What is likely to be recounted, Controller Corey O'Connor narrowly beats by 4 votes Mayor Ed Gainey for the Democratic party endorsement for mayor of Pittsburgh. Four years ago, Gainey won the endorsement when Mayor Peduto decided not to seek it.

Do you feel betrayed? That was the message to Julius Caesar in 44 BC when a soothsayer, according to Shakespeare, said, "Beware the Ides of March," meaning the 15th! Today that expression means one of betrayal.

Does President Trump play golf more than most recent presidents combined? No fake news. What's the truth? theguardian.com/us-news/2025/m…

This is so true, Clint, and very difficult for fathers to do. From birth on, we try to make our preferences theirs! Thanks for sharing.

Trump is absolutely right. This is a terrible portrait of him. But it's also very typical that he lets it bother him so much. Both politicians and journalists need much thicker skins!

Historically most American presidents get played by Russians, especially by KGB Putin. Trump is getting exploited, even though his goal of Peace in Ukraine is good. Ukraine accepts the ceasefire, but Putin does not. Why isn't Trump putting pressure on Putin as he did on Zelensky?

I recently retired & needed help in registering for Medicare cuz I couldn't master online features. Fortunately, we have a local social security office. I stopped in & saw a professional who did an excellent job of signing me up! Don't mess with this! cbsnews.com/news/trump-cha…

Attention Rep. Mike Kelly, Guy Reschenthaler, Summer Lee & Congressman Chris Deluzio! Do not let Trump/Musk disrupt telephone, online, and local office services at Social Security/Medicare. This retiree -- and I suspect others -- will remember what you do or don't do!

After Trump tariffs crater our IRAs, 401Ks, pensions & retirement plans for 62% of Americans invested in stock market, President Trump heads to Mar-a-Lago to play golf & host SuperPAC donors. Does this make political sense? cbsnews.com/news/trump-hos… via CBS News Politics

Thanks to Senator Chris Van Hollen, we know Kilmar Abrego Garcia, Maryland man allegedly illegally abducted from family & deported by ICE, is still alive in El Salvador. Now bring him back, give him his court due process, then deport him if adjudicated here illegally. #FollowTheLaw

Apparently a number of southern states still recognize Confederate Memorial Day, noting the 258,000 Confederate soldiers who died defending secession and slavery. Monday was that day in some states.

On this Memorial Day weekend, we fly our flags to remember the service men and women who gave their lives to protect this country. Over 1.1 million Americans have lost their lives in wars since the Revolution. We honor them!

Details, please. Contrary to original Nippon acquisition deal, did President Donald J. Trump negotiate a true partnership where Nippon Steel does not take over USSteel, but rather Americans run the company without Japanese veto? Perhaps we'll find out soon. KDKA United Steelworkers Union

Does what President Trump has done in Los Angeles and the assault on Senator Padilla make you more or less likely to attend one of the local NO KINGS events?

Don't miss this excellent KDKA documentary on the assassination attempt of President Donald J. Trump Donald J. Trump one year ago. It features a number of us, including yours truly, who covered the events of that day and its aftermath. Share your thoughts a year later! cbsnews.com/pittsburgh/new…
