"Kirk's Alleged Shooter is a White Man From A Conservative Family. So, Not a Transgender Leftist Activist."
Republicans owe the transgender community, & the rest of us, an apology for trying to incite their base to commit violence against "the left."

Without due process, we are all undocumented.
"I want people to be safe and protected. I want to live on the right side of history. I am an immigrant. My parents are refugees from Chile. We fled a dictatorship and I was privileged enough to grow up in the United States after asylum in Denmark. I stand by those protections, always."

No matter what this Administration tells the American people, the law is very clear: Members of Congress have a legal right to enter any DHS detention facility to conduct oversight without prior notice - something I’ve done twice this year without issue.

"In public meetings, O’Connor seemed to stay in the back glad-handing folks, rarely speaking up and never solidly siding with the neighborhood. By contrast, Gainey walked our streets, listened and made terminating the MOC a campaign promise — that he fulfilled."

I worked on product development engineering projects for 30+ years. You need to do root cause analysis to solve problems thoroughly. Under Mayor Gainey, Pittsburgh has been doing that.
One pilot project to improve worker safety also saved $10M!

Let’s talk about Paid Sick Leave here in Pittsburgh. This act would not have been possible without the hundreds of workers, both union and non-union coming together to demand that everyone in Pittsburgh have the right to paid leave at work. No one person was responsible for it. It was all of us.

CommUnity. In 3 years we've made incredible progress building a Pittsburgh for all.
We've invested in our children, delivered $600M for downtown, reduced gun violence by 44%, built/preserved more affordable housing than any administration in 20 years, and have the lowest unemployment rate in SWPA.
