This is the exact reason that House Democrats fought for a long-term, comprehensive funding plan for public transit across the commonwealth.

If funding transit in all 67 counties is not part of the conversation - we will be down this road again.

While I’m thankful that the NTSB identified the problem posing risks to public safety and SEPTA is acting quickly to inspect and remove affected railcars.

Report names PA’s most and least effective lawmakers – and how partisan divide impacts Harrisburg The Center for Effective Lawmaking found that Pennsylvania’s partisan divide is narrowing after years of gridlock

The numbers don’t lie: under Democratic leadership, Harrisburg is more effective and bipartisan than it’s been in years. 100+ bills became law last session—proof that when Dems lead, government actually works for the people.

“Two years ago today, Hamas carried out a horrific war crime, killing more than 1,100 Israelis and kidnapping 250 more. I mourn these lives and pray for the safe return of every hostage still held and for every family whose lives were torn apart by these atrocities. In the aftermath of that day, Prime Minister Netanyahu and the Israeli government launched a genocidal war: adeath toll that now far exceeds 67,000; with the Israeli military bombing homes, hospitals, and schools into rubble. Every day in Gaza has become a place where grief itself has run out of language. I mourn these lives and pray for the families that have been shattered. Our government has been complicit through it all. This must end. The occupation and apartheid must end. Peace must be pursued through diplomacy, not war crimes, and our government must act to end these atrocities and hold those responsible to account. These last two years have demonstrated the very worst of humanity. We must answer it by modeling the very best: a relentless pursuit of our higher ideals and an unwavering commitment to universal human rights.”

i had no idea this is how canada's supreme court dresses

really want to hear the PA GOP explain how this problem could be fixed with additional efficiency measures, futzing around with management, and austerity

Amazing. Truckers probably voted for the guy en masse and he's coming directly for their livelihoods.

I had some time to visit the Farmer's Market as well!

No we don't. We don't have to do that.

Also, he admits people will lose healthcare.

Will they get away with it? Hell no!

Because if SEPTA keeps putting their bus stop fonts on ozempic, I will simply start a charity organization whose mission is to buy stickers and put them on the bus stops to re-chonkify the font.

I predict we will be RAKING in the donations.

Your move, SEPTA.

This is a great example. You can pretty clearly see that the top one is the 26. But route 41 (formerly J) below is so hard to see, most people can't even see it from across the street. Yes, SEPTA is spending money specifically to force you to have to cross the street just to read your bus stop sign.

Now that SEPTA's execution has been Temporarily Suspended™, we need to talk about how SEPTA is intentionally restickering their bus stops to make the numbers visible from less than half the distance. While the current letters are visible from 200 ft, the tiny new ones you can't see past 80 ft.

#JCcrashes 😡😡😡 We're hearing a young girl was hit today while in the crosswalk at Jersey and 2nd St by a left-turning vehicle

Waited 20mins for a 9x that never showed, then sprinted to catch the 7, now it's running late too and I'm definitely going to have to lead my 5pm webinar from the bus without headphones. Happy Friday, #weekwithoutdriving!

The only thing Democrats are desperate for is for the American people to have Healthcare next month.

They’re Lying, Dividing, And Distracting. Don’t Believe The GOP’s Shutdown Hype “This isn’t about health care for undocumented immigrants—that’s already against the law," said Sen. Mark Warner. "It’s about the fact that Republicans are intentionally skyrocketing your premiums.”

I sometimes get annoyed at things being called distractions but this is genuinely a distraction. The party currently in control of _the entire federal gov’t_ is lying and blaming immigrant communities because they can't govern and their policies suck: americasvoicecnn.substack.com/p/theyre-lyi...

DOKOUPIL: Republicans says what you're really fighting for is taxpayer dollars for illegal aliens. I know that's not strictly true--

ELIZABETH WARREN: Excuse me, not strictly true? It is a flat out lie!

Sen. Sanders: Republicans, for the first time in modern history, have chosen not to negotiate. That is not acceptable. If we do not make changes, you're going to see 15 million Americans lose their health insurance. 50,000 Americans will die each year. That's what's at stake.

S.F. speed cameras are generating mountains of tickets and fines. Here are the totals so far August was the first month that San Francisco’s automated speed cameras generated citations with a fine. One camera accounted for a quarter of all the tickets, according to data.

The fact that SF cameras have already caught thousands of people going more than 15 miles over the speed limit is a perfect illustration of why these cameras were needed in the first place. www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/s...
