🎶 Like waiting for a bus that never shows, you just start walking on🎶 - transit users . 🎶 I’ve got my money on things going badly 🎶- students waiting for school funding . 🎶 I pay the price of what I lost and what it cost 🎶- counties waiting for human services $.
Probably makes me a bad Swiftie, but gotta admit that the proposal I was hoping to hear about today (or, ya know, months ago) was of the PA budget variety.

Today, voting begins for nearly 1,000 nurses at Magee Hospital, the largest nurse union effort in recent PA history. These workers deserve safe staffing, fair treatment & a seat at the table. We stand with @mageenursesunited against UPMC’s union-busting.

I was very concerned to hear about what happened. Keeping the workers and their families in my thoughts. Grateful for the quick response of emergency workers.
I’m closely monitoring the situation at U.S. Steel’s Clairton Coke Works following this morning’s explosion. Allegheny County Emergency Services is on site, and I am headed there now to meet with responders. (1/3).

186 days ago, @GovernorShapiro presented a non-starter budget that spent more than the revenues that came in. Governor Shapiro has since then taken to gaslighting and focusing on his 2028 presidential aspirations.
