Just to clarify your point, that’s correct for PA, but it is not the same in every state. Most states allow the governor to replace the senator until a special election can be held but some have restrictions on who the governor can appoint, some require the appointee to be from the same party as the outgoing senator and some require the state house to approve the appointee. 4 states do not allow the governor to replace the senator at all and require a special election.

Never heard that either. I grew up in south jersey and then central jersey, lived in the Lehigh Valley and now Chester county and work in Lancaster. I’m gonna have to ask at work about this.

I’ve been using Tweetbot for years. It doesn’t have ads or promoted / suggested tweets in your timeline. It just shows the tweets of who you follow in chronological order, which is what I want, whereas I just opened the Twitter app and the first tweet is from 17 hours ago followed by a COD ad a tweet from 5 minutes ago and then a tweet from Elon musk, who I don’t follow, then tweet from someone I follow and then another ad. https://imgur.com/a/dBem1xd
