A recent Pew poll found that 61% of Americans support unmasking ICE agents in order to curb abuses of power and prevent them from acting like a secret, paramilitary police force. However, that didn’t stop US Sen. John Fetterman from bucking the approach taken by most Democrats and defending ICE agents covering their faces while on Fox News on Sunday. Fetterman argued that ICE agents fear having their identities exposed and being doxed. “The ICE agents wearing masks, I think primarily, that’s driven by people who are going to dox those people. That’s a serious concern too,” Fetterman said.

Pa. GOP lawmaker says “good riddance” to slavery signage at Independence Mall At President Donald Trump’s instruction, the National Park Service removed panels offering slavery history on Independence Mall.

PA State Rep. Valerie Gaydos seems to think we're not strong enough as a nation to face our failures and learn from them. Apparently, Americans need to be coddled and only presented with positivity. That's just not how the world works, Representative.

Yeah, I mean there was a person in a punisher giants hoodie taking photos with Shapiro.

It's crazy seeing how popular he is with regular people.

I asked them who they voted for and they said Trump. They also told Shapiro in the video that they're all conservative.

Watched a group of conservative Trump voters beg Gov Josh Shapiro for photos at the Pa Farm Show.

You can see how this made their day and probably their week. One of the women told me that she wants Shapiro to run for president in 2028.

A USPS mailbox in New York City

USPS quietly changed its postmark rules — mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The “official” date is when it hits automated sorting — sometimes days later

Which could have major implications for mail in voting — it’s a clever way to disenfranchise voters that’s going largely overlooked
