Republicans are risking a shutdown to take away healthcare from millions while distracting from scandals like the Epstein Files. Their priority is protecting the rich, not solving problems. Democrats are fighting back because families deserve leaders focused on stability.

The difference is clear.

The PA Supreme Court rules fairly and for Pennsylvanians.

The US Supreme Court is nominated by politicians to serve them and their billionaire donors.

Fred Korematsu reminds us: silence only helps the oppressors. When something is wrong, speak up. Our voices are our power and we refuse to let billionaires, MAGA politicians, or authoritarians take that away.

ALERT: Billionaire-backed PACs caught using “brazen” false ads about the Democratic justices up for retention in PA.

The truth: PA’s current Supreme Court has protected our votes, abortion rights, and people.

PA voters can protect our freedoms and courts by voting yes.

Trump and MAGA Republicans are backtracking on our investments in clean energy, but Allegheny public schools are leading the way as we try to put climate change in the rearview mirror.

Headline for online article from WESA reading "Allegheny County schools lead the state in potential for solar energy generation, advocates report." Below is an image of solar panels in a large field.

Republican health care cuts could cost Pennsylvania taxpayers $1 billion just to maintain current coverage levels. That's one expensive headache.
