Pittsburgh Police are telling a small group of protesters near Carnegie Melon to disperse. McCormick’s SUV just pulled up on his way out and then reversed to leave another way.

Deleted a post that I thought was Trump criticizing Fitzpatrick. He might have been but it was cryptic enough, I took It down.

To understand Philly's ongoing city worker strike, you have to go back to 1992, when DC 33 signed a contract with Mayor Ed Rendell that members curse to this day. "If you don’t know your history, you’re bound to repeat it, and I’ve been paying attention.” inquirer.com/politics/phila…

Pennsylvania’s Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick stands as the lone GOP holdout on ‘big, beautiful, bill’ vote. He joined Dems in voting against a vote to advance the bill late Wednesday. House is slated to start vote on final passage soon. inquirer.com/politics/natio…
