For the first time since 1994, the Pope is personally carrying the Cross for all 14 Stations of the Cross, as Pope Leo XIV leads the Via Crucis at Rome’s Colosseum in the first Good Friday of his Pontificate.

Of course - workday parent conferences required parents, especially of younger students, to take time off AND find childcare so they could attend since their kids were home. Insane.

In our @CheltenhamSD students were off three days the second week in March (two days for workday parent conferences, and one for Eid), then spring break this week. Religious observances I am 100 percent fine with, it’s the other random scheduling decisions that I object to.

"This year, NYC's K–8 students are scheduled for complete 5-day weeks just over half of all weeks; for HS students, 22 of 44 weeks will be incomplete. Snow has played a part, but bigger culprits are religious & cultural holidays & staff-development days." nymag.com/intelligencer/…

Nancy Pelosi: “I think Hillary Clinton was the most qualified person of that generation. More qualified than her husband, more qualified than George W. Bush, more qualified than Barack Obama. Certainly more qualified than the creature that is there now”

UPDATE. Potomac TRACON was evacuated due to a “strong smell,” per FAA statement. The second time the key D.C. area air traffic control facility has been evacuated in as many weeks.

Elected government service is the only profession where experience is frowned upon, a long tenure is a negative, pay & working conditions are a disincentive, and in Philly, you have to quit your job to seek a new one. I’d prefer to have smart, experienced people in elected office

Yikes. Crime up 40 percent in Downtown Pittsburgh under the O'Connor administration.

@dakaner Listen, a lot of places do non-partisan local elections. That makes tremendous sense to me - far more than opening access to party primaries.
English
@NeilDeegan24 The one area where I’m a little sympathetic here is I think purely from a good government standpoint registered Rs should get to vote in the real Mayor’s race (not the November dog and pony show) but beyond that this is a problem the people themselves are fully capable of solving

Chairman @maxwelljosh’s op-ed this morning makes interesting points re: opening party primaries to independent voters. But, remember that those registered with a party are “members”, which entitles them to choose their party’s standard bearer for office. inquirer.com/opinion/commen…

There are tremendous reforms still needed to voting process, election administration and campaign finance law in PA - that would be on my wish list, too.
English
That said, we should make same-day registration available - which would allow previously registered independents an opportunity to vote in a party’s primary as a member of that party.

I generally agree that having octogenarians in office isn’t ideal, but term limits are not the answer. I also don’t necessarily want an 80 year old neurosurgeon operating on my brain, but I sure don’t want one who has only been cutting for a year or two digging around in there.

Great work by @Centralalums grad Justin DiBerardinis and @TTFWatershed. Tacony Creek and Friends Hospital grounds are an incredible natural and recreational resource in the NE. Miss the azalea days at Friends! #loaded" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">inquirer.com/news/philadelp…

The likelihood - thankfully - is that whoever our 2028 nominee for PA Senate turns out to be, it will be someone who was not on the ballot for the same office in 2022. We have a bench. Also, it doesn’t have to be a well off white dude. We have better options.

Fetterman beating Lamb and then becoming a conservadem negatively polarized Lamb into becoming more liberal.
If that didn’t happen, Lamb very well may have been an ideologically similar Senator to Fetterman right now.
Rob Wood@MediawatchNw
The Democrats of Pennsylvania could have had Conor Lamb as their Senator but instead looked at a big doofy guy in a hoodie and decided they preferred a guy who looked and acted more like them than an educated attorney with military experience. This mess is all on you guys.
