If the Pennsylvania GOP manages to oust Democratic justices this year, they wouldn’t just take over the seats. But it’d give them a new, clear path to flipping the court in 2027, ahead of the next presidential race.
Inside the Clunky Elections to Control Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court
The GOP is making an expensive push to end Democrats’ majority on a court at the center of election lawsuits, sparking a fledging campaign season with little precedent or template.

REPORTER: We know the president moved forward with mass layoffs. We're also learning there were significant cuts to staff at special education services. Are you comfortable with those cuts?

Quick question: If the Republicans are right, and someone is paying millions and millions of us to protest, and has done it hundreds of other times, and they STILL can't figure out who's funding us, aren't they way too stupid to hold office?

Special education isn't a "nice thing to have." It isn't "charity" or doing something to make us feel better. It is a right. The right to a Free Appropriate Public Education is codified in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, signed by a Republican president.

The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session.

Want to know why?

Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out.

Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

three separate federal court judges intervened in Chicago to block unconstitutional, abusive, and violent practices Trump has used to intimidate Americans. Not one judge bought the government lawyers’ misrepresentations and specious arguments for Trump’s unlimited power.

Trump and chief attack dog Stephen Miller bit off more than they can chew. Their cities based on obvious lies has antagonized voters, outraged judges, and triggered public opposition from two GOP governors—a rare act of defiance that may trigger more defections. open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

New in PN: Republicans are totally full of it on healthcare.

It becomes more obvious every time they talk about it. And it's a big reason the shutdown is turning out to be such a disaster for them.

Now in week 3 of the Republican engineered shutdown and @SpeakerJohnson is leading this by keeping his members home on a paid vacation while government workers are not paid. They started this and they can end this by putting the interests of Americans first and ahead of Trump.
