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.

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.
