Death Penalty Pursued in Killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO The gunman who shot down one of the most powerful healthcare executives in America may now face the death penalty. Luigi Mangione, the 26-year-old accused of murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson outside a Manhattan hotel last December, is now the target of a federal death penalty case. U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi has formally authorized federal prosecutors to pursue the death sentence—escalating the already high-stakes case into one of the most serious federal prosecutions in recent history. Mangione is currently facing both state and federal charges. The state case, being prosecuted in New York, includes murder and terrorism charges, but those come with a maximum sentence of life in prison—New York doesn't have the death penalty. That's where the federal case steps in. Federal prosecutors have charged Mangione with murder through the use of a firearm, which is a capital-eligible offense. According to Bondi, this wasn't just a murder — it was a public execution. “Luigi Mangione's murder of Brian Thompson — an innocent man and father of two young children — was a premeditated, cold-blooded assassination that shocked America,” she said in a statement. She cited the public nature of the killing, the alleged ideological motive, and the potential danger to others nearby as key reasons for pursuing the death penalty. The attack was chilling in its precision. Just before dawn on December 4th, Thompson left his Midtown hotel and began walking toward the Hilton across the street, where UnitedHealthcare was hosting its annual investor conference. He didn't make it far. Authorities say Mangione, wearing a mask and waiting in ambush, approached and opened fire — in the middle of Manhattan, with commuters and conference attendees all around. When investigators later recovered ammunition allegedly used in the shooting, they discovered something disturbing: each bullet was etched with the words “deny,” “defend,” and “depose.” Those phrases aren't random — they've long been used by critics of the insurance industry to describe how claims are delayed, disputed, and dismantled. Prosecutors say the shooting was more than just personal — it was political. Thompson wasn't just any executive. He had spent over two decades at Minnetonka-based UnitedHealthcare, serving as CEO for more than three years. The company covers over 49 million Americans and brought in more than $281 billion in revenue last year. It's the largest provider of Medicare Advantage plans and manages healthcare for both public and private sectors. Thompson was a major figure in a system both relied on and resented by millions. The murder rocked the business world, but the chaos didn't stop there. Back in Maple Grove, Minnesota — where Thompson lived with his wife and two sons — police responded to bomb threats at homes connected to the family within hours of the killing. Authorities believe the threats were hoaxes, but they sent a clear message: this wasn't over. Mangione fled New York after the shooting, kicking off a multi-state manhunt. It ended five days later in Altoona, Pennsylvania, where he was arrested at a McDonald's. Investigators say he was carrying a backpack with a gun matching the murder weapon and a notebook filled with writings critical of the health insurance industry. He was extradited to New York and has remained in custody at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn ever since. Since his arrest, Mangione has pleaded not guilty to all state charges. He hasn't yet been arraigned on the federal indictment, but he's agreed to a preliminary hearing under the Speedy Trial Act, which is set for April 18. While the legal case plays out, the killing has already sparked political and cultural ripples. In California, a group has launched what's called the "Luigi Mangione Initiative," a campaign aimed at banning so-called “delay, deny, defend” tactics by insurers. The group condemns violence but says the case has brought overdue attention to insurance industry abuses. As for Mangione, he now stands at the center of a rare and highly scrutinized federal death penalty case, one that's still unfolding in real time. #LuigiMangione #BrianThompson #FederalDeathPenalty #HealthcareIndustry Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Step into the eerie world of haunted objects, where the line between history and the supernatural blurs. In this chilling episode, we dive deep into two of the most infamous haunted relics: the Anna Baker Wedding Dress and the Conjured Chest from Kentucky. The Anna Baker Wedding Dress, a garment frozen in time, tells the heartbreaking tale of a love unfulfilled, and its mysterious presence haunts the Baker Mansion in Altoona, Pennsylvania. Meanwhile, the Conjured Chest, an antique piece from Kentucky, holds secrets that are far from ordinary. Once used for spiritual practices, this chest with a sinister origin story quickly became the source of untimely death and despair that wracked a family for generations.Visit the Haunted 1889 McInteer VillaIn Paranormal News...Wikipedia – Baker MansionVirtual Tour of the Baker MansionFactschology Article [JR1]The Chilling Story of a Haunted Wedding DressGhost Town PodcastBaker Mansion Ghost PhotoBook - Cursed Objects By J W OckerKentucky Historical SocietyYou can also use this link to text us your story :)If you have an experience, story, or anything else you'd like to share with us, you can email us at Opeaghost@gmail.com You can also follow us on Instagram, Join our Facebook group : Ope, A Ghost, or Follow us on YoutubeToodles!

