The FCC just voted to restore net neutrality. If you have no idea what that means, John Oliver broke it down 10 years ago.

More here from our former Appeal colleague @JoshuaPVaughn, who has done more reporting on this issue in Pennsylvania than anyone else!
Investigative reporter @JoshuaPVaughn from @PennLive says that there are laws on the books about properly reporting the number of deaths in custody, however, they either have no enforcement mechanism or there fundamentally appears to be no desire to enforce the law #SenDemPolicy

Pepsi replaced its 32oz Gatorade bottle with a 28oz for the same price. Nabisco shrunk the family size box of Wheat Thins by 12%. General Mills shrunk the family size box of Cocoa Puffs by 6%. Frito-Lay shrunk the size of a bag of Doritos by 5%. Shrinkflation is everywhere.

Super Bowl staples like chips, dip, & soda cost more this year. Companies were forced to charge more because of inflation, right? Well, giant snack-maker PepsiCo, hiked prices by double digits for several quarters in a row and boosted its profits. Two words: Price gouging.

The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.

A TX man slipped abortion pills to his wife &severely damaged the fetus. He got sentenced to 180 DAYS & got to keep his law license. If she had taken the abortion pills voluntarily, she would have been charged with MURDER. This is about controlling women.

Wow!
WOW! Chris Wallace goes all out and criticizes his former co-worker Tucker Carlson. He says that calling Carlson a useful idiot āis unfair to useful idiots". He then goes on to show a clip from when he, himself, interviewed Putin and asked him why so many people wind up dead

A Pennsylvania chapter of Moms for Liberty dwindled from 200 members to three, and decided to disband. No one stepped up to take over. https://t.co/O8RlXWXRg6

Great news air-breathers: the Biden Administration finalized new limits on soot pollution that will save live and let kids with asthma breath easier. Like @SenatorHaywood and @RepRabb, I'm thrilled about the news. Hear what others think: https://t.co/YyRybS61Xe

āThe EPAās new standard can facilitate that by bringing about cleaner air, which will save an estimated 4,500 lives and avoid over 700,000 asthma attacks every year!ā - @RepRabb #ActOnSoot

Maybe you thought US learned its lesson about ramming highways thru cities. Maybe you thought we were starting to get serious about climate change. Then you havenāt looked at PennDotās study for rebuilding I-95 in Philly. I did & hereās my column:
inquirer.com
The Biden administration promised to make urban highways less intrusive. So why is I-95 about to expand in South Philly?

Give āem hell, Congresswoman!
I was just kicked out of a House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee hearing on Cuba policy because the Republican Chair didnāt like my views. Iād share the livestream, but Republicans cut out the sound when I stood up to defend myself & call them out.

PA is #4 on this list borne of #structuralinequality. Remaining on this infamous list is both a policy choice & a political choice. Neither is acceptable. The best & fastest way to dissolve this list? Make our richest citizens pay their fair share! #FairShareTaxPlan

My #fairsharetaxplan bill would increase PA #tax revenues by over $6 billion per year by simply making the rich pay their fair share ā while 85% of #taxpayers would pay no more in #taxes or even LESS than what theyāve paid in prior years. #taxpolicy
Massachusetts taxed the rich. Now they have an extra $1.5 billion to spend. In November, 2022 voters approved a 4% tax on incomes over $1 million. The state can now use that money on free public school meals, free community college, and public transit. https://t.co/zdccWAgJeK
