After @GovernorShapiro fought back, a federal court REJECTED Donald Trump’s attempt to seize the personal, private information of 8 million Pennsylvania voters.

Here in Pennsylvania, we’re going to continue to protect our free, fair, safe, secure elections and stand up to the President’s attempts to undermine our democracy.

Let’s be clear: Donald Trump does not run elections in Pennsylvania — and he never will.

[Carter Walker @ByCarterWalker]

BREAKING: A federal judge has DISMISSED a case brought by the Trump Justice Department seeking access to Pennsylvania’s voter rolls, including voters’ sensitive information. Background story in next post.

ICYMI: Two weeks ago, PA Dems gathered in State College for our 2026 Summer State Committee Meeting, where we reelected @DePasqualePA as Chair and elected @JamilaHWinder as Vice Chair!

With eight straight months of voter registration gains and victories across the Commonwealth, we’re excited to see these two continue to build momentum and talk to voters in every corner of Pennsylvania! 💙

Angry voters Win.

[Pennsylvania Governor's Office @PAGovOffice]

WATCH: Gov Shapiro is *very* clear about what Trump’s chaos has caused:

"The vast majority of Pennsylvanians are hurting with higher costs because of the President's economies policies."

[PA SDCC @PaSDCC]

Gov. Shapiro said it best. Folks are ready for a change.

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

As Trump fixates on his vanity projects, @SenateDems are advancing our housing bill to address issues Americans actually care about.

Our ROAD to Housing bill is a strong start to putting us on the right track to fixing the housing shortage that's driving up costs in our country.

[FactPost @factpostnews]

Trump's DOJ is arguing that states should not be required to provide in-home or community-based care to Americans with disabilities, jeopardizing care for over 8.4 million Americans.

[Sy Snyder @PoliticsPA]

What a difference three months can make.

Pennsylvanians are pessimistic about President Donald Trump, the state of the economy, and his handling of the federal government in a survey of 546 registered Pennsylvania voters by the Center for Opinion Research @FandMCollege

[Noah 💫 @ntorok4]

Interesting to see that the model predicts that PA-01's Brian Fitzpatrick losing by 2.3 with 63% odds of him losing.
At the same time, it predicts that PA-08's Rob Bresnahan will lose by 0.6 with 54% odds of him losing.
In 2024, PA-01 was Harris +0.3 and PA-08 was Trump +8.6. Despite this, forecasters have rated Fitzpatrick's race much more conservatively:

[Josh Shapiro @JoshShapiroPA]

Congratulations to @DepasqualePA on his reelection as Chair and @JamilaHWinder on her election as Vice Chair of the @pademparty.

Eugene and Jamila are great leaders who care deeply about our Party, our Commonwealth and our future. I look forward to working with them as we elect Democrats up and down the ballot this November and beyond.

[Stephen Caruso @StephenJ_Caruso]

News: House Majority Leader Matt Bradford (D., Montgomery) said in an interview that he support this proposal. "These are the biggest, most profitable companies that are bringing data centers and all of the challenges to our commonwealth. 100% they should pay their fair share."

[J.J. Abbott @jjabbott]

After stopping Trump, the most important priority for Democrats in 2026 is getting trifectas in visible swing states to rebuild the brand by showing people that government can be a force for good when it’s not controlled by corrupt, cruel and incompetent Republicans like Trump

[Kunal Atit @KunalAtit]

.@Bobharvie_PA01 is the strongest Democrat Brian Fitzpatrick has ever faced and this is the weakest Fitzpatrick has ever been.

His brand has faded with votes like allowing the Iran war and the political environment is getting worse daily.

Brian is in big trouble and he knows it
