Without a teleprompter Stelson is lost.

Justin Douglas here, candidate for PA-10. Healthcare shouldn’t depend on whether Congress renews a tax credit. No family should face a 170% premium hike just to see a doctor. Extend the ACA subsidies now—but let’s be honest, the real fix is Medicare for All.

Amid the shutdown data blackout, state unemployment insurance claims continue to shed light on the labor market On Friday, October 3, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) did not publish the September Employment Situation Summary report. The monthly “jobs report” provides policymakers, businesses, and the ...

I have been murdered at the polls.

It’s not to my knowledge a session day but I have seen four, FOUR, of the people I despise most in the Harrisburg political diaspora in the last couple of hours. It’s Goul Wednesday in the burg. If your heart burns with malice today was the day to schedule meetings.

Having worked in Harrisburg now some 22 years I can tell you this place has a certain rhythm to it that’s wild.

The U.S. approach to globalization has gone from bad to worse under Trump: How to construct a progressive policy agenda instead Globalization has created a challenging landscape for U.S. workers. Led by corporate interests, U.S. trade agreements from NAFTA onward have made matters worse rather than improving them. To counter t...

"Stable trade relations require a pro-worker agenda at home and overseas, which Trump is leading us away from," said EPI's @ahecon.bsky.social at a National Association of Business Economists panel this morning.

We all have enemies in Pennsylvania

California just banned employers from forcing workers to pay a debt, fee, or penalty to leave their job.

Bosses have increasingly been trapping workers with debts incurred in training and other exploitative fees.

Now that's illegal in the nation's biggest state.

Chicago and Salt Lake City are fighting. I’m here for it.
