"Today's vote ignores the well-documented harmful consequences of wage hikes by economists. Not only would this proposal slash up to 86,000 jobs, it would also worsen inflation for Pennsylvania workers and residents."

Casey Means was selected to be the nation's top doctor, but her nomination has stalled as some Republicans question her stance on vaccines and her medical credentials.

Oh, we don't have one, Fetterman said. I think the TDS, that's the leader right now our party is governed by the TDS. And now it's made it virtually impossible without being punished as a Democrat to agree something's good or I agree with the other side.

A confrontation outside the mayor's residence on Saturday-and the arrest on federal terrorism charges of two alleged Muslim extremists-offered a vivid reminder of the ways in which perceptions of crime and public safety remain central to New Yorkers' sense of their city. And their sense of how New York's politicians are performing.

Our work at RPA ultimately impacts how people live: how they get to work, find a home, and feel secure about the future of their communities. Jamie understands that deeply. His leadership and commitment to public service will strengthen our ability to move bold ideas into action.

At issue is a narrow 10-foot-wide peninsula, a comically small spit of land along the Shapiros' property line that broadens slightly into a small chunk of someone's backyard. Whose yard depends on whom you ask. On paper, the land belongs to the Mocks. But the Shapiros, seeking to build a security fence, have claimed in court to have squatters' rights, a longtime feature of property law.

The Trump administration purchased a giant warehouse in rural Roxbury Township, New Jersey, for $129.3 million with plans to convert it into one of the largest immigration detention centers in the country. The plan is not only unpopular among a bipartisan swath of residents, but it's also roiling what was already shaping up to be a gripping and crowded Democratic primary in the state's 7th Congressional District.

She's put forward her proposal and we are as interested [as] anyone in making sure that we are not overcharged and subjected to fraud. So I believe we'll have a broader conversation. Yes, sir, [the governor should explain what promise there is insurance companies would actually lower their rates].

Stephen Sherrill! It's Rod Blagojevic, and your Uncle Mike in New York asked me to send you this message. In the six years he's been a free man, Blagojevic has developed this side hustle recording individualized messages full of personality, Chicago references, and just the right amount of political flair for everything from bachelor parties to new moms.

The understanding that we have reached when we've talked about it, to the extent we've talked about it at all, is that The Distraction should try to be a good hang even in bad times. This is dependent, of course, on the extent to which Drew and I are capable of managing that, and also relative to how bad the times in question are.

The constant kinds of yelling and screaming and, you know, holding up signs and doing all of these things – I don't care if it's a Republican or Democrat as the president, just don't do that. Respect the office.

More than one local Dem exclaimed "It's an election year!" when asked about Mamdani's brash demand Tuesday that Hochul and Albany either pass a 2% increase on millionaires - or he'd be "forced" to hit New Yorkers with a 9.5% property tax hike to balance the city's budget. "Middle class homeowners shouldn't be used as a bargaining chip," Queens Borough President Donovan Richards said in an interview.

Rather than tinker with this, let's go big and make a real impact, Shapiro told legislators in his annual state-of-the-state address Tuesday. We need hundreds of thousands of new homes.

She's fearless, rooted in working-class communities, and unafraid to take on both MAGA extremism and corporate power.

A New York City councilmember known for her fervent criticism of Israel faced harsh questioning at a recent gathering of the Democratic Socialists of America - because she had also spoken out against Hamas, as well as supporters of the terrorist organization who demonstrated outside New York synagogues. The comments came during Councilmember Shahana Hanif's interview earlier this month with the NYC-DSA Socialists in Office committee.

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro (D) said he was offended by Kamala Harris's team asking if he was a double agent for Israel while he was being vetted to be her running mate during the 2024 presidential race. Shapiro revealed he was irritated by the question in his upcoming book titled Where We Keep the Light. The New York Times published some excerpts from his memoir on Sunday evening.

This month, a judge ordered the University of Pennsylvania to justify its refusal to collect and disclose the names and personal contact information of Jewish faculty, staff and students to the federal government. Late last year, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) sued Penn to force compliance with this chilling demand, made in the name of fighting antisemitism. Jewish and non-Jewish community members at Penn and beyond have united to support the university's resistance to compiling and releasing data about members of campus Jewish organizations,

In some ways yes and in some ways no, referencing the recent bombshell Wall Street Journal story about investments from Abu Dhabi into the Trump family business just before he became president for a second time. If the name were Biden instead of Trump, people would be screaming bloody murder, Shapiro said, before adding that he's confident that the president will likely pardon himself and his children in the same way that [former President] Joe Biden did on his way out.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries says replacing Nancy Pelosi is like following after Michael Jordan. Kevin Dietsch/Getty Images In response to the deaths of Renee Macklin Good and Alex Pretti, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., is urging his Republican counterparts to "rein in" Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). "ICE is completely and totally out of control and it needs to be reined in, which is why we need dramatic reform at the Department of Homeland Security," Jeffries told Morning Edition.
