While the US Supreme Court rolls back Voting Rights Act protections, the PA legislature could make protections stronger, for ALL PA communities.

As of today, June 11, # of bills enacted in PA in 2026 is still stuck at 17.
Senate has 1 committee meeting scheduled for next week. House has 9.
House passed a budget bill in April.
Senate? Crickets. 🦗🦗🦗
@SenatorPittman: who matters most to @PASenateGOP: voters or donors? 🤔
PA legislature is back in session today.
How many bills have been enacted in 2026?

﹟1/2 Compare PA legislative action with that of neighbor states. As of end of day June 5, all had recessed for the year.
It's almost as if decades of extreme gerrymandering left a legacy of extreme legislative dysfunction.

PA is on every short list of "top redistricting targets" as national entities look for ways to rig future district maps to gain control of Congress. Expect deep pocket national entities pouring money in PA House & Senate races in ways that hurt all PA.

No one earns a billion dollars. Billionaires exist because millions of workers are paid far less than the value they create. Nobody works a billion times harder than a nurse, a farmer, or a teacher. Stop glorifying wealth hoarders. They’re just professional wage thieves.

FYI: Social Security has been funded by American workers for 90 years.
Every paycheck.
Every job.
Every decade.
Congress has borrowed $2.9 trillion from the Trust Fund.
None of them asked permission.
You saved it.
They spent it.
Now they’re asking you to accept less.

Trump officials think they’re hurting the reputation of the Biden administration, by cancelling & changing the Climate Smart program, but what they’re actually doing is hurting farmers & ranchers.

SCOTUS made clear federal guardrails are gone.
Stronger state guardrails are essential.
PA voters are waiting.
Time is running out for action on HB 31 & SB 131. @RepBradford @RepHillEvans @RepMcClinton

At a time when political polarization dominates headlines, nearly 600 nonprofit, philanthropic, and community leaders gathered to tackle a different question: How do we bring Americans back together?

PA could validate our founders & be a beacon of hope against petty despots of all kinds. 🗽
Or we can refuse reform, double down on the leader-driven stranglehold, & join other once great states racing toward the bottom. 🤔
#Gerrymandering is only gonna get worse by 2028.
"For Americans fed up with partisan redistricting, there’s bad news on the horizon: The gerrymandering war is just heating up."

Independent redistricting commissions.
Policy stances aside, at the end of the day, isn't it kind of common sense?

“They treat Iowa land like it’s a commodity instead of our inheritance.”
“They treat us like numbers, not neighbors.”
Republican nominee for governor, Zach Lahn, says investors are buying up Iowa farmland and pricing the next generation of farmers out of the market.
“Our young people are leaving faster than 46 other states because they don’t see enough opportunity here.”
“Wall Street hedge funds and foreign interests are buying and selling our land.”
“Driving up costs so our kids are priced out of the market.”

Some PA schools have everything they need. Most don’t. PA is 45th in the country for state contribution to public ed. Our own rural legislators don’t seem to care. Maybe because top @PAGOP donor is a billionaire with no interest in rural PA schools?

🚨 Pennsylvania Kids Are Falling Behind, And Harrisburg Keeps Spending More 🚨
Pennsylvania taxpayers are pouring billions into the education system, yet too many students still can’t read at grade level.
More money. More bureaucracy. More excuses. But where are the results for students and parents?
Families are tired of being told to accept failure while the Shapiro administration protects the status quo.
Pennsylvania students deserve schools focused on achievement, not systems that keep demanding more taxpayer money while basic reading proficiency continues to suffer.
