    Democrats to control Pennsylvania House after special election sweep

    Democrats are firmly in control of the body, capping off a dramatic reordering of the commonwealth’s politics. Gov. Josh Shapiro, a Democrat, was elected in a landslide last year and Democratic US Sen. John Fetterman flipped the seat previously held by Republican Sen. Pat Toomey. By winning the state House, Democrats will enjoy greater influence in crafting Pennsylvania’s all-important budget bill. Their victories also laid down another marker ahead of the 2024 elections

    Good for Pennsylvania for moving to the left.

    But don't worry, RB...they will help the people on the right also. They are not savages like the people on the right are.

    Moving to the left? Well, we do have the shithole they call Philadelphia. Democrat run, crime ridden...
    I don't need help, Frank. I busted my ass my whole life, sometimes working 18 hrs. a day so I wouldn't need help. Why can't others do the same?

    I have worked and been my sole source of support from age 17 on, RB. (Now I also receive Social Security. I have worked hard...and given every employer I've lhad the amount of work they want because that is the right thing to do...and an extra 10% - 20% because that is what I must do to feel good about myself.

    So?

    There are shitholes run by Republicans just as there are shitholes run by Democrats.

    That will continue for the RepubliClowns.

    Judge Juan M. Merchan wrote that Trump “appears to take the position that his situation and this case are unique and that the pre-trial publicity will never subside. However, this view does not align with reality.”

    Want to bet that Pennsylvania continues its slide into impoverishment as a result, that even accelerating?
