Today, at least 8 Pa. state Senators in GOP caucus literally posted the same exact message about #MLKDay apparently copy-and-pasting a message from another Republican about “peaceful activism” and citizens not being judged by the “color of their skin.” pghcitypaper.com/pittsburgh/mul…
2 Pittsburgh-area Democrats, @SummerForPA and @RepAustinDavis, called out GOP for the inauthentic posts about one of the most celebrated civil rights advocate. "When you have the day off and still couldn't be bothered to draft a unique message" tweeted Lee pghcitypaper.com/pittsburgh/mul…

Practically every inch under Florida is under water. The limestone bedrock beneath Florida is porous and basically all underwater caves, and can’t support tunnels. Level of naivety is astounding.
This is apparently only one true tunnel in all of Florida and it may be the shortest tunnel in the world. This took 5 seconds of googling
Found another tunnel, it goes under the ocean, which would probably be easier than going under Florida bedrock, but people don’t live in the ocean. Still there are only 2 tunnels in Florida en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_Miam…

Results of PA-45 were much much closer, and the challenge to mail-in ballots much more narrow, but from birds-eye view, what the PA GOP is doing has the same optics as Trump's fruitless challenge. It's saying GOP wanting to win is more important than actually winning elections.
Vast majority of Pennsylvanians and others are only going to learn about this PA-45 story right now. Because this was a circus, and the lesson the laypeople will take away is that if the GOP loses close races, they will just not abide by them.
Merits have already been argued in many courts, and the challenges failed. Mail-in ballots turned in on-time & properly (but lacked signatures on declaration envelop) were ruled to be counted. But since GOP didn't like the ruling, they just won't listen. That's the message

NEW: Allegations of sexual misconduct, emotional abuse and manipulation of college students abound against former Post-Gazette journalist Mike Fuoco. But despite warnings, the universities in charge of protecting students didn’t do much to stop him. pghcitypaper.com/pittsburgh/all…
Three women allege Fuoco used his status as an award-winning journalist to pressure them into sexual encounters. “He said if I didn’t do certain things he wanted me to do or if I told the truth about him, I would never work in this town,” said one woman. pghcitypaper.com/pittsburgh/all…
In mid 2000s, complaints were filed against Fuoco at Pitt. But he was still hired at Point Park in 2010. Complaints in 2011 led to PPU ending his contract. Even so, he was still partnered with a PPU student in 2012 for an internship at the Post-Gazette pghcitypaper.com/pittsburgh/all…

UPDATE: PA SD-45

Dem Brewster maintains 17 vote lead after 280 provisionals counted in Westmoreland. Assumption was these would push GOP Zicarrelli into lead

PA Supreme Court still to decide if ~300 Allegheny mail-ins will be counted, mail-ins have been breaking to Brewster
Looks like Commonwealth Court reversed the Allegheny County judge's decision to count those mail-ins. The decision is now remanded to court of common pleas. I am not sure what this means. @benwren can you explain
And we are still waiting on a few more votes from westmoreland

The British Financial Times not understanding exactly where and what Sheetz is, only outdone by its meekness in describing Pittburghers’ hatred of the Dallas Cowboys
“These car parks are grand at the Iowa Sheetz, where I love to grab a cuppa and some doughnuts”
“Sir, excuse me sir, I wanted to elaborate that your American Football squad is not good, not very good at all.”

Western Pa state Sen Camera Bartolotta (R-Monongahela) musing about how we need all restaurants to stay open because “the creation of our country started at pubs in merry old England”
Is, is Sen. Bartolotta a loyalist?
Oh hey, here is a story about Bartolotta and other SW Pa politicians who support fracking with votes and have direct sources of income from fracking companies pghcitypaper.com/pittsburgh/the…
