I hope Pope Leo continues to speak against starvation and barbarity in Gaza and U.S. bishops continue to defend those targeted for arrest and internment here. The Church has a unique, non-ideological voice on behalf of the dispossessed and displaced, like Jesus himself was.

The Marines are not props to be used for political theater and a real leader would not even consider sending them to an American city in this situation.

The MAGA campaign to capture our courts is here so let’s go: A vote to retain the 3 justices of PA’s Supreme Court means free and fair elections in 26 and 28, and no gerrymandering. It means women keep the right to choose. It means freedom of speech and religion. Pass it on.

Congress set aside $6 billion they could be using right now to keep funding SNAP. Plus $23 billion more in a separate fund. Excellent legal brief by @governor.pa.gov and other states, which they never should have had to even file.

I’m a Democrat, and I love the military and its core values. I used to prosecute people whose lack of integrity made them unfit for our ranks. Time to drum Scott out of Congress and send his Democratic opponent Janelle Stelson instead.

Love to see it. Proud of you Pittsburgh

Last night Fetterman voted to allow Trump to execute people at sea, today he wants to give him a Nobel Prize. Just no core principles.

With this Nat’l Guard deployment Trump is openly defying a judge HE HIMSELF appointed, who worked for Ken Starr against Clinton, and was made US Attorney by Bush. That’s where we are. He has no respect for the Constitution or the judges who put country over party to follow it.

Last night in Westmoreland, we talked about the patriotism of refusing to be divided and conquered, of staying on the same side of the street as the Good Samaritan, of lighting a candle rather than cursing the darkness.

Maybe in Hegseth’s next TED talk about higher standards he can address the lowering of our standard against murder. No matter how fit or clean shaven we can’t have a force killing people we aren’t at war with. Absolutely awful for military culture in addition to being wrong and illegal.

This is a sad and dangerous moment. Whatever you think about Comey, what is new and totally wrong is the White House directing criminal prosecutions. A few short years ago most Republicans would agree that was unacceptable, because it is. Now they’re too scared.

In a nutshell: Trump promised to lower costs on day 1, but health insurance costs are going up 82% in Pennsylvania. We’re calling him on it so he wants to shut down the government.

I asked Lynn, a home care worker whose own healthcare price will skyrocket next year because of Trump, what she would say to Senator Schumer about the importance of stopping this from happening. I thought she gave a great answer.
