The Trump administration’s reckless decision to deploy untested anti-drone tech without FAA review endangered lives and shows a shocking disregard for public safety. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/11/u...

Mental Health // MAJORITY POLICY POINT

Pennsylvania’s community hospitals are under siege from rising costs, staff shortages, and federal cuts. When hospitals close, rural families lose access to care. We need a health system focused on people, not profits. @padempolicy.bsky.social @repkylemullins.com www.pahouse.com/PolicyCommit...

Philadelphia activists rally to restore the President’s House slavery memorial after the Trump administration removed its panels. Fighting to preserve history is fighting for truth. www.inquirer.com/news/philade...

“Keep on recording, keep that spare battery pack in your pocket. Keep it in your car, keep your phones charged. We got to keep recording to hold people accountable.” @repgregscott.com www.inquirer.com/politics/nat...

ICE agents brought a man to UPMC Mercy in Pittsburgh after a violent arrest, sparking fear among patients and staff. Local communities and hospitals are organizing to protect immigrant rights and ensure safety. www.post-gazette.com/news/crime-c...

Pennsylvania residents are standing up for Jacoby Mountain: clean water, wildlife, and forests over industrial gas drilling. Protecting public lands isn’t optional -- it’s urgent. www.sungazette.com/news/top-new...

A handful of Republicans just blocked Speaker Johnson’s plan to shield Trump’s tariffs from congressional review. Even within GOP ranks, there’s mounting pushback against Trump’s overreach. www.notus.org/congress/hou...

A grand jury refused to indict Democratic lawmakers for urging troops not to follow unlawful orders; an outrageous attempt to punish political opponents. Free speech and the rule of law win. apnews.com/article/trum...

@inquirer.com column: Trump’s nominee Jeremy Carl is a white supremacist conspiracy theorist with no UN experience. Confirming him would undermine human rights, U.S. credibility, and global stability. The Senate must reject him. www.inquirer.com/opinion/comm...

Democratic governors walk away from Trump’s White House dinner after being disinvited. Bipartisan collaboration shouldn’t be a partisan privilege. People’s needs come before political games. penncapital-star.com/2026/02/10/r...

Deibler Brothers flooded PA with illegal gambling machines, made $1M+/month, and now the company pays $3M—but the owners walk free. Looting public trust, but no real accountability. www.inquirer.com/news/pennsyl...

PA lawmakers push transparency in AI: data centers would report water & energy use, students get AI career training, and privacy safeguards are recommended. Smart tech should serve people, not just profit. @repkylemullins.com pro.stateaffairs.com/pa/ai-tech/a...

Pennsylvania’s new Working Families Tax Credit puts money back into the pockets of nearly 1M people. Modeled on the federal EITC, it’s a small step toward reducing poverty and rewarding work. @pahousedems.com @repemilykinkead.com www.wesa.fm/economy-busi...

Unsealing this affidavit shows how debunked election lies were weaponized to misuse federal power, undermine local democracy, and erode trust in free and fair elections.

Pennsylvania’s new Working Pennsylvanians Tax Credit puts hundreds of dollars back in families’ pockets while making sure folks who relied on unemployment get the support and info they deserve. www.pa.gov/agencies/rev...

Data centers must be transparent, responsibly sited, environmentally sound, and accountable to residents, not forced onto rural towns by billion-dollar corporations chasing cheap power. @repkylemullins.com www.wvia.org/news/local/2...

“There's a part of education that is actually teaching human skills, not knowledge for the sake of knowledge, but actually preparing people for real life. And this is perfectly reasonable and a smart way to go about it.” @repschweyer.com www.abc27.com/pennsylvania...

When more than a third of Pennsylvania’s streams are deemed impaired, we can’t settle for vague modeling and half-measures. www.post-gazette.com/news/politic...

When people hit hard times, a compassionate, human connection to housing, food, and opportunity shouldn’t depend on luck or zip code. @reppowell.com triblive.com/local/lt-gov...

