The parents of the man accused of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/homicide" target="_blank" rel="noopener">killing</a> four University of Idaho <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/students" target="_blank" rel="noopener">students</a> last November have been called to testify before a grand jury in Pennsylvania.
A source close to the case <a href="https://www.newsnationnow.com/crime/idaho-college-killings/kohbergers-parents-testify-grand-jury/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> NewsNation’s Brian Entin that the parents have been called to speak to a grand jury in the Dana Smithers case. Smithers was 45 years old when she went missing in May 2022 in Monroe County, Pennsylvania, where the Idaho suspect lived with his parents at the time.
The source also told the outlet that the suspect, who is not being named per Daily Wire policy, has a solid alibi and likely had nothing to do with Smithers’ disappearance. The grand jury, however, is continuing its proceedings and the investigation into Smithers’ case is ongoing.
The suspect was indicted last week on charges including first-degree murder and appeared in court on Monday <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/murder-suspect-pleads-not-guilty-to-killing-of-four-university-of-idaho-students" target="_blank" rel="noopener">for his arraignment</a>. The suspect wore a bullet-proof vest under his orange jumpsuit, the Daily Mail <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12111149/Bryan-Kohberger-court-appearance-LIVE-Idaho-murder-suspect-enter-plea-four-counts-murder.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.
He reportedly stood silently when the judge asked him to enter his plea, so the judge entered a plea of not guilty on his behalf. With pleas set, prosecutors now have 60 days to decide whether to pursue the death penalty. His public defender also asked the judge to set a trial date in October.
The suspect was arrested six weeks after four friends, Kaylee Goncalves, 21; Ethan Chapin, 20; Xana Kernodle, 20; and Madison Mogen, 21, were stabbed to death on November 13, 2022.
Calling the suspect’s parents before a grand jury appears to be part of an attempt by police to see whether the suspect is <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/police-investigating-whether-accused-idaho-killer-is-responsible-for-other-murders-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">responsible for other unsolved crimes</a>.
Retired FBI agent Jennifer Coffindaffer previously <a href="https://www.newsnationnow.com/crime/idaho-college-killings/bryan-kohberger-other-deaths-pennsylvania/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> NewsNation’s Chris Cuomo that police could look at the suspect for similar murders in Pennsylvania.

“If they are looking at something very specific that’s unsolved with these parameters, they’re probably looking in the right direction,” she told the outlet. “I think it is a signature-type crime.”
Defense attorney Mark Geragos told the outlet that it’s common for police to link suspects like this to other unsolved crimes.
“In virtually every high profile case that is a circumstantial evidence murder case, you almost inevitably hear of some other unsolved murder and law enforcement looks to see if they can link whoever the suspect is,” Geragos told NewsNation. “For one thing I suppose it fills a vacuum — ‘Why did somebody do this when you don’t have a motive?’ That is the most obvious explanation.”
More than <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/more-than-60-warrants-have-been-served-in-connection-with-the-university-of-idaho-murders" target="_blank" rel="noopener">60 warrants</a> have also been served to major companies and banks in connection to the murders, including Amazon, DoorDash, Reddit, and the owner of dating sites such as Tinder and OkCupid. The contents of the warrants are “sealed and redacted” as part of the murder case against the 28-year-old suspect.
Monroe County First Assistant Michael Mancuso <a href="https://www.brctv13.com/news/local-news/29279-monroe-county-officials-share-new-details-about-idaho-murder-suspect-s-arrest" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> BRC 13 that when the suspect was arrested, he “was found awake in the kitchen area dressed in shorts and a shirt [and] wearing latex medical type gloves and apparently was taking his personal trash and putting it into … separate zip lock baggies.”
Mancuso implied that the suspect was removing the trash to conceal his DNA. Investigators had been surveilling the home for weeks prior to the suspect’s arrest, and during that time, they searched the trash cans outside.
“A trash pull that was done days before recovered DNA profiles but not from him, only from his family members,” Mancuso told the outlet.

Cherelle Parker, who on Tuesday won the Democratic nomination for <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/philadelphia" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Philadelphia</a>&#8216;s upcoming mayoral election, was hospitalized over an emergency, causing her to miss her victory celebration. 
Parker, 50, won with 33% of the vote, while former city comptroller Rebecca Rhynhart earned 22%. Leftist candidate Helen Gym garnered 21%. According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, Parker <a href="https://www.inquirer.com/politics/election/cherelle-parker-dehydration-mayor-democratic-primary-20230517.html?cid=Daily+News+Twitter+Account&amp;utm_campaign=Daily+News+Twitter+Account&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=t.co" target="_blank" rel="noopener">had</a> to go to the hospital over a “dental emergency.” 
She was hospitalized at the University of Pennsylvania over “a recent dental issue that required immediate medical attention,” according to campaign spokesperson Aren Platt. 
“Cherelle looks forward to celebrating with all of her friends and supporters and thanks all of Philadelphia for making history tonight!” Platt added. 
In February, Parker had reportedly been told that she needed to have a tooth removed but delayed the procedure until last Friday. “It needed to come out, so we made a decision to sort of just push it off because I was trying to get through the primary, and then it came up,” she told the Inquirer. 
Ryan Boyer, a backer of Parker and the head of the Building and Construction Trades Council, had previously said that Parker’s medical emergency was due to dehydration. 
Pollsters predict Parker will win the November election, as Philadelphia is heavily Democratic. A Republican mayor hasn’t been elected there since the 1940s, and the current mayor, Jim Kenney, won with 80% of the vote in his last election. 
“I’m so incredibly honored to have earned the Democratic nomination tonight. It’s been a long road, and to see the tireless work of my campaign team, supporters, and family pay off is humbling. I’m looking forward to November and bringing our city together as its 100th mayor,” Parker <a href="https://twitter.com/PeopleforParker/status/1658679084480700416" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> on Twitter.

