This Minneapolis resident just said what everyone should be feeling right now:
“This started as a pretext about immigration and fraud… it’s WELL beyond that now.
It’s your 2nd Amendment, your 4th Amendment, your 6th Amendment.”
“We’re performing CPR on what may already be a corpse called the Constitution.”
Wake up. This isn’t just Minneapolis. It’s ALL of us.
This sentiment from the First Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California is dangerous and wrong.
Responsible public voices should be awaiting a full investigation, not making generalizations and demonizing law-abiding citizens.
Our nation’s democratic system functioned last night and we have a new President-elect. All Americans are bound, whether we like the outcome or not, to accept the results of our elections. We now have a special responsibility, as citizens of the greatest nation on earth, to do everything we can to support and defend our Constitution, preserve the rule of law, and ensure that our institutions hold over these coming four years. Citizens across this country, our courts, members of the press and those serving in our federal, state and local governments must now be the guardrails of democracy.
It was great to be back in Pennsylvania today.
If this election is making you feel excited or scared or hopeful or frustrated or anything in between, don’t just sit back and hope for the best. Vote for @KamalaHarris and @Tim_Walz.
The California legislature is considering a bill to make striking workers eligible for unemployment benefits.
Striking workers currently aren't eligible for unemployment, despite being out of work.
John Fetterman has also introduced a bill in Congress to remedy this problem.
This is absolutely monstrous, inhumane policy.
Governor Abbott's troops have been told to push migrant children back into the Rio Grande to drown.

Our National Science Advisory Committee Member, Dr. Regis Haid talks about Chuck Noll setting a precedent around concussion testing. 🧠
“The Chuck Noll Foundation is focused on head trauma or concussion mainly in athletes, it’s not just the NFL. This is community based.”

Last year, Washington state enacted a wealth tax on capital gains profits of the richest .2%.
It was fought tooth and nail by billionaire-funded groups & passed by one vote.
In one year, it's raised $850 million for child care & school construction—triple what was expected. 🧵
For those claiming my book wasn’t banned, just “aged-up”—The Hill We Climb is an inaugural poem for the world. Relocating it to older age group library shelves by its nature bars younger and equally deserving generations from accessing said moment in history.
Dr. Grover and his team @CarnegieMellon worked on a project called, “Novel systems for concussion monitoring & treatment: automated detection and suppression of Brain Tsunamis.” They are a primary example of why early funding for innovative ideas have become our top priority. 🧠
Today, we took a huge step toward making Pennsylvania fairer for our LGBTQ+ residents. The Fairness Act was voted out of the Judiciary Committee and will head to the house floor for a vote.
Jury selection begins today in the worst antisemitic attack in US history at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Squirrel Hill.
The trial will reopen wounds & cause many to revisit trauma. We MUST stand with our Jewish community & hold them up. Hate has no home here in Pittsburgh!
