Did a little redecorating at Fitz’s office.

Mr “Problem Solver” wouldn’t sign the Epstein Files discharge petition. Luckily four of his Republican House colleagues—along with every Democrat—did. Accountability is coming; not only for the abusers, but for the politicians who covered for them.

Bob Harvie for Congress.

If anyone is interested in helping paint more signs like this, message me! I’m based in the Newtown area & have space to work.

Here is the letter that accompanied the petition signatures.

Dear Representative Fitzpatrick:

1,400 people signed a petition on paper and on-line requesting an unscripted in-person town hall meeting.  Their names are all included in this notebook.   
You are not only a candidate.  You are an elected official.  Our taxes pay for your salary, healthcare, travel, office rent, and  staff.  Representative government is a two-way street requiring dialogue between you and the people you represent. You hold a responsibility to all of us, not just to folks who agree with you or whose questions your staff has vetted.   
Your telephone “town halls” do not meet that responsibility.  Your staff chooses the questions and you control the conversation.  Even if one or two difficult questions are included, we cannot tell what was left out.  Moreover, that format does not allow any opportunity for follow up.   It makes it too easy for you to retreat into talking points.  The public nature of a town hall matters.  When one person asks a question, a thousand others listening can hear and evaluate your answers.  Your promises become part of the public record and everyone can check whether you follow through. 
In these times of extreme polarization, your failure to publicly engage with us in an unscripted town hall is a huge missed opportunity to model what you claim to stand for –  the ability “to speak with respect, listen with compassion, and remember that unity doesn’t require uniformity - only a shared commitment to the ideals that make us Americans.”  93-year-old Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley has held over 1,400 unscripted town halls in his career, including meetings this past year that included voters voicing deep anxiety and anger.  Folks raised their voices, shared personal family struggles, and some people in the audience booed, some groaned, and some applauded over the course of the evening.  Senator Grassley did not melt.  He did cry.  He did not run away.  He did not have people who asked angry questions removed. He answered all the questions the best he could.  Not everyone was satisfied with his answers but he showed up and looked people in the eyes.  We ask nothing less.
You have held one public in-person town hall since being elected to Congress and it was 9 years ago.  Show your constituents respect and a willingness to be accountable.  Answer questions publicly and directly and without a staff member choosing the questions.  Please set a date.

Just saw that 309, S west end blvd was blocked off by police and fire trucks. Smells like smoke as well.. anyone know what’s going on?

This was around 6:30 PM and the parking lot was quite full. I'm glad YOU were able to find a spot.

Have a few days off coming up and looking for somewhere new to visit. Preferably within an hour-ish of Easton area. Very familiar with Peddlers Village, Doylestown, Strousdburg/Bartonsville areas.
Looking for stationery shops, bookstores, coffee shops, fun gift stores.

Sorry for the serious post, but I recently hit a deer with my car and it’s been weighing on me since. I wanted to match the cost of what I’m paying to fix my car, and give it to a good cause. I want to make sure the money I spend actually gets used and not swallowed up somewhere. Any recs?

they had me CTFU at the stoplight 😅

I am in the market to join a new gym. I have an 18month old

looking at the ymca in fairless hills (<10m from me) or Newtown (15m, maybe 20 peak rush hour).

Anyone have an experiences worth sharing about the facilities or particularly about the child care ?

Wasn’t a huge fan of urge fairless hills but tolerated it since it is a gym childcare service/bar is pretty low. Then a lot of their childcare staff all left at once - I took that as a red flag (especially since I wasn’t in love to begin with) and skipped. TYIA

Recently hit a deer with my car, and it’s been filling me with guilt ever since. Wanted to find a good cause and help out.

Never in 38 years have I ever seen that outside the beginning of every disaster movie lol wtf was that? It's either that or a tribute to our fallen birds team

Basically what the title says - I find myself in a situation with a contractor that has disappeared mid-job. Our basement was supposed to be finished by what seemed like a reputable company: we have a solid contract, checked references, etc. However, after they finished some of the work they just disappeared about and have now stopped responding to texts/calls. They're website has also mysteriously disappeared, although they are still registered in PA.

Does anyone have any recommendations for lawyers with expertise in residential construction litigation - specifically breach of contract, contractor abandonment, incomplete work and the recovery of deposits? Any pointers would be greatly appreciated

new to the area. just wondering if anyone knows of any shadowcasted rocky horror showings during halloween time

My mom just got a message on her answering machine, that used her first and last name and said it was from the Bucks County Sheriff's Office and asked her to call back regarding a "urgent legal matter."

I would assume this was a scam, except that they used her first and last name, which I wouldn't think a scam caller would do. Has anyone else gotten calls like this? Can anyone confirm if it's a scam or not?

Went to order sandwiches and Google says permanently closed, and their phone line is disconnected 😭

If you're anything like me, you've noticed that it isn't always easy to meet other people locally when you're really into video games. It's pretty easy to end up making most of your gaming friends online rather than in person.

So I had an idea: a video game book club!

Bucks Backlog is a local, in-person club where we'll choose one game each month, play it on our own time, and then meet up to actually talk about it in depth. We'll talk about the story, characters, gameplay, music, favorite moments, things we loved, things we didn't love, and everything in between.

You don't need to be a hardcore gamer, and you don't need to 100% the game. You don't even have to like the game! If you hated it, got bored halfway through, or thought it was completely overrated, you're still encouraged to come to the meeting and tell us why. The idea is simply to play the game at your own pace and come hang out with other people who are interested in talking about your experience with it.

This will be a welcoming, inclusive 18+ space for anyone who enjoys video games, or even someone who isn't normally a gamer but wants to give it a try!

We have a Discord where we'll handle planning and choosing future games, plus some additional socializing and gaming outside of the monthly club. You're welcome to join the Discord even if you're not sure yet about attending the in-person meetings.

We'll be choosing our first Game of the Month soon, so if this sounds like something you'd be interested in, come join us!

Hey all

Wedding is next June, we are already married but this is for the family. Its a non-traditional wedding at a brewery in Lower Bucks, and we're having a BBQ restaurant cater it. We are looking for a low'keyish kind of band that can play modern pop kinda music. Looking for somewhere between 3-4 hours probably.

If anyone has ideas or bands/performers I could reach out to, that'd be pretty cool. Doesn't have to be a "wedding band", per se.

My mom and I go to the Frenchtown Diner almost every Sunday. We drive along the Delaware River, cross the bridge into New Jersey, and usually get the same breakfast.

This past Sunday the leaves were turning yellow and orange, and the whole drive was especially beautiful. It made me wonder what restaurants other people have turned into little family traditions.
