State officials are looking to curb Pennsylvania's ongoing outbreak of bird flu — the worst it’s seen in decades. The State Game Commission has joined efforts to help the Commonwealth address the most recent avian flu outbreak. During his annual State of the Union address Tuesday night President Donald Trump said he worked out a deal with energy-hungry data centers to build their own power plants. The facilities are expanding to accommodate the growth in artificial intelligence. Rising electricity costs are due in part to the increase in data centers. About 100 people protested last weekend outside the municipal building in the small Berks County township where ICE want to convert a warehouse into an immigration detention center. More than 100 of Pennsylvania’s rural volunteer fire companies are receiving more than $900,000 dollars in state grants to strengthen the state’s wildfire protection.

On this week's Hemp Podcast, we talk to August Cook, Joseph Carringer and Dave Cook of Commonwealth Denim and Tuscarora Mills about their effort to weave, cut and sew 100% hemp selvedge jeans in Pennsylvania — and what it will take to rebuild a regional textile supply chain from farm to finished garment. Pennsylvania has a long history with textiles, from homespun hemp and linen in colonial times to the grandeur of Philadelphia's textile mills in the early 20th century. But by the end of the 20th century, the industry had pretty much collapsed, held together by specialty manufacturers and legacy family businesses. Now, there is new hope on the horizon. Commonwealth Denim is weaving, cutting and sewing 100% hemp selvedge jeans in Pennsylvania while working to rebuild a fully Pennsylvania-based textile supply chain.

The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board is reporting a significant increase in revenue from all forms of gaming during January 2026. Central Pa.-area casinos helped contribute to the gains. Pharmaceutical giant Johnson & Johnson recently announced plans to build a new cell therapy manufacturing plant in the greater Philadelphia region. The state will contribute more than $41 million towards the project in tax credits and grants. More than a dozen Harrisburg residents are displaced after fire swept through six rowhomes early Sunday morning. A York County woman is dead after driving the wrong way on Route 283 in Lancaster County Saturday night. State and local officials say they're worried about the impact an ICE detention center could have upon Schuylkill and Berks counties' rural infrastructure, such as its water and sewer systems, as well as EMS departments. And a deep dive: Electric bills in Pennsylvania and elsewhere have been rising faster than the rate of inflation. In his recent budget address, Governor Josh Shapiro blamed the sudden increase on an organization called P-J-M. What is it, and how does it affect your bills?

Greg celebrated his YouTube Channel's 15th birthday! Last Episode FollowUp: LADY Follow Up- Mast Cells and Histamines How interesting that y'all were talking about mast cells and histamine on last's night show. Just a little rabbit hole for you: The condition that you were speaking of last night - an allergic reaction to extreme cold - is called Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS). The condition Omi was speaking about with fingers turning various shades of white, blue, and purple during temperature changes is called Raynaud's. Both MCAS and Raynaud's are co-morbids of a congenital condition called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS).  EDS is a connective tissue disease and has over 10 subtypes, with hypermobile EDS (hEDS) being the most common. The top co-morbidities for EDS are MCAS, chronic inflammatory conditions such as migraine, interstitial cystitis, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS); and dysautonomia. MCAS is an absolute nightmare to live with as literally anything can set it off: food, temperature changes, stress, a mosquito bite, solar weather, someone marinating in their perfume or cologne, dust, & etc. Reactions can range from sneezing and itchiness to anaphylaxis - just as you said. I am all too familiar with this condition as my daughter, youngest son, and myself all suffer from it. In fact, with the ice storm that hit NC weekend before last, the youngest son was out playing in it and when he came in his cheeks were a bright red. I immediately gave him Benadryl. The next morning when he woke up, not only had the Benadryl not touched it, his eyes, lips, and cheeks were swollen like he'd been beat up. That was a trip to the ER. And the scary part of MCAS is that it is not consistent. One week you can eat chicken and it's fine; the next week, you're off to the ER. There is literally no way to know how, if, or when your mast cells are going to have a hissy fit. All that said, it is interesting to note that histamine, which is elevated during an MCAS event, can exit the body through multiple means including sweat. Histamine reacts to electrostatic fields and in some cases has been the reason why some folks can perform telekinesis. Russian Leonid Leonidovich Vasiliev conducted research and found that a woman by the name of Nina Kulagina, who was thought to be telekinetic, had high amounts of histamine on her skin from sweat (body detoxifying), and that was interacting with the electrostatic field on the objects she was attempting to move, and was thus the reason she was able to move items viz., she wasn't telekinetic. Vasiliey's works are available if you want to nerd out on it: • Mysterious Phenomena of the Human Psyche (1959) • Experiments in Mental Suggestion (1963) • Experiments in Distant Influence (1976) Or, if you want to take a shortcut and hear about it in a five-minute deal and more eloquent fashion, skip to the 57:20 mark on this episode of Art Bell's Midnight in the Desert: https://youtu.be/vy_Aa-7b8n4?si=6oPS6Y7XQtDrjD73 You also mentioned evolution, or de-evolution in the human body, and genetic entropy is another rabbit hole one can go down. Mainline science and medicine don't like genetic entropy and have tried very hard to debunk it because it doesn't fit their narrative.  Anyhoo, thank you for letting me nerd out. Have a good one.

