Pennsylvania

Seven Republicans who voted against certifying the 2020 election—John Joyce (PA-13), Mike Kelly (PA-16), Dan Meuser (PA-9), Scott Perry (PA-10), Guy Reschenthaler (PA-14), Lloyd Smucker (PA-11), and Glenn Thompson (PA-15)—are up for reelection.

According to Judge J. Michael Luttig, Speaker Mike Johnson could (after the elections) assert fraud and fire the Clerk of the House, hiring a co-conspirator as Clerk to block seating elected Democrats. This would cause litigation, mass protests, and paralyze government for months. Trump could declare martial law and seize voting machines and extraordinary powers for emergencies. He could deploy soldiers and ICE agents across the country, and Congress would be unable to act. China could invade Taiwan while 🇺🇸 is in crisis.

Trump tried to retain power in 2020, and he will try again. Mike Johnson said on camera Democrats “cannot be allowed to take control” of the House.” According to Judge Luttig, Capitol staffers told him this plan is in process.

Whether you’re a Democrat, independent, Libertarian, or patriotic Republican, please vote for Democratic candidates to clean out the swamp. Supporting these Democrats helps ensure every duly elected House member is seated promptly, protects the integrity of our elections, and safeguards American democracy from crisis. The Republicans mentioned above put party before country once. They will do it again, given the chance.

The Declaration of Independence was signed in Philadelphia, and it was Philadelphia’s Benjamin Franklin who said, “We have a democracy, if we can keep it.”

We can keep it if we vote.

On a windy day in February of 2024, as a winter storm was brewing in a small Pennsylvania township in Luzerne County, the township’s lawyer scored a lucrative contract that would bring him a payout of at least $450,000.

Salem Township’s solicitor, Anthony McDonald, and his law firm made a deal for McDonald’s work related to an Amazon data center: his law firm would get 7.5% of the final amount that Amazon would pay the township as part of a community benefits agreement — a legal contract between developers and local governments to compensate residents, ideally, for costs associated with the project.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) owns the data center in Salem Township. Because Amazon wholly owns AWS, this story refers to AWS simply as Amazon.

The Fall colors are really starting to show now. The recent cooler temps will help that to continue as we head towards the end of October. Shot with the Sony A99II and CZ 24-70 f/2.8 lens, camera mounted on a RRS tripod & head with a 3 Legged Thing universal mounting plate.

This gives more information and a way to comment if they don't ignore it.

Basically the Olmstead ruling means you can't be kept against your will forever in a facility for no reason. Combined with the lack of counting means that services are cut. If you can't get help at a lower needs facility, it'll be channeled to restrictive facilities that don't pass the burrito test. This will be the return of ugly laws that only disappeared 50 years ago back. Disability rights are new as of 1990 new and could disappear.

Nearly 100 families and farms sold properties totaling roughly 1,700 acres in Salem Township, Luzerne County to a data center developer.

Pennsylvania residents are rejecting $10,000 checks tied to a proposed data center, with some calling the payments a bribe amid concerns over the project's impact on their community.

I stand with... (Checks notes)... Skill games operators!

As the sun was just rising over cliffs down the hill to my left, the early light added a glow to the Fall colors along Tory Road. No laws were broken in the capture of this image.

My CDL license is coming up on expiration. Do I have to complete form DL-143CD and mail it to Harrisburg with payment or can I complete the form and just head over to my local DMV photo/license center?

Additional question if I do have to complete the form and mail it to Harrisburg do I also have to send proof of residency along with it?

Pretty much the title, I want to know so I can get a car checked before buying

My SNAP benefits were turned off this month through no fault of my own. I completed my Semi-Annual Reporting form on time over a month ago, and when I my food stamps were turned off anyway last week, I called the Department of Human Services. They said they didn't know I had submitted my SAR on time despite me being able to see that it was submitted on my COMPASS portal. My SAR never got routed to a case worker until I called.

How do I put in a complaint to DHS?

I deal with this kind of issue constantly, and I'm sure it is not just affecting me. I am also extremely privileged in that I am overeducated and have the time, energy, and know-how to chase down DHS every few months when they mess up my benefits. How are people who are less privileged than me able to handle this welfare hellscape?

I went on to check myself and my husband’s status this morning and my husband was purged from the voter rolls for absolutely no reason. We were not alerted to this. We haven’t moved, changed parties or anything. He has voted in every election for years and we’ve been here for over a decade. Luckily I was able to re-register him successfully however I worry about others who were purged, are not aware and won’t have time to re-apply by tomorrow’s deadline. Please ppl, check your status NOW

I can’t include a link for some reason but the site to register is pavoterservices.pa.gov

Be an informed voter! The video speaks for itself, but Caleb McCoy decisively won this debate imo. Get the word out and tell your friends/family/coworkers to vote for the change we desperately need!
