The Pennsylvania affiliate of the Working Families Party has launched a website, PrimaryFetterman.com, as part of its campaign to unseat Senator John Fetterman.

The Working Families Party aims to train potential candidates, recruit volunteers, and solicit donations to achieve their goal.

Pennsylvania Lawmaker Seeks to Close Whites-Only Community’s Housing Discrimination “Loophole”

Pennsylvania State Representative Ben Waxman introduced a bill to ensure that discriminatory housing developments, such as the whites-only community Return to the Land, are explicitly illegal in the state. The bill is a response to Return to the Land’s efforts to revive segregated housing, which, according to some legal experts, may violate the Fair Housing Act. Waxman’s bill aims to prevent any ambiguity by clarifying that the “private club” exemption does not apply to organizations that discriminate based on race, color, national origin, or ancestry, thereby closing potential loopholes. While current law prohibits racial discrimination in housing, the legislation seeks to reinforce this and eliminate any room for misinterpretation.

Instead of directly addressing economic issues, Trump launched into a series of unrelated tangents, criticizing political rivals and making controversial remarks. Despite promoting “lower prices, bigger paychecks,” the former president’s claims regarding economic conditions were often unsupported by evidence, while polls indicated that voters, including Trump supporters, hold him accountable for rising prices. Furthermore, his economic policies have been criticized for their impact on areas such as tariffs and the cost of healthcare.