In this episode of the Econ Dev Show, Dane Carlson sits down with Lisa Hurley, Executive Director of the York County Development Corporation in Nebraska, to talk about what modern rural economic development actually looks like on the ground. Lisa shares how York County leverages its logistics position, diversified employers, and growing civic pride while navigating workforce shortages, childcare capacity, housing pressure, and community resistance to change. They discuss talent attraction campaigns, podcasting as an economic development tool, and why rural EDOs must now think far beyond traditional business recruitment. The conversation also explores leadership, burnout, mentoring the next generation of economic developers, and how Lisa is using AI to save time while staying human where it matters most. Like this show? Please leave us a review here — even one sentence helps! Ten Actionable Takeaways for Economic Developers Treat childcare capacity as core economic infrastructure, not a side issue Invest in talent marketing even when results are hard to attribute directly Use layered messaging across state, local, and employer campaigns Build trust by proactively sharing progress and visuals with the community Accept that some resistance to change cannot be resolved, only managed Partner aggressively to avoid owning every initiative yourself Use podcasts and storytelling to humanize your community and organization Leverage AI for HR, editing, and admin work to protect business-facing time Mentor younger economic developers to reduce burnout and build continuity Remember that stopping a bad project can be a win, not a failure Special Guest: Lisa Hurley.

Pennsylvania’s 67 counties are once again urging state lawmakers to increase funding for technology and staff needed to answer 911 calls. They’d do that by raising the surcharge on residents’ phone lines. Mental health and drug treatment advocates in Pennsylvania are reeling after the federal government recently cut their funding and then quickly reversed the cuts. Nearly 500,000 Pennsylvanians got health insurance last year through Pennie, the state’s Affordable Care Act marketplace, marking a record enrollment. But thousands have dropped coverage for 2026 after the loss of federal premium subsidies. The Pennsylvania Game Commission is pausing its proposal to move up the start of firearms deer season...for now. The decision comes after heavy backlash from the hunting community. A man is dead after being shot by a PA state trooper in Lebanon County. A State Police spokesman says troopers were serving a warrant as part of a child pornography investigation, when the unidentified suspect confronted troopers “in a manner which resulted in members discharging their firearms.” A Pennsylvania state lawmaker who also leads a trade group is announcing he's resigning effective this Saturday, January 31st. State Rep. Seth Grove is a Republican who represents York County. Governor Josh Shapiro is preparing to release a long-awaited plan to tackle Pennsylvania's housing crisis, according to reporting by our partners at Spotlight PA. That crisis includes soaring rents, rising homelessness, a housing shortage, and home ownership that is out-of-reach for many families. Traffic and noise may increase around Cumberland County's Naval base. Officials are in the midst of a two-week-long force protection exercise that began on Monday.

Lastly, Pennsylvania's still a top state for retirees.

In this powerful episode, Rob Scheer sits down with Lindsay Lendyak, South Carolina State Director for Isaiah 117 House, to talk about one of the most overlooked moments in foster care: Removal Day.Instead of children waiting for hours in government offices, Isaiah 117 House creates a warm, home-like space where kids can exhale, eat a meal, change into clean clothes, and feel safe while caseworkers find placement. Lindsay shares why this model is a true game changer for children, foster families, and social workers alike, and how South Carolina is rapidly expanding its footprint.What You Will Hear in This Episode* What Removal Day really looks like, and why so many youth remember it as the hardest day of their lives* How Isaiah 117 House replaces a cold, adult-centered setting with comfort, dignity, and stability* The heart of the model: trauma-informed volunteers providing steady, calm presence during a chaotic moment* How community support builds a stronger system around children and the professionals serving them* South Carolina growth updates, including York County and new houses coming soonQuotes to Highlight* Lindsay on why this matters: “Nearly all of them recount removal day as the worst day of their lives.”* Lindsay on the mission: “We can fix how foster care begins for our kids.”* Lindsay on what kids experience at Isaiah 117 House: “It's a yes… For a kid who's lived a life of nos, that is a game changer.”* Lindsay on why the system needs community: “Every single person should help a child in foster care. Full stop.”South Carolina Updates* York County opened September 2025* Greenville County expected to open early spring 2026* Horry County fundraising begins February 2026* Lexington County kickoff coming early 2026Why This Episode MattersThis conversation is a reminder that children enter foster care because of choices other people made, and that the first hours of care should not add trauma.

In Harrisburg, key legislative leaders appear to be in agreement on a budget deal, which would end Pennsylvania's months-long budget impasse. The news broke late last night - and legislators in both chambers are expected to return this morning to approve the deal. Meantime in Washington, the Senate passed a bill to reopen the federal government late Sunday night, and the House is expected to take their first look at the bill today. In order to pass the budget bill, eight Democratic Senators broke rank with their party to reach a deal with Republicans to end the federal government shutdown. Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman was among them. Some House members from Pennsylvania say it was a bad idea. Environmentalists have filed a lawsuit to stop the expansion of a major natural gas pipeline system in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The project would include ten miles of new pipe in Lancaster County and an expanded compressor station in Chester County.
