The House just reauthorized FISA, the spy powers bill, which allows the government to spy on you. The government shouldn't be able to spy on you without a warrant, which is why I voted NO.

On May 1, Stand Up for the Rule of Law

The first oath I took was when I was admitted to the Pennsylvania bar.

The cuts @houserepublicans.bsky.social made to SNAP benefits last summer are projected to CAUSE 70,000 PREVENTABLE DEATHS. Now, they want to lock these cuts in, to give tax cuts to the ultra-rich, while leaving millions of Americans hungry.
