Instead of making healthcare more affordable for Americans, Trump and GOP Congressmembers are prioritizing sending $20 billion to support Argentina.

I guess this is MAGA...
Make Argentina Great Again.

Thanks. Have had some things to deal with the last handful of months with family, but getting back into things gradually. Doing my little part this election to get the word out about Voting YES on Judges in my little corner of PA! Hope you are well also!

To protect fair maps, women's reproductive rights, and to fight for fair funding of public schools, VOTE YES on ALL Judge retentions in Pennsylvania this fall election. @padems.org

It's not just prominent public figures like MN legislator Melissa Hortman & Charlie Kirk who are victims of political violence, but everyday folks are too: the 11 Jews murdered at a Pittsburgh synagogue, the 23 Latinos murdered at an El Paso WalMart, etc.

Everyone's put at risk.

Is the US becoming more and more like China with each passing day?

Another case in point: the nationalization of private business like Intel using public taxpayer dollars (can we say socialism?)

The devastation being done to Americans' retirement accounts, the US economy, and American jobs is heart-breaking. Trump, Musk, & the GOP own all of this.

Thank you to Gov Shapiro for standing up for freedom & lower-case "d" democratic values - core tenets of what the US has embraced throughout its history.

Thank you for standing with the people of Ukraine & with Ukrainian-Americans, whose lives have been destroyed by Vladimir Putin.

Governor Shapiro gets $hit done for Pennsylvanians even as Donald Trump and GOP PA Attorney General Dave Sunday try hard - in violation of the law, no less - to hurt Pennsylvanians.

GOP congressman faces criticism and several boos at Georgia town hall | CNN Politics A Republican congressman from Georgia faced some tough criticism and occasional boos from constituents Thursday night as he fielded questions about the Trump administration’s early actions.

Some in the GOP aren't happy.

CNN:
McCormick (Georgia's 7th Congressional District), was asked about the firings of hundreds of workers at the Atlanta-based CDC: β€œWhy is a supposedly conservative party taking such a radical and extremist and sloppy approach to this?”

Pennsylvania House Rep. Matt Gergely has passed away Pennsylvania's political leaders, both Democrat and Republican, released statements of condolences Sunday night.

Some truly sad news this evening, with the passing of PA State Rep. Matt Gergely. Will be thinking of his family. May Rep. Gergely rest in peace.

The retention votes for the PA Supreme Court, PA Superior Court, and PA Commonwealth Court are in the general election: Nov 4th.

But don't forget to vote in the primary election too (May 20th). We have important local judicial and municipal elections then, including here in Allegheny County.
