This would not be allowed in the suburbs! These schools are broken, toxic, rodent infested & unacceptable! We need emergency funding now to fix them! #FundOurFacilities

4 U.S. citizens were detained for nearly 24 hours during a militarized ICE raid in NYC’s Chinatown. This is exactly why the Federal Action Reporting Portal was launched to document these encounters. We must protect our communities from militarized fear.

Jessica Tarlov just said what no one in power will: “The government has killed 32 people in 7 strikes with no proof they were traffickers. The admiral leading the mission quit. If we had evidence, they’d face a court, not a drone.” Seven strikes. Thirty-two dead. Zero

This is my first time seeing the All-22 view of Nick Foles’ performance in Super Bowl 52. The second throw to Alshon Jeffery has me legitimately in disbelief — one of the best Super Bowl performances we’ve ever seen.

A 16-year-old Black student says he was held at gunpoint and handcuffed outside his Baltimore County school after AI wrongly flagged his bag of chips as a weapon. He could’ve been injured or lost his life over a false alert. This trauma should not be “protocol.”

Wow. Thousands of furloughed federal workers lined up in Maryland today to get food. Remember the last time we saw something like this? Yeah, Trump was president then, too.

Started my morning with some eggs, grits, and politics with @SenatorHughes in West Philly! On November 4, Pennsylvanians will vote in one of the most important statewide races in the country to determine the fate of Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court.

The truth is: Our healthcare system is an ecosystem. If one part of that system is cut, we all feel it. People over politics!

Philly, enough is enough. We can be both, tired of seeing trash around the city and dumping trash around the city. Illegal dumping isn’t just a bad look — it’s a crime. We’re expanding existing laws around a longstanding issue: $2K–$5K fines per item. $5K per tire. And yes,

It’s time to put people over politics. @SenatorHughes is standing up for the healthcare and lower costs for all Pennsylvanians.

The most corrupt administration in generations. Trump’s conflicts of interest and grifting off his offices is astounding, and deeply violative of our constitution and shared values.

My conversation with @SenatorHughes saw him attack Senate Republicans for not moving forward on a budget proposal and instead passing a bill to declare a new Pennsylvania state fossil. @fox43

Album of the day. The blazing success of Parliament's 1975 Afrofuturist funk masterpiece, Mothership Connection was so huge that for anyone else, it would've been a tough act to follow. George Clinton and his crew showed no signs of slowing down and delivered the goods with this

Are you telling me we can spend $40B on Argentina, $1B on Trump’s Qatar jet, $250M on Trump’s ballroom, $150M on Trump’s golf, $520M on Trump's National Guard deployments & $172M on Kristi Noem’s jets - but we can’t spend a penny on lowering our healthcare premiums. Oh, hell no.