Andrew joins Ben this week for a discussion about a particular mythical beast, cultural symbol, and imaginary icon. One in the POÄNG and one in the pandemic chair—the guys fill us in on what they have been doing lately. Andrew has been thinking about his gardening hobby, researching a method for aging stainless steel, and creating all sorts of artsy things for his Advanced Dungeons Have Dragons pin Crowdfundr campaign. Ben has been pondering what he's going to do for the April Fools' Day episode this year and playing Ender Magnolia: Bloom in the Mist (compliments of Binary Haze Interactive). Once they have concluded with the pleasantries, they enter… THE DRAGON! Together, they offer up a smorgasbord of pop culture ramblings and video game nonsense, including how their AD&D experiences shaped their creative natures. Then they navigate through a movie and music pop-culture-ridden obstacle course until they arrive at their video game destination. Andrew talks about Adventure for the Atari 2600, and Ben talks about one of the first laserdisc arcade games created in part by a former Disney artist and animator.  *** 00:00:20 - A welcoming, the new threats, invest in leach farms, and Behind the Bastards 00:03:13 - Andrew left speechless on sadistics, Senator astronauts, and making it non-binary  00:07:33 - Stickers on Cybertrucks, rusting solutions for planters, and no library garlic this year 00:09:51 - The best kind of orchids, pro tips, the introduction is dragging, and the ADHD pin 00:12:58 - An ADHD Valentines Day, test printing for coffee mugs, and the AD&D pickup line 00:15:20 - Color printing wheels, and Ben has been playing Ender Magnolia: Bloom in the Mist 00:18:02 - Not from Altoona, Mango is a Flerken, attention… dragons, and the ADHD pin origin 00:21:35 - Ben offends bowlers, no calisthenics before bowling, and "Trogdor the Burninator" Strong Bad Email #58 - Dragon - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90X5NJleYJQ 00:23:50 - Another derogatory definition, Blair and the kaiju, and the word use blame game 00:28:07 - Taking back weird, tabletop lore, playing alone, and D&D method acting connections 00:32:29 - AARP Drews, rigorous screening, dragon drawing, and Pete's cost cutting measures 00:35:37 - Ariel is NOT dragon, movie audio n' picture books, H.R.

We usually spend Mondays talking about the latest news with Jonathan Larsen of thefuckingnews.substack.com, but he's out today doing something important with his son. And frankly, I just don't have it in me today.I was trying to find something that would bring some hope to my feelings of hopelessness right now, when a video titled 'Stress Kills' appeared in my email from Bernie Sanders. He seems to be the only person in DC who's actually out there making noise and trying to help. He's been traveling the country on his Fighting Oligarchy tour. So today, we'll spend most of the show listening to Bernie as we'll share his rally held yesterday in Altoona, WI.. We could all use some of Bernie's energy right about now...

Facing overflows crowds of 3,500 in Kenosha and 2,500 in Altoona over the weekend, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders faced Wisconsin audiences that may be showing signs of buyer's remorse with President Trump. He reminded voters that very few of them voted for oligarchy—or Elon Musk, for that matter. Congressman Mark Pocan delivered a similar message to a packed house in Belmont. He also invited Congressman Derrick Van Orden, who stuck to a Republican strategy first ascribed to ostriches.

What a day. What a week. What a year it's already been. Staying in the teens today & tomorrow…maybe back into the 20's this weekend. We kicked things off this morning with news about a canned tuna recall, President Trump issuing another Executive Order, a woman in Altoona getting sentenced to 15 years in prison for her role in the homicide of a man in 2022, the recent Amber Alert in Wisconsin has been extended to Missouri, and a possible name change for Greenland. In sports, we talked about tonight's Bucks game against the Timberwolves, and the Badgers game on Saturday at Purdue. Kevin Durant became the 8th player in NBA history to score 30,000 points in a career, and a look at the Super Bowl viewership numbers on Sunday. And speaking of numbers during the big game, check out the PornHub stats from Sunday evening. Elsewhere in sports, we hooked you up with details about this weekend's NBA All-Star game, and the 4 Nations Face-Off taking the place of this year's NHL All-Star game. We let you know what's on the boob tube tonight and also had a crazy story about a hockey dad that lost his mind and assaulted two pre-teen referees at his son's game. On the flipside of that, cool story about a waitress in New Orleans who got a rather large tip from Post Malone during last weekend's Super Bowl activities in the Big Easy, and a son who has now saved his father's life not once…but TWICE! Got to some more Valentine's Day stats & info, including some of the trends in 2025. Have you ever heard about "sex days"?? Might be something to ask about at your next job interview. Had a couple of food-related items this morning, including Papa Johns Garlic Butter Bath Bombs, and a list of some of the Valentine's Day deals you can take advantage of at some chain restaurants. And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a woman in Canada who wants a refund after she gave a psychic over $50,000 to help her find true love, a hunter who was using a camouflaged porta-potty deer blind, a #FloridaMan who crashed into several mailboxes with his riding lawnmower, and a dude in Australia who makes a living by farting.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On the conclusion of an epic 3-part saga concerning the horrific Altoona-style pizza, I share the results of my accidental plastic consumption with the Kraft corporation and am rewarded handsomely for the effort.

