@Gabino_Iglesias Dude...come to Philly. For the tacos. For the cheesesteak. For the bookstores.

I don’t come to New York for the tacos, you feel me? Anyway, after this, I’m gonna go look for the ghost of Joey Gallo…

@Gabino_Iglesias True that.

Sent this to a friend who’s a writer just now and thought, “Yup, that’s it. Every time. Learn its heart.”

@SenMcCormickPA Pssss....ever hear of renewable energy? Check in with China... they've gotten good at this.

LIVE on the Senate Floor: I’m talking about the importance of permitting reform and why it’s critical to unleash America’s energy dominance. x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

@SenMcCormickPA @PhillyMayor Really? How about working on restoring health care/insurance to your constituents?

Incredible day with @PhillyMayor. Cheesesteaks are one of the great things that bring people together. From improving public safety to strengthening our neighborhoods, we’re focused on delivering results for the people of Philadelphia. Grateful for our partnership.

@StephenKing Mia Wallace would be so proud of you.

Daddy Tomato, Mommy Tomato, and Baby Tomato are walking down the street. Baby Tomato keeps falling behind, so Daddy Tomato says, "Catch up!" Geddit, geddit?

@Gabino_Iglesias That is some fine company! Stories that never let go...

Happy to see House of Bone and Rain listed with these giants. Also, here’s the thing about being a horror fan: I’ve read, loved, and reviewed three of the others. Will review Luke’s soon. Long live horror.

@Gabino_Iglesias I beta read and treat it as an honor that I've been entrusted to look at someone's work and bring them my perspective. Anything else is a breach of ethics.

I’m not telling you what to do, but many of us don’t use beta readers, so unless you have some you’d trust with your life, maybe right now is not a good time to start looking. I’ve seen dozens of angry/sad “My beta reader told me they fed my book to AI” posts, and fuck that.

@Gabino_Iglesias That's an insult to my man Samuel L.

Pete Hegseth?!

@SenMcCormickPA @DHSgov Not even the Pope is on your side. Maybe you can redeem yourself... not sure.

A @DHSgov shutdown helps no one. With threats rising at home and abroad, Democrat shutdown politics are reckless. For more than 50 days, frontline DHS personnel have been asked to carry the burden while Washington plays games. It’s time to FULLY FUND DHS, pay the men and women who protect us, and keep Americans safe.

@Gabino_Iglesias @JohnAMcColley I dunno. He's pretty callous about blowing up entire civilizations. That's evil in my book.

@JohnAMcColley Oh, most definitely in the running! I just think he’s too stupid to be compare to the Hitlers and Pol Pots, you know?

Not the most evil, but maybe the stupidest person ever in politics, and that’s saying a lot.

@Gabino_Iglesias "Something very bad is going to happen" - a whiff of Tarantio & a dose of Duffer Bros. Reread The Turn of the Screw - tough one.

What are y’all reading and watching this weekend?

@SenMcCormickPA Your overlord says, "he's going to be fine." Don't we all feel better now????

Praying for the American aircrew man in Iran and for all those working to rescue him.

@Gabino_Iglesias I love the expression on her face. Looks like it's a rollicking good story...."And then what happened?" she asked, barely able to contain her glee.

@Gabino_Iglesias I'm counting on being able to read it.

Two years. Two whole years of my life working on this, and hopefully the work is just getting started. So much pain. So many ghosts. So much hope. So much blood. A perfect vessel for my grief, my anger. Hope y’all get to read it.

@SenMastriano No...that will put the state budget in a total bind. Just call off T&rump's war in Iran.

Suspend the gas tax! Right now, the gas tax stands at 57.6¢ per gallon, and the diesel tax is 74.1¢ per gallon. With families and businesses already feeling the strain of rising costs, suspending the gas tax would provide meaningful relief at the pump. It’s time to put money back in the pockets of hardworking Americans.

@SenMcCormickPA @DHSgov You're right. We deserve better. Retire. Quit. Do us a favor.

At a time of terror-linked attacks and major cyberattacks, @DHSgov must be FULLY funded. Instead, Democrats keep playing political games with our national security. The safety of Americans isn’t a bargaining chip. Americans deserve better.

@SenMcCormickPA I trust the Inquirer. Not you.

It’s disappointing but not surprising that the Philadelphia Inquirer launched a biased and misinformed attack on the Save America Act. The Inquirer’s readers deserve better. See my letter to the editor setting the record straight ⬇️ inquirer.com/opinion/letter…

@Gabino_Iglesias That is so Monday.

@SenMcCormickPA @SenFettermanPA @USDOT 98,000 PA residents lost their healthcare this year....what are you doing about that?

✅ Big win for Pennsylvania! @SenFettermanPA and I worked in the Senate to secure $600 million from @USDOT for the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission to replace the Delaware River Bridge. This key bridge, built in 1956, is a critical crossing between Bucks County, PA, and Burlington County, NJ, and carries 67,000 vehicles a day. Looking forward to working with my friend @RepBrianFitz and local stakeholders on the path ahead for the project. mccormick.senate.gov/news/press-rel…

@Gabino_Iglesias Add this to the list: The Monk: A Romance. Spanish novel written in 1796 by Mathew Gregory Lewis. It's wild... puts the Inquisition in perspective.

Would love to edit an anthology of very diverse religious horror.
