@TribLIVE Traditional Dems just can’t survive anymore in ever-more-leftist Allegheny County/Pittsburgh. Yinz won’t be happy until the ‘Burgh turns into Philly or Chicago.

@NYCMayor @CMSandyNurse They call that communism … virtual takeover of private property through govt mandates.

For years, New Yorkers have been priced out of their own neighborhoods as outside investors have profited. With @CMSandyNurse's COPA legislation, when many apartment buildings go up for sale, tenants and nonprofits would have a chance to buy the building before investors. I'm proud to support COPA, grateful for Councilmember Nurse's partnership, and looking forward working with City Council to pass this important bill.

@CynicalPublius Isn’t that the definition of The Swamp?

What he is actually saying is as follows: "Hello unelected bureaucrats. Be sure to resist the will of the American people. I know that they relied on the Constitution and lawfully elected their preferred Presidential candidate, but you know better than all those stupid voters and you need to ignore their will. You know best."

@WSJ Apparently he angered the voters and lost their support.

The Louisiana lawmaker finished third to Julia Letlow and John Fleming after angering the president. on.wsj.com/43ck5sP

@colin_dunlap Couldn't agree more. Will also add that you should be a responsible adult and you should choose a man who will be a responsible father. Gov't can't replace that ... tho' they keep trying.

The proposal for a paid 18-week parental leave mandated by Allegheny County for all businesses will bankrupt small business. It is ludicrous. I know some will hate me saying this, but - if you elect to have a child, save accordingly.

@KDPomp It was truly beneath Little League. 🙄

If you missed this early display of bad base running by the #Pirates. This was it

@JackPosobiec You mean the law school formerly known as Dickinson?

Penn State

@JonathanTurley It’s very unseemly. She’s supposed to be a neutral intellectual interpreter of the law. Not a political mouthpiece.

Justice Jackson recently said that “I have a wonderful opportunity to tell people in my opinions how I feel about the issues, and that’s what I try to do.” For some of her colleagues, that cathartic benefit is coming at too high a cost for the Court. jonathanturley.org/2026/05/05/bas…

@TrumpsHurricane ManBearPig

What will Al Gore be remembered for ??

@PghLeonidas @MartyGriffinKD My guess is that they will be …

@MartyGriffinKD Appointed……didn’t win an election. Let’s see if the city’s dumb enough to give her a 2nd term.

Kinda sums up the far left…progressive movement (Pgh City Council member Barb Warwick)

@AetiusRF Racial division and the ridiculously weak "deal" with Iran ... Fast and Furious gets an honorable mention.

His presidency started an era of decline, ugliness, and insanity that embedded itself in American culture

@MibshaD Abortion kills the baby. That's the difference. Don't act dense.

If abortion is "playing God," so is chemo, insulin, and C-sections. Funny how only women's medical choices get called sacrilegious.

@mmpadellan That's not how the Biden years went ... those years were a net negative.

He didn't start any wars. He didn't alienate our allies. He created/recovered 16M jobs. He signed the infrastructure bill. He signed the CHIPS Act. He signed the PACT Act. He didn't build monuments to glorify himself. He didn't use the presidency to enrich himself. He didn't threaten to wipe out an entire civilization. We were BETTER off under Biden.

@colin_dunlap Why in hell do the Pgh Council people make that much money? They were asleep at the switch during the fiscal mismanagement of the Gainey days, and still appear to be asleep.

Pittsburgh city council woman Barb Warwick wore a “Tax The Rich” hat to the Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy Spring Hat Luncheon. The cheapest ticket was $350. She makes $87,000+. This lady is beyond a lunatic.

@EdLatimore 3yo-4yo children are truly God’s gift 💙💗

My son is 3 1/2. This is such a great age. It's the first time I feel like I'm having fun doing things *with* him as opposed to having fun and he's with me. We have favorite stories and activities. He helps make dinner and even gives input. It seems so crazy that a year ago, he could barely talk, and a year before that, barely walk. Now he's a counting, cooking, argumentative, imaginative member of the house. He even helped me find my wallet this morning.

@MrAndyNgo How condescending and racist to simply disregard the millions of law-abiding black Americans would gladly live in a crime-watch area. Because ... they want to be able go to the corner store without being assaulted or have their home burglarized while at their mom's funeral.

The liberal city of Ann Arbor, Mich. has removed its last "neighborhood crime watch" sign in a move meant to be more welcoming to blacks and people of color. The woke believe that law and order are anti-black and anti-POC, hence they call for abolishment. thepostmillennial.com/ann-arbor-remo…

@CynicalPublius Its' pretty clear that the Dem/the left have settled on the propaganda line, namely that race-neutral districting with the express intent of favoring a specific race somehow "destroys" voting rights. This makes sense only if you went to public school after 1993.

Sometimes it's tough to tell what a SCOTUS decision means. In this case, if you are a conservative and you believe in equality under our system of government without regard for race, gender, ethnicity, etc., this is good news. The decision does not overturn the Voting Rights Act, but it narrowed its scope and declared a Louisiana congressional district created specifically to be black-majority unconstitutional. The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was designed primarily to prevent Southern Democrats from depriving black citizens of their voting rights. However, just like affirmative action, policies that once made sense to overcome generations of racial prejudice cannot last indefinitely, or else they end up creating perverse outcomes. At oral argument, some of the Justices suggested that the Voting Rights Act implicitly includes a sunset provision, and the holding in Louisiana v. Callais seems to be headed in that direction. The political bottom line here is that this is great news for the GOP heading into the midterms.

@JamesRosenTV @LBJLibrary The Smothers Brothers never joked about LBJ getting killed (he took office after JFK assassination). They had the joke-candidacy of Pat Paulson. They made many jokes to protest the VietNam War. Big difference.

@JonathanTurley Have to agree. Without additional overt acts toward an attempt on DJT, Comey's seashell post makes him a snarky ass (like much of the political left) but not a criminal.

As one of his longest and most vocal critics, I would frankly prefer to crawl into one of Comey's conversant shells than write this column. However, here we are. This indictment is unconstitutional and will not likely survive constitutional challenge...jonathanturley.org/2026/04/29/she…

@hashjenni ... threats but no actual attempts on Pres. Obama.

Barack Obama was targeted 11 times in assassination attempts during his two terms. We don't remember any of them because they were handled through proper channels, professionally, and he isn't a whiny bitch.
