Giving back

Look inside for opportunities to give back on Thanksgiving.   John, to me, Thanksgiving isn’t just about giving thanks for all we’re grateful for — though that’s an important part of it. It’s also about giving back to our communities. When I think of giving back, I think of MANNA, …

We have a problem

But we can solve it. Together.   John, we have a problem: Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans are so dead-set on taking back the Senate majority that, this year alone, they’ve poured $70 million into defeating strong Democrats like Val in battleground states like Pennsylvania. V…