Born and raised in Eveleth, Minnesota, Joe Delich played high school hockey for the Eveleth Golden Bears. Following his high school career, Joe went to play at the US Air Force Academy. As a commissioned officer, Joe held a variety of positions including assistant coaching and recruiting for Air Force. Following his stint as an officer, Joe worked in a variety of positions in hockey and, ultimately, accepted the position with Minnesota hockey. He tells great stories and provides insight into the workings of amateur hockey in Minnesota and beyond.

On the advice of the Kraft corporation, I contact the reference desk at my local public library to determine whether I am in bodily danger from having consumed a Kraft Single with the plastic wrapper still on.

I detail the shocking horror of Altoona-style pizza and suffer my own intestinal mishap in the process.

Who Is Luigi Mangione's Family? Luigi Mangione's arrest in December 2024 sent shockwaves through Maryland's close-knit community. Born on May 6, 1998, Luigi grew up in Towson, Maryland, as the only son of Louis and Kathleen Mangione, a family whose name carries significant weight in Baltimore. With roots deeply embedded in Italian-American heritage, the Mangiones rose from humble beginnings to become a cornerstone of Maryland's business and philanthropic scene. Now, that legacy is under scrutiny as their son stands accused of the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Luigi's story cannot be fully understood without exploring the life of his grandfather, Nicholas Mangione. Born to Sicilian immigrants in Baltimore's Little Italy, Nicholas embodied the American dream. Through sheer grit and determination, he built a diversified empire that spanned real estate, healthcare, and media. His portfolio included Lorien Health Services, a chain of nursing homes, and ownership of Baltimore's conservative talk radio station WCBM. Beyond business, Nicholas's philanthropy left an indelible mark on institutions such as the Greater Baltimore Medical Center and Loyola University Maryland. Nicholas's passing in 2008 left the family empire in the capable hands of his son, Louis Mangione. Under Louis's leadership, the Mangione name continued to thrive, expanding Turf Valley Resort, managing Hayfields Country Club, and overseeing numerous commercial ventures. However, the recent events surrounding his son Luigi have cast a shadow over the family's once-pristine reputation. Louis Mangione, born in 1953, was the second of ten children. From a young age, he was immersed in the family business, learning the intricacies of real estate development and management. After earning his degree, Louis took over the family's operations, solidifying their position as one of Maryland's most influential families. His wife, Kathleen, brought a different yet equally impactful dimension to the family's legacy. Kathleen Zannino Mangione, a woman of Italian-American descent, grew up in Baltimore. With a background in business management and computer education, she later transitioned into the tourism industry, founding KZM Boutique Travel. Her company specialized in curated travel experiences, particularly to Italy, blending her professional acumen with her cultural heritage. Kathleen's active involvement in cultural organizations further cemented the family's standing in the community. Together, Louis and Kathleen raised three children: MariaSanta, Luciana, and Luigi. MariaSanta pursued a career in medicine, while Luciana found her passion in visual arts. Luigi, the youngest, showed early promise in academics, graduating as valedictorian from the prestigious Gilman School in 2016 before earning dual degrees in computer engineering and artificial intelligence from the University of Pennsylvania. Luigi's life seemed destined for success. With a brilliant academic record and a keen interest in technology, he appeared poised to carry the Mangione legacy into the modern age. But beneath the surface, cracks began to form. In July 2023, Luigi underwent spinal fusion surgery to address spondylolisthesis, a condition that had caused him significant discomfort. The recovery process was grueling, both physically and mentally. Friends and family noticed a shift in Luigi's demeanor. He became withdrawn, limiting his social interactions and eventually disappearing from social media altogether by the summer of 2024. This period of isolation culminated in November 2024, when Kathleen reported Luigi missing. Believing he was living and working in San Francisco, the family's concern grew as weeks passed with no contact. On December 9, Luigi was apprehended in Altoona, Pennsylvania, in connection with the murder of Brian Thompson, leaving his family and community in stunned disbelief. The arrest of Luigi Mangione sent ripples through the tight-knit Baltimore community. The Mangione family, known for their charitable contributions and community involvement, found themselves thrust into an unfamiliar and unwelcome spotlight. In a public statement, Louis and Kathleen expressed their devastation, requesting privacy and prayers for all affected parties. The revelation that Luigi might lose a potential $100 million inheritance due to legal stipulations excluding felons from benefitting only deepened the family's anguish. Despite the challenges, the Mangiones have vowed to support their son through the legal process, maintaining his innocence until proven guilty. For decades, the Mangione name was synonymous with success and generosity. From their early beginnings in Little Italy to their current status as pillars of the community, the family's journey has been one of resilience and growth. Yet, the events of December 2024 have introduced an unprecedented chapter to their storied history, one that intertwines personal tragedy with public scrutiny. As the legal proceedings against Luigi unfold, the Mangione family must confront not only the potential loss of their son but also the impact on a legacy built over generations. The community watches closely, torn between their admiration for the family's contributions and the gravity of the allegations against Luigi. Whatever the outcome, the Mangiones' journey serves as a poignant reminder of the fragility of reputation and the complexities of familial bonds. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Brian Thompson, the CEO of the health insurance company UnitedHealthcare, was shot and killed in Midtown Manhattan on December 4th. Five days later, police arrested Luigi Mangione as a suspect in the killing at a McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvania. Liv, Julian, and Travis discuss the ideological waters that Magione swam in and how this incident proves that everyone is an online investigator. Plus we explore the reaction to the killing, which includes a surprising amount of AO3 fan fiction. Finally, we break down the popular claim that there's a special connection between the killing and the number 286, which isn't as impressive when closely examined.