Gym was heavily favored by the far Left in the city and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/volunteer-campaigning-for-far-left-philly-mayoral-candidate-fatally-shoots-fellow-volunteer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">had the endorsements</a> of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT). 
Parker took a more moderate approach to law and order, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/philadelphia-mayor-democratic-primary-5adb427dc507ed5e7133a1ca834d4306" target="_blank" rel="noopener">promising</a> to increase the number of police officers to “stop the sense of lawlessness that is plaguing our city.”
Elevated crime levels were a core issue in the primary. Philadelphia saw 516 homicides last year, just below the 2021 total of 562, a decades-long high in the City of Brotherly Love, according to <a href="https://www.phillypolice.com/crime-maps-stats/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">data</a> from the Philadelphia Police Department.

One unscripted moment from <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/taylor-swift" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Taylor Swift</a>’s concert in Philadelphia went viral, and now the fan involved is speaking out.
The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/celebrities" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Grammy Award-</a>winning artist was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/music" target="_blank" rel="noopener">performing</a> at the Lincoln Financial Field during her “Eras” Tour on Saturday night when she stopped to scold a security guard in the middle of the show. Multiple videos show Swift pausing the song “Bad Blood” to say, “She wasn’t doing anything,” and “Hey! Stop!” and “She’s fine!” during the viral moment. 
Apparently, the security guard had been trying to keep concertgoers from getting too close to one of the erected barriers, as The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hey-stop-stop-taylor-swift-goes-off-script-to-scold-security-during-show" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Now the woman in question is defending her actions and applauding Swift’s intervention. The Daily Mail <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12082453/EXCL-Mom-harassed-security-Taylor-Swifts-tour-Philadelphia-gets-free-tickets.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> that the fan involved in the incident was Kelly Inglis Kelly from Baltimore, Maryland.
Kelly made a TikTok video detailing the event and posted it on Sunday using her best friend’s account, they said.
“Ok, I was the girl that Taylor talked to last night,” Kelly claimed in the video. “Basically, the guard had been, like, harassing our group all night… he just kept telling us not to touch the rail and every time we did anything, he was like, on top of us,” she said of her interaction with security.
“We’re dancing, having fun, he didn’t like it, and Taylor noticed that I was having fun and that he didn’t like it, and she didn’t like it, and then he basically, like, got escorted out and then they offered us free tickets for tonight,” Kelly went on. 
She also said that even though the incident made headlines in the coming days, ultimately, it was not a big deal.
“It wasn’t this big crazy thing, it was just like a bunch of girls having a good time and he didn’t want us to have fun,” she said in the TikTok update.
Kelly told Daily Mail that the security guard did not “physically touch them” while trying to get them away from the barricade.
Kelly made another video she posted on her own TikTok account in which she praised Swift for her actions.

“The fact that you did that for me last night, and you stood up for me, meant so, so, so, so much and like, I can’t even explain, like, you did that for me, and for your fans, and if there’s anything I know about you, you just want your fans to go to the show and have fun, and that’s all we were doing,” the fan said.
“It truly, truly meant so much to us that you did that, and to everybody. That you would stop to say something, and it was my 13th show, on the 13th, and I just feel like it was really cool,” she concluded.

