His losses totaled nearly $2 million, according to the lawsuit. Desperate and feeling like he could not confess the scope of his financial ruin to his family, Thompson texted his therapist, who then contacted the police. Officers raced to Thompson's home and prevented him from harming himself. Balsam said Thompson's tragic story should give sports leagues and its players pause.
Peco's latest offer, according to Larry Anastasi, president and business manager of IBEW Local 614, would give call center workers a lower wage increase than the rest of the union members. According to the union, 98% of call center workers are women. "We will not accept a contract that undercuts the women of our union," Anastasi said in a statement. The company's current offer, the union said, would bring an average annual wage increase of 3.5% for non-call center workers, between 2027 and 2031. Call center workers would receive 3% annual wage increases in the same time frame. To Anastasi, that is unacceptable.

Decades later, prosecutors in Krasner's office, in seeking to vacate his death sentence, suggested in court that the victims family backed their effort.

A panel of federal judges found that Nancy Winkelman was complicit in efforts to mislead a federal judge while seeking to overturn the death sentence of a man convicted of killing an East Mount Airy couple in the 198os and allow him to serve life in prison instead. The ruling, made public this week, adds to the mounting judicial scrutiny of post-conviction work in Krasner's office.

DeWine, who faces a term limit in December, said he felt compelled to share his observations now, having had 50 years of experience with the issue from the time he was a young county prosecutor, through being a congressman and U.S. senator, and then serving as Ohio's attorney general. But he said his outright opposition to the procedure has only crystallized over the past year.

A bluesky post about NJ police closing off the road in front of a concentration camp after ICE threw a protester under a truck.

Therefore, when the dignity of our brothers and sisters is violated, when politics fails to address the tragedies of humanity, when the economy turns against the person or science oversteps the limits of its competence, the Church - together with other Christian denominations and believers of other religions — must make her voice heard, not in order to dominate, but to promote communion.
This closeness does not stem from an intent to supplant civil institutions, much less from an implicit criticism of their work. Rather, it stems from evangelical charity, which impels the Church to draw near to the wounds of humanity whenever they surface with greater severity. When the Church intervenes, she does so following the example of the Good Samaritan, with discretion and closeness, aware that what arises from urgent necessity cannot become the norm, nor replace the institutional responsibilities proper to the civil community.
"The legal errors are unsurprising," Krasner wrote to committee Chair Jim Jordan of Ohio and Tom McClintock, chair of the subcommittee on immigration, noting that neither had passed the bar. "The factual errors are also unsurprising, given your histories of adhering to wholly repudiated, counterfactual and unscientific election denialism, climate change denialism, and the like. "Law matters. Facts matter," Krasner wrote. "I can only hope they will start to register in your careers, especially as they relate to this supposed oversight of far more qualified law enforcement personnel whose goal is to serve the public rather than to serve themselves."
The plan - which would require approval from the state, not Council - appears to have some traction in both City Hall and in Harrisburg, where, the sources said, lawmakers are examining whether a hike of the existing tax could raise the revenue the school district needs to avoid some of its more than 300 planned staff cuts.

But the recent firestorm of Hunter and his 2026 usage isn't disrespect. It has past the point of ignorance, even. At this point, it is people outside Jacksonville clearly and plainly telling us one thing: they do not actually care what the Jaguars are doing with Travis Hunter.

A paragraph from an article preparing Christmas and Easter Catholics for the weird shit Trad Caths are getting up to in the pews. Another warning sign of the coming schism. "Matthew Davis, a 28-year-old writer living in New York City, is considering seeking out a traditional Latin Mass on Christmas. "What has drawn me to Latin Masses in the past is not so much the language of Latin or the externals like the fancier incense or whatever, but concern over preserving the liturgy of Pope Pius V and doubts over the validity of the 1960s church reforms.""

But the city's commitment to myth over memory means we'd rather celebrate an underdog who never existed than acknowledge the greatness that did. We'd rather pour resources into fictionalized tourism than restore the sacred training grounds where real champions were forged. (Begin pull quote)The real history of Black accomplishment and genius in Philadelphia's boxing scene is hidden in plain sight.

The FBI's case against the suspect is not based on a new breakthrough, according to two sources, but instead on a review the FBI conducted in recent weeks of evidence that had already been gathered and which the department had in its possession. The sources requested anonymity to speak freely about a sensitive case. That voluminous trove of material was largely collected in 2021 and 2022.

Moira Donegan @moiradonegan.bsky.social Rape is the distillation of the far-right worldview that Trump embodies: a gleefully sadistic act of domination carried out as fulfillment of a supposedly natural hierarchy. It would be weird if Trump wasn't a rapist, given his ideological commitments—which is before you get to all the accusations.
