"Western Pennsylvania is the playground of fossil fuels, but from there we sent not just the first Black woman to Congress from Pennsylvania, we also sent a Green New Deal politician there. So I’m telling you, if we can win there, then we can win everywhere."

Black Tennessee residents express outrage at the state Republicans who expelled their representative for protesting gun violence last week.

“He’s Black, he has our interests at heart, and he gets removed for protesting, that is racial.” https://t.co/Op214I5ErV

Taxonomy has been going on for hundreds of years and scientists are still making discoveries. One of them is IUP's Josiah Townsend (@IUPBiology) who has uncovered more than 20 species while researching with students in Honduras. #ThisIsIUPResearch https://t.co/DauPwpbqGR

I’m joining parents, students, librarians and teachers to oppose the GOP's MAGA federal power grab over local schools, a phony "Parents' Bill of Rights" designed to extend their rampant book banning and suppression of history.

[Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro]

Pennsylvania, let’s raise the minimum wage to $15.

Finally.

Powerful: Ranking Member @RepMcGovern just read an entire book into the record.

“It's called The Life of Rosa Parks by Kathleen Connors. It was pulled from second grade classrooms in the Duval County public school district in Florida. So let's just see what's so objectionable.”

@krassenstein Isn't it ironic that DeSantis' book is titled "The Courage to Be Free", and yet his polices surround removing freedoms, such as freedom of the press, speech and academic freedom? #DeSantisIsAFascist

[MS NOW @MSNOWNews]

WATCH: New College has become a target of Florida Gov. DeSantis, who is implementing an administrative overhaul to give the school a new conservative identity.

"As long as we're here they can't change the culture of the school," one student says. https://t.co/okxCzPBEYw

FBI Director Christopher Wray said that the Covid pandemic was probably the result of a laboratory leak in China, providing the first public confirmation of the bureau’s classified judgment of how the virus first emerged https://t.co/KIr8niy8H9

@DimitriSadie @GovernorShapiro That is actually oil in the water supply which has caused iridescence. Each wavelength of light is a different color. The difference in thickness between oil and water causes light to travel different distances between their many layers, causing different wavelengths.

Hey Hey! Ho Ho! STUDENT DEBT HAS GOT TO GO!!! #PeoplesRally #CancelStudentDebt

[Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro]

.@RepMcClinton has been a trailblazer her entire career as a public defender, advocate, and legislator.

Today, she makes history as Pennsylvania’s first female Speaker and first Black female to lead the House.

I'm thrilled to call her Madam Speaker.

I admire Senator John Fetterman for openly seeking treatment for depression at Walter Reed.

Back in 2010, I was hospitalized for depression. I would not be alive, let alone in Congress, were it not for mental health care.

Millions of Americans are rooting for you, Senator.
