Somewhere out there, in a quiet sunlit corner of the city, Ed Gainey opens up this page from the Tribune-Review's website, sips from a glass of fruit juice, sees a pigeon take flight outside the window, and smiles.

PA State Rep. Valerie Gaydos seems to think we're not strong enough as a nation to face our failures and learn from them. Apparently, Americans need to be coddled and only presented with positivity. That's just not how the world works, Representative. keystonenewsroom.com/2026/01/24/i...

The people are here and ready to take back power from this fascist regime — it starts with abolishing ICE. Solidarity with Minneapolis and the thousands abducted from our streets. We will fight for justice always ✊🏼

Pittsburgh showed up to say FUCK ICE, get out of our city, get out of Minneapolis, and stop terrorizing our communities. To corporations like Target, we see your capitulation and cooperation — we will not hesitate to shut you down.

NYTimes projecting a net shift of 14 points from 2024 with these variations between the counties Turnout in 2022 here was ~180k, tonight is going to come in at most marginally under (currently ~168k with a little left to count) that's a hell of an electorate to swing this much

Democrats have run Pennsylvania's supreme court since 2015, a streak that has proved consequential; the court has struck down a GOP gerrymander, upheld a state law allowing mail-in voting, and rejected Donald Trump's efforts to overturn his loss in 2020.

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.

Tomorrow, our unfair labor practice strike against @post-gazette.com marks it's third full year. Three years of fighting the most lawless union-busting campaign can be tiring, but we're never going to quit fighting. Last night, we were uplifted to see a new sign adorning the Pittsburgh skyline...

Three banners, two black with white text and one red with white text, that read POST-GAZETTE STRIKERS WILL WIN hang from a yellow bridge with the Pittsburgh skyline in the background.

Dems have spent too many cycles parachuting college kids into swing communities, ignoring the kids’ feedback, and burning them out into cynical husks. fund year round organizing, fund deep canvassing, take feedback and follow the message because it is THERE and it’s NOT ABANDONING OUR COMMUNITIES

This is such a no-brainer that the lack of a coordinated response feels deeply damning. A Democratic leadership team that can't mobilize an instant all-hands-on-deck effort on RFK Jr. isn't a leadership team at all.
