There has been a rush among centrists like Gavin Newsom and Ezra Klein to brush over the hateful life of Charlie Kirk and valorize the man. Let me be clear, killing Charlie Kirk was wrong and abhorrent. We must condemn murder without sanitizing a man who built his empire on hate. My latest piece.
BREAKING: A majority of Brazil’s Supreme Court panel has voted to convict ex-President Jair Bolsonaro for plotting to overturn the 2022 election

@repbrendanboyle.bsky.social @repdwightevans.bsky.social @scanlon.house.gov @fetterman.senate.gov As some of the MAGA Right may have finally been shaken by the scourge of Gun Violence - Now is the time for You to stand up and Act.
So if you would like to express your feelings about Governor Shapiro giving this honor to Charlie Kirk's memory, please call him at 717-787-2500. @indivisiblepa.bsky.social #IndivisiblePA @indivisible.org
For example: about women; about gun rights and the LGBTQ+ community. We do not believe we should give our highest honors to purveyors of hate speech who themselves advocated for violence. Especially on this solemn day of grief & remembrance for those lost on 9/11 & in the years following.(3/4)
grounds across the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to fly at half-staff as a mark of respect for the memory of Charlie Kirk.". Yes, you read that right, half staff for three days. Now we're giving one of our highest honors to a podcaster who delivered more hate speech than we can recount. (2/4)
We at Indivisible Philadelphia unreservedly condemn violence and especially political violence. However, on the eve of the 24th Anniversary 9/11, Josh Shapiro @Governor.pa.gov announced that "United States & Commonwealth flags on all Commonwealth facilities, public buildings, &… (1/4)

Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."
We are horrified to learn of the shooting of Charlie Kirk. Political violence has no place in democracy. The foundation of democracy rests on the principle that differences can be debated vigorously, but peacefully, without intimidation or acts of violence.
More of this.
You’re reading this right. The Jobs Report revised the number of Jobs ⬇️ by 900K. Let that sink in. Even DJT’s replacement at the Bureau can’t spin a number line that:

Last night at @benwaxman.bsky.social’s Emergency Town Hall on #SEPTA with @reptarikkhan.bsky.social, it was said that Main St. Manayunk is now cut off from transit due to recent service cuts. Bravo to House Dems for leveraging the situation for all Pennsylvanians statewide whyy.org/articles/sep...
GOP discontent with RFK Jr. is growing Bill Cassidy was joined by John Barrasso and Thom Tillis in confronting the health secretary about his leadership at a hearing.
Let’s be clear. This will raise costs. 95% of new power on the grid last year was clean energy. It essentially all came in below the grid price. Suppress it, and the grid must bring on even higher-priced units, raising costs for consumers. Trump-flation in action.
PA State Senators Picozzi (R-Philly), Farry (R-Bucks)& Pennycuick (R-Delco) and especially Maj Ldr Pittman - Stop screwing your constituents - many of whom rely on @septaphilly.bsky.social and GET BACK TO WORK to fully #FundTransit #IndivisiblePA @indivisiblepa.bsky.social

How comforting to the families who lost loved ones. DJT may have driven (or at least not stood in the way of) Operation Warp Speed to develop Covid vaccines (using mRNA tech) but then he botched the distribution and Americans paid the price.
"You're a charlatan. That's what you are." -- Cantwell to RFK Jr
Meanwhile, back in reality…
Barrasso: "Secretary Kennedy, in your confirmation hearings you promised to uphold the highest standards for vaccines. Since then I've grown deeply concerned. The public has seen measles outbreaks, leadership in the NIH questioning use of mRNA vaccines, the CDC director fired ... "
Epstein victims' lawyer: While we have seen the documents, you haven't. When you see the documents, you're going to be appalled. The American people deserve to see everything. Evil flourishes in the darkness. RELEASE ALL THE EPSTEIN FILES!
🚨BREAKING: Cleta Mitchell thinks President Donald Trump may declare a national emergency to allow him to take control of national elections. Her comments will add to growing concern that Trump is plotting a way to use his power over the military and federal law enforcement to rig next year’s vote.

