Eagles win in a somewhat ugly (but also reassuring!) game against a more-formidable-than-expected Washington Commies team. We’re 1-0 and it’s a good start. Plenty to work on but it’s a marathon not a sprint.

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro has signed an emergency disaster proclamation ahead of the snow storm expected in the Keystone State this weekend, freeing up some $3 Million for emergency response and clearing some red tape for state agencies related to the weather event.

A very deflating loss to end the #Eagles season. A lot will be said about Elliott or the drop but to me the most telling this about this season is how much more prepared one side of the ball looked than the other—pretty much throughout. The play calling must be addressed.

A big crowd full of Josh Shapiro supporters and union workers are at the Alan Horowitz “Sixth Man” Center in Philadelphia for the second of the Democratic governor’s re-election campaign rallies. Sen. Vincent Hughes is working the room ahead of Shapiro’s remarks. @wgal8.bsky.social

This should go without saying but do not call 911 to test if it works. If service is restored, testing calling 911 without a real emergency will jam up lines and require follow-ups from operators.

Spotted this at the Pennsylvania Governor’s Residence: several large trees have been cut down around the property as it undergoes security upgrades following the arson there earlier this year.
