Its time that lawmakers, educational institutions, entertainment industries, businesses and society as a whole stop acting like women (ocer 50% of our workforce) and our specific needs, wants and desires are ‘problematic.’ 👇🏼 newsfromthestates.com/articl…

Great news and I am hoping Pennsylvania is next with my bill HB 2713 palegis.us/legislation/bills…
This has been something people have been talking about forever, and just like that it got done.

The horse carriage industry is coming to an end in New York City. Our administration will make sure workers and owners are protected and the horses are safe.

Personally, I believe both men are desperately seeking attention. Their behavior warrants an ethics investigation.
My thoughts on the inappropriate conduct in Harrisburg this week. I've also posted a link to the joint statement by the PA Equality Caucus and Legislative Black Caucus in the comments below. ⬇

I’m begging men to shut the fuck up.
Colorado GOP nominee for governor, Victor Marx, laughs as he recounts a violent fight with his wife: "I remember grabbing her, slamming her into our front door. She bent over and started crying."

The lack of respect from my colleagues across the aisle when it comes to our work force is astounding.
Here's @PaHouseGOP Rep. Scott Barger talking about how he won't hire women with menopause if his company had to provide accommodations for women who are menopausal or premenopausal. (can't believe I had to type this)

So I said in the remarks below that I look forward to more Menopause bills moving in the PA House and we did it! We moved 7 bills at our first No Time for Pause Menopause rally and day yesterday. @PAHDCC #notimeforpause #MenoNews #menopause
It's shocking how much misinformation is out there surrounding perimenopause & menopause. That’s why I support HB 807, introduced by @RepHanbidge, which would provide funding for perimenopause & menopause healthcare education. #WomensHealth

Looking forward to creating some noise around substative, legislation. Join me for ‘No Time for Pause’ rally.
Menopause affects over half the population and yet it remains one of the most under-researched health transitions. Women deserve better care, education, and treatment. I am partnering with my colleagues to raise awareness for menopause because there's #NoTimeForAPause.

A Democracy legend. @RepMcClinton
Tonight let us recognize Speaker Joanna McClinton, who for 42 months held together an ideologically diverse Democratic caucus to maintain a one-vote majority in the PA House. Surely one of the most talented legislative leaders in the country. Finally she has some breathing room.

Sometimes we need to keep people safe from our furry but wild animal friends. 🦁🦭
Citing social media trends, state Rep. Melissa Shusterman (D, Chester) wants to prohibit entering a zoo animal enclosure under Pennsylvania trespass law. Her planned bill would also cover certain associated costs, like veterinary care and enclosure repairs.

Been reading @X but not posting lately. The majority of posts are of men - of a certain age- defending, loving and caring so much about @realDonaldTrump feelings and perception. It is like witnessing a one sided courtship.

MAGA is absolutely SEETHING today after Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani delivers yet another campaign promise—while they are still waiting for Trump to fulfill his first. Mayor Mamdani is overhauling New York City Transit, returning 48 hours of travel time per year to New Yorkers. That’s two entire days on a bus eliminated every year. Here’s what the updates include: • New rapid bus corridors reserved exclusively for buses. • Replacement of 40% of the aging fleet with brand-new vehicles. (2,500+ new buses) • Fast-response dedicated teams assigned to each borough. • All-door boarding. • 100 new bus stop shelters. • New benches and leaning bars installed at 875 bus stops. • Guaranteed seating at every bus stop. • New trees and protective covers at every bus stop to shield passengers from the elements.

Do you have a Grumpy Grandpa who claims he worked harder than everyone else? Anerica does.
Trump: "Guys like me built the country. I watch all these ingrates, they're always complaining, complaining. They didn't build anything, they couldn't build anything. Look at what's happened in Minnesota. Somalia."
