“[In] 2016, SPC’s Citizen Advisory Task Force warned that [PRT] reserves would vanish by the mid-2020s. A few policy wonks took note. Most decision makers just left early. By 2018, Brookings titled a webinar “Pennsylvania’s Transit Funding Cliff.” Allegheny County was on the invite. Nobody spoke.”

Pennsylvanians work hard and expect a legislature that does the same. @pahousedems.com are doing the people’s work while Senate Republicans are throwing in the towel with time still on the clock.

I'm not sure what Fisher is going to accomplish with this, as team sales don't happen quickly, and I'm not sure this will free up enough cash to fund the planned Las Vegas stadium. I think he hears Manfred's footsteps. www.si.com/mlb/athletic...

Sure is swell that our #8 hitter is Ke’Bryan Hayes with a .562 OPS, and theirs is Javier Báez with an .802 OPS (which would lead the Pirates) and two HR tonight.

I wrote an Op-Ed about SEPTA funding and how our Agency is actually one of the most efficient in the country with handling money. The last thing we need is for SEPTA to get defunded, enjoy the gift link 🤙

A tax break for car interest payments is a spectacularly terrible policy idea: ❌ Regressive ❌ Encourages people to get a bigger car than they need ❌ Disincentivizes modes that are less dangerous/polluting (walking, biking, transit)

I missed this last week, but a mother was killed while riding her bicycle on Eden Park Boulevard in McKeesport. Kudos to @bikepgh.bsky.social for spreading the word about a GoFundMe for her young daughter, as well as the need for safety improvements.

Despite what US DOT Secretary Duffy says, federal transportation formula grants—which account for 80% of fed transport spending—legally cannot be conditioned on random criteria the Secretary comes up with.

Pirates off tonight. Here are some stats about the starting pitching in 2025: - 3.51 ERA (6th in MLB) - 404.2 IP (1st) - 1.16 WHIP (5th) - .233 opponent BA (7th) The offseason consensus that "they'll have a great rotation, but everything else will be awful" has been true, even without Jared Jones!

It's pretty notable that mainstream, establishment discourse never ever ever considers giving liberal politicians credit for crime reductions. It's almost axiomatic that if crime goes down under a center-left leader it's either unremarked upon, or must be driven by something else.

I can guarantee you this shirt inspired by Paramore's RIOT! won't win the September contest (it's only at 5% of the vote), so can the Pirates print one out just for me? www.mlb.com/pirates/fans...