A 22-year-old campaign volunteer for One PA, a Left-wing political organization, allegedly fatally <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/guns" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shot</a> a 46-year-old fellow volunteer on Monday afternoon as the individuals were garnering <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/elections" target="_blank" rel="noopener">support</a> for Helen Gym, a Democratic candidate for the <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/philadelphia" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Philadelphia</a> mayoral primary.
Police did not reveal why the volunteer, who was in legal possession of his handgun, allegedly fired at the other volunteer, although the two had possibly been engaged in a dispute, according to a <a href="https://www.inquirer.com/news/philly-gun-violence-onepa-shooting-homicide-20230508.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> from the Philadelphia Inquirer. The men had each been canvassing in the East Germantown neighborhood in the northern portion of Philadelphia.
Philadelphia Police Department Chief Inspector Scott Small told the outlet that the 22-year-old had remained at the scene to be questioned by detectives, while Deputy Commissioner Frank Vanore said the two individuals “happened upon each other.”
Staff Inspector Ernest Ransom added that the men “had always had a beef.”
The 46-year-old allegedly pulled a firearm that was unregistered to him when he met the 22-year-old on the street, allegedly prompting the latter to draw his handgun and shoot the man in the armpit. The younger canvasser told officers that he had acted in self-defense.
“Today, a One PA team member tragically lost their life,” the organization said in a <a href="https://twitter.com/OnePennsylvania/status/1655735268459118595" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a>. “We are heartbroken, and our condolences and sympathy are with their family. We are mourning this senseless loss, and continuing to gather the facts and investigate what happened.”
The One PA <a href="https://onepa.org/our-story/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">website</a> said the group was initially launched as part of the Service Employees International Union, also known as the SEIU, but is now an independent “multiracial, intergenerational, and multi-issue membership organization.”
Gym is widely regarded as one of the more Left-wing candidates in the mayoral primary, which is slated to occur next week. The former councilwoman’s campaign <a href="https://helengym.com/issues/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">platform</a> centers on community safety and supports declaring a state of emergency over gun violence.
“I was devastated to hear about the tragic death of a canvasser today,” Gym <a href="https://twitter.com/HelenGymPHL/status/1655726646144520199" target="_blank" rel="noopener">commented</a> on social media. “My thoughts are with the family of the victim, the One PA community, and everyone impacted by this irrevocable loss. Though the canvasser was not part of our campaign, this loss is deeply felt by all of us.”

Gym has received <a href="https://helengym.com/endorsements/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">endorsements</a> from prominent democratic socialists Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT). Back in 2017, Gym endorsed Philadelphia Democratic District Attorney Larry Krasner, who has drawn <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/philadelphia-district-attorney-larry-krasner-impeached-he-blames-racism" target="_blank" rel="noopener">controversy</a> for advancing lax bail policies and reduced prosecutions for certain crimes, prompting hundreds of attorneys to leave his office.
Elevated crime levels are a core issue in the mayoral elections. Philadelphia saw 516 homicides last year, just below the 2021 total of 562 homicides, which was a decades-long high in the City of Brotherly Love, according to <a href="https://www.phillypolice.com/crime-maps-stats/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">data</a> from the Philadelphia Police Department.

A 49-year-old <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/pennsylvania" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pennsylvania</a> man was sentenced to over a decade in prison after he was convicted of assaulting police officers at the Capitol on <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/january-6" target="_blank" rel="noopener">January 6</a>, 2021. 
Peter Schwartz was sentenced to 14 years in prison by U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta over his actions, which included pepper spraying and throwing a folding chair at a group of officers <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/capitol-riot" target="_blank" rel="noopener">at the Capitol</a>. The sentence is the longest so far for any of the January 6-related convictions. 
Prosecutors had asked that Schwartz, a welder with previous convictions for violence and threats of violence, be locked up for 24 years, a sentence Schwartz’s lawyers vigorously opposed. Defense lawyer Dennis Boyle <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2023/05/05/jan6-sentence-longest-schwartz/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> that a 24-year sentence “would give credence to all those who consider this a political prosecution.”
Schwartz was arrested while working as a welder in Pennsylvania, but has said that Kentucky is his home.
Mehta decided to give him 14 years, saying that his 38 prior convictions did play a role in the decision. He <a href="https://apnews.com/article/jan-6-capitol-peter-schwartz-insurrection-9176bad22fff2bafaea5c32ce06bb772?utm_source=homepage&amp;utm_medium=TopNews&amp;utm_campaign=position_05" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> that Schwartz was a “soldier against democracy,&#8221; claiming that he pushed forward “the kind of mayhem, chaos that had never been seen in the country’s history.”
“You are not a political prisoner,” said Mehta, an Indian-born judge who was <a href="https://www.dcd.uscourts.gov/content/district-judge-amit-p-mehta" target="_blank" rel="noopener">appointed</a> to the United States District Court for the District of Columbia in 2014 by Barack Obama. “You’re not somebody who is standing up against injustice or fighting against an autocratic regime.”
In a court filing, Schwartz’s lawyer’s referred to Donald Trump as a “grifter” and said that Schwartz no longer believed that the 2020 election was stolen. 
“There remain many grifters out there who remain free to continue propagating the &#8216;great lie&#8217; that Trump won the election, Donald Trump being the most prominent. Mr. Schwartz is not one of these individuals; he knows he was wrong,” the lawyers <a href="https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.dcd.228319/gov.uscourts.dcd.228319.203.0_1.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>.

Schwartz told Mehta that he was sorry about the damage that had been caused on January 6, but the judge said he didn’t believe him. “You took it upon yourself to try and injure multiple police officers that day,” the judge said. 
The welder threw a chair that prosecutors said, “directly contributed to the fall of the police line that enabled rioters to flood forward and take over the entire terrace.” Additionally, he sprayed pepper spray at police, using a “super soaker” canister. Prosecutors said that no officers were hit with the spray. 
“While the stream of liquid did not directly hit any officer, its effect was to heighten the danger to the officers in that tunnel,” prosecutor Jocelyn Bond said. 
Schwartz’s wife was also sentenced to two years in prison over her actions on January 6 and has reportedly filed for divorce. In a previous interview, Schwartz referred to his trial as &#8220;a sham, in the face of irrefutable video evidence.”

