BREAKING: We won!

Today the 3rd Circuit Court ordered the @post-gazette.com to restore our contract it illegally tore up 5 years ago. That’s our health care, PTO, right to a 40-hr. work week, short-term disability and so much more we’ve struck for 3+ years.

Speaker Johnson is officially keeping the House in recess again next week. This will be the eighth consecutive week the House has been out of session. The chamber hasn't met since Sept. 19. Adelita Grijalva, who was elected on Sept. 23, has not been sworn in.

NEW: By a 5–4 vote, the Supreme Court HALTS a district court order requiring the Education Department to pay out more than 100 grants to public schools and universities that the Trump administration canceled.

girl.. he’s literally threatening third term while deporting mass groups no trial to mass prisons.
Reflect on that for a second. You think Trump is bad? You think Trump is authoritarian? Well imagine a country where the leader rules in perpetuity, where minorities are sent to a giant chain of concentration camps, where censorship is omnipresent, where free speech doesn't exist even as an idea

State lawmakers gathered in Harrisburg Wednesday to denounce what they see as a Trump administration rollback of anti-discrimination housing laws. They’re aiming to garner bipartisan support in the state Senate to ensure Pennsylvania upholds federal standards that have been in place for decades.

The inflationary impact is one thing; howeverq the short- and long-term impacts to supply chain will be substantially greater than we experienced during Covid. Trump is disrupting a global economy where long-term dependable suppliers will be severed as a consequence.

I don't expect any of our major media outlets to acknowledge this outright, but this is the thing: These aren't 'steep' tariffs, these are _insane_ tariffs. These are 'nobody in the White House understands decimal points' numbers. It speaks to total economic illiteracy _throughout the White House_.
There's no question that today's tariff announcement will give the United States the highest tariff rates of any industrialized country. And it's not even close.

Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.

They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

Life changing medicine…unless you’re trans. This is a shameful act of cowardice by the largest employer and so-called purely public charity in Pittsburgh.
Multiple families of transgender children said UPMC Children’s Hospital has denied access to gender-affirming care medicine to their kids. Without communication from their doctors or a clear path forward, some parents said they’re fearing for their child’s future.