A whole lot happened yesterday we need to unpack from capturing the killer of the United Healthcare CEO to the Daniel Penny verdict. Plus, Stigall has his own big news to share with this audience if you're a regular radio/podcast listener. Rob O'Donnell - former NYPD detective shares insights from the hunt that led to Altoona, PA and what law enforcement had to do to track down Mangione. Also, justice was served in the trial of Daniel Penny, but sadly he's not out of the woods yet. Left wing reaction to both stories is predictably abhorrent. Will the Tik Tok ban stand?

Happy Monday! Sam speaks with John Nichols, national affairs correspondent for The Nation, to discuss his recent interview with Sen. Bernie Sanders, and the paths forward he sees for the Left after the 2024 election. First, Emma runs through updates on the acquittal of Daniel Penny, the potential detaining of the United Healthcare CEO killer, the fall of Assad in Syria and the imperialist responses from Israel and the US, South Korean President Yoom, Trump's pledge to pardon insurrectionists, and Trump's developing cabinet, before parsing through Trump's inhumane and unconstitutional plan to end birthright citizenship, and Democrats' failure to prevent this threat. Then, John Nichols joins Sam as he dives right into his recent interview with Bernie Sanders, unpacking Bernie's major takeaways from Democrats' failure in the 2024 elections, from the need for a new way to communicate with a multi-racial, multi-ethnic working class to the imperative for Democrats to stand aside and let independent, working-class progressive candidates run without the burden of the party establishment weighing them down. After briefly expanding on the challenge of convincing the Democratic Party Brand to stop pushing the Democratic Party Brand, Nichols steps back to walk through the history of this tactic's success on the left, playing a particularly prevalent role in bolstering FDR's progressive coalition and the major progress they achieved. Next, John and Sam look to Bernie's 2016 anti-oligarchy candidacy, exploring how Democrats' failure to address that growing political inequality provided a path (twice) for Trump and the GOP (twice) to successfully stand as the party of money power and as anti-establishment, bolstered by the GOP's messaging dominance (see: Elon Musk's Twitter purchase), before looking deeper into the contemporary examples for Bernie's model – namely himself and Angus King, two independents that, while outside of the party infrastructure, caucus (and vote) with Democrats. Wrapping up, Nichols and Sam look at the ongoing race for DNC chair, and the promising future of a Blue-Wall-led party – touching particularly on the success of DNC chair candidate Ben Wikler. And in the Fun Half: Emma unpacks the potential capture of the United Healthcare CEO killer in Altoona, PA, and the wide-ranging coverage of the event, from the incensed and out-of-touch Ben Shapiro to the ever big-brained Bill Burr, with additional commentary from Joe from Illinois. Zack from Missouri unpacks the MAGA defense of Trump's character, Brie from New York on their view of the View, and Jim Clyburn and Chip Roy come to the defense of Trump and his administration, respectively, plus, your calls and IMs!
