When we first passed Whole-Home Repairs, we hoped it would offer a blueprint for other states grappling with how to preserve aging housing stock and protect their residents. Today’s passage of the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act shows the realization of this hope.

What was supposed to be a celebratory day has become a constitutional crisis. The Senate GOP is making an unconstitutional attempt to refuse the seating of my colleague, @SenatorBrewster. He was rightfully elected, his election was certified, and he is present to take his seat.

PA Republicans want a constitutional amendment to strip away abortion care. We must:
➡️Ensure a pro-abortion Governor and legislature.
➡️Expand abortion access in PA.
➡️Protect abortion providers from out-of-state prosecution.
➡️Defeat this proposed amendment. 🧵

"With their decision to take the safest road design option [for Washington Avenue] off the table, Philadelphia officials sent a chilling message about the value of constituents' input," writes the Inquirer Editorial Board.

This is the THIRD time a private security contractor has discharged a weapon during a recent eviction. The opaque nature of the landlord tenant office keeps more details from being known. Evictions are a matter of public health and safety and need to be put in the public domain.
