I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you. The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia was deported even though the courts said he shouldn’t have been. Now Trump is refusing to follow a unanimous Supreme Court order to bring him back. We are in a constitutional crisis.

When Trump and Musk tout how much money they're saving by gutting cancer research and Social Security services, know this: Their IRS cuts will cost $500 billion in tax revenue just this year. That's more than half the Defense budget. None of their destruction is actually about saving money.

Josh Shapiro has spoken many times in Beaver County about how his faith guides his public service to all, regardless of who they worship. We are grateful that no one was injured in the arson. We condemn all violence, especially when it is motivated by political or religious hate.

We’re heartbroken to learn about the arson at the Governor’s Residence. No family should ever have to wake up to that kind of fear, especially just hours after celebrating the first night of Passover. We’re deeply grateful that Governor Shapiro and his family are safe.

Trump’s promise to end the Russia-Ukraine war is unraveling as he blames Biden and Zelensky, even after Russia killed 34 innocent people on Palm Sunday. Let’s not forget—this conflict started in 2014, and during Trump’s presidency, he did nothing to stop it. Accountability MATTERS❗
