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.
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.
The Environmental Protection Agency after Trump is done with it be like……..

I’ve made an important decision: Yes, I am going to be that guy on my group texts today.
“Do you have any rocks?” Cultural competency quiz: Why did I just ask this question to my Mother?
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.
The most guaranteed applause line on the floor of the House: “I submit my remarks for the record.” (Means no speech)
Hello from Barnes and Nobles - about as subtle as a brick. I approve.
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.
Just had the time of my life answering some incredibly intelligent questions from eighth graders at Orefield Middle School. Also ran into the eighth grader who looks a lot like me.
It has been waaaaay too long since I have done this. Please give blood if you can - it’s an easy way to do good and maybe save a life #MKBCSelflessSelfies

Bren and I just caught up with Severance. Started watching a week ago. Don’t think I’ve ever liked a show more.
Really wish I could get Civ 2 to work on my computer.
Having a fact-based conversation about the role of gender identity in you to sports is 100% appropriate. Having a political obsession with a small minority is a political tactic designed to stir fear and scapegoat. Can you name one local 🏳️⚧️ athlete? www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2BrQEPe/
This one has been on my mind lately: Can you name one 🏳️⚧️ where you live?

My son just made my Father-In-Law read a bunch of brain rot words. I’m pleased to report it was - somehow - funnier than I thought it would be.
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.
Lovely prayer by @RepHarris - and two days in a row we’ve got a prayer that ends with an Eagles chant and it’s hilarious.
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!
This this this this this. Full time legislators - who are paid full time - result in more representative bodies. Part time legislators get you a very very limited set of perspectives.
... and, part-time salaries limit who can afford to serve as legislators and in turn what legislation gets introduced, who gets represented (I actually wrote a short piece about this last year) penncapital-star.com/government-p...
