Trash piling up? Libraries & pools closed? Long wait times for emergency calls?
Text DC33 to 30403 to contact the Mayor's office & tell them to give striking AFSCME DC 33 workers a fair contract.

Last month, Mayor Cherelle Parker's city budget gave tax cuts to the wealthiest corporations in Philly. Now, she claims there's no money left for striking city workers to make a living wage.

Thanks to the advocacy of @kendraphlcouncil.bsky.social, @domesticworkers.bsky.social, and so many other councilmembers, leaders, and partners, the POWER Act is now PASSED.
This will expand protections for over 750k workers & make Philly one of the most pro-worker cities in the country.

O’Connor is the one who made this a campaign issue when *HE* challenged Mayor Gainey to “take a walk” & look at Pitt’s 1,600 units of housing.
the mayor took him up on it & planned a whole tour, and now O’Connor is ducking it. too scared to be shown up!

The mayor turned his housing walk into a campaign rally. I won’t be there. This video breaks down why: his debate claim of 1,600 new completed affordable units simply isn’t backed by his own tracker.

oh my god -- Walnut Capital money is too dirty for *a super PAC supporting Corey O'Connor* but not for O'Connor's hard side campaign 😂
rarely do you see PACs return ANY money, but even more rarely do you see them refund money *the candidate they are supporting has also received*

- in 2025, O'Connor's mayoral campaign received $25k from the UPMC Board.
- he now opposes the legal challenges.

Pittsburgh Mayor Ed Gainey has stood up to Trump and Musk at every turn. He’s also one of the progressive mayors in the country. Republicans know they can’t beat him in November. So now MAGA Republicans are pouring money into a May Democratic primary challenge to Gainey.

Anyway, barring some miracle, it seems increasingly likely that a sizeable minority of Senate Dems are about to join with the entire Senate GOP to greenlight a law that will hand Ken Paxton and any random federal judge more power over immigration than any state or judge has ever had in US history.
And now Rosen says she supports and Hickenlooper (like Ossoff) won't filibuster. Hickenlooper says he will seek amendments (which require a majority so likely won't happen).
So now it's down to one final senator.
