Trump focuses on immigration, crime in first-ever rally in Philadelphia
The former president painted a bleak picture of international politics.
“Our border is overrun, inflation is raging. Crime is out of control. Europe is in chaos. The Middle East is exploding. Iran is emboldened. China is on the march, and this horrible, horrible president is dragging us toward World War III,” Trump said. “We’re going to be in World War III soon.”
Trump also took on topics such as vaccine and mask mandates and critical race theory in schools, emphasizing his opposition to each. He made personal digs at Philly native and CNN anchor Jake Tapper, who will co-moderate the first presidential debate on June 27. Trump also spoke against the inclusion of transgender athletes in women’s sports.
The former president weighed in on the Pa. U.S. Senate race, throwing his support behind Republican candidate Dave McCormick, who is attempting to unseat incumbent Democrat Sen. Bob Casey.
“You have my total support and my total endorsement, and you got to win, Dave McCormick,” Trump said, calling him a “seventh-generation Pennsylvanian” and inviting McCormick on stage. McCormick returned the favor by endorsing Trump.
“We need new leadership,” McCormick said. “We need a new president in the White House that’s going to get our country back on track.”

1 escaped wildcat returned to Pennsylvania wildlife center as search for remaining 2 ramps up
One of three wildcats that escaped from a wildlife center in Berks County, Pennsylvania, earlier this week has been safely returned.
The Cricket Wildlife Center announced in a Facebook post that one of the African Servals, which escaped Wednesday, is now back at the center. The other two African Servals, have been spotted between Huffs Church, Bitting, and Delong roads and appear to be staying close together.
The center also said the Berks County Emergency Services Special Operations Group is assisting in the search for the wildcats using thermal drones. The Mighty Pawz Humane Society, is also helping the wildlife center repair the enclosures.
The wildcats’ enclosures were damaged during Wednesday night’s windstorm, which toppled a tree onto their pen and allowed them to escape.
According to a post on social media, the three wildcats are the wildlife center’s last three from its time doing cat rescues.
The wildlife center says the wildcats are old and are not a danger to humans or pets.
“Please do not harm them,” the wildlife center wrote on Facebook.
The wildlife center is asking anyone in the Alburtis or Berks County area who spots the animals to call them at 717-381-9893.

LIHEAP is delayed in Pa. due to the government shutdown. Here are other resources for energy bills
Do you know of a resource we should include in this guide? Drop us a note.
Pennsylvania has delayed its Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program, or LIHEAP, to December due to the federal government shutdown, which has held up millions of dollars in federal funding the state usually uses to run the program.
This leaves Pennsylvanians waiting longer for help paying their heating bills, buying fuel or fixing broken heaters.
Gov. Josh Shapiro announced Wednesday his administration had secured commitments from Pennsylvania utility companies not to shut off service for low-income customers during November.
While utility customers impacted by the delay will not lose service, if they fall behind on their bills, they could face termination in the spring when the state’s winter shutoff moratorium ends. What’s more, people who heat their homes with fuel oil are not protected by these shutoff bans.
State utility regulators are urging customers struggling with bills to call their utilities early to ask about assistance options and payment plans.
With LIHEAP delayed, here are other resources to help heat your Pennsylvania home.