…giving a 200M subsidy to horse racing in PA. Forget raising new revenue through taxes - simple find and eliminate 1 wasteful subsidy & you’ve solved 93.9% of the Problem. If Senators Farry or Picozzi represent you, call them and give them this specific suggestion and tell them to DO THEIR JOBS!
While 🦅 fans are certainly Appreciative of Fanduel for stepping in to help with Septa’s budget deficit (for this one game only) this is No way to run the 5th largest transit system in the nation. Nice which faces a 213M budget deficit while the same Republican Senators have no problem …
So our military just bombed a boat in international waters and extrajudicially killed suspected drug traffickers without so much as a conversation, let alone a trial? Then posted it on social media? And we’re all supposed to just trust their account?
One look at your account makes anyone with a brain doubt whether you’re even real, or just some AI Bot
That’s not the point and you know it. How does one struggle to get to a late bus? Surely Fewer Buses, subways that end at 9pm, and no regional rail (in 2026) - all that that costs more - is Not the answer either

"The same is true for NFL fans who won’t be able to find transportation after night games because of newly imposed curfews in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.”
“"When international guests at the World Cup are left stranded, they will tell their friends around the globe how backward Pennsylvania is," Pollitt added.
"But in many cases, the cause can be linked to Senate Majority Leader [Joe] Pittman and his irresponsible caucus members, and their dereliction of duty that has led to canceled bus routes, the elimination of bus stops, as well as buses, trollies and trains coming less frequently." He goes on to say
From the Head of Transport Worker's Union Local 234: “When an elderly man or woman collapses and dies trying to make it to a now distant bus stop, some will say it was natural causes," Pollitt said.

@benwaxman.bsky.social - let’s definitely mention this during tomorrow’s Town Hall!
NEW: The Supreme Court is being asked to decide if private citizens can still enforce the Voting Rights Act after a federal court ruled that only the government can sue to stop racist voting laws. If SCOTUS upholds the ruling, it could end the ability of voters to challenge anti-voting nationwide.

Every cut to SEPTA service is a broken promise to Pennsylvanians. Senate Republicans chose to delay, and now riders are paying the price. Bring us back to Harrisburg and let's pass a reasonable plan to fund mass transit.
Look no further, @padems.org are here!
ICE’s unchecked power has turned into lawless overreach—abductions by masked agents, denial of due process, secret police tactics. Democratic leaders can stop this, but only if we demand it: bit.ly/45Umbi3

Yo Pittman and Picozzi - where are the ‘Accountability Measures’ - that Picozzi is especially fond of - for those large firms you’ve given tax breaks to?
This is why my bill to require forensic audit of Doggie data mischief is so important. What if they left a back door into the Social Security data gold mine for Elon Musk or others to access? Until there’s an honest audit, they are not to be believed.
I dare you to go to Annunciation School and tell our grieving community, in effect, guns don’t kill kids, antidepressants do. Just shut up. Stop peddling bullshit. You should be fired.

Actually, John usually called it “a gas station run by gangsters, with an army.” Waiting to see how Trump bails out Putin as Ukraine piles up Russian casualties and blows up its oil and gas infrastructure. Gangster with no gas station can’t pay army.

Let’s honor these victims, and all victims of gun violence – with ACTION. We cannot leave gun crime out of plans to get tough and smart on crime, including updating our laws where necessary. Congress CAN act - and must act. These children should still be alive!
BREAKING: New reports indicate there’s a sense of panic in Republican Senate Majority Leader John Thune’s office as new polling shows Republican Senator Susan Collins is way behind her Democratic opponent. A blue wave is incoming. Let’s go.

Despite a provision in a 2024 federal appropriations bill giving members of congress the authority to make unannounced oversight visits, ICE officials refused U.S. Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon's (D-5th District) request to enter the facility. From @petehallpa.bsky.social
Today’s purge of CDC leadership was terrifying - even for those of us who know the risks we face every day: political interference, shootings, and constant pressure to compromise science. If you’re exhausted, scared, or torn between holding the line and walking away: you’re not weak. You’re human.
9/2!
The Silence of both today is Deafening and Informative - neither cares about human life

In 2022-after the shootings in Uvalde and Buffalo-President Joe Biden enacted the first gun safety legislation in almost 30 years Conversely-after Las Vegas-Donald Trump made promises, but backed down once he met with the NRA If we want to end school shootings, we must elect more Democrats
CHAOS ERUPTS AT CDC CDC Director Susan Monarez has been ousted after RFK Jr. demanded she change her policy on the COVID vaccine. Top officials from the Vaccine Unit, Zoonotic Division, and the Chief Medical Officer are resigning, per reports. Horrifying news for public health.
