The budget includes $10 million in the first dedicated state funding for 988, the National Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, following three consecutive years of state investments in student and community mental health.

It also provides $5 million for walk-in behavioral health crisis stabilization centers, with priority given to communities that have limited access to immediate in-person care.

A member of the group "ICE OUT of Upper Bern," which is opposed to the plans, is celebrating the news.

"We just want to thank all the people in "ICE OUT Upper Bern." We got support from all over. It's not just Upper Bern watershed, Tulpehocken watershed, people are all affected by this or would have been," said Richard Cattermole with ICE OUT UPPER BERN.

"The federal governments just gonna roll right over you. Nobody here can do anything. We got together," Cattermole said. "We got support from outside Delaware River keepers. Different people noticed and helped out and I think we had something to do with it."

U.S. Reps. Summer Lee and Chris Deluzio, two Pittsburgh-area Democrats, toured the 1,900-bed detention center on Thursday as tensions escalate over the conditions in ICE facilities.

I had to recently drive through PA, did a trip from Virginia -> Allentown -> Honsdale -> NY

The back road speed limit signs were all over 25, 35 45... In weird places. The thing that gets me though is almost ALL of the locals just speed like crazy! I'm following the speed limit on the high way cruising along at 55. Getting passed by hicks going way way over the speed limit. Flying past me. (And tailgating... Think that is happening all over now-days...)

Is this common in PA, just fuck speed limits?

According to a social media post from the police department, Officer Stom was off duty at a local Bethlehem gas station. Stom noticed an elderly woman on the phone at a bitcoin machine who appeared visibly distressed.

Trusting his instincts, he recognized the warning signs of a potential Crypto scam and approached her to check on her well-being.

Thanks to his quick thinking and proactive intervention, Officer Stom was able to stop the victim from sending the full amount of money to the scammers, preventing further financial loss. Police say he then ensured that an on-duty officer responded to properly document the incident.

While these agreements predate the second Trump administration by years or even decades, they are receiving new attention as the president executes a mass deportation campaign that relies heavily on local partners.

The action came as No ICE Philly and allied pro-immigrant groups launched “A Week of Action Against ICE and Collaborators,” seeking to bring attention to ongoing immigration arrests.
