PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — After burning bridges built with Democrats over the last month, President Donald Trump and U.S. House and Senate Republicans face a spending bill showdown, putting the government, once again, at risk of shutdown, says CBS News congressional correspondent Scott MacFarlane. It's too early to know the potential effect on federal workers' pay or services to constituents.
To discuss this, plus the wave of nearly 100 lawsuits challenging the Trump administration's federal employee layoffs, and the criminal case against New York Mayor Eric Adams and its potential impact on federal prosecutions, MacFarlane joined KYW's Michelle Durham from New York City.
Michelle Durham: I wanted to start with this big wave of lawsuits, all aiming to stop the mass federal government layoffs that the Trump administration wants.
Scott MacFarlane: With huge impact throughout Southeast Pennsylvania. Hundreds if not thousands of local federal workers could be impacted. We're now up to nearly 100 lawsuits, legal challenges against the Trump administration, against some of their first month policies, which includes cutbacks at those federal agencies, from the National Archives to the U.S. Agency for International Development and, pending, to the Veterans Affairs Department—even the military in the coming days and weeks.
Philadelphia Front Page News Injury Law News Desk Brief: PVC pipe maker JM Eagle sues US asbestos law firm in racketeering case Forward news by REUTERS frontpagenews1@yahoo.com

May 13 (Reuters) - Plastic pipe maker JM Eagle has sued a U.S. law firm that filed hundreds of asbestos personal injury cases against it, marking the latest counterstrike by a defendant against the asbestos plaintiffs bar.
JM Eagle's lawsuit filed Friday in Chicago federal court under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, alleged that law firm Simmons Hanly Conroy suppressed evidence, used perjured or falsified testimony and statements, and committed fraud in the course of recovering billions of dollars from asbestos defendants in thousands of cases.
"These untrue statements have caused J-M Manufacturing to incur vast sums of litigation fees and expenses defending against claims brought by the firm," the lawsuit said. JM Eagle, which calls itself the world's largest plastic and PVC pipe manufacturer, was previously known as J-M Manufacturing.
Simmons Hanly is based in Alton, Illinois, and specializes in asbestos-related mesothelioma claims. The firm's managing partner, Laurence Nassif, said in a statement that JM Eagle's claims are "baseless" and that the company is trying to avoid "accountability for its dangerous practices and the harm it has caused innocent people."

PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — A former Philadelphia homicide detective will spend at least two and a half years behind bars after prosecutors say he helped put a man in prison for a murder he didn’t commit.
District Attorney Larry Krasner said Pitts was known in law enforcement circles for how he got confessions long before he violently coerced one out of Obina Onyiah for a 2010 murder at a jewelry store in Northeast Philly.
“Sadly, Detective Pitts — and those that have been in the system a long time know this — had a reputation for a long time for very questionable conduct in his homicide investigations,” he said.
The 2010 murder at the jewelry store came during an armed robbery that went bad and turned into a shootout, leaving one of the perpetrators and jeweler William Glatz dead. A second perpetrator escaped.
Philadelphia Front Page News Injury Law News Desk Brief: NJ Jury Awards $4.5M After Woman Trips on Carpet Forward news by New Jersey Law Journal frontpagenews1@yahoo.com
Plaintiff's counsel said the defense never raised their offer over $50,000 even though the homeowner’s insurance policy was for $500,000.
A 48-year-old woman who was seriously injured after tripping on a carpet at her sister’s Kenilworth home won a $4.5 million verdict from a Middlesex County jury.
Plaintiff Marzena Pogorzelska was visiting her sister when she tripped over a raised portion of an area rug in her sister’s family room. Her lawsuit, Pogorzelska v. Worldwide Floor Covering, was filed in May 2021 in Middlesex County Superior Court against Pogorzelska’s sister, Ewa Joseph, and Worldwide Wholesale Floor Coverings where the carpet was purchased, among other defendants. After an eight-day trial, the jury returned with the verdict after deliberating for just an hour and a half on Jan. 29.
The jury assigned liability percentages to the two defendants and the plaintiff. They found Joseph liable for 47%, Worldwide Flooring for 40%, and Pogorzelska for 13%. However, Worldwide and two other defendants settled the case before trial for an undisclosed amount. Joseph was liable for just over $2.1 million of the verdict, which grew to nearly $2.4 million with pre-judgment interest.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard, the Missouri woman who persuaded an online boyfriend to kill her mother after she had forced her to pretend for years that she was suffering from leukemia, muscular dystrophy and other serious illnesses, was released Thursday from prison on parole.
Blanchard was released early in the day from the Chillicothe Correctional Center, said Karen Pojmann, a spokesperson for the Missouri Department of Corrections. Blanchard was granted parole after serving 85% of her original sentence, Pojmann said.
Blanchard’s case sparked national tabloid interest after reports emerged that her mother, Clauddine “Dee Dee” Blanchard, who was slain in 2015, had essentially kept her daughter prisoner, forcing her to use a wheelchair and feeding tube.
Philadelphia Front Page News The Latest From Muti Ajamu-Osagboro: WE WON THE NO ARENA BATTLE! FIRST DAY BACK TO ADDRESS PHILLY CITY COUNCIL: SOULJAHS VS SELLOUTS!!! by Muti Ajamu-Osagboro (215) 803-1215
Today: January 23rd, 2025, Thursday, was a Day Of RECOGNITION & Reckoning!
