Remind me again how local leaders should just "stick to potholes" and keep quiet about international policy?

Shame on the Post-Gazette for exploiting the tragedy in Kerr County to score political points. It’s time for Pittsburgh Water to keep its promise to The Run and ensure that flooding in our neighborhood is fixed once and for all.

Thank you, Pittsburgh City Councilwoman Barb Warwick, for introducing legislation that would expand protections for the TLGBQIA+ community and move the city of Pittsburgh a step closer to decriminalizing sex work.

Stellar response from City Council Prez Lavelle to the PPG's call to cut critical violence prevention funds. Gun violence is a scourge on Pgh and this $ has been instrumental in reducing it. TY, Councilman for speaking out...so disappointing that you had to.

They always close ranks at the end of the day.

❤️💚🖤 Gorgeous morning for the Pittsburgh Juneteenth Parade! ❤️💚🖤

Glad to stand with SEIU Healthcare and my colleagues across state, local, and fed govt to demand that UPMC stop the unlawful delays and agree to a free and fair union election for the nurses at Magee-Womens Hospital.

Proud to stand with Casa San José, SEIU, USW, Unite Here, Starbucks Workers United and unions around the US to demand the release of SEIU CA prez David Huerta. Make no mistake: ICE is not about safety, it's about terrorizing immigrants. Very glad to see so many Pghers come out to say not our city.

Pittsburgh aims to fix more battered sidewalks Pittsburgh is expanding a program to repair busted-up sidewalks, footing part of the bill for low-income property owners.

In Pittsburgh, property owners are responsible for their sidewalk, which is tough for lower-income home owners.This is an innovative solution to helping fix critical sidewalk gaps. Glad to see Hazelwood up next. Thank you Pgh DOMI for seeing this important work through.

Billionaires don’t have a constitutional right to own your government.

Today @khanna.house.gov and I unveiled the Abolish Super PACs Act to get money out of politics and restore democracy for, of, and by the people.

We must make it harder for billionaires + corporate interests to buy our politics.

Happy Pride!

Please join us tomorrow, May 29 at Margaux to support Western PA Fund for Choice.

Nurses at UPMC Magee-Womens Hospital announce intent to unionize Staff at one of Pittsburgh's largest labor and delivery hospitals are unionizing. About 1,000 registered nurses and advanced practice professionals have filed notice with the National Labor Relations ...

The nurses at UPMC Magee provide essential care for our region's moms, babies and others. As a union, they will have a seat at the table, helping ensure care decisions are based on patient health, not hospital profits.

What's good for nurses is good for Pgh and SW PA.

Love it when they say out loud what you knew all along. Hand over your park for our private shuttle road or forget about getting your flooding fixed.

Pittsburgh City Council member calls for restoration of stormwater project amid recent storms Barb Warwick said that Pittsburgh Water has promised some sort of version of the project for nearly 10 years, with no progress.

Thank you to the residents who came out to demand that Pittsburgh Water (PWSA) reinstate funding for the Four Mile Run Stormwater project. After nearly 10 yrs and $8.7M spent on designs, it's time to deliver a solution to this devastating flooding once and for all.

Thank you, @gaineyformayor.com. What an honor to fight beside you for a kinder, more equitable city. It wasn't our night. But today we get up and keep doing the work to protect and uplift our most vulnerable residents and build a Pittsburgh for all.

We don’t need a mayor who feels entitled to the job. We need a mayor who has earned it. That Mayor is Ed Gainey.

💐Look! It's Mother's Day deja vu! Here's to all the families out there letting Mom do her thing...we love you so much! And don't forget to vote for @gaineyformayor.com on May 20! 💐

O’Connor citing an NTSB report on the collapse of Fern Hollow bridge as proof that Mayor Gainey is letting our “bridges crumble” is one of the most ridiculous things I’ve seen come out from his campaign. Let’s be clear here - the collapse was the result of a failure of the Peduto admin who ignored
