HARRISBURG, August 7, 2025 – Attorney General Dave Sunday announced the first action under “Operation Robocall Roundup,” a multistate effort by the Anti-Robocall Litigation Task Force to crack down on robocalls across Pennsylvania and nationwide. Attorney General Sunday joined 50 bipartisan Attorneys General in sending warning letters to 37 voice providers demanding that they immediately stop illegal robocalls being routed through their networks. “Robocalls are not just an annoyance; many of them are illegal. Robocalls are often a tool used by scammers to take advantage of the most vulnerable Pennsylvanians,” Attorney General Sunday said. “Illegal robocalls will not be tolerated in the Commonwealth, and I am proud to stand with my colleagues to announce action that we expect will result in federal investigations, and, ultimately, fewer of these calls.” Consumers…

When we think about our lives—the life we’re living right now, the life we once had, and the life we dream of—our emotions can range from hope to sadness, from gratitude to frustration. Some of us are optimistic about the future, while others feel weighed down by the past. Some may be battling depression or uncertainty. And yet, through it all, one unshakable truth remains: we are still here. We still have life. And life, in all its twists and turns, is worth enjoying. The beautiful thing about joy is that it doesn’t have to come from big, flashy moments. You don’t need a lavish vacation or a milestone celebration to experience true happiness. In fact, many of the richest joys come from the simplest moments—a quiet walk in the…

Dr. Richard H. Harris Jr. was born on August 22, 1918, in Montgomery, Alabama, to Richard Henry Harris Sr. and Evelyn Jones Harris.

Perhaps it is time to consider forming a third political party seriously. Of late, both parties have failed us miserably. They both spend money like drunken sailors without paying for their extravaganzas. They each blame the other for all the bad and try to take credit for all the good. They both hide the truth and have given us broken promises. For instance, Democrats proclaimed that former President Joe Biden’s cognitive abilities were good. Really? We saw the debate and other mental blunders with our own eyes. And when Biden said, “We need Congress to help close the border” – well, no. Upon his return to office, President Donald Trump closed the border with Mexico in a flash, in the time it would take to drink a cup of coffee.…

Monica Crowley, a former Fox News personality who is now Trump’s chief of protocol, apparently left behind in a public area of an Alaskan hotel documents describing confidential planned movements of Trump and Putin during their Friday meeting in Alaska. That’s nothing compared to Emil Bove, Trump’s new nominee for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, who reputedly told subordinates at the Department of Justice that they should ignore any court order blocking the deportations of Venezuelan migrants declared to be gang members. Then there’s Billy Long, a former auctioneer and Republican congressman who Trump nominated less than two months ago to head the Internal Revenue Service, with little background in tax policy beyond promoting a fraud-riddled tax credit. Long has already been fired after clashing with…
