Wishing a happy and joyous Christmas to all yinz who celebrate!

New story: How does Pittsburgh have 20,000 vacant homes — and a housing shortage? I show you one block in the Knoxville neighborhood to tell you why. www.publicsource.org/pittsburgh-h...

The frigid temps couldn’t keep away the warm and joyful spirits from a wonderful Chanukah ceremony this evening. Much gratitude to Chabad of the South Hills as always. In light of recent events, Dormont is always proud to be supporters of our Jewish neighbors.

#H2P!!!! 🏐

Four Republicans just voted for a 3-year extension of ACA -- a huge achievement -- and a dozen or more are advocating at least a 2-year extension in the House. The momentum is with us but Fetterman as usual is giving up. Here is a challenge to him to do his job.

With how disgustingly and nakedly partisan this Court has become, any Democrat in or running for federal office must be willing to say how SCOTUS needs significantly reformed.

“Home for the Holidays” was a blast this year as always! It was pleasure taking part in the parade, and to sing along side the Holly Jollies for the first time! 🎄 🎵

Great time and outstanding turnout tonight in support of @jenforpa.bsky.social! Jen will be an incredible advocate for working people in the South hills, and I’m pumped to hit the ground running to help send her to Harrisburg!

A $539 per month increase for our household next year and a similar increase for millions more. Brought to you by the people who pledged to bring down costs. #SinglePayerNow

I’m Jen Mazzocco. I’m a teacher, a mom, a union leader and a councilwoman, and now I’m running to be your next State Representative in House District 42.

You’d be hard pressed to find one bit of progress Dormont has made over the last 8 years that Jen hasn’t played some role in. I’ve been proud to serve with her on Borough Council, and whole heatedly endorse her for HD42! Let’s get her to Harrisburg! www.wesa.fm/politics-gov...

Today and every day we honor those who serve. Happy Veterans Day! 🇺🇸

Solidarity ALWAYS wins. Congrats to the working men and women at the PG!! 👊

Any “deal” that ends with Dems just getting a pinky promise in return is a mistake. The American people are suffering because Republicans refuse to stop healthcare costs from skyrocketing. An agreement that doesn’t fix that reality falls massively short.

Yes, Mr. President: You’re right. We do have “the worst health care” of any major country. Despite spending twice as much per capita, we are the only major country not to guarantee health care to all as a human right. The solution: Medicare for All.

Incredible scene at the grand opening of the Hollywood Theater tonight! Packed house on hand for a special showing of “Metropolis.” Congratulations and thank you to Brian and Row House Cinemas for bringing the crown jewel of Dormont back to life! 🎥 🍿

HUGE news for our Commonwealth.

Good results all around tonight! #H2P #VoteBlue

Polls are OPEN! Check your polling place if you need to, and remember, if you applied for a mail-in ballot and still have it, DO NOT put it in the regular mail. It won’t arrive on time. Vote in person via regular ballot! Go vote, yinz. 🗳️ 🇺🇸 www.pavoterservices.pa.gov/Pages/Pollin...

Over 160,000 residents in Allegheny County alone receive some form of SNAP benefit or food assistance. One third of them are children. With these crucial lifelines potentially on the chopping block, please consider helping out however you can: www.pghcitypaper.com/news-2/with-...

Hitting turf today for our local slate, and to remind people to vote YES to retain our statewide judges!!!

Get in, Pitt Volleyball fans: We're raising $1,390 for the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank. The Bandwagoner's Guide has some suggested donations for you too.

Republicans' refusal to negotiate and bring the House back into session is pushing us closer to skyrocketing healthcare costs. Open enrollment starts soon––see how premiums for people in PA-12 may be impacted by Republican's manufactured healthcare crisis ⬇️

Awesome time at the Dormont Street Fair yesterday! Potomac Avenue was packed all day and evening. Got to stop by and see some friends with the Dormont Dems, and then hop on stage for a few songs with the Gold Mountain Music All Star Band! 🎸 🍻

Republicans in Harrisburg have caused the state budget to be more than three months late for ideological and political reasons. Republicans in DC have shut down the government for ideological and political reasons. Sensing a theme here?

I will not back down. Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power. What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Statement from Illinois Governor JB Pritzker

PRT’s announcement is welcome news for riders who use public transit to get to class, work and countless destinations. But the work from the legislature is far from over. We must secure a permanent sustainable revenue source for transit and transportation. www.wesa.fm/development-...

Single. Payer.

Our family’s health care premiums will roughly double next year, and my Democratic Senator will tepidly be going along with the spending plan to make it happen.

Today, and every day, we always remember. 🇺🇸

A couple months after the GOP Congress voted to gut Medicaid to give themselves a tax cut, millions more with private insurance are set to incur massive premium hikes. This on top of a softening job market and increasing costs for utilities and basic necessities.

Pittsburgh will always be a union town. Wishing everyone a happy and safe #LaborDay!

Good to attend an open house in Lebo this evening by Toole Design, who will be formulating a joint Active Transportation Plan between Mt. Lebanon and Dormont!

Great to see this! I know Row House Hollywood has been delayed more times than Infrastructure Week, but the theater really will be a great (re-)addition to the South Hills.

Outstanding news overnight. Solidarity always wins. ✊🏻

A pretty cool setting on Potomac Avenue today 👀 Always exciting when your community can be featured on the small screen! 📺

The Pennsylvania Senate was in session for *one day* in the month of August with a budget that is six weeks late in order to vote for an unserious transit funding bill they know will not pass the House, and they don’t come back until September 8.

Republicans in the Senate wanted sustainable funding sources to address, among other things, public transit. They received a bill from the @pahousedems.com to do that. Now the party of “fiscal responsibility” wants to swipe money from capital funds to “fix” the problem. Completely unserious.

The state house is retuning to vote in a few days to continue budget work and vote on a bill to fund transit. The upper chamber doesn’t come back for a month. The state senate is broken, and new leadership is needed.

With last year’s National Night Out getting canceled due to rain, we were hopeful that the weather would cooperate this time around, and boy did it ever. Great to see so many come out and meet and greet our first responders and public safety personnel!

Outstanding time at our 5th annual “Ice Cream Social” this afternoon!

Thanks to all who came out for live music at Hillsdale Park today, and to those who have contributed so far for the “Back to School” drive to benefit the Dormont Free Pantry!

If any of yinz are looking for something to do next Saturday, I’m performing a 3 hour acoustic set 8/2 at Hillsdale Park in Dormont (corner of Hillsdale and West Liberty), which will also be a dropoff point for a Back-to-School Drive to benefit the Dormont Free Pantry! Hope to see you there!

This is incredibly impressive, and not at all surprising. Alex is one of the hardest workers in the business, and his work ethic and dedication will carry over through to November.

Great to catch a rally today in support of one of our nation’s greatest domestic achievements: the 60th anniversary of the enactment of Medicare and Medicaid. Today’s attacks on millions of Americans’ care should only reignite the movement for national universal coverage. #M4A

This is obviously great news. But the whole concept of “medical debt” is one that shouldn’t exist in the first place. We need to continue and expand the conversation about true universal healthcare coverage in America.

This is awesome. www.wesa.fm/90-5-wesa-st...
