Join me at the Blair Dems Banquet! Show your support with a contribution.

Our fall banquet is coming up and it's our Chair, @politicsmom.com's final banquet as Chair. Come join us and celebrate all the hard work our volunteers have put in this year so far!

A ‘brazen’ Jeffrey Yass-backed mailer suggests the Pa. Supreme Court created the congressional map it actually threw out “It’s probably the most shameless political ad I’ve ever seen,” said Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justice David Wecht in a rare interview.

It's a new low for PA billionaire Jeffrey Yass and his errand boys at the Commonwealth Foundation. They sent out a mailer that claims the current Supreme Court created the gerrymandered maps that they overturned. They're lying to overthrow our courts. #VoteYes www.inquirer.com/politics/ele...

Today we remember 9/11 a day of deep tragedy that still wounds us. Many people remember national unity on that day and following it, but it's also important to remember people were harassed and endangered because they "looked" Muslim. We have to look back and learn and be better.

We are thrilled to announce that by unanimous declaration, the @padems.org have elected Eugene DePasquale as Chair of the Pennsylvania State Democratic Committee!

All our thanks and appreciation to our outgoing State Party Chair, Senator Sharif Street. We wish him success in his run for Congress next year! @padems.org

U.S. economy adds only 22,000 jobs as labor market stalls It's the first jobs report since Trump fired the BLS commissioner and alleged the data was rigged against him.

The current administration's economic policies are working...to hurt the economy for everyone.

On Labor Day remember that organized labor is integral to the maintenance of our democracy. And let us never take for granted all the things that seem very normal to us today that were brought to us by the blood, sweat, and tears of organized labor.

Rural areas have seen cuts to transit services for years & now Republican legislators want EVEN MORE cuts. Sen. Judy Ward doesn’t seem to know that there are folks in OUR COMMUNITY depend on public transit. Call Sen. Ward & tell her to FUND TRANSIT TODAY.

Funny story, Democrats on the ground don't actually talk like that to the average voter. Is there like a fourth way where @thirdway.bsky.social just admits that free healthcare and education & forgiving student loans & rebuilding unions & clean water etc is all really popular and they focus on that?

You’re moved in. Your parents left. Before heading out to “study,” get yourself registered to vote in Pennsylvania’s next election at vote.pa/register. #Back2SchoolBack2Vote

Every part of Pennsylvania benefits from public transit. Help let our Senators and Representatives know that we're not buying the urban v. rural bullshit. We're all in this together. #TransitForAllPA

We're all getting screwed by our Republican led Senate. It's time for rural and urban folks to stand together and let them know we're not fighting each other, we're standing strong to fund ALL transit. #FundSEPTA #PassARealBudget

Who are we voting for in this year's statewide judicial elections? It's gotta be Judge Brandon Neuman and Judge Stella Tsai! #2025JudicialElectionsPA

This was an absolutely horrific incident and thus far the city's response has been deeply inadequate. We're thankful for all the community members stepping up to make sure our leaders know that this is unacceptable.

On this 4th of July, let's remember that the in United States of America, we should always be striving for a more perfect union.

If you haven't gotten around to calling Rep. John Joyce yet, now the call is to tell him that he voted to take healthcare and food from constituents who need help. These Medicaid cuts will have dire consequences for rural hospitals who rely on Medicaid funds. #BigBullshitBill

Sen Kim Ward, Sen Joe Pittman, and Rep Jesse Topper super-imposed on a picture of kids playing Monopoly. Wording: "Republicans are Playing games with Our Future" "Call Sen. Kim Ward (717-787-6063) and Sen Joe Pittman (717-787-8724) and tell them to PASS GOV. SHAPIRO'S BUDGET"

It's time to pass a budget that gives Pennsyvanians what we need to thrive, not one that barely lets us survive. Call Sen. Pittman and tell him to stop playing games! #PABudget

Victory for Working People as Judge Blocks Trump’s Efforts to Bust Federal Employee Unions Trump’s union-busting executive order was retaliation against labor unions for challenging administration’s illegal workplace actions, judge finds

BREAKING: In a major win for all working people, a federal judge has ordered that the administration cannot revoke federal workers' collective bargaining rights.

Charlie Kirk Tweet: The lesson from New York City is that BOTH illegal and legal immigration ran ruin your country. It's not just the open border, it's also our suicidal mass LEGAL migration policies bringing in over 1 million people a year; green cards, chain migration, refugee resettlement, anchor babies, and asylum scams. This all needs to be ended

Congrats to Charlie Kirk on working up the courage to straight up be like 'omg, there are straight up too many brown people I don't care if they're legal or not I don't want to have to put up with them having opinions'