Washington D.C.

Senator <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/john-fetterman" target="_blank" rel="noopener">John Fetterman</a> (D-PA) blamed his recent hospitalization on the &#8220;brutality&#8221; of his 2022 Senate campaign.
In an interview with Pittsburgh CBS affiliate <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/pittsburgh/news/sen-john-fetterman-exclusive-interview-politics-pennsylvania/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">KDKA</a>, Fetterman said he is doing better, after he checked himself into Walter Reed Medical Center in Washington, D.C., in February. Fetterman was diagnosed with depression and spent six weeks in treatment at Walter Reed. In the interview, the freshman senator blamed his depression on his May 2022 stroke, but also on Republicans during the campaign.
&#8220;It was after the brutality of the campaign, the other side,&#8221; Fetterman said. &#8220;Some people believe it was one of the most vicious political campaigns.&#8221; However, Fetterman did not put any of the blame on his opponent, celebrity heart surgeon and television presenter Dr. Mehmet Oz.
Fetterman&#8217;s health was a major concern of the campaign. He suffered a massive stroke in May that sidelined him from campaigning for months. The stroke was thrust into the spotlight in particular after an NBC News report in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/democrat-senate-candidate-fetterman-forced-to-use-giant-screen-for-interview-this-guys-in-bad-shape" target="_blank" rel="noopener">October</a> revealed that Fetterman needed a giant computer screen with closed captions in order to understand what the reporter was saying. Fetterman also reportedly struggled to find the right words in the interview. The impact was also apparent during Fetterman&#8217;s lone <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/fetterman-faces-fallout-from-disastrous-debate-worst-performance-by-any-candidate-i-have-ever-seen" target="_blank" rel="noopener">debate</a> with Dr. Oz; Fetterman struggled to find words and gave several incoherent and incomplete answers to questions.
Fetterman said that his mental health was preventing him from being an effective Senator, husband, and father. &#8220;I wasn&#8217;t being the kind of senator Pennsylvania deserved,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I wasn&#8217;t being the kind of husband Gisele deserved, I wasn&#8217;t being the kind of father my children deserved.&#8221;
But Fetterman said this week that he is in better shape. &#8220;I feel fantastic, honestly,&#8221; he said. &#8220;A lot of people have been asking, &#8216;Hey, how are you feeling, how&#8217;s your depression?&#8217; It&#8217;s in remission, and I am just so grateful to [be] just feeling great.&#8221;
KDKA&#8217;s Jon Delano then presented the burning question directly. &#8220;Is John Fetterman really fit, mentally and physically, to be a United States senator?&#8221; he asked.
&#8220;That certainly is very blunt, but my answer will be blunt, too,&#8221; Fetterman replied. &#8220;Hell yes, and that&#8217;s why I&#8217;m doing it. Just the way any Pennsylvanians are working, you take it a day and a day and work hard, and that&#8217;s exactly what I am doing here.&#8221;

Fetterman was released from Walter Reed Medical Center in Washington, D.C., on <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/sen-john-fetterman-released-from-hospital" target="_blank" rel="noopener">March 31</a>. After being discharged, he returned home to Pennsylvania to continue his recovery, and returned to work on April 17, when the Senate returned from recess.
According to a <a href="https://twitter.com/frankthorp/status/1641919383147536384?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> from Dr. David Williamson, chief of neuropsychiatry and medical director of Walter Reed, Fetterman was admitted on February 15 with severe symptoms of depression, including low energy and motivation, minimal speech, poor sleep, slowed thinking, slowed movement, and feelings of guilt and worthlessness. Fortunately, Fetterman did not show signs of suicidal ideation. But his symptoms had progressively worsened over a period of eight weeks; Fetterman stopped eating and drinking, causing low blood pressure and possibly hurting blood flow to his brain.
Fetterman’s low blood pressure was attributed to poor hydration and weight loss. The Cardiology team adjusted his medications while his depression was handled with medication therapy. Fetterman’s mood steadily improved over the following weeks, the statement continued. He slept better, ate well, and hydrated, and he seemed happier and more motivated, and his attitude and engagement with others also improved. The report concluded that his depression went into remission because of the treatment. Fetterman committed to long-term treatment for depression, the report said.

