Could a new tax on Pittsburgh's wealthiest residents help solve the city's budget crisis? A proposed 2% tax on investment earnings, rental income and other sources of unearned income could bring in more than $50 million annually. Retirement income, including pensions, would be e

The fair share tax is a great way to tax the wealthy at a higher rate to get around the outdated uniformity clause in our state constitution that prevents our state from having a fair progressive income tax.

Prediction firm Kalshi kicked in a $50k check to a Democratic-aligned super PAC spending against Pennsylvania GOP legislative incumbents. The PAC raised almost $8 million total, mostly from traditional Dem donors in organized labor (plus a coterie of dark money groups.)

Yesterday was the worst day to forget my mask. The stands were SO smoky. Cool to go up 2-0 though.

New: Anti-data center advocates are calling for voters to write-in state Sen. Katie Muth (D., Chester) in the Pennsylvania gubernatorial race. I talked to a lead organizer of the effort, who says its independent of the senator.

There is less in-fighting and more respect in the Green Party than any I have known in a long political life. Attacks on us are because our policies are popular. We want: tax the wealthiest; cap rent and build council houses; end fosssil fuel mining, and swift shift to renewables

The media is publishing non-stop bullshit stories trying to cause friction between Polanski, Ali, and others in Green leadership They did same with Corbyn and McDonnell - and it’s a sign of desperation You cannot trust a single thing mainstream journalists say about Greens now. They’ve declared war on a vehicle that threatens the entrenched power they serve Important to remember these people are not journalists; they are paid propagandists working to maintain UK oligarchy

The P1 was right behind my Greyhound on Grant Street but I got lucky with lights and people lining up and was able to be the first one off and sprint to catch it at Penn Station. Saved myself a 20+ minute wait.
