There's a shred of truth to what he's saying, at least insofar as Ds being primarily responsible for plummeting consumer confidence. But even Rs are wobbling now.

Partisan gerrymandering should be unconstitutional in every state. It's pure Soviet politics, allowing the people in power to rig the system to ensure they stay in power.

What's particularly disgusting is what is happening in Florida, where voters overwhelmingly voted to make partisan gerrymandering unconstitutional, and then Ron DeSantis and Florida Republicans decided to explicitly ignore the will of voters and pass an unconstitutional bill, counting on the GOP-packed state Supreme Court to bail them out. It's vile behavior.

Hard to think of a more banner Pittsburgh sports week. Home stand for the 1st-place Pirates, Pens home series against our hated cross-Commonwealth rivals, and the NFL Draft on the North Shore. What a great time to be alive.
