We are fighting to protect our democracy, by being part of the Pennsylvania Democratic Party. We are looking to engage GenZ, Millennials, and other Young Dems and Progressives to become more active in rural Pennsylvania.

The law requires Trump to continue to fund SNAP.

Instead, he's trying to steal food from the mouths of hungry children.

What now?

Hope that a few Republicans look in their closets to find their backbones.

Democrats. This is who we worked for and elected. I certainly think we can do better in 2028.

Don’t you?

An analysis from Circana found that SNAP benefits account for 47.8% of all spending at dollar stores as a channel.

In rural markets, dollar stores are THE store as there is no other stores left besides a Walmart.

Losing 50% of your sales is obviously unsustainable.

The NO KINGS rally in Pottsville today at Garfield Square. We had over 100 people protesting how the Republicans are destroying our country. Yes Trump is President, but it’s the Republican Party that is supporting him 100%.

And Trump and the Republicans cut SNAP benefits starting November. Too expensive.

But two private jets for ICE Barbie? No problem.

Jon Favreau on Twitter: β€œA top Republican in Congress just called millions of Americans terrorists.

The last No Kings protests saw 4-6 million people turn out. They were peaceful. They were joyful. There were American flags everywhere.

Those of us who will be participating next weekend in what Emmer calls a "hate rally" for "terrorists" love our country - particularly its promise that we're all created equal, that we all have the right to speak freely, to enjoy equal protection under the law, to believe what we want, and to choose our leaders without fear of reprisal.

The No Kings protests are happening because Emmer and Trump and his regime are trampling on those rights and freedoms.”

I really wonder who we elected.

Only one Democratic Senator voted against legislation that would put a check on Trumps ability to indiscriminately kill people he deems are drug members with no proof.

Sen John @fetterman.senate.gov continues to vote with Trump and against his party.

So @fetterman.senate.gov , nice way to support your party. Um, you’re still a Democrat correct?

Don’t worry, your fellow Pennsylvanians that can’t afford their health care after the bill Republicans pushed through will appreciate you helping them.
