It's a new low for PA billionaire Jeffrey Yass and his errand boys at the Commonwealth Foundation. They sent out a mailer that claims the current Supreme Court created the gerrymandered maps that they overturned. They're lying to overthrow our courts.

A âbrazenâ Jeffrey Yass-backed mailer suggests the Pa. Supreme Court created the congressional map it actually threw out
âItâs probably the most shameless political ad Iâve ever seen,â said Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justice David Wecht in a rare interview.

Today we remember 9/11 a day of deep tragedy that still wounds us. Many people remember national unity on that day and following it, but it's also important to remember people were harassed and endangered because they "looked" Muslim. We have to look back and learn and be better.

If you haven't gotten around to calling Rep. John Joyce yet, now the call is to tell him that he voted to take healthcare and food from constituents who need help. These Medicaid cuts will have dire consequences for rural hospitals who rely on Medicaid funds.