WE RECOGNIZE That It Was A Day Were The Comrades Stepped Up For The Beloved, But, Besieged, Great State Of North Philadelphia, And All Of Philly, While The COWARDS, supported some Bloodsucking Billionaires Efforts To Further Gentrify (And Make Disappear) North Philly, By Pushing All Black N Brown ( N poor whites) Out Of These Coveted Sections Of The City.
It was a Day Of RECKONING for Both the Blood Suckers N Pols (Politicians: the mayor and the “city council cowards” who followed her MISLEADERSHIP and voted to annex Chinatown n build a soul sucking Sports Arena right next to an INSTITUTION, that is a staple of Philly Diversity).
They (The Cowards) Lost! And, WE (The Comrades) THE “TAKE IT TO STREETS” PEOPLE…. WON!!!
To watch the full video click on the image.
OUR VICTORY WAS SURELY THEIR VANQUISHMENT!! The local white supremacy media (WSM) celebrated how mayor cherelle parker ‘green lit the project’. When in truth, mayor parker actually “GASLIT THE GOOD PEOPLE OF PHILADELPHIA, by stoking the flames of anti-Asian discontentment. Blowing, several times, a loud anti-Asian white supremacist dog whistle. Spewing some of the most vile white supremacist tropes about OUR Asian Sistah’s n Brothers. This is the M.O. of a latter-day BLACKFACE WHITE SUPREMACIST who is still trying to please ALL of the WHITE BOYS @ The PROPERTY PREDATORS BALL… And at the same give lip service to Black folks that she down for OUR disenfranchised N oppressed cause.
But Afrikan & Asian Alliance Against Gentrification: No Arena!, Did NOT and Will NOT STAND for any type of minstrel showing in 2025, bec WE did NOT STAND FOR IT LAST YEAR.
THE FIVE SHEROES N HEROES THAT STOOD UP FOR US MUST BE LAUDED N SUPPORTED IN EVERY WAY THAT IS HUEMANLY POSSIBLE.
The FABULOUS FIVE COUNCIL Members: Councilwomen: Jamie Gauthier; Rue Landau, and Kendra Brooks; Bookend by Councilmen: Nicolas O’ Route; and Jeffery Young, Jr.
This FAB FIVE formed a perfect pentagon pointed STAR to FIGHT FOR, AND DEFEND THE RIGHTS OF, HOME OWNERS AND THE HOMELESS. Big HUEman Rights Lovers and Small Landlords; Sustainable Job Seekers and Job Creators; Home Grown Civic Cultivators and NOT Outside Civic Colonizers.
Undeniably, the brightest star in this neo political constellation was Councilmember O’ Rourke, of the independent, Family Workers Party. (FWP). O’ Rourke’s Leadership In This Battle For The People’s Property, is Analogous To The North (Philly) Star That Gives Guidance To The Dejected, Rejected, Beat Down, Lost And ModernDay Runaway Enslaved Afrikans Seeking Economic, Cultural And Political Uhuru (FREEDOM).
Chinatown, and most of North Philly, represent the section in the city—between two rivers— where the waves of the FAB FIVE’S stardom, can ripple for decades after touching tens of thousands, millions, of souls that have been bombarded by disenfranchisement from amerika’s beginning; However, it was and is, Councilmember O’ Rourke’s stellar leadership by giving a fact laden, and evidence saturated blitz, on the Council floor, session after session, after session that literally operated as beacon that politically carried us through the Darkest Economic Night, perhaps in Philly History. And will continue to do so in these up coming financially, spiritually, socially and culturally turbulent times, where the battles with the new white house administration are certain.
In closing, for the SellOuts, from the mayors office on down: male and female. The Grassroots People POWER made those Bloodsucking Billionaires Back Off The ARENA Deal, even though the majority of City Council N the mayor gave them a blank check to RAPE NORTH PHILLY AND DISPLACE, DECIMATE AND DECONSTRUCT Chinatown.
You gatekeepers, got GATE KEPT! Y’all slept, WE DIDN’T!!! Though the White Boy Billionaires thoroughly understood that if they moved forward with the building of the arena in North Philly, by annexing Chinatown, that WE WOULD NOT HAVE ALLOWED THEM TO EVER BE COMFORTABLE WITH THEIR STOLEN BOOTY. But, in an act of poetic justice, the The Bloodsuckers wanted to save face and at the same time spin the narrative to pretend People Power Had Nothing To Do With Them STANDINGDOWN. Thus, The “Neo good ole boys” wanted to send a clear message to the mostly BLACK N Brown Politicians that gave them the blank check, BY VOTING TO ALLOW THEM To BUILD THE ARENA. ‘OOOH! WE Changed OUR Minds, Bec WE Don’t Need U Knee-gros To Build OUR Arena. (You Politicians ARE POLITICALLY IMPOTENT IN OUR WORLD OF HIGH FINANCE).
Lastly, PROSTITUTION IS LEGAL IN SOME STATES IN amerika, illegal in others. WHEREAS POLITICAL WHORING IS NOT ILLEGAL ANYWHERE, BUT IT IS IMMORAL, AND UNETHICAL. SO, ALL OF THE POLITICAL WHORES WHO GOT ON THEIR KNEES 4 THE BILLIONAIRE WHITE BOYS. WHEN YALL GOT UP OFF YALL KNEES WITH DNA ON YALL FACES, DON’T BE MAD AT THE TRICKS, NOR PROSTITUTION. BE ANGERY WITH YRSELF FOR CHOOSING TO BE A POLITICAL WHORE. CANT BE CLEAN, IN A DIRTY GAME. UHURU!
