With no state funding commitment in place #SEPTA must move forward with 20% service reductions and a 21.5% fare increase. Ten days from now—on August 24— vehicles across our Bus and Metro network will run less frequently and with 32 fewer bus routes. On September 1 base transit fares will rise to $2.90 and Regional Rail fares will increase by 21.5%. Regional Rail service cuts begin September 2. State lawmakers are still negotiating a budget for Pennsylvania and funding for SEPTA is still on the table. If that funding is approved—we will work as quickly as possible to reverse the service cuts but it would take time for us to do so. The service cuts are the first of several steps SEPTA will take this year to fill a $213 million budget deficit—absent a legislative solution. Additional measures include a second wave of service cuts on January 1, 2026 that include the elimination of five Regional Rail Lines, a 9PM curfew on all rail services, and the elimination of 18 additional bus routes to achieve an overall 45% reduction in service. We understand that these measures will cause great hardship for our riders and for the city and Southeastern region as a whole. These cuts are new territory for all of us. We will keep fighting to bring service back and deliver the SEPTA that our riders, city, and region deserve. There is still time to make your voice heard. Please ask Governor Shapiro and your PA State Senator and Representative to support new funding for public transit. wwww.septa.org/fundingcrisis/… #ISEPTAPHILLY #HowWeRoll #FundSEPTA

Mayor Parker's last known offer was for a 3yr deal with raises of 2.75%, 3%, and 3%. Boulware was "in the neighborhood" of 5% per year. The final deal is 3 years with 3% raises each year -- very close to what the mayor wanted.

More than 13,0000 of you voted to name our female Galapagos tortoise hatchlings, and the results are in: meet Dorothy, Rose, Blanche & Sophia—named after the Golden Girls! 🐢💛 In addition, our tortoise painting auction raised $10,500 for our conservation fund. Thank you all! 💕

A White House official confirms to me that @Eagles quarterback @JalenHurts will not be visiting the White House when the Super Bowl champions come later this afternoon. The White House says Hurts and other players who can’t attend had “scheduling conflicts.”

Jalyx Hunt has been fined $5,690 by the NFL for “unsportsmanlike conduct” for this bow-and-arrow sack celebration during the Super Bowl, citing it as a “violent gesture.”

I love this: #Eagles RB Saquon Barkley spotted the team’s ball boy in the crowd and pulled him over the fence to celebrate in the Super Bowl parade. So awesome. (via @SamStafff, @WTTWP0dcast)

Elon Musk’s team on Friday entered the headquarters of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau on Friday, sources tell us. Three Musk allies are listed as "senior advisers" in the staff directory at the CFPB now. CFBP staff is "mad as hell." w/ @KatyODonnell_

Elon Musk thinks he can rewrite the rules of government to serve himself. The @DeptOfWorkers is here to make sure working people’s voices are heard.

🚨Sources tell me that DOGE is going after the Department of Labor next. DOL workers have been ordered to give DOGE access to anything they want—or risk termination. “We’re supposed to stop everything we’re doing and do whatever the DOGE kids ask…It feels dirty and illegal.”

friendly reminder that the best case scenario over the coming years is that a lot of people say "I supported Trump but this isn't what I wanted at all" and when they do that it's gonna be really, really important that we say "welcome in," not "fuck you, we told you so"
