Environmentalists urge Shapiro, lawmakers not to compromise on climate to end budget impasse • Pennsylvania Capital-Star RGGI aims to reduce climate-warming carbon dioxide emissions from power plants by requiring the companies that own them to invest in clean energy projects.

A compromise that sacrifices Pennsylvania’s participation in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) to end the commonwealth’s four-month budget stalemate would be shortsighted and harmful, environmental and clean energy advocates say.

Democracy only works when we - the people - participate. Not only did we maintain our liberal majority on the Supreme Court here in PA, but voters in NJ and VA made it clear that Democrats are leading the way forward. (1/4)

It also was noted that there was recently a devastating forest fire in this exact area and currently the area is under a burn ban. Will law enforcement investigate given Sen. Keefer put others in danger?

This is utterly grotesque, a complete embarrassment to Pennsylvania and our institutions. To say I’m horrified is an absolute understatement.

Last night I went to DC for the We Are @emilys List. It was fun and inspirational (at a time when we can all use a little boost). Most importantly, I finally had the opportunity to meet my fellow Rising Star nominees and they are as amazing and inspirational as you would think!

But also, the ballots are printed specific to each election. You can only get an official ballot that can be electronically read with correct info during that specific election period. Between this and the postage date… it’s pretty obvious the ballot was completed within the appropriate timeframe.

“Chuck Schumer it’s the only time in my life I can tell you no…”

The man spoke passionately and eloquently on behalf of the American people for more than 24 hours. And he was still quick with a joke? @booker.senate.gov @corybooker.com is the leader we need! Thank you, sir!

Our volunteers made 50k calls into SD-36.

Every call mattered.

Never let anyone tell you that talking to voters doesn’t work.

This is bullshit!

Dismantling the Department of Education would mean teacher layoffs, taking programs away from students, and schools falling into despair, all so Donald Trump can take your taxpayer dollars away from schools and give it to his billionaire friends.

'There's no blueprint': Pennsylvania state senator prepares to give birth amid legislative turmoil Amanda Cappelletti is set to make history as the first state senator to give birth in office, joining just 5 percent of state lawmakers nationwide who are mothers of kids under 18.

Back in January of 2023 a few months before I gave birth to my daughter, I spoke to The 19th News about how my experiences trying to start and expand my family have informed what I am fighting for in the state Senate.
