State Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta (D-Philadelphia) called out President Donald Trump’s authoritarian playbook during a town hall in Bucks County on Saturday, and promised to never kiss Trump’s ring.
Democrats, along with US Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ), held a town hall in US Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick’s (R-Bucks) district and highlighted how Fitzpatrick has refused to stand up to Trump since Trump began his second term earlier this year.

State Rep Rick Krajewski (D-Philadelphia), who was the prime sponsor of House Bill 1200, a cannabis legalization bill, shared what he believes to be failures of the private cannabis industry after Senate Republicans voted the bill down in committee on Tuesday.
Pennsylvania House Democrats last week passed HB 1200, which seeks to legalize adult-use cannabis for those over the age of 21. The bill calls for selling cannabis through Pennsylvania’s state-owned liquor store system.
While visiting Bucks County this past weekend, US Sen. Ruben Gallego said it would be a black eye on the country if President Donald Trump tries to suspend habeas corpus and due process for all Americans.
Stephen Miller, a top White House advisor to Trump, suggested that Trump is actively looking at suspending habeas corpus, even though he does not have the power to do so.
Congress is the only branch of government that has the power to suspend habeas corpus, which grants individuals the right to due process and to present their defense before a judge.

Democrats in the Pennsylvania House passed a historic recreational cannabis legalization bill this week by a 102-101 party line vote.
However, House Bill 1200 faces long odds in the Republican-controlled Pennsylvania Senate.
HB 1200 legalizes recreational cannabis use for adults over the age of 21 and it allows for the substance to be sold in state-owned stores.
The bill contains some public safety measures by placing a 25% limit on THC concentration sold in flower products, and limits the THC concentration to five milligrams per serving and 25 milligrams per package.
HB 1200 allows residents to grow two up to plants at a time in their homes.
This week’s vote marked the first time the state House has ever passed a cannabis legalization bill.

When State Sen. Doug Mastriano isn’t posting on social media about potentially running for governor in 2026, there’s a chance he may be posting about chemtrails.
Yes, chemtrails.
If you scroll through his social media pages, you’ll see some vague and not so vague references to chemtrails polluting our skies, and he even went as far as introducing Senate Bill 508, which bans the use of cloud seeding and other weather manipulation tactics.
This conspiracy theory is absolutely false, with zero evidence to back it up, and scientists and researchers state that it would be impossible for the government to cover up a conspiracy of this magnitude.

Senator Bernie Sanders stands in solidarity with union workers and allies at a May Day Rally in Philadelphia, rallying behind the message: “For the workers, not the billionaires.”
Listen to Congressman Scott Perry talk about impeaching federal district judges and defunding federal courts standing in the way of President Donald Trump’s agenda.
Perry appeared on a right-wing podcast earlier this month and called on Republicans to use reconciliation, a budgetary maneuver that doesn’t require 60 votes in the US Senate, to pass legislation limiting judges from issuing nationwide injunctions.
Perry also called on the US House to use the Holman rule, which dates back to the 1870s, in order to defund district courts blocking Trump’s agenda.

At reproductive health care clinics across Pennsylvania, patient escorts are the first line of defense for abortion rights. These volunteers put themselves between patients walking into medical facilities and the intimidating, harassing, and sometimes threatening protestors who oppose reproductive services.

Carly Morton shared a powerful message for Congressional lawmakers when she was asked what she would say to President Donald Trump or US House Republicans considering cutting $880 billion from Medicaid, a move that could have direct implications on her life.
Morton, a 31-year-old Beaver County resident, relies on Medicaid. She has 23 medical diagnoses and spends a lot of her time going to medical appointments or treating herself because of her conditions. Because of Medicaid, she’s able to be healthy enough to work part-time.
Morton told The Keystone that she just wants to participate in society, but cuts to Medicaid would force her to choose between receiving her needed medical care or buying food, paying for rent, or other basic needs.
