Ana Tiburcio won Pennsylvania House District 22 in Lehigh County, defeating Republican Robert E. Smith Jr. in a race that the party had to hold at all costs. Across the state, Jennifer Mazzocco claimed District 42 in Allegheny County, beating Republican Joseph Leckenby in the South Hills area near Pittsburgh. Both races were called on Tuesday night, and both winners wasted no time celebrating what felt like more than just a local political victory.

I refuse to walk to the store because I took two steps and wasn't there yet. Best to cut my legs off instead.

Do you think anyone in charge would do anything without motivation? When the Dems win, we then have to push them. But they're more pushable. Embrace the progress.

Democrat leadership can never get there while they are beholden to corporate donors. They're still at the table trying to convince you not to leave your home, that they'll go get you what you need from the store yet they never actually leave the house either. They just keep you both at the table talking about what could be at the store.
