Government is supposed to be a powerful force for good, especially during times of crisis. That’s why it’s infuriating that @SenateMajLdr McConnell isn't working on a 4th package now. Here’s some of the things the Senate could do to fight this public health & economic emergency:

.Weijia Jiang asking Pres Trump what Jared Kushner meant when he said the national stockpile was "our" stockpile. Trump calls the reasonable Q "nasty" & says: "We need it for the federal govt...to keep for our country...because the federal govt needs it too not just the states."

I’d love to see data on backlogged tests regionally. E.g., Friend’s college-aged son got tested in Clarion 11 days ago & is still waiting. How widespread is this delay locally?

What Black Pittsburgh Needs to Know About Covid-19: Virtual Townhall Friday 4/3 @ 3pm at 1Hood Media on Facebook Live instagram.com/p/B-izRD2F1_H/…

What a time...

Yes my friends this is a very tough time, but we will get through this together. Thankyou to everyone who helped out today from our Allegheny-Fayette Central Labor Council family. Members from PENNSYLVANIA LABORERS' TRAINING CENTER United Steelworkers Union Pittsburgh Fire Fighters EASRCC AFSCME PA AFL-CIO SEIU Bricklayers & Allied Craftworkers Union to name a few

This is unacceptable on every level. Mayor Peduto: who the hell governs here??? “Tone deaf” doesn’t begin to describe this. This represents a deep & insidious failure to understand American history & America’s calls for action in the present. PITTSBURGH: DO BETTER!!!

Here’s what tyranny looks like (if it wasn’t already plainly obvious):

The graphics in this article are excellent— this is a huge part of communications that has been missing. If you want to understand how layered interventions reduce #covid19 spread— why masks are indispensable but not always “enough” — read this. english.elpais.com/society/2020-1…

No matter how this turns out, to hell with the electoral college.

There can be no revisionist history on why we don’t know who won Pennsylvania right now. Harrisburg Republican leaders blocked pre-canvassing to try to count less votes. We need to be patient thanks to them and count every vote.

REMINDER—Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin election officials were not allowed to begin processing absentee ballots until on or just before Election Day, after Republican-led state legislatures opposed changing laws to allow earlier preparations like other states.

Is there an update on roughly how many of the statewide ballots outstanding are from Philadephia Co? Thx:-))

Hear hear!

Really worth a watch and kudos to Rachel Maddow for sharing. Plus that was a seamless IFB rewire there.

Definitely on message

Sending love to the people of Tulsa as they commemorate the Massacre of 100 years ago. While we won't be together tomorrow, I look forward to visiting with you in the near future, and, most importantly, to a true reckoning and reparations for the survivors and their descendants.

Thank you Allegheny County Council for joining Pittsburgh City Council to hold Sheraton Sheraton Pittsburgh accountable. This resolution was UNANIMOUS & BIPARTISAN, proving that when it comes to protecting our workers, residents and visitors, politics should never get in the way.
