Anyone who has ever dealt with a bully knows that they don’t respond to β€œgoing high”. You have to stand up and fight and sometimes that requires the low road. Ahem, Democrats… is this mic on? Time to get in the ring and fight dirty.

If, for example, Trump says nobody is allowed to dance, on penalty of death, he has no legal power to make that declaration and no power to enforce it, but if everyone stops dancing it's as good as if he did. Reporting as though Trump has these powers helps give him those powers.

Pennsylvania governor says he wants to recruit laid-off federal workers to fill state job openings Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro says he wants to recruit federal workers for job openings in the state’s workforce.

Yes! Move to Philly! It’s a great city that is more affordable but has the same amenities as D.C.

Help turn Pennsylvania blue!

I want the t-shirts, the posters, the sepia prints, the velvet portrait, the trapper keepers, the lunch boxes, the I-phone covers.

It is deeply disturbing that some Americans are expressing joy over their fellow Americans losing their jobs.

These are our neighbors.

Federal workers don’t deserve the pain of layoffs and they certainly don’t deserve being vilified by a political party on a power trip.
