Investigations Continue Into Why PA Gov. Josh Shapiro's Home Was Set On Fire

Investigators are working to uncover the motive behind an arson fire over the weekend at Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro’s mansion, the latest act of political violence in the U.S. They are digging into Cody Balmer’s background after authorities said he scaled an iron security fence in the middle of the night, eluded police and set fire to the Pennsylvania governor’s mansion. He was denied bail Monday after a brief court appearance. Balmer has not entered a plea to charges that include attempted homicide, terrorism and arson. Authorities say Balmer had planned to beat Shapiro with a small sledgehammer if he encountered him early Sunday.

Records Show Gene Hackman's Wife Researched Symptoms Of Illness In Days Before Her Death

Authorities have released a lengthy investigation report detailing some of the last emails and internet searches done by Gene Hackman's wife in the days before her death. The records show she was searching the internet for information on flu-like symptoms and breathing techniques. Authorities have said Betsy Arakawa died in February of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome — a rare, rodent-borne disease. Symptoms can range from flu-like illness to severe respiratory distress. Gene Hackman is believed to have died about a week later of heart disease with complications from Alzheimer’s disease. Authorities also are expected to release more police body camera footage from the investigation as the result of a recent court order.

Arkansas and Indiana ask USDA to let them ban soda and candy from SNAP

Officials in Arkansas and Indiana moved Tuesday to ban soft drinks and candy from the program that helps low-income people pay for groceries, becoming the first states to ask the Trump administration to let them remove such items from the program long known as food stamps. Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders said her state's request is aimed at improving the health of nearly 350,000 residents who participate in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP. “It is clear that the current system encourages and subsidizes the overconsumption of unhealthy, highly processed and addictive food and beverages,” said Sanders, who announced the request at a Little Rock news conference with U.S. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins. In Indianapolis, Gov. Mike Braun was joined by U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Mehmet Oz, who leads the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, to announce sweeping changes to “put the focus back on nutrition — not candy and soft drinks.” The two states are among several taking steps to strip the purchase of certain foods that may contribute to poor health through the federal program that spent $100 billion to serve nearly 42 million Americans in 2024. The restriction has been a key goal for Rollins and Kennedy and his “Make America Healthy Again” agenda. “They changed our food system in this country so that it is poison to us,” Kennedy said Tuesday. “We can’t be a strong nation if we are not a strong people.” The Arkansas plan, which would take effect in July 2026, would exclude soda, including no- and low-calorie soda; fruit and vegetable drinks with less than 50% natural juice; “unhealthy drinks;” candy, including confections made with flour, like Kit Kat bars; and artificially sweetened candy. It also would allow participants to use benefits to buy hot rotisserie chicken, which is excluded from the program now. The Indiana change would exclude candy and soft drinks from the list of foods eligible to be paid for with SNAP benefits. Braun also issued executive orders changing work requirements for SNAP participants; reinstating income and asset verification rules; and launching a review of “improper payments and other administrative errors” to ensure that SNAP meets federal goals. Antihunger groups oppose SNAP food restrictions, saying that research shows that program participants are no more likely than other low-income Americans to buy sugary drinks or snack foods. And they say that limiting food choices undermines the autonomy and dignity of people who receive a benefit of about $187 per month — or about $6.20 per day. “They just seem to be targeting a specific population without having data that says that they are the issue or that this is going to improve,” said Gina Plata-Nino, a deputy director at the Food Research and Action Center, a nonprofit advocacy group. Trade groups representing beverage and candy makers criticized the effort, saying that they narrowly target SNAP participants. Representatives for American Beverage accused state and federal officials of “choosing to be the food police rather than take truly meaningful steps to lift people off SNAP with good-paying jobs.” Chris Gindlesperger, a spokesman for the National Confectioners Association, called the approach “misguided.” "SNAP participants and non-SNAP participants alike understand that chocolate and candy are treats – not meal replacements," Gindlesperger said. The SNAP program is run by the USDA and administered through individual states. It is authorized by the federal Food and Nutrition Act of 2008, which says that SNAP benefits can be used for “any food or food product intended for human consumption,” except alcohol, tobacco and hot foods. In general, benefits are available to households with gross income at or below 130% of the federal poverty level, or about $33,500 a year for three people. Excluding any foods would require Congress to change the law — or for states to get waivers that would let them restrict purchases, said Katie Bergh, a senior policy analyst for the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a nonpartisan research group. Over the past two decades, lawmakers in several states and from both political parties have proposed halting SNAP payments for soda, chips, ice cream and “luxury meats” like steak, as well as bottled water and decorated birthday cakes. Since 2004, there have been six previous requests for waivers, including four that were not approved, one that was withdrawn and one request that was incomplete. In rejecting the waivers, the USDA said there was no clear standard to define certain foods as unhealthy and that restrictions would be difficult to implement, complicated, costly and might not change participants' food purchases or improve health.

Palestinian Activist Expecting U.S. Citizenship Interview Arrested Instead By ICE In Vermont

A Palestinian man who led protests against the war in Gaza as a student at Columbia University has been arrested at a Vermont immigration office where he expected to be interviewed about finalizing his U.S. citizenship. Mohsen Mahdawi, a legal permanent resident who has held a green card since 2015, was detained Monday. His attorneys, who have filed a petition in federal court seeking an order barring the government from removing him from the state or country, say they do not know where he is. At Columbia, he organized campus protests of Israel’s military campaign in Gaza until March 2024. He also co-founded the Palestinian Student Union with Mahmoud Khalil, another Palestinian permanent resident of the U.S. who recently was detained by ICE.
