When a cargo ship took out a Baltimore bridge, it also demolished the lies poisoning our immigration debate

The 6 migrant men who died weren't drug dealers or sex traffickers but hero dads filling potholes to give their kids a better life

After a Philly cyclist was shot and paralyzed, I knew – from years of covering shooting survivors with lifelong injuries – that a tough road lie ahead. And yet, he and his daughter are finding ways to soar above the tragedy. Hope you’ll read this one. inquirer.com/opinion/philad…

As Black History Month winds down, this is your annual reminder that slaves weren't stolen from Africa. They stole scientists, doctors, architects, builders, agriculturists, teachers, fathers, mothers, sons and daughters and made them slaves.

Today's sad fact: Philly is the singlest (aka most unmarried) big city in the U.S.

Aseem Shukla and I interviewed 11 singles, 2 matchmakers, and 3 social scientists to find out why.

The answer? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯, but know: It's literally not you, it's Philly

I bet Travis Kelce said: 'Yo bro, I really like this one. She's super classy. Can you just be cool today?'

And Jason Kelce was like: 'I got you, bro,' and then went full Philly.

Biden fans who raged against 'kids today' when Gaza protesters disrupted his speech in a SC church should have applauded

We've seen protest makes Biden do better. And this campaign is about democracy, with the right to dissent under attack. My column ⬇️inquirer.com/opinion/biden-…

Our entire legislature should be ashamed.

As I've said before, we should pay any PA politician who opposes raising the minimum wage $7.25 an hour and see how quickly they change their damn minds.
