Genuinely frightening story out of Harrisburg. I don’t know anything more than the release below. I’m beyond grateful that the Governor, family and staff are unharmed. Also exceptionally grateful for first responders and governors security team.

Governor Josh Shapiro@governor.pa.gov · last yr.

Last night at about 2AM, my family and I woke up to bangs on the door from the Pennsylvania State Police after an arsonist set fire to the Governor’s Residence in Harrisburg.

"What can I do?" If I had a nickel for every time someone asked me what they could do - or how they could fight back against Trump and his allies - I'd be able to afford his tariffs. In an op-ed in the Morning Call, I tried to answer that question. www.mcall.com/2025/04/02/o...

Hello from the gym, where the arc next to me has a television currently tuned to “Top 10 ancient alien disasters.” On the History Channel. Just in case you were wondering why America’s IQ seems to be collectively declining.

Food for thought: Vandalizing Tesla dealerships is bad. Vandalizing the United States Capitol and trying to stop the transfer of power is also bad. If you are more upset with the former than the latter, I’d argue you maaaay not care that much about violence as you pretend to.

Gonna make a suggestion for progressives who read the story and gloat. While the schadenfreude may be your first reaction - suppress it. Dunking on people like this is not only indecent, it’s self destructive. We want to help her. And we will want the votes of people like her.

Hello from the PA House of Representatives, where @GovernorShapiro is giving his Budget Address. It calls for robust investments in public services and smart tax cuts. Worth noting: An elevated platform makes @LGAustinDavis look like he has 19 feet tall. Towers over the Gov.

Hello from a breakfast with the @PAChamber - members of leadership and new members there. Senator Wayne Langerholc - Republican Whip - with solid advice to Freshman: You are a placeholder. Stay humble. Very, very true!

Now attending meetings, but was able to spend some time - along with my colleague, Rep. Venkat - at the Utah State Capitol. It’s gorgeous. Not as gorgeous as ours. I’m looking forward to learning more about how other legislatures work and bringing that information back to Pennsylvania!
