without DEI, Financial Impact Grows Target's DEI rollback triggered a 200-plus day boycott, $20B market value loss, a massive decline in foot traffic, and a CEO's departure.

For the β€˜boycotts don’t work’ crowd…

β€œTarget Corp.'s (TGT) stock has plummeted 33% since the rollback of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, wiping out over $20 billion in shareholder value by mid-September 2025.”

My friend and colleague Wesley Morris and I had a very sobering conversation about America since the 1619 Project published and how it feels to be falling back under the veil that W.E.B. Du Bois so mournfully wrote about. I hope you’ll listen to this episode of Cannonball @nytimes.com

I was just denied access to the Moshannon Valley Detention Center with a weak letter from ICE full of lies. There are human beings being held in horrific conditions in this facility.

We will keep showing up to do our jobs no matter how hard ICE or the Trump admin tries to hide.

Pritzker: Trump looked at the cameras and asked for me personally to say, Mr. President, can you do us the honor of protecting our city? Instead, I say, Mr. President, do not come to Chicago.

Your remarks about this effort have betrayed a continuing slip in your mental faculties
