Trump and the GOP were always lying to you when they said other countries pay the tariffs. Now they are proving it by giving a $2.2 billion tariff refund to Apple, $600 million to Amazon, and billions more to other companies. (1/2)

Had a great time in Monroe County meeting the fired up @monroepadems.bsky.social and talking to voters with Brian Wrightson. This team knows what’s at stake and they are working hard to elect Dems like Brian who are fighting to restore the American Dream!

Beyond helping make The Sopranos the greatest show in history and his career in film and television, Vincent was a Navy veteran who served our country during Vietnam. A terrible loss of a proud Italian American. Fair winds and following seas, Shipmate.

Vincent Pastore appeared in movies dating back to the 1980s and had roles in big movies including "Goodfellas" and "Awakenings," both in 1990. n.pr/4fzrl9t

A CEO cutting healthcare for workers fighting for a fair deal is some pretty nasty stuff. But those Mount Nittany Hospital workers gave as good as they got this week and showed everyone what it means to stand up and stand together against powerful interests.

Stopped by State College today to walk the picket line of Mount Nittany Hospital workers fighting for their pay, their safety, and their patients. It’s inspiring to see these union workers coming together for each other and their community. Solidarity forever 🇺🇸💪

In Pittsburgh, I met with Rep. @chris4pa.bsky.social and joined a roundtable discussion with USW workers on how we can increase union density by demanding labor neutrality from federal contractors and grant recipients.

My good friend @rokhanna.bsky.social stopped by Western PA. So we introduced him to the hardest working nurses, students, union members, organizers, and democratic leaders in the country. I’ll always be proud to be from here and show off #PA17 🇺🇸

61 years ago Lyndon B. Johnson signed Medicare and Medicaid into law, guaranteeing healthcare for seniors and families who couldn’t get it anywhere else. Today, Trump and the GOP want to gut these life-saving programs.

Every other President this millennium was smart enough not to go along with Netanyahu's reckless war aims in Iran. Trump was the only one dumb enough to fall for it. Now we are all paying the price.

Ah yes, the classic “making your life more expensive” strategy from Trump and the Republicans.

BREAKING WSJ: The Trump admin plans to end a subsidy program that helped hold down premiums for Medicare drug plans — a move that could leave many seniors facing higher rates for their prescription coverage next year.

My oath, and the oath of everyone who served in uniform, is to the Constitution. I'll never be intimidated by Trump or his cronies to break that oath. Don't Give Up The Ship!

One week until the MLB trade deadline. The Pirates need to improve the bullpen - but I’ll hear no talk of trading Skenes!

100 days until Election Day. 100 days til we throw the GOP out of power in Congress. There’s a lot to do between now and November 3. If you want to fight for working people in Pennsylvania, to end corruption in Washington, and to rebuild the American Dream, join our team. Don’t Give Up the Ship!

Beautiful morning for solidarity in downtown Pittsburgh ✊ Proud to stand alongside @32bjseiu.bsky.social to fight for union janitors fired by PMC property management.

Even the CEOs who helped us beat the fascists in WWII would be rolling in their graves seeing what some of today’s CEOs are doing to American workers.

John Fetterman is raising money for Republicans, and when he’s not doing that, he’s on Fox News crapping all over Democrats and cheerleading Trump’s Iran War. That’s probably why none of the PA Democrats in tough races I’m out here supporting want him in their district www.notus.org/congress/fet...

Fetterman's Ultimatum Is Giving Some Democrats Anxiety He’ll Switch Parties

The Pennsylvania Democrat warns he will leave the party if it officially changes its platform regarding its stance toward Israel.

Which side looks like it’s ready to win in November? The sad Beaver County GOP struggling to rally for MAGA yes-men… Or a fired up @bcdemparty.bsky.social rally in the same spot saying no to kings and let’s fight for the American Dream?

Trump’s mass deportation regime remains out of control, with ICE agents ripping away our neighbors’ liberties and lives. This is not what the American people want, and it’s why I voted NO to plowing billions more into ICE.

Helping the Republicans raise money to spend against Democrats is bad, right? www.thecentersquare.com/pennsylvania...

Fetterman and McCormick campaigns team up for joint fundraising committee

(The Center Square) – U.S. Sens. John Fetterman and Dave McCormick may be on opposite sides of the aisle, but their campaigns have teamed up to create a joint fundraising

Just opposing Donald Trump is not enough. Democrats need to seize this moment and be crystal clear in how we will restore the American Dream…and who we’ll fight to do it.

When it comes to youth sports, we do not have to accept only corporate profits mattering. There’s a public interest at stake with our kids and deciding, as a society, that sports should not be a luxury item for kids.

Going to a ball game shouldn’t be a rip off. Billionaire owners use public money to build their stadiums, and then fleece people from the ticket line to the concession stand. I have a bill to do something about it.

Youth sports are way too expensive today. Why? Because private equity decided to capitalize on our kids’ playing time for profit. Congress needs to pass my Let Kids Play Act now and get these BS vulture schemes away from our kids sports.

Thanks to everyone in Midland and Leetsdale who turned out to celebrate Independence Day together. We beat the heat! Wishing everyone across #PA17 a happy Fourth of July 🇺🇸

This is what we mean when we say the American Dream has been ripped away. None of these should be luxury items. But under Donald Trump’s economy, they are becoming that.

43% of Americans say they're worse off financially than a year ago. 66% say Trump's high prices have impacted their summer plans, & nearly 50% aren't taking a summer vacation at all. In Trump's economy, the only thing as American as apple pie is the price hike.

Happy Birthday, America! Loving America is why we strive for our country do better. I hope everyone has a great weekend celebrating our Independence🇺🇸

One of my all-time favorite Americans. Harry Truman knew ball. And he knew exactly how to deal with right-wing pearl clutching from the economic royalists.

The President of the United States is refusing to sign a bill to make housing cheaper because he wants to make it harder for you to vote. That’s what is happening right now.

1.4 billion reasons to investigate this admin’s corruption.

In its ruling today to scrap the limits on political party spending, the court is deepening the rot of money in our politics.
