In a lot of ways Pittsburgh splits the difference weather wise between Toronto and New York, and being slightly farther south, our earliest sunset is 4:53pm which is a big improvement over both

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.

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.

Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.
so currently defectors are:

Kaine (2030)
Shaheen (Retiring)
Hasan (2028)
Fetterman (2028)
Durbin (Retiring)
CCM (2028)
Rosen (2030)
King (2030)

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

Hey everyone - I hate doing this but we had to have major emergency plumbing work done on the house we just moved into. The main pipe from upstairs to the basement was completely rusted out and filling the wall with water in several places. Any help infinitely appreciated

Readers in Arizona, Michigan, & Georgia!

Your senators have been getting a LOT of dedicated pressure to end the shutdown, without fixing healthcare.

If you have a minute, go ahead & give them a call!

Their job is to respond to constituents & they're mostly hearing from GOP voters rn.

Detergent pods and tablets for dishwashers only solve two actual problems:

1. Improving performance for those who always overdose and end up with residues
2. Helping those with mobility issues

Otherwise, the main thing they do is make sure "40 pods" will last you exactly 40 cycles and that's it.

A vote for Mamdani isn’t just a vote to make NY better, it’s a vote to make Florida worse

It’s cool that Chuck Schumer, Kiersten Gillibrand, and Hakeem Jeffries just proved to every future dem that establishment approval is irrelevant tbh
Q: It's election day in NYC. Did you vote for Mamdani or Cuomo?

Schumer: "Look, I voted, and I look forward to working with the next mayor to help NYC."

if you’re in PA and considering not voting: don’t be a dumbass.

skip everything else if you want but vote to retain the three Supreme Court justices on the ballot, it cannot be understated how important this is

PA! Please get out and vote to retain these excellent state supreme court justices. Free and fair elections are at stake!!

If you're voting in PA, don't forget to vote YES on the Pennsylvania Supreme Court retention election because a NO vote means we'll have a 2-2 state Supreme Court that can't decide anything until after the 2027 election

If you weren't going to vote but you're registered, just go, you get a sticker🤷

Neo-conservativism presaged Trumpian neo-fascism in several respects. It saw violence as a positive policy option not a defensive last resort. It held laws, norms and the lives of non-white people in total contempt. And many, many centrists either cringed in deference to it or actively collaborated.
