6 years and 60+ failed lawsuits later, Trump is revisiting false claims because he is desperate. He knows that the Republican Party will lose the midterms. By trying to rewrite 2020, he’s trying to discredit 2026 before votes are cast and ballots are counted.
🚨BREAKING: President Donald Trump used a primetime address Thursday to resurrect debunked claims about the 2020 election, allege sweeping foreign interference and pressure Congress to pass the anti-voting SAVE America Act. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Trump’s declassification move isn’t election accountability, it’s a political stunt. Trying to find evidence to support your conspiracy theory doesn’t make you look legitimate. It makes you look desperate.
We’re proud of our communities for coming together to grieve and continuing to fight for justice. www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/v...

BREAKING: Mayor Parker’s celebrating a $100M increase in revenue from business taxes. But what she isn’t mentioning is that these funds aren’t coming from taxes on Amazon, Uber, and other wealthy corporations, they’re coming out of the pockets of small business owners. billypenn.com/2026/07/13/b...

BREAKING: The Supreme Court upholds birthright citizenship, rejecting Trump’s proposed limits.
In odd-numbered election years, many PA voters don't vote their entire ballot (called "roll-off"). But thanks to OnePA.org, @maketheroadpa.bsky.social, @apipennsylvania.bsky.social, and other @paworkingfamilies.bsky.social orgs, roll-off went down from 30% to 2%. convergencemag.com/articles/how...

This Tax Day, gig workers and small business owners are facing an unexpected tax that is costing them thousands while wealthy corporations skip out on paying their fair share. People want their taxes to go towards things that matter, like schools & libraries, but they also want to be taxed sensibly.
Philadelphia leaders boosted taxes on 75,000 small-business owners - vendors, gig workers, and liberal professionals, some of whom feel neglected, taken for granted, even betrayed, and are organizing to roll back the levy. My story: www.inquirer.com/business/bir...
On Sunday, March 15, 2026, @apipennsylvania.bsky.social held a town hall for Democratic candidates running for U.S. House in PA-10.

After being wrongfully imprisoned for 40 years, Subu Vedam was exonerated last year only to be seized by ICE as he was about to leave prison. Today, a judge ruled to block ICE’s attempts to deport him from the only country he has ever called home. www.centredaily.com/news/local/c...
Subu Vedam has deportation order vacated. ‘An exceptional situation’
The ruling doesn’t end the State College man’s legal battle, but did fundamentally change his status.

Hey Philly - join us on 2/12 to talk about the issues shaping our lives right now. Find out how you can protect immigrant communities, make the wealthy pay their fair share, and be a part of our endorsement process to decide who we support in elections. RSVP: secure.ngpvan.com/jN2SOD4tv0-o...
All of our elected officials should be standing up for their constituents and asking ICE for explanations for what they've been doing to our communities.
SCOOP from me and Chrissy Suttles: Rep. Chris Deluzio is pressing ICE for answers after federal agents detained an Oakmont immigrant whose family and local leaders say had legal U.S. status. www.axios.com/local/pittsb...
The problem isn’t rhetoric. The problem is state violence against immigrants. Governor Shapiro should focus on stopping ICE’s harm, demanding accountability, and protecting our families - not scrambling to defend an agency that is terrorizing our communities.
The Senate has not voted yet to increase funding for ICE - we can stop giving them money to terrorize our communities! Tell your Senators no more money for ICE! Call Senator Fetterman: (202) 224-4254 Call Senator McCormick: (202) 224-6324
🚨URGENT: The House will vote as soon as TOMORROW on increasing funding for ICE & CBP. More funding with no accountability is essentially an invitation for these agencies to keep violating our rights. We have to stop this. Tell your reps to vote NO on more funding: act.nilc.org/page/93101/a...

Sikh immigrants help keep this country running through long-haul trucking, doing essential work that everyone depends on. Now, the Trump administration is using fear and scapegoating to attack immigrant workers instead of fixing systemic problems. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/21/b...

Our neighbors are being kidnapped by ICE while cooperating with the immigration system, leaving communities reeling. Organizations like Gapura and AAU are supporting families, but when trust is broken, it's hard to heal. We need a system that centers compassion and humanity, not fear and violence.
