Today’s @PhillyInquirer…
Owned by the non-partisan, non-profit @lenfestinst Institute for Journalism, the 190-year old Philadelphia Inquirer expresses its editorial views without fear or favor. And we’re proud that they do.

Hey, Philly: The events of the past week in American journalism should make you celebrate the nonprofit ownership of your daily newspaper. All hail the @lenfestinst’s ownership of the @PhillyInquirer! No billionaire cowardice here!

"The swingiest." Pa. voters aren't undecided. They know exactly what they're doing. Here's what's really going on. Pay attention, New Jersey. inquirer.com/opinion/comment…

135 days til the first Grapefruit League spring training game. A heartbreaking end to the 2024 season, with anemic offense and a bullpen collapse, and my 8-year-old sobbing, but I won't take the joy they gave me for granted. A long offseason awaits...

The Fourth of July is about celebrating the big, bold, inclusive experiment that is our American democracy. And it has always been an experiment. Our democracy has never been guaranteed, which means we can’t take it for granted. We need to keep fighting for it, keep improving it, and keep making sure it reflects the better angels of our nature instead of the worst. That, more than anything, is what America is all about.

I have rarely been as proud of my alma mater newspaper, The Philadelphia Inquirer, as I am today. Its editorial on the presidential debate is one of the clearest, most forceful, and most bravely truthful I’ve ever read. No cheap both-sides-ism here. inquirer.com/opinion/editori…

Today I met Mr. Benjamin Berry. Mr. Berry is a WWII veteran, and, like my late father, fought in the Battle of the Bulge. At 101, he is still going strong. Please join me in thanking Mr. Berry for his service to our country.

Only three years ago, the president of @UArts took me on a tour to show off the $3 million renovation of the Philly Art Alliance. How did they get from there to bankruptcy? We’re not just losing a university, but a whole arts ecosystem. inquirer.com/education/uarts…

As a SEPTA rider, I know that Philly can’t thrive without a strong transit system. House Dems passed legislation this fall to strengthen SEPTA, but Senate Republicans failed the bring the bill up for debate or a vote. In this year’s budget, we must get SEPTA the revenue it needs!
