Trump policies could cut health care for 200,000 Pennie users

Purchasing health insurance through Pennie, the commonwealth’s health care marketplace, is about to get a lot more expensive and harder to obtain thanks to President Donald Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill Act.”

Republicans failed to extend tax credits for state-run health care marketplaces, which expire at the end of 2025. Nearly half a million Pennsylvanians use Pennie, and 200,000 are at risk under Trump’s new policies.

Summer Lee leads fight to release Epstein Files

Summer Lee leads fight to release Epstein Files

US House Republicans might have fled Washington DC to prevent the release of the Jeffrey Epstein Files, but that didn’t stop Congresswoman Summer Lee (D-Allegheny) from forcing the House Oversight Subcommittee on Federal Law Enforcement to approve a subpoena for the Epstein Files.

Lee’s amendment calls for the Department of Justice to release the full and unredacted Epstein Files to the House Oversight Committee, and it passed by an 8-2 margin with US Rep. Scott Perry (R-York) voting in favor.

“We are one step closer to justice for victims of Jeffery Epstein’s crimes and those of his accomplices,” Lee said in a statement. “We cannot claim to be protecting children while allowing powerful people connected to Epstein to hide in the shadows. They are not above the law.
