WITF Democracy Reporter Jordan Wilkie discussed his report on Pennsylvania activist Heather Honey, who is moving from leading election conspiracy groups to a top elections policy role at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Elections experts have raised concerns that Honey’s appointment could undermine federal election support and public confidence. “The appointment of Heather Honey is just confirmation that DHS has gone from being one of the most credible supporters of American election integrity to potentially a purveyor of disinformation,” said David Becker, head of the Center for Election Innovation & Research. Next, WITF Capitol Reporter Jaxon White weighed in on Pennsylvania’s upcoming Supreme Court retention elections. Three Democratic justices—Christine Donohue, Kevin Dougherty, and David Wecht—face voters this November.

We poked some fun at Kaboly for whiffing on his punter battle prediction. Who are some WR targets the Steelers should be circling in the coming days? ESPN posted an article that predicted the Steelers would make a trade for Anthony Richardson since he's set to be the Colts backup QB. Steelers insider Nick Farabaugh from Penn Live dot com joined the show. The Steelers made some more cuts in the last few minutes, so the guys got Nick's initial reaction as the roster fills out. Nick said he isn't ‘stunned' that Cameron Johnston was released, but Corliss Waitman looked good and came at a cheaper price. Nick believes there may have been some holding skill that Chris Boswell liked from Waitman. Nick expects Robert Woods to be among the list of cuts. Nick said names like DeMarvin Leal, Beanie Bishop and Cory Trice are the notables to pay attention to tomorrow. Nick wouldn't be surprised by an offensive lineman and/or wide receiver coming in from the outside. The guys had Nick go through some WR names that fit the mold of what the Steelers are looking for. Nick does think Allen Lazard is among the names the Steelers could bring in, due to the connection with Aaron Rodgers. Nick isn't a fan of ESPN suggesting the Steelers could trade for Anthony Richardson. Nick expects Will Howard to be practicing soon and to not be placed on IR. Nick said he wouldn't rule out free safety being an addition before the regular season. Can you take me HIGHER?

When Ty'Rique Riley died after a brief stay in the Dauphin County Prison, his family blamed guards who beat and pepper sprayed him with a bag over his head. But the county coroner, best known for his embellished true crime TV show, declared the 29-year-old's death a routine medical incident. It was just the latest in a string of inmate deaths at the jail for which neither guards nor medical staff had been held accountable. As investigative journalists turned up the heat on county officials, outsiders ran for elective office with promises of reform. Both met stiff resistance from a system built on protecting a brutal status-quo.From Wondery and Penn Live comes the podcast “Death County, PA.” Host Josh Vaughn recounts his multi-year investigation into the prison and those who ran it with an iron hand. It also profiles the unlikely citizens who campaigned to change conditions inside the state's most notorious corrections facility.OUR SPOILER-FREE REVIEWS OF "DEATH COUNTY, PA" BEGIN IN THE FINAL 12 MINUTES OF THE EPISODE.
