Policy making takes homework, not slogans. Work requirements for Medicaid/SNAP aren’t “common sense” — they don’t boost work, they just cut off the people who need help most.

Wow, Rep Ryan Mackenzie! A few bucks off tips and overtime while you defund our healthcare and food programs. What a deal.

Want to keep control over your healthcare, your vote, and your rights? Even if the federal government takes them away, Pennsylvania can still protect us — but only if our Supreme Court wants to. Vote YES to keep judges who protect, not restrict, our freedoms.

This is exactly how we got here — powerful people pointing fingers at “foreigners” and “others” while they grabbed everything for themselves. Decades of distraction and division. #EconomicJustice #Truth

RE: The shutdown — The GOP owns this. They’ve always wanted to gut the ACA, and now they’re shutting down gov’t to get there. Their budget spikes premiums for 20M+ and risks coverage for millions more—while hiding behind bogus lines about “illegals” & “able-bodied.”

@nexstarmediagroup.bsky.social just caved to government pressure + pulled Jimmy Kimmel Live. That’s censorship. @phl17.bsky.social is a Nexstar channel — and advertisers shouldn’t bankroll it. Free speech isn’t optional. #StopCensorship #FreeSpeech #PHL17

Don’t sleep on this. Free Speech is supposed to stop government censorship. Now Trump and his FCC are threatening comedians like Kimmel and Colbert and every network that airs critics. That’s not business, that’s authoritarian abuse of power.

Matthew Weimann painted his way through college 🎨, then chose teaching to invest in the future. Now this Parkland parent is running for School Board. Same grit, bigger canvas. Vote Nov 4. #LehighValley #VoteLocal

Tariffs are pitched as “bringing jobs back.” In reality, they’re a sneaky checkout tax — families pay more while the Big Beautiful Bill’s tax cuts + ICE get funded. A few factory jobs, but bigger losses in wages, growth, and trust.

Trump’s power play hits home. 📺
PBS39 just lost $1.1M — 20% of its budget. Free school programs now need funders, and our station must fight to keep arts, culture & education alive. His goal is clear: silence independent voices.

GOP playbook, per Politico: defend the “Big Beautiful Bill” by repeating “no taxes on tips,” “no taxes on OT,” and “highest take-home pay.” PA reps like Ryan Mackenzie are on script. But those perks are temporary—the tax breaks for the rich? Permanent. #PApolitics #OneBigBeautifulBill

“The budget… takes direct aim at the most pressing challenges facing Greater Lehigh Valley families.” —Rep. Ryan Mackenzie, July 24, 2025. He says the bill “takes aim” at our biggest challenges. It does — and hits the people who need help most. He voted for cuts and red tape. @fubarpac.bsky.social

Cultural institutions in PA shouldn’t bend to political pressures. History and education aren’t for sale.

The GOP’s “Big Beautiful Bill” slashes science funding across the board—55% from NSF, 52% from NASA science, 40% from NIH. Total R&D drops by $44 billion. Meanwhile, ICE grows and billionaires get tax breaks. This is how a world leader falls behind. #sciencematters #fundscience

PA Sen. McCormick wants to defund PBS and NPR for being “too liberal.” He says public media “did this to itself” by reporting facts instead of GOP spin. That’s not policy — it’s censorship dressed up as fiscal concern. We stand with public media-- #SavePBS #SaveNPR #PBS #NPR #PublicMedia
