AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Primary Politics: With Pennsylvania’s May 19 vote days away, the biggest political story is still the national one: Trump is openly pressuring GOP Sen. Bill Cassidy after Cassidy voted to convict him, a reminder that party loyalty is being enforced like a campaign weapon. Pennsylvania Elections: In the Philly suburbs, AOC is rallying for State Rep. Chris Rabb in PA-3, while the state police are also dealing with the fallout from threats against lawmakers and new notification rules. Public Safety: Pennsylvania State Police say a “political violence threat unit” is coming, after a “hit list” case exposed gaps in how threats were relayed to targeted legislators. Healthcare & Medicaid: New local Medicaid billing figures show rising costs across the state—Levittown’s evaluation/management claims hit $1.2M in 2024, and multiple communities saw big jumps in supplies, lab, and treatment categories. Data Centers Backlash: A statewide town hall again showed fierce opposition to the data center boom, with residents calling it a “bulldozing” rush and lawmakers weighing new limits.
