Notable: The entire PA Democratic delegation voted to cut aid to Israel. Except one: Brendan Boyle, who represents parts of Philly, a very blue area. Boyle is a rumored candidate for Fetterman's seat in 2028. Boyle, AIPAC-endorsed, has paid AIPAC for rental space in the past.

We're proud to endorse Bob Brooks for Congress in PA-07. Bob spent 20 years as a firefighter & now serves as president of his union. Bob is the perfect example of a person we should be sending to D.C. because it’s time to elect real working-class leadership to Congress.

We supported John Fetterman in 2022. Since then, he's sold us out. It's time to replace him and elect real leadership.

There was some progressive energy in Jersey City not just around the mayor's race, but some city council races. And the Working Families Party endorsed a slate of five city council candidates — two of which won in November, and the other 3 (Denise Ridley, Joel Brooks, Jake Ephros) won today.

"Reasonable guy"
Millions could go without health care coverage in 2026. Here's why.

Millions of Americans will need to decide between paying skyrocketing health care premiums or going without coverage in 2026 if Congress doesn't act.

hello! if you click the link, you’ll see that we’re using this as an opportunity to recruit candidates & volunteers for races up to and including the ‘28 senate primary, many of which will be critical in next year’s midterms. You can read more on the strategy here: wfpus.org/fetterman

We're primarying John Fetterman. Last week, Fetterman again sold out working Pennsylvanians. He was the deciding vote for a Republican budget bill that will strip healthcare from over 400,000 Pennsylvanians. We deserve real working class leadership in the Senate, not a Trump-enabling Democrat.

Last month, Mayor Cherelle Parker's city budget gave tax cuts to the wealthiest corporations in Philly. Now, she claims there's no money left for striking city workers to make a living wage. Text DC33 to 30403 to contact the Mayor's office & tell her to give AFSCME DC 33 workers a fair contract.

Thanks to the advocacy of @kendraphlcouncil.bsky.social, @domesticworkers.bsky.social, and so many other councilmembers, leaders, and partners, the POWER Act is now PASSED. This will expand protections for over 750k workers & make Philly one of the most pro-worker cities in the country.

O’Connor is the one who made this a campaign issue when *HE* challenged Mayor Gainey to “take a walk” & look at Pitt’s 1,600 units of housing. the mayor took him up on it & planned a whole tour, and now O’Connor is ducking it. too scared to be shown up! 🐔 😭

wow, new bombshell reporting from @lukewgoldstein.bsky.social reveals: - in 2023, Corey O'Connor strongly supported Ed Gainey's legal challenges to UPMC's property tax exemptions. - in 2025, O'Connor's mayoral campaign received $25k from the UPMC Board. - he now opposes the legal challenges. 🤔

Pittsburgh Mayor Ed Gainey has stood up to Trump and Musk at every turn. He’s also one of the progressive mayors in the country. Republicans know they can’t beat him in November. So now MAGA Republicans are pouring money into a May Democratic primary challenge to Gainey. Here’s the inside story:

i feel like the Pitt mayoral campaign is going to make me overuse the "oh my god, he admit it" meme, but wow. Walnut Capital thinks that donating $13k to Corey O'Connor will give them more access to the mayor's office? & they're just straight up admitting that? www.publicsource.org/pittsburgh-m...

Anyway, barring some miracle, it seems increasingly likely that a sizeable minority of Senate Dems are about to join with the entire Senate GOP to greenlight a law that will hand Ken Paxton and any random federal judge more power over immigration than any state or judge has ever had in US history.
