PA budget impasse hits 100 days as Democrats pass $50.3B plan PA Senate Majority Leader Joe Pittman said Wednesdayโ€™s actions took negotiations over the late budget โ€œsteps backward.โ€

Reminder: The Republ-I-Can't-s aren't interested in governing, just throwing temper tantrums and letting the world burn.

No, Trump Isn't Cracking Down on Crime. Plus, How Ukrainians Tell Their Story of the War. | On the Media | WNYC Studios President Trump is preparing to send the National Guard to cities across the country. On this weekโ€™s On the Media, what the press is missing about the presidentโ€™s so-called โ€œcrackdown...

Excellent segment on how the media is manufacturing consent by repeating the lie that the military deployment in our cities is about "reducing crime" (and why it's actually about expanding executive power).

Live Updates: Trump Orders National Guard to Washington, D.C., and Takeover of Cityโ€™s Police

This is a lie. Violent crime in DC is at *a 30 year low*. DC remains a clean, safe, and vibrant city. Apparently the national guard is being deployed to "round up" unhoused people, and you can guess how that is going to end. This is why STATEHOOD for the people of DC is *essential.* #dc51 #nokings

EPA opens public comments on plan to hike gas prices by 76c/gal, kill thousands The EPA rollback will cost $1 trillion total and kill thousands per year, but is being sought due to oil industry bribes. You can comment now.

Public comments are open. Please do the thing.

Is Medicaid rife with fraudsters? One man explains why he breaks a rule Congressional Republicans successfully pushed to add hurdles to qualify for Medicaid by saying they would eliminate fraud. A Montana man says he's breaking the rules to keep his insurance and his job.

This is why work requirements are ineffectual. Conservatives know this; these changes are actually about wealth transfer and punishing poor people.

Let's circle back on that. I think we can leverage data-informed synergies to quantify the most impactful way to move forward.

Philadelphia Public Workers Reach Deal to End Strike

So the strike was ended by the city offering an additional 0.25% raise for 1 year? That's literally $106 dollars for sanitation workers making the average wage of $42.5k, and that's still not a living wage....

Trash and tensions grow as talks between DC 33 and the city are expected to resume Tuesday City officials warned against illegal dumping that could slow collection efforts at temporary trash drop-off sites.

Does Chevelle Parker really think that a 2.75% raise is an attractive offer? ๐Ÿค”

Yes, and I'm slightly terrified in anticipation of the fear-mongering the national GOP is going to do with this result. But it is nice to see some energy coalescing around the progressive vanguard.

Spent the morning doing roadside litter cleanup at Crebilly Farm, recently preserved as open space by the township. SO MANY beer cans, liquor minis, etc. It's terrifying that some of our neighbors are drinking and driving and INFURIATING that people think littering is okay in 2025. ๐Ÿคฌ
