If you live in Pennsylvania and are registered to vote, please vote Yes to retention. The "Republicans" want to empty our courts to flip them to more MAGA-favored judges.

We can not afford to seed any more power to the party that supports treason.

Vote YES in November!

How does judicial retention work in Pennsylvania?

On Nov. 4, three Pennsylvania Supreme Court judges are running in yes-or-no retention elections for another 10-year term.

Pennsylvania has an important Supreme Court race coming up on Tuesday, November 4. If you live in the Keystone State, or know someone who does, vote YES to retain three justices who will protect your fundamental rights and freedoms.

Would you have preferred that he crawled out of the womb with political experience?
We can't build experience when nobody is willing to step away from the geriatric candidates to give younger people a chance. Your logic is flawed and unproductive.
Also, the average age of Americans is 38 yo 😁🖕🏼

Because of the Republican shutdown, SNAP benefits are set to be delayed at the end of the month. I joined Westmoreland Food Bank, Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank, and other local stakeholders to discuss our fight for food security and hear from folks who run these lifelines.

Rep. Lee speaks to stakeholders at roundtable.

TWO CAN PLAY THAT GAME: The official Massachusetts SNAP website now warns that Trump is “choosing not to issue November SNAP benefits that help you and many families put food on the table.” It also warns of cuts due to “Congressional Republicans and President Trump” in the “One Big Beautiful Bill.”

I guess you sue the name-brand company since they have money, but acetaminophen in general is cool, right?

"I'll take some ibuprofen but don't you dare give me Advil!"
"I scoff at Aleve but naproxen sodium is for me."

MAGA goons' heads are full of air. Their logic is deeply flawed.

Houston, Texas ICE GOONS hospitalized a 16-year-old U.S. citizen on his way to school. The teen, a star football and soccer player, was violently detained alongside his father. Despite his cries for help, “I’m underage!” the agents tackled him, resulting in severe neck and back injuries.

The government shutdown has put SNAP benefits at risk for millions of Americans. Travis Peters, an urban farmer in Detroit, is giving out free produce tomorrow

'If it's getting tight, my food is free. Don’t even sweat that'

As SNAP benefits come under threat, a Detroit farmer is stepping up to help fill the void

The federal shutdown has put SNAP benefits at risk for millions of Americans. Urban farmers like Travis Peters are stepping up to ensure their communities can eat.

Our new health insurance premium feels more like a shakedown‼️

Thank you, @politicsgirl.bsky.social , for sharing your story. You’re right—there are millions like you.

Our new premium is over $3K/month for a family of three. Could we scrape it together? Maybe. Should we have to? No.

So he is going to "run" the government like a spoiled child who wants their way or no way?

Hunnnnyyyy. You are a grown ass man. Hell, Congress is as ancient as shit. Yet, you negotiate like a toddler digging in your heels. This isn't the way adults negotiate. This isn't fuckin Grindr Mike.

No bitch! You are refusing to even MEET with Democrats. Which half of the American population voted for!

When all of government is facing millions of angry citizens, don't clutch your pearls when they string you up and give you the treatment you deserve.

Republicans in government are terrorists.

His job is being a paid MAGA protestor, as he probably can't get a real job that requires a background check.

It's ALWAYS projection with MAGA.
That's why Trump says we are paid. Because they pay people to even show up to rallies. His popularity is highly inflated.

ICE followed the mother into a school and aggressively detained her along with her children.

No more money for the federal government. They are NOTHING without all the states giving them money.

If they don't want to work for us then what are we all collectively paying them for.

No taxation without representation!
Ya know, founding father shit.

Without the collective taxes of the states,what does the Federal Government have? They would be NOTHING without each state putting into the pot.
What happens if the IRS doesn't issue tax refunds in 2026 either?
The MAGA regime is burning the house down while still being inside. Great strategy guys!

I could cry just thinking about this. I'm struggling to get my kid into a program that will benefit him and not cost a fortune. We don't have many resources where we live.
This is his response to a prompt he was asked to write to hopefully get into the gifted program in my state. Only 15yo.

Prompt response from my kid to tell what he hopes to get from the gifted program.

"School is largely a monotonous means to an end currently, though I still value what that represents: a structured path toward a higher education that I believe will fulfill me more deeply. I think, however, that the gifted program could not only help me reach that goal more efficiently, but also mirror the way I study independently (which “learning” is my most frequent passtime, just not learning for, or within, school).

The two salient things that would help achieve this are: access to advanced or accelerated classes and more freedom to pursue what I'm intellectually passionate about–by that I mean the ability to do more independent writings and readings, and the ability to stray directly away from rote syllabi."

American exceptionalism might help destroy MAGA. They are the biggest believers in it.
They perceive our country from an egotistical point of view. Probably due to their privileged upbringing in a country that only benefits those at the top.
When the facade falls, they're in for a rude awakening.

The program that helps feed people in my county has cut funds to ONLY my county due to a lack of resources.
My local Rep owns Mrs. T's pierogies. Think he is bothering to feed anyone? Nope!

Mrs. T's pierogies and Yuengling beer have been greedy, support fascism, and shit on their local communities.
