The @PAHealthDept confirmed 2,751 additional cases of COVID-19 since yesterday, a daily increase comparable with what we saw in April 2020, and today’s increase being THE largest daily increase to date. Whatever alternate reality the White House is living in isn't helping. — PolitiTweet.org

While in the Commonwealth yesterday, President Trump threatened to retaliate against our Governor by withholding funding from our people. This is textbook autocratic behavior. This is not presidential. This is not normal. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

While I pray for the families and loved ones of these lost souls, thoughts and prayers are not enough. I will continue to fight for commonsense gun reform and recommit to never turning a blind eye to anti-Semitism, racism and bigotry. Hate has no place in our Nation. — PolitiTweet.org

Irving Younger, 69, volunteered at the synagogue and taught classes on current events at the local community center. He loved Pittsburgh sports and showing pictures of his kids and grandkids.

Melvin Wax, 87, was a veritable fixture at the Tree of Life synagogue as a member of the New Light Congregation. He knew the synagogue like the back of his hand. He went Friday night, Saturday and Sunday, and if somebody didn’t show to lead, he led services himself. https://t.co/e36FmxKLqO — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Stein, 71, was born and raised in Pittsburgh and is remembered for his generosity and kindness. At the time of the shooting, Daniel was a new grandfather, and was known to talk extensively of his joys of being a grandparent. https://t.co/9puysP3gYn — PolitiTweet.org

Bernice and Sylvan Simon, 84 and 86, were remembered as a sweet, kind couple, together for 62 years up until their lives were taken. They were deeply in love with each other and persevered in the tragic loss of a son in 2010. Their lives ended in the same temple they were wed. https://t.co/0dhaxRen2J — PolitiTweet.org

Achieva's vice president of residential supports released a statement saying that “David was so kind and had such a gentle spirit. Together, [the brothers] looked out for one another. Most of all, they were kind, good people with a strong faith and respect for everyone around.” https://t.co/dyIWnYXfam — PolitiTweet.org

Cecil Rosenthal, 59, and his brother David, 54, were fixtures at the synagogue, attending services since they were young boys. Cecil loved to greet people at the door of the synagogue before services “not out of obligation, but out of joy,” as USA Today reported. https://t.co/nz2CKNkujo — PolitiTweet.org

PGH Dr. Jerry Rabinowitz’s, 66, trademark was his bow tie, which he always wore with a big smile. During the HIV crisis, Jerry was known for keeping those sick with the virus alive the longest. He held his patients’ hands without gloves. He hugged them when the world shunned them https://t.co/iPRPVVPxut — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

97-year-old Rose Mallinger was regularly seen walking in the neighborhood or grocery shopping and had attended service for decades, almost without fail. She was always among the first to arrive. In her younger years, her & her sister would often prepare breakfast for congregants. https://t.co/dG9m86ZBOM — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

Like his father and grandfather, Richard Gottfried, 65, took his faith seriously, regularly attending Saturday services as a member of the New Light Congregation. He and his wife had just celebrated their 38th wedding anniversary and were looking forward to retiring. https://t.co/PoHOox0H49 — PolitiTweet.org

Joyce Fienberg, 75, was known as a magnificently caring, generous and thoughtful person. According to WaPo, friends remember her as "a people person, always smiling and with a extended hand...never forgot anyone’s birthday. She was always available for whatever one might need.” https://t.co/Im448tZp9r — PolitiTweet.org

Two years ago today, we witnessed the most deadly act of violence against the Jewish community in American history. I stand with Pittsburgh & Jewish communities across Pennsylvania & the U.S. to remember & honor the victims of the Tree of Life synagogue. These are their stories: — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

My thoughts and prayers are with the Wallace family and all of those who are grieving, the 30 police officers who were injured in the line of duty yesterday, and the people of West Philadelphia. /9 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

The unrest in Philadelphia overnight is demonstrative of a community in pain and asking for justice. I am listening, and I will continue to fight to reform our systems. /8 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

My bill will create a permanent review board to examine every violent interaction between law enforcement & people with disabilities, & also provide new resources for people in mental health crises as well as specific training for law enforcement to appropriately respond to them. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

It is long past time to reform a system that has been broken for far too long and cost far too many lives. In the coming days, I will be introducing legislation to change how the police interact with people with disabilities and those experiencing a mental health crisis. /6 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

Walter Wallace Jr.’s life mattered. His death is a tragedy and another failure of our systems of policing and criminal justice. We have to change how police and law enforcement respond to these situations, and we can start by passing the Justice in Policing Act of 2020. /5 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

...rather than firing a dozen shots, especially when a victim may be in mental distress. There are no simple answers, but as long as people of color keep dying unnecessarily at the hands of police, we must keep searching for solutions and striving for systemic change. /4 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

Police officers have difficult, dangerous jobs that require quick decisions with long-term consequences. We must find ways to protect the safety of everyone involved in these critical situations and to de-escalate them... /3 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

I have spoken with Mayor Kenney and Police Commissioner Outlaw to express my concern about what I saw on video of Mr. Wallace’s last moments. There must be a swift and truly independent investigation into the circumstances surrounding Mr. Wallace’s death. /2 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

I am saddened and disturbed at the loss of another Black man, Walter Wallace Jr., at the hands of the police. My heart is with the Wallace family and the West Philadelphia community that Walter called home. /1 — PolitiTweet.org

The voters casting ballots in record numbers will make it clear that the American people oppose this cynical, pernicious attempt to accomplish corporate court packing after Congressional Republicans failed to destroy the ACA by way of legislation. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

This same Senate majority refused to pass robust relief for tens of millions suffering from the impact of COVID-19 and the economic trauma that followed. Our Nation is in the middle of a presidential election in which more than 60 million Americans have already voted. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

Republican Senators have rammed through a Justice to cast the deciding vote to strike down the Affordable Care Act (ACA) that ensures children with disabilities and complex medical needs receive the therapies and care they need. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

This evening's U.S. Supreme Court confirmation vote means that 1 million Pennsylvanians are one step closer to having their health care coverage ripped away and 5.3 million Pennsylvanians are one step closer to losing legal protections for their pre-existing conditions. — PolitiTweet.org

“The Trump administration is fighting in federal court to block states from giving billions of dollars in emergency food stamps to the lowest-income Americans during the coronavirus crisis.” That really says it all, doesn’t it? https://t.co/7jGDuoefHx — PolitiTweet.org
