I want to know if the President of the United States is a pedophile. And I know the American people do too.
I'm shocked that Republicans would rather shut down Congress than stand up to a dead pedophile.
So why not release the files?

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Dave McCormick just cast the deciding vote for this BS bill that raises costs of health care, food and utilities, and leaves Pennsylvanians to die.
The bill now goes to the House where PA’s GOP delegation will decide its fate. Call and let them know how you feel at 202-224-3121.

Here’s the thing, American friends.
We know it’s Trump, Musk & Project 2025 that are attacking Canada economically right now, not the United States as a whole.
We get that.

Pittsburgh is for everyone...as long as you lived here for an indeterminate amount of time.
It's wild to me that this administration hates people from outside of the city so much that they now accuse them of causing the housing crisis here. I would love to have a mayor who actively encourages folks to move to our great city.