If cyber charter schools are delivering worse outcomes while draining millions from local classrooms, Pennsylvania owes taxpayers and students real accountability, not blank checks for privatized failure. @reppashinski.com @padempolicy.bsky.social www.thetimes-tribune.com/2026/02/09/l...

Pennsylvania should pair smart, flexible cellphone limits with social media literacy and mental health support so students can actually thrive. @repschweyer.com www.wesa.fm/education/20...

If you violate a court order meant to stop violence, tougher penalties (including losing firearms) are common sense, not a “backdoor ban.” @repdavidson.com @repemilykinkead.com www.ydr.com/story/news/p...

Sixteen years of denial, secrecy, and oil money to erase climate protections that keep us safe. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/09/c...

LIVE IN 30 MINUTES: Cyber charter reform is now law - school districts are saving millions with the end of overpayments. What are the benefits so far? And what else can be done? @rephaddock.com and @reppashinski.com will find out:

Rebuking President Trump, Congress votes to maintain most of the federal funding for libraries, museums, and archives. www.everylibrary.org/congress2026... via @everylibrary.bsky.social

The expansion of ACA tax credits worked. Their end shows what happens when profit-driven politics override health care access. www.inquirer.com/health/penni...

Innovation doesn’t happen by accident. Letting SBIR/STTR funding lapse hurts PA biotechs, jobs, and patients, and Congress must reauthorize America’s seed fund so science and small businesses can thrive. www.inquirer.com/health/phila...

Trust real science and public health experts, not unreviewed papers and reckless experiments that risk children’s lives by undermining vaccines that have safely saved millions for decades. www.spotlightpa.org/news/2026/02...

PA communities should never profit from human suffering. Warehouse deals that expand ICE detention undermine human rights, local trust, and the dignity immigrants bring to our region. www.mcall.com/2026/02/06/l...

Rep. Chris Deluzio is defending the Constitution. Reminding servicemembers of their duty to refuse illegal orders is patriotism, not a crime, and threatening dissent with prosecution is authoritarianism. triblive.com/local/region...

[email protected] columnist: We can't stay silent as Donald Trump weaponizes racist tropes during Black History Month—demeaning the Obamas, attacking Black communities, and signaling that hate has a home in his politics when history demands we confront it, not repeat it. shorturl.at/Rsq88

America’s 250th birthday should honor our shared history and democratic values, not be turned into a million-dollar grift that sells access to Trump and repackages patriotism as personal branding. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/08/u...

Pennsylvania’s elections belong to voters; we don't need politicians willing to hand them over to Donald Trump after years of denying results and undermining the Constitution. www.witf.org/2026/02/06/g...

[email protected] stand with Gov. Josh Shapiro in rejecting secretive ICE detention deals, racist rhetoric, and federal interference in elections—because Pennsylvania’s future should be built on jobs, dignity, and democracy, not fear and division. www.inquirer.com/politics/pen...

Democrats believe in free, fair elections run by the states—not a president threatening to seize voter rolls, intimidate election workers, or “nationalize” democracy when he fears accountability at the ballot box. penncapital-star.com/2026/02/06/r...

Protecting kids while innovation races ahead means smart, enforceable guardrails -- @pahousedems.com will lead on AI by putting child safety, mental health, and accountability first without surrendering the future to the Wild West. www.wesa.fm/health-scien...

“There may be different ways to skin the cat, so to speak, [b]ut we need to at least see that in the Senate, there is a willingness and a capacity to pass something.” -- @repdanfrankel.com www.spotlightpa.org/news/2026/02...

“We need to make sure we’re responsible and respectful to local communities. ...At a time where people are getting energy bills that are too damn high, people need to make sure that [data centers do] not drive up energy costs for regular people.” #PAHouse Leader @repbradford.com shorturl.at/nrWW6

At this point, he's just trying to see how many grifts he can get away with till time runs out on him.

Are they going to also "blame a staffer" for Obama permanently living, 24/7, rent-free in his head? #pathetic
