Why We Need a $15 Per Hour Minimum Wage with SNAP's New Work Requirements But Pennsylvania lawmakers have a big opportunity.

Work should be the path out of poverty, but low wages turn it into a dead end. Pennsylvania lawmakers must raise the minimum wage so new rules for accessing food assistance (SNAP) lift families up instead of leaving them behind.

"The Smithsonian shouldn't have any displays about things I don't care about" is some ASTONISHING levels of narcissism.

Slavery happened. It was unfathomably horrible. And those who don't allow history to be taught intend to repeat it.

The last US Civil War was between people who believed some people were not human, and could therefore be treated inhumanely, and those that believe all are created equal.

This US Cold Civil War we are in now, is the similar.

It's about inhumanity vs humanity.

See how the SEPTA cuts will impact you Look up your address to out how upcoming service cuts across Philadelphia's transit network will impact routes in your neighborhood.

Wonder how SEPTA cuts could affect you? @inquirer.com has set up a site where you can find out. Of course it would also be great for ALL PENNSYLVANIANS if PA Senate Republicans would just fund transit. 👀

Wow — New Gallup poll:

— Trump approval on immigration: 35-62 (!)

— Record high approval of immigration (79-17 overall)

— 78% of people support a pathway to citizenship (+8 from 2024); only 38% support mass deportation (-9 from 2024)

— 30% want a decrease in immigration (-25 from 2024)

There is lots of chatter that Jeffries intends to break the record (held by McCarthy) for longest House speech. This means he'd go over 8.5 hours. If that's the case, the minimum end time would be 1:25pm ET -- that 2.5 more hours for us to be loud.

If you're taking direct action, pls share

TRUMP'S BIG UGLY BILL: 
• Forces nearly a trillion dollars in cuts to Medicaid, the largest cut to the life-saving program ever by a factor of FOUR 
• Gives ICE a larger budget than many militaries around the world 
• Eliminates funding for green energy 
• Strips healthcare away from 5% of Americans 
• Kicks 11.8 million people off SNAP benefits
• Represents the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in US history

House Minority Leader Jeffries has been speaking for nearly five hours, which buys us more time to put some last-minute pressure on Republicans.
