there are two types of republicans in Congress:
cultists and cucks. Cassidy is probably the most quintessential example of the latter

The big difference between YIMBYs and others on the left is that when we see a great city, we don’t think “keep people out.” We think “build enough so everyone who wants to live here can.”
The scarcity mindset sucks!

Three-time Trump voter: I'm looking at this awful picture of the Obamas. What an embarrassment to our country. He is not worthy of the presidency. He takes bribes blatantly, and now he's being a racist blatantly. He's pathetic as a president, and I want to apologize for supporting this rotten man.

one thing i have noticed is a lot of folks do not seem to understand the difference between a presidential election and 435+ legislative elections. i have seen any number of people say that you could subvert the outcome this november by targeting “swing states,” which does not make any sense.

30% of teenagers report using an AI companion bot every day — a space that’s still entirely unregulated.
It's not only dangerous — I'd argue it’s illegal.
We need commonsense safeguards in place to protect our kids, and that's what we're fighting to deliver in Pennsylvania.

Even with the proposed new revenue, the plan would require dipping into the state’s $7.5 billion rainy day fund. The spending would allow for increased funding for education, healthcare, economic development and safety programs, among others.

And we do it all without a single broad-based tax increase.
