The private texts published by New York Magazine this week demand a public response. You dismissed the $4,000 annual healthcare burden on working families with "How should it cost? Free? I don't understand what affordability it is." You compared a nurse killed by ICE agents to Kyle Rittenhouse. You called the Epstein files a "nothing burger" while cracking jokes about Clinton. These aren't policy disagreements — they're a window into how little you think of the people you represent. Your own chief of staff just walked out the door. Current and former staffers describe themselves as "incredulous and exhausted," saying you've been "acting like a Republican" in private. A February Quinnipiac poll found only 22% of Pennsylvania Democrats approve of your job performance. Your net approval among Pennsylvania Democrats has collapsed 108 points since 2023. You floated yourself as a 2028 VP pick and a staffer's response was: "You don't do your job, you can't raise any money, and your entire party hates you." That's not opposition research — that's your own office. Pennsylvania sent you to Washington to fight for working people, not to mock their healthcare bills and sideline your legislative work. You owe your constituents a direct, public accounting of these texts — not silence.
