Justin Mohn testified he killed his father in self-defense, but beheaded him for practicality's sake. He wanted to use his father's head as a prop to shock patriots into helping him expunge a "deep state" conspiracy, he said. pennlive.com/crime/2025/07/…

This is a fascinating story about state Capitol protest, and how one demonstrator has - by court order - is now must literally put his money where his mouth is. Kudos to @jonpberg for feretting it out: tinyurl.com/5sra6cdu

one of my journalism hot takes is that it should be standard for reporters to include how much time they gave an agency for comment in every story. "we reached out four months ago, left eight voicemails, followed up six times via email, and we still never heard back"

It’s wild. The Blake Lively lawsuit against her costar is an absolute PR kamehameha Lively’s team basically: - gathered mountains of incriminating receipts, including emails and texts that might have been leaked by the crisis comms consultant’s former employer - waited until he thought he was in the clear, as his gloating texts showed - ambushed him with a Friday night filing and a leak to the New York Times (my bet is Lively’s lawyers briefed the NYT on deep background), resulting in a scathing investigative piece (continued)

Why we need professional journalists: @JDVance rep tells @wsj about Anna Kilgore, a Springfield OH woman whose cat went missing in August, so @Kris_Maher drives to her house. She found the cat in her basement and apologized to her Haitian neighbors.

For the first time in decades, hundreds of incarcerated people at Dauphin County Prison got to go outside Monday. The 45 minutes each person got in the rec yard is the first time the jail has offered fresh air and sunlight facility wide in ~20 years. pennlive.com/news/2024/09/i…

The press credentials they issued us. What a truly horrifying and awful day

A nauseating and traumatizing horror