Pennsylvania state troopers initiated a manhunt Sunday for former &#8220;Jackass&#8221; star Brandon &#8220;Bam&#8221; Margera after he allegedly attacked his brother and threatened to kill him and several others, including their father, according to police.   
Margera, 43, who also starred in his own MTV series dubbed &#8220;Viva La Bam,&#8221; faces six misdemeanor charges, including one charge of simple assault, one charge of harassment, and four charges of terroristic threats &#8220;with intention to terrorize another&#8221; a <a href="https://www.pacourts.us/Storage/media/pdfs/20230424/161439-criminalcomplaintmargera.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">criminal complaint</a> reads. 
Around 11:00 a.m., state troopers responded to a domestic disturbance at Margera&#8217;s $ 1.1 million Pocopson Township home, called &#8220;Castle Bam,&#8221; in Chester County after the &#8220;Jackass&#8221; personality allegedly had gotten into an altercation with his brother, Jesse Margera, three hours earlier. According to the complaint, Bam pounded and kicked his brother&#8217;s locked bedroom door and left a signed note threatening Jesse that read, &#8220;If you even f***ing think of calling the police on me I will officially f*** you up.&#8221; 
Jesse, 44, who plays drums for American punk band CKY, told police he eventually walked into the kitchen, where he found Bam urinating in the kitchen sink. The complaint alleges Bam started attacking Jesse in the face and body, leaving visible injuries on his face and right arm.
After the alleged altercation ended between the two brothers, Jesse told police that Bam threatened him, saying, &#8220;I&#8217;ll kill you. I&#8217;ll put a bullet in your head.&#8221; Bam allegedly threatened to &#8220;kill everyone in the house,&#8221; police wrote in the complaint, which included their father, Phillip Margera Jr., and two females.
When troopers arrived at the Margera home, authorities witnessed Bam fleeing the scene on foot toward the back of the property through a dense-wooded area. By the time several troopers had followed him into the woods, Bam had already disappeared.
Bam&#8217;s charges come amid a long history of legal problems and substance abuse issues, according to <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11950861/Bam-Margera-sued-threatening-use-brass-knuckles-man-loud-SEX-near-family.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Daily Mail.</a> Recent charges include a &#8220;drunk in public&#8221; arrest, domestic violence, and a current lawsuit from a neighbor who claims Bam threatened him with brass knuckles.
His wife, Nikki Margera, reportedly filed for divorce in February of this year, alleging Bam was not sober during a visit to their 5-year-old son Phoenix. She told TMZ the visit &#8220;was scary . . .and even more scary for Phoenix&#8221; when their last visit &#8220;went reasonably well&#8221; just 24 hours earlier.

Nikki requested legal and physical custody of their son but would allow supervised visitation with him in Los Angeles.
&#8220;This is the umpteenth time that Bam takes one step forward and ten steps back,&#8221; she said.
Pennsylvania State Police issued an arrest warrant for Bam and have asked the public to call 610-268-2022 for any help or information regarding his whereabouts as they continue searching for him.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/business">Anheuser-Busch</a> competitor Yuengling sent out a well-timed tweet as the Bud Light <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/boycott">drama</a> drags on.
About one hour after the Anheuser-Busch CEO posted a lengthy statement on Twitter that attempted to quell tension in the wake of the PR crisis, the small Pennsylvania-based <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/alcohol">beer brewery</a> Yuengling sent a tweet of its own.
&#8220;Yuengling, The Oldest Brewery In America. Independently Owned and Family Operated since 1829 because we make good beer,&#8221; the company wrote Friday alongside a photo of its traditional lager staged in front of an American flag.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/twitter">tweet</a>, which had close to five million views Tuesday morning, had a lot of support from fans. 
“Just found a new beer,” one user <a href="https://twitter.com/Willie_jmyers/status/1647726697641304068">wrote</a>.
“Good timing,” another person <a href="https://twitter.com/hcasan0va/status/1647262238909054977">said</a>.
“It just so happens I&#8217;m looking for a new favorite beer,” a third account <a href="https://twitter.com/KevinRich/status/1647310341825605641">replied</a>.
Yuengling&#8217;s tweet was shared just after Anheuser-Busch CEO Brendan Whitworth released a statement that didn’t apologize but did acknowledge that the company never intended to &#8220;divide people.&#8221;
&#8220;As the CEO of a company founded in America’s heartland more than 165 years ago, I am responsible for ensuring every consumer feels proud of the beer we brew. We’re honored to be part of the fabric of this country,” Whitworth wrote.

“Anheuser-Busch employs more than 18,000 people and our independent distributors employ an additional 47,000 valued colleagues,” he continued. “We have thousands of partners, millions of fans and a proud history supporting our communities, military, first responders, sports fans and hard-working Americans everywhere. We never intended to be part of a discussion that divides people. We are in the business of bringing people together over a beer.&#8221;
He was reacting to a controversy that began on April 1 when trans-identifying influencer Dylan Mulvaney announced a partnership with Bud Light. This included several social media promotional posts and a personalized beer can to commemorate the first anniversary of Mulvaney’s “Days of Girlhood” TikTok video series.
News of the partnership set off a firestorm online, leading to boycotts. Some big-name country stars including Kid Rock and John Rich said they support the boycott, while several Republicans argue that the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/step-aside-matt-walsh-tells-gop-establishment-youre-wrong-bud-light-boycott-matters">boycott should end</a> due to Anheuser-Busch providing donor cash to the GOP.
Meanwhile, Pennsylvania-based brand Yuengling is getting more attention online. The nation’s oldest operating brewery currently <a href="https://www.yuengling.com/news/yuengling-continues-westward-expansion-into-3-new-states/">sells its products</a> in 26 U.S. states after expanding to Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma in February 2023.

