Hey Pennsylvania voters (and Pittsburghers): did you try and contact Senator Fetterman's office yesterday only to find out you couldn't leave a voicemail?
I'm interested in talking to his constituents for the news today.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

I would like for national political reporters to place a moratorium on “But what will voters in the rest of America think about New York City’s socialist mayor?” We don’t care! Red states are notably full of psycho politicians yet rarely do you see pundits asking Brooklyn people about them.

You’d think this “pro” “housing” “organization” would be following judicial races, particularly magisterial district judges. MDJs handle a lot of landlord/tenant cases, meaning the fate of whether a person is housed or evicted rests in the judge’s hands.

LIHEAP is delayed in Pa. due to the federal government shutdown. Here’s what to know
State officials say Pennsylvania has not received its federal allocation for LIHEAP. Assistance could open on Dec. 3, if the funds begin to flow before then.
