I'm very saddened to report that my incredible former colleague Dave Forstate passed away this morning after a bout with pancreatic cancer. Dave was an incredible photojournalist at @KDKA and @wqed and will be deeply missed. Rest in peace, my friend.
The Trump war gas "tax" keeps rising and rising. It's now $4.39 a gallon in my neighborhood. Isn't this the president who said no more foreign wars AND lower gasoline prices?
As we enter holy week leading to Easter and tonight begin Passover, my great-grandmother's Christmas cactus is suddenly blooming again! Must be telling us something!
BREAKING: House GOP leaders reject the bipartisan Senate compromise to fund TSA and end the long lines at the airport. Speaker Mike Johnson says with Trump's support he will not allow a House vote on the Senate compromise.
As someone who's walked that street/alley a gazillion times, I appreciate @MartyGriffinKD calling attention to this. The 1st Mayor O'Connor was very clear about "redding up" Downtown. Hope we will see major changes under current Mayor @CoreyOConnorPA. Pgh should be safe for all!
Turtle Creek mayor @AdamForgieForPA is running against @RepSummerLee in the May Democratic primary, saying he is the more centrist candidate. Yesterday he says a pic of him with the American flag was photoshopped into a Nazi salute flyer posted on telephone polls.
Without an independent investigation into what happened, this remains a very troubling conclusion to the killing of Renee Good by Jonathan Ross. He seems to have had malice against these protesters perhaps created by a prior experience months ago. We need unbiased fact-finding!
Renee Goodโs last words were to ICE agent Jonathan Ross: โThatโs fine, dude. Iโm not mad at you.โ Then Ross shot Renee three times in the face. As she was dying, his last words to her were: โFucking bitch.โ And JD Vance thought that exchange exonerated ICE. That says it all.
Everyone has an opinion, so here's mine on the demise of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Feel free to share yours!

It took nearly 45 minutes of speeches to get to the main act. Lt Gov @AustinDavisPA is finally getting to talk and is expected to introduce Gov. @JoshShapiroPA shortly.