Republicans hold governorships and legislative majorities in 22 states, compared to 17 for Democrats and 11 states in which government is divided. Yet they don’t always act like it. The following is the fourth in a four-part series on Republican-dominated state legislatures and how they govern.
George Soros is a savvy businessman, and he realizes a good investment when he sees one. That’s why he began plowing money into normally obscure down-ballot races like district attorneys — they matter, and you can win a whole lot of elections with the same amount it might take to move a U.S. Senate contest a fraction of a point.
Conservatives have largely sat out that game, instead focusing on national races where people’s minds are largely already made up. Some responsibility rests on ordinary conservative voters, who likely can&#8217;t even name their state legislator. It&#8217;s partly the result of a shrinking media industry that has shuttered local papers that used to cover statehouses and local leaders, leaving people to get their information from national outlets that focus on the federal government.
But some strategists also say it’s the fault of wealthy conservative donors who would rather give to prominent Republicans out of vanity, and of lazy Republican consultants who would rather take a cut on big-dollar TV ad buys for a few U.S. Senate races than engage in on-the-ground battles for hundreds of state-level seats that could swing control of multiple state legislatures.
If conservatives ever want to win when it comes to policy — not just elections — something has to change, according to strategists who say they’re on the verge of a statehouse revolution. States aren&#8217;t just the junior varsity team for the federal government: they have power over everything that is not explicitly granted to the feds in the Constitution. 
Yet many states run by large Republican majorities haven&#8217;t moved as aggressively as less-Republican states like Florida, and some residents of those deep-red states are asking why. A Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/19-statehouses-have-bigger-republican-majorities-than-florida-this-group-is-making-sure-they-act-like-it" target="_blank" rel="noopener">analysis</a> relying on American Conservative Union voting scorecards found that South Dakota, North Dakota, Idaho, and Oklahoma all are more than 80% Republican-controlled, but that their Republican lawmakers are, on average, among the least conservative Republicans in the country — at 36th, 37th, 31st, and 35th.
Thomas Bradbury, director of advocacy and policy at the American Conservative Union, said Soros’ calculation was a brilliant one, and that conservatives could remake a dozen states into new Floridas if they redirected money from national races into statehouse ones. For the same amount as it might cost to influence one congressional election, they could elect a whole slate of school board candidates. And unlike a single congressman, that slate would have total control of decision-making.
“That is exactly what we should be doing as conservatives, rather than lining the pockets of some of these D.C. consultants so they can run more ads that don’t persuade any voters,” he told The Daily Wire.
“Conservatives need to get real that maybe spending all this money on congressional races to get one vote that doesn’t actually affect policy is not nearly as meaningful as spending money in states where the money goes further and they can actually implement policy,” he said. &#8220;At the local level, Soros succeeded by investing $40 million into 75 targeted DA races. An astute political operative with a cash-flush operation could do the same thing at the state level.&#8221;
In the 2020 election cycle, state Democrat candidates and party committees outraised Republicans at $1.3 billion to $1 billion, according to the <a href="https://www.followthemoney.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Center for Responsive Politics</a>. At the federal level, <a href="https://www.opensecrets.org/campaign-expenditures" target="_blank" rel="noopener">four</a> consulting firms alone, who often simply buy ads from TV stations and keep a cut, were paid $1 billion in the 2022 election cycle. Those include Waterfront Strategies, which handled ads for Democrat congressional leadership and took in $309 million; Flexpoint Media, which did the same for Republican congressional leaders at $246 million; and Republican firms Targeted Victory and Main Street Media. 
Even though most of that money went to expenses such as airtime rather than being kept as profit, D.C. consulting is such a gravy train that former Republican operative Steve Schmidt reportedly planned to accumulate <a href="https://19thnews.org/2021/02/lincoln-project-toxic-workplace/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#8220;generational wealth&#8221;</a> through processing ad buys for prominent races. That&#8217;s all despite the fact that not only is television increasingly irrelevant, but Americans increasingly have strong pre-existing opinions about big-ticket races and a skepticism that means that ads are less likely to persuade on such races.
“If you look at the funding on digital firms in the last election and compare it to how cheap it would have been to door-knock in some of these state races, it’s just insulting,” Bradbury said. “If we want to really impact people, we’ve got to do it at the state level.”
Bradbury said that so little work is put into opposition research at the state level that it harms candidate quality. A Democrat running for election as a moderate could actually be a radical, and no one would dig through his record and publicize it. A Republican could be running in the primary as conservative, without anyone uncovering that he is actually liberal. “At the state level there’s almost no work put into exposing what’s actually happening,” he said.
Connie Hair, who leads the State Freedom Caucus Network’s Louisiana chapter, said that renewed attention to state government would not just replace Democrats with Republicans, but also ensure that the Republicans who ran for office would actually run the state in a boldly conservative way. It makes sense for conservatives who want to help to direct their money to state lawmakers rather than well-heeled Washington politicians, she said: “They have real jobs or own businesses.  They are part time and make very very little money.” 
Some wealthy conservative donors may focus on federal races for selfish reasons, Bradbury said–wanting to count a household name as a friend. “Donors just need to realize that it might be cooler to say you can call a congressman up and talk to him, but imagine if for the same amount of money you were able to flip a number of state house seats and you could actually get bills through and get things accomplished. That’s a lot better to me and should be a lot better to the movement than just having the influence of one out of 535 members of congress,” he said.
But state races also affect federal ones because states set election laws. In Pennsylvania statehouse races in the 2020 election cycle, Democrats outspent Republicans <a href="https://ballotpedia.org/Fundraising_in_Pennsylvania_state_legislative_elections,_2020" target="_blank" rel="noopener">$22.8 million</a> to $14.4 million. Two years later, they took the state House for the first time in a decade–likely blocking Republicans from implementing election integrity reforms, and potentially helping U.S. Senate candidates win with the help of mail-in ballots in the future.

