Thank you, Pittsburgh, for electing me to be your 62nd Mayor.

California is the manufacturing capital of America, period.

We create more jobs, produce more goods, and drive more innovation than anywhere else in the country — because what gets built in California shapes the future and powers the U.S. economy.

These are the lowest cost insurance options for a 62 year old Georgian making $65k.

2025: $228
2026: $1142

She will lose $704/month in credits because of GOP cuts to health care.

This is a crisis. We cannot wait to fix this.

Opinion | Trump’s ‘Compact’ With Universities Is Just Extortion There seems to be no limit to the president’s odious attempts to control higher education.

Trump’s proposed “compact” with nine major universities “is extortion, plain and simple,” Erwin Chemerinsky writes. “It is not hyperbole to say that the future of higher education in America requires that every university reject it.”

Interesting that Trump doesn’t consider the agency (BLS) that puts out the jobs report as essential employees during the shutdown. Is there any chance if he thought the report was going to be good on Friday he would be furloughing these workers and refusing to put it out?

Heading on DOJ website "Democrats have shut down the government. Department of Justice websites are not currently regularly updated. Please refer to the DOJ's contingency plan for more information. "

@agpambondi.govpeeps.com this partisan post on the DOJ website is an illegal violation of the Hatch Act and must be removed immediately

Republicans control every branch in Washington.

Now, Trump is openly giddy about using the shutdown to slash and burn federal resources that working Americans count on.

His shutdown, and firings, will hurt people in every part of this country.

Trump asks 9 colleges to commit to his political agenda for better access to federal money A document sent to the universities encourages them to adopt the White House’s vision for America’s campuses, with commitments to accept the government’s priorities on admissions, women’s sports, free...

The White House is asking nine major universities to commit to President Donald Trump’s political priorities in exchange for more favorable access to federal money.

Jeffries: “Republicans have shown zero interest in even having a conversation after the White House meeting on Monday. We've seen behavior by the president that is unserious and unhinged. And Leader Schumer and myself haven't gotten a single phone call as it relates to a follow-up conversation.”

New York Times: "Trump Administration Asks Colleges to Sign ‘Compact’ to Get Funding Preference." The White House asked nine top universities to pledge support for President Trump’s agenda to help ensure access to research funding.

IF ANY CALIFORNIA UNIVERSITY SIGNS THIS RADICAL AGREEMENT, THEY'LL LOSE BILLIONS IN STATE FUNDING — INCLUDING CAL GRANTS — INSTANTLY.

CALIFORNIA WILL NOT BANKROLL SCHOOLS THAT SELL OUT THEIR STUDENTS, PROFESSORS, RESEARCHERS, AND SURRENDER ACADEMIC FREEDOM.

The CDC still hasn't issued COVID vaccine guidelines, leaving access in limbo Access to the COVID-19 vaccines remains difficult because of an unusual and unexplained delay by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in accepting recommendations from its advisers.

Federal Workers Are Being Told to Blame Democrats for the Shutdown Workers at one agency were given unhinged, partisan language to use when setting out-of-office replies.

SCOOP: At 9:35am on Wednesday, the first morning of the US government shutdown, employees at the Small Business Administration (SBA) received a template from human resources for their suggested “out of office” email. They were advised to blame the Democrats.

The US is going to bailout Argentina with your tariff money.

Let that sink in

MAGA: If you want to know what the rest of the world thinks of Donald Trump, here you go.

They think he's an idiot and a buffoon.

Because that's what he is.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Trump during the campaign: I never even heard of Project 2025, don’t know anything about it, don’t know who is involved.

Trump today:

Wow

Wow

NSF’s doors will be closed at 1:30 pm today. While you may be able to submit things, there will be no staff to process anything. In fact it is illegal for us to even open our work computers or email during a shutdown. A very few rotators may be able to communicate, so check out of office responses.

The federal government has shut down. Here's what will be affected across the country The federal shutdown will impact people across the United States. NPR's network of member stations explains how these effects will be felt nationwide.

The President of the United States posted this racist video mocking the Democratic leadership in Congress.

There. Are. No. Words…..

America is in the midst of a self-inflicted economic damage, federal government shutdown, and daily humiliation on the global stage.

All within just nine months of Donald Trump returning to the White House with full GOP control of Washington.

I don't often quote the president, but here goes:

"If there is a shutdown, I think it would be a tremendously negative mark on the president of the United States. He's the one that has to get people together."

- Donald Trump

While anti-vaxx nonsense spreads, we've damaged federal public health agencies and demonized the people who work there. We are in uncharted territory.

Can't we just get healthcare
