Our deepest condolences to all who knew and loved Officer Seiber.
I’ve spoken with Mayor Devlin and offered my Administration’s full support following the tragic mass shooting in Erie last night — killing nine of our fellow Pennsylvanians. My heart breaks for this family. Lori and I are praying for their loved ones and the entire Erie community.
Our deep condolences to Officer Seiber's loved ones www.inquirer.com/news/philade...

"Labor law currently...is working for the billionaire and the oligarch class and not for regular workers," said NewsGuild president @jschleuss.com on the @ricksmithshow.bsky.social.
"We have to reform but it's only going to happen if we all stand up together."
Why have so many people fallen behind? It's not because of immigrants, trans people, or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP. It's because corporations and billionaires rigged the system in their favor — and a bought-off political establishment let it happen. It's time to fix the system.
"This isn't just about a paid leave. It's about valuing our educators as people and not just as employees."
We're proud to have negotiated paid parental & adoption leave so that members like Janet won't lose pay or sick leave after her family welcomes their third child!
Fun fact: In 2020, Jeff Yass' main targets for donations were two Congressional candidates who supported Trump's coup before they were even sworn in: Lauren Boebert and Madison Cawthorn. Boebert was a Stop the Steal speaker twice in December. Cawthorn spoke at Trump's rally on Jan 6.

“It was a dramatic failure. We thought we had it.” 😂
Pennsylvania has defeated billionaires like Yass before. This November, solidarity among working people will hand the anti-public ed, anti-democracy billionaire class another major L ✊🏽 www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Billionaires like Jeff Yass want to destroy public education and democracy because those two pillars of a free and just society go hand in hand. What big tech billionaires are doing in collaboration with ICE is totally at odds with a free and peaceful democracy. It’s just plain EVIL.
Americans are exhausted, sick of navigating their way through rising grocery and gas prices. Voters elected leaders to offer effective solutions, and those voters need those promises delivered. apnews.com/article/trum...
ICE has detained more than 500 U.S. citizens.