Police in Pennsylvania are looking into whether the man accused of killing four University of Idaho students could also be a suspect in other homicides in the area, according to a report from NewsNation.
The suspect, who is not being named by The Daily Wire, was arrested and charged in late December with murdering Kaylee Goncalves, 21; Ethan Chapin, 20; Xana Kernodle, 20; and Madison Mogen, 21, back on November 13 at their off-campus home. The suspect was arrested at his parents’ home in Pennsylvania six weeks after the four friends were stabbed to death.
Retired FBI agent Jennifer Coffindaffer <a href="https://www.newsnationnow.com/crime/idaho-college-killings/bryan-kohberger-other-deaths-pennsylvania/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> NewsNation that police could look at the suspect for similar murders in Pennsylvania.
“If they are looking at something very specific that’s unsolved with these parameters, they’re probably looking in the right direction,” she told the outlet. “I think it is a signature-type crime.”
Defense attorney Mark Geragos told the outlet that it’s common for police to link suspects like this to other unsolved crimes.
“In virtually every high profile case that is a circumstantial evidence murder case, you almost inevitably hear of some other unsolved murder and law enforcement looks to see if they can link whoever the suspect is,” Geragos told NewsNation. “For one thing I suppose it fills a vacuum — &#8216;Why did somebody do this when you don’t have a motive?&#8217; That is the most obvious explanation.”
More than <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/more-than-60-warrants-have-been-served-in-connection-with-the-university-of-idaho-murders" target="_blank" rel="noopener">60 warrants</a> have also been served to major companies and banks in connection to the murders, including Amazon, DoorDash, Reddit, and the owner of dating sites such as Tinder and OkCupid. The contents of the warrants are “sealed and redacted” as part of the murder case against the 28-year-old suspect.
Monroe County First Assistant Michael Mancuso <a href="https://www.brctv13.com/news/local-news/29279-monroe-county-officials-share-new-details-about-idaho-murder-suspect-s-arrest" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> BRC 13 that when the suspect was arrested, he “was found awake in the kitchen area dressed in shorts and a shirt [and] wearing latex medical type gloves and apparently was taking his personal trash and putting it into … separate zip lock baggies.”
Mancuso implied that the suspect was removing the trash to conceal his DNA. Investigators had been surveilling the home for weeks prior to the suspect’s arrest, and during that time, they searched the trash cans outside.
“A trash pull that was done days before recovered DNA profiles but not from him, only from his family members,” Mancuso told the outlet.
The news follows <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/heres-what-police-collected-when-they-arrested-the-accused-idaho-killer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">an unsealed search warrant</a> that listed items taken from the suspect’s parent’s home at the time of his arrest, including a flashlight, four medical-style gloves, a T-shirt, a Washington State Cougars sweatshirt, a pair of size 13 Nike shoes, as well as Under Armour black socks, shorts, and boxers. Police also collected a cheek swab from the suspect for DNA, People Magazine <a href="https://people.com/crime/newly-unsealed-search-warrant-items-bryan-kohberger-had-arrest/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.
Of the items taken, Mancuso said two could be important during the suspect’s trial.
“I would be keen on the shoes, the size of the shoes, comparison to any show impressions that might have been recovered at the scene that sort of thing,” he told BRC 13.
He added that the cheek swab would also play a significant role in court.
“Something that they could compare to the DNA of I believe the snap button for the sheath of the knife,” he said, referring to a knife sheath found at the off-campus residence where the victims were found stabbed to death.

On March 24, the R.M. Palmer Co. chocolate factory in West Reading, Pennsylvania, exploded, killing seven people and injuring ten others — but one worker, Patricia Borges, was saved after she fell into a vat of melted chocolate.
In an exclusive interview with the <a href="https://news.yahoo.com/factory-explosion-survivor-fire-fell-171950325.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Associated Press</a>, conducted from the hospital where Borges is being treated for injuries sustained during the blast, the worker told her incredible story.
At approximately 4:30 p.m. on the day of the explosion, Borges said that she smelled what she believed was natural gas. Borges told AP that she and several coworkers alerted a supervisor, who told them that a higher-up would have to make the call on a possible building evacuation. Less than 30 minutes later, the building exploded.
After the explosion, Borges’ arm caught fire. “I asked God why he was giving me such a horrible death. … I asked him to save me, that I didn’t want to die in the fire,” she told AP.
As Borges ran, the floor collapsed, and she landed in a vat of melted chocolate, which put out the fire on her body, but apparently broke bones in both of her feet.
Borges stood in the vat, up to her chest in chocolate. When firefighters arrived on scene, they began dousing the burning building with water, some of which filled the rest of the vat until Borges could no longer stand inside it.
After climbing out of the vat, she fell into a pool of water, swallowing some of it. Borges stayed in that water for hours, screaming for help, until a rescue dog identified her location for first responders.
Ken Pagurek, manager of emergency response team Pennsylvania Task Force 1, said that if Borges had not been rescued when she was, she might have also died.

