From the unsolved Biden White House cocaine scandal to raw truths about #addiction, my new book #ReportingFromDetox uncovers it all with unflinching veracity and explosive clarity— ReportingFromDetox.com transcends political party.

@Georgesantos **in recent history.

I survived a media storm, I walked through one of the most intense and vicious media pile on in recent memory. I see so many people going through bad press… do not think this is it, this too shall pass and you will learn from your past actions… you are not irredeemable, you can fight hard to rebuild your life and move forward. You are loved by God and no one can take that away from you. Learn from your lows so you can thrive in your highs.

Time for an exit strategy.

@StephenJ_Caruso @hollyotterbein 🧐

Two sources told @hollyotterbein that Gov. Josh Shapiro advised the Philly Building Trades to avoid attacking Ala Stanford in their support for Sharif Street to not inadvertently aid progressive outsider state Rep. Chris Rabb in the 3rd Congressional District primary.

That makes no senses. Nobody can logically explain where Fetterman abandoned any core Democratic PRINCIPLE. If ppl wanna attack Senate votes then at least look at it in full context. Fetterman was right: Lamb is & always has been moderate. That’s how he got elected in an R district 🙄

@TheChrisBenson @blz314 @MikeNellis @jessdrkn He ran as a "progressive Democrat" during the primaries, his words. Calling his opponent Lamb not left enough. Then, after the primary, abandoned that entirely and is now further right than most of the party. So...Yea.

My problem with John Fetterman isn’t that he’s a so-called “moderate”. It’s that he campaigned as a progressive, told Pennsylvanians what they wanted to hear, and then shifted on many of those positions once he got to the Senate. If he had been honest from the start, that would be different. But saying one thing to get elected and governing another way is a betrayal of voters, and it’s why he should lose his job — just like Donald Trump.

@DePasqualePA Thank you for coming, Mr. Chairman!

Great evening with the Lycoming Dems and discussing how the Medicaid cuts and high prices are hurting rural PA.

@blz314 @MikeNellis @jessdrkn Ok so you literally just proved my point that Fetterman hasn’t shifted on any issue. Thank you.

@TheChrisBenson @MikeNellis @jessdrkn He shifted on being a team player. Even in 2024 as he was being frustrating on israel-hawkishness he still openly championed Biden and then Harris. But since then he just goes on Fox News and shivs his party.

@LucasSa56947288 I’m getting more and more into Beshear by the day. Beshear is solid because he’s the least controversial choice with tons of room to expand his base.

Who should run for president in 2028: (1. Gov. Gavin Newson (2. Rep. AOC (3. Gov. JB Pritzker (4. Gov. Gretchen Whiter (5. Gov. Andy Beshear (6. Pete Buttigieg (7. Sen. Jon Ossoff (8. Gov. Tim Walz (9. Rep. Ro Khanna (10. Sen. Chris Murphy

@nicholeaileen @SamWasserman_ His ill-fitting suit should be disqualification enough.

Allegheny County, PA! Tell County Council that Pat Catena is unfit to serve as President! change.org/p/remove-pat-c…

@PollTracker2024 Democrats are going to lose Maine—they’ll vote for consistency before unpredictability.

The Lever: Graham Platner says he opposes an assault weapons ban and owns several AR-15s Platner believes Democrats are missing the bigger picture on gun violence. “If we really gave a shit about gun deaths… we would be dealing with this in a much more holistic fashion.” #MaineSenate

@bcuban @LouDPhillips @YMPhillips I’ll see your kitty and raise you a pupper :)

@jjabbott According to the TV spots on either side, Lisa Baker is apparently both “liberal” and a “pro-Trump conservative.”

Lisa Baker must be in a lot of trouble in her primary if she’s doing this stuff

@AnnieForTruth Thoughts and prayers.

Kyle Rittenhouse, who murdered two protesters during a social rights demonstration in 2020, was hospitalized on Wednesday after a venomous spider bite. We all pray the spider is OK! 🙏

🚨BREAKING: @Rob4PA claimed he had a “Democrats for Rob Coalition” supporting him, but there’s one problem…it’s not led by any Democrats. Pennsylvanians of all stripes see through Bresnahan’s lies, and come November, we’re going to make him a one-term congressman. salon.com/2026/05/06/sur…

@ScottPresler Mostly because Rittenhouse is a walking disease.

Kyle Rittenhouse was bitten by a brown recluse spider — whose venom is necrotic — & this is how democrats reacted:

Awwwww shit.... @ErinforPA is back on Twitter!!!

Erin McClelland, the treasury candidate who criticized Shapiro, posted this in response to the Axios story:

@debra_valli @Suzierizzo1 @GetTFVaccinated Opine on PA primary elections at your own peril. Believe me.

@TheChrisBenson @Suzierizzo1 @GetTFVaccinated Believe me, nobody worries that Fetterman’s seat will flip to a Republican as Fetterman will never be a candidate again. If he were to run for reelection, he would never survive the primary.

If you lived in Pennsylvania would you vote to re-elect John Fetterman to the Senate as a Democrat? 👇👇

Yeesh. I’ve misspoken plenty of times in my life- however, I don’t know that I’ve ever misspoken an entire paragraph, with such vivid detail, about something I was directly involved in.
