“When you hear about ‘early voting’ in Pennsylvania, or ‘on-demand voting,’ or ‘over the counter voting,’ what they really mean in voting by mail ballot—in person—at a board of elections office. All Pennsylvanians have this option with mail ballot voting.”

Trumps unnecessary war with Iran is the cause of higher diesel and gas prices in the US, not Ukraine. Trump blaming Zelenskyy is both empirically wrong and morally disgusting.

Pete Hegseth has taken our military’s tradition of selfless service and flipped it on its head. With this public execution, he is degrading the culture of our military and turning a culture of service into one of vengeance & spectacle, performed for cameras & attention on social media. The Fort Hood shooter's actions were horrific. Responding to it by livestreaming a violent execution is not an answer. A public execution only gives our adversaries fodder for anti-American propaganda that makes us less safe. Pete Hegseth’s self-absorbed hunger for power, attention, and violence is disgusting and beneath the office he holds. He is not fit to lead.

The U.S. military plans to livestream the execution of Nidal Hasan, the ex-Army major who was convicted of the 2009 killing of 13 people at Fort Hood, when he faces a firing squad on Dec. 3, a Pentagon official said. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said earlier Thursday the Pentagon planned to make the execution public. Hasan's case could mark the military's first execution of an American service member since 1961.

"My Republican colleagues who say that we got to $40 trillion because of spending alone are ignoring half the story." Read RM @CongBoyle's op-ed in @FT on America's growing national debt and the consequences of GOP tax breaks for the ultra-rich: democrats-budget.house.gov/n…
We need a US debt conversation - will the Republicans have one? PLURIB Borrowing heavily to finance tax cuts for the wealthy leaves us less prepared for emergencies when they come [...] The negative impact of our deteriorating fiscal health can no longer be ignored, as it has been by many on both sides of the aisle. The national debt is now so large that annual net interest costs are projected to be higher than $2tn. Every dollar that goes towards servicing the debt is money we cannot use on healthcare, infrastructure or education. So, what do we do about it without asking working families to make sacrifices? First, large tax giveaways, especially to the wealthy, should not be permanent. They should face periodic non-partisan reviews on their impact and whether economic growth has covered the cost of the tax break. In addition, Congress should be forced to vote to renew them on an annual or biennial basis. Congress, rightfully so, carefully examines spending line by line. The same shou

The Trump Administration is using OUR tax dollars to make TV ads that are nothing more than campaign commercials for the President’s collapsing and retreating MAGA forces. Calling this pathetic propaganda “public service” is a joke, especially when we need real PSAs about the scary measles outbreak and other viral threats brought to you by RFK Jr. and Trump’s idiocy.
 We’re demanding answers about this propaganda outbreak paid for by you. huffpost.com/entry/jamie-ras…

Donald Trump: cuts funding for food assistance — and last November, canceled checks from going out to the nearly 2 million Pennsylvanians who rely on SNAP. My Administration: makes sure every single student in our Commonwealth can start their day with a healthy breakfast. Because here in Pennsylvania, we don’t let people go hungry — especially our kids.