Borges’ family has started a GoFundMe to help with medical costs incurred as a result of her injuries. Borges told AP that she wants accountability from the chocolate company, “For my colleague Judy, I want there to be justice.”
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/feds-open-investigation-into-chocolate-factory-explosion-that-left-7-dead" target="_blank" rel="noopener">opened an investigation</a> into the factory explosion.
Keith Holloway, a spokesman for the NTSB, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/pennsylvania-chocolate-factory-explosion-cc56391fbd868008de9abf103d8c50ca" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> the Associated Press that the agency is looking at “what caused, how and why the explosion occurred.” Government officials believe a natural gas pipeline nearby is linked to the explosion.
UGI Utilities, a gas and electric provider, is <a href="https://www.wfmz.com/news/area/berks/ugi-issues-statement-on-explosion-at-rm-palmer/article_b4a00572-cd8f-11ed-82b9-bf0ad5164680.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">working</a> with state and federal authorities in their probe. In a statement, UGI offered “heartfelt condolences to the victims and all those impacted” by the explosion, and pledged to get to the bottom of what caused the incident, in conjunction with other authorities.

Senator <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/john-fetterman" target="_blank" rel="noopener">John Fetterman</a> (D-PA) has been discharged from the hospital.
Fetterman was released from Walter Reed Medical Center in Washington, D.C., on Friday evening. He will return home to Pennsylvania to continue his recovery, then will return to work on April 17, when the Senate returns from recess. Fetterman <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/fetterman-checks-himself-into-hospital-for-mental-health-issues" target="_blank" rel="noopener">checked himself</a> into a mental health facility at Walter Reed in February, to be treated for clinical depression.
&#8220;I am so happy to be home,&#8221; Fetterman wrote in a post on his Senate <a href="https://twitter.com/SenFettermanPA/status/1641918638042038275?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Twitter</a> account. &#8220;I’m excited to be the father and husband I want to be, and the senator Pennsylvania deserves. Pennsylvanians have always had my back, and I will always have theirs.&#8221;
&#8220;I am extremely grateful to the incredible team at Walter Reed,&#8221; Fetterman added. &#8220;The care they provided changed my life. I will have more to say about this soon, but for now I want everyone to know that depression is treatable, and treatment works. This isn’t about politics — right now there are people who are suffering with depression in red counties and blue counties. If you need help, please get help.&#8221;
According to a <a href="https://twitter.com/frankthorp/status/1641919383147536384?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> from Dr. David Williamson, chief of neuropsychiatry and medical director of Walter Reed, Fetterman was admitted on February 15 with severe symptoms of depression, including low energy and motivation, minimal speech, poor sleep, slowed thinking, slowed movement, and feelings of guilt and worthlessness. Fortunately, Fetterman did not show signs of suicidal ideation. But his symptoms had progressively worsened over a period of eight weeks; Fetterman stopped eating and drinking, causing low blood pressure and possibly hurting blood-flow to his brain.
Doctors at the Neuropsychiatry Unit, along with Cardiolgy and Neurology specialists from Walter Reed, examined his medical records and performed additional tests. There were no signs of a new stroke, and his brain activity was stable. His heart was also healthy with no clots. Fetterman&#8217;s low blood pressure was attributed to poor hydration and weight loss. The Cardiology team adjusted his medications while his depression was handled with medication therapy.
<a class="c-link" href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://onelink.to/dwapp" data-sk="tooltip_parent" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-15488">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP</a>
Fetterman&#8217;s mood steadily improved over the following weeks, the statement continued. He slept better, ate well and hydrated, and he seemed happier and more motivated, and his attitude and engagement with others also improved. The report concluded that his depression went into remission because of the treatment. Fetterman committed to long-term treatment for depression, the report said.
The doctors also evaluated his auditory processing abilities, which were hampered by the stroke he suffered in May. Fetterman was fitted for hearing aids, and worked with speech therapists. Fetterman&#8217;s depression may have been a barrier to engaging with his doctors, the report stated, but improvement in his condition may have improved his speech abilities. Williamson said that his speech would continue to improve with continued outpatient rehab.
POLITICO first <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/report-reveals-when-pennsylvania-senator-john-fetterman-will-return" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> that Fetterman would return to the Senate on Wednesday. According to a report published by POLITICO, sources close to the freshman Keystone State senator have indicated that he recovered well and is ready to get back to work as soon as possible.
A source close to the senator told CNN that he would likely be “as good or better than his best days post-stroke.&#8221;
Fetterman&#8217;s colleague, Bob Casey (D-PA), told The Hill that he had visited Fetterman in recent days, remarking that he looked and sounded well.
