I attended a Catholic service today which unnecessarily included a "moment of silence" for Charlie Kirk. I was stunned. This does not feel like the church of my youth. I am completely at a loss for how to process this.

PAers can demonstrate that they are fed up by voting for change in the PA Senate, which has been GOP-controlled for decades. @padems.org
When will Pennsylvanians get fed up?

But the real story here is the arrogance of Texas Republicans
They are "entitled" to nothing
