While people struggle to find affordable housing, transportation costs skyrocket, and simply providing a meal to our children becomes difficult- rest assured your next box of 9mm might be tax free. Too bad you can’t eat ammunition. These are deeply unserious proposals.

I’ve seen this one before.

Expanding the use of body cams by more law enforcement agencies ran into a snag - PA's wiretap law needs updated. @rockcopeland.bsky.social saw the problem & asked @ryanbizzarro.bsky.social for help - now legislation is on the way: www.goerie.com/story/news/l...

It's time to pass a budget that gives Pennsyvanians what we need to thrive, not one that barely lets us survive. Call Sen. Pittman and tell him to stop playing games! #PABudget

Scabby the Rat has a message for Chicago History Museum management: Do the right thing. Workers and community supporters picketed against the museum’s decision to fire four workers and threaten the jobs of six more in retaliation for them exercising their right to form a union.

Republicans: “No one wants to work any more.” “What about these immigrants who want to work?” Republicans: “Not them. Send them to a gulag.”

Good question.

Confused about the PA Budget? Well we've boiled it all down just for you! #thread #PABudget

Serious question. Kristi Noem was pictured with a Rolex in El Salvador, and got 3k in cash stolen. She has been on a govt salary for years. Something aint right

when people say "this isn't what I voted for" they should be forced to list what they DID vote for

This is a @britcrampsie.bsky.social appreciation post

Democratic Chair of the fastest growing county in Pennsylvania, Cumberland County, demands Fetterman resign www.pennlive.com/opinion/2025...

We’re in the middle of hostile government takeover Schumer doesn’t want to talk about it or do the work And if you’re saying wait a minute who we got to stop this? We had one but Chuck didn’t want to be strong in office

AOC: It is almost unthinkable why Senate Democrats would vote to to hand the few pieces of leverage that we have away for free when we've been sent here to protect social security, protect medicaid, and protect medicare.

The absolute devastation that @chuckschumer.com is about to inflict on D.C. by supporting the GOP’s continuing resolution is hard to overstate. Massive cuts to schools and law enforcement. Teachers laid off en masse. Basic city services may grind to a halt because we *cannot spend our own money.*

This is a signal to the American people that Democrats will not fight for them. We have to be using our votes for leverage right now. To protect the social services folks are asking us to. To invest in our communities. Otherwise Republicans will just keep running us over.

Exactly this.

Colorado GOPs asking Trump White House to withhold funding from Colorado until Gov. Jared Polis pardons Tina Peters, county clerk convicted of tampering with voting machines, also asking DOJ in prosecute judge who sentenced her. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bCU...

Dems can't talk about the corporate + billionaire takeover of the Republican-led government while still answering to its own corp + billionaire donors. We can't serve two masters. We can’t save our country if we’re still deciding if we're the party of the money or the many

“I know what John Lewis would have done. He would’ve gotten arrested that day.”

No kings

this is what white supremacy looks like.

if I understand American politics correctly, progressivism is something that requires 60 senate votes to work, while national conservatism doesn’t require any votes at all

You are MEMBERS OF CONGRESS. If they threaten you with arrest for trying to access a site you are lawfully entitled to access, YOU MAKE THEM FUCKING ARREST YOU. YOU MAKE THEM SLAP THE CUFFS ON A CONGRESSMAN LIVE ON TV, YOU MAKE THEM FUCKING DO IT.

“Elon Musk Has Plunged America Into a Constitutional Crisis. He Must Be Stopped.” Powerful and much-needed appraisal from Will Stancil of the meaning of, and fallout from, this weekend’s takeover of the Treasury and USAID by Musk and his minions.

Warren is the ranking member on the Senate Banking Committee. Wyden is the same on the Senate Finance Committee. They need to go to the Treasury building with crews from CNN and NBC and demand to be let in. As soon as they're not, hold a press conference right there and explain what DOGE is doing.

@schumer.senate.gov please fire your social media staff and anyone who thought this was good messaging. ELON MUSK HAS ACCESS TO THE GOV'T'S PAYMENT SYSTEM HOW ABOUT WE FOCUS ON THAT.

The labor movement would not exist without the work of Black union members and leaders. During #BlackHistoryMonth, now more than ever, America’s unions celebrate those who came before us and those currently fighting for racial justice in the workplace and in their communities.

Federal workers deserve dignity and respect. Pass it on.

Trump didn’t have to blame anyone. He could’ve led and said we don’t know, it’s a tragedy, we can’t let it happen again. Instead, terrified of any personal accountability, he lashed the out and scapegoated women, minorities, disabled people, and Biden. It’s both pathetic and tactically dumb.

The crisis is here. Dems will win by making this fight about impact on people’s lives. The GOP wants to fight on “federal funding.” They’re not attacking “funding.” They’re attacking veterans, kids who need school lunches, people battling cancer, workers trying to unionize.

Solidarity is all we have. When times are dark, we can band together to overcome anything.

I’ll be honest, this week there was more to destroy the rule of law than in trumps first term, And i have no idea what the Democrats are doing to fight back. Or even saying. Crickets

Let’s be clear- the media isn’t calling balls and strikes because the President is threatening to hit them with a bat. They are too afraid of slap suits to speak the truth.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

it's like AOC is the only person who is expressing an actual emotion here

Well I guess the upside is that Pete Hegseth will now quit drinking?

Yo-did Mitch McConnell just vote against Hegseth?

"One of the challenges that a lot of people have is they don't feel that they can speak up, because it's going to cost them personally. So I think it's all the more important for people who can bear that cost to do so." #quitMeta @marklemley.bsky.social @wired.com

Elon Musk has done the following: -Reinstated Nazis on his platform -Publicly endorsed a neo-Nazi party -Routinely amplifies ideas and talking points from Nazis -Publicly demonized Jewish organizations that have criticized the above Use your brain and tell his apologists to get fucked

Organizing is how we defeated Trump’s attacks on the ACA when I was at @moveon.org. Organizing is how we beat back the GOP and unrigged our state with @wisdems.bsky.social. Let’s put an organizer in charge of the DNC—and organize our way to a country that works for working people.

PA Dems are ready to make sure our courts are fair and honest. Earlier today I happily voted to endorse Brandon Nueman for Superior Court and Stella Tsai for Commonwealth Court.

The strange thing about Twitter and its derivatives is a tendency for its users to share content they agree with, rather than posting their own content. This exists on other platforms of course, but this appears to be a particularly strong feature of character limited services.

Too bad my Senator Fetterman cosponsored Lakin Reilly. And his wife used to be an undocumented immigrant. Now she is a citizen

Fun fact: invading Greenland, Panama, or sparking a trade war with Canada won’t lower the price of eggs.

This is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard a pundit say. That’s a remarkable achievement.

Malcom is the best among us. I couldn’t support him more.

I’m still in shock, but will always appreciate Senator Casey. Thank you.

As ever, the loss of something good and useful for Americans is framed as a loss for Democrats — in the mass media, everything becomes just a political football to be kicked back and forth instead of examined for its impact on everyday citizens regardless of political party.
