1/ More than 50,000 people have graduated from Abington (PA) High School, so, last week, I was honored and humbled to have been among the 120 or so inducted into its Hall of Fame since 1928.

This notice (from the PA courthouse where I started my legal career) will become commonplace in all courthouses soon. 🥸

20 years ago, An Inconvenient Truth put climate change at the center of global debate, shaping politics, influencing leaders, and inspiring a generation of activists. Two decades later, we can assess not just its impact, but its accuracy. Many of the film’s most alarming predictions did not materialize, while many of the policies it inspired have proven costly and ineffective. The lesson? Panic is a poor guide for public policy. Focusing on innovation, adaptation, and economic development can do far more to help both people and the climate—at a fraction of the cost. financialpost.com/opinion/bj…

This is in line with the Reagan Justice Department perspective, which I defended to reporters on a daily basis as a (very young!) Justice Department spokesman.
🔥Hot off the presses: @TheJusticeDept issued an opinion today explaining that disparate-impact liability under federal employment law is *unconstitutional*. This is an earthquake in federal civil rights law. If right, this is the foundation to overturn that pernicious regime.

My dad passed away somewhat suddenly this morning. I quickly gathered some things and got on the road to Vermont. Then I was asked to write the obit. There are curveballs in life, and then there are sitting-in-a-gas-station-parking-lot-summarizing-dad’s-life curveballs…

If your organization doesn’t have an up to date crisis communications plan and media trained leaders, you’ll be flat footed in your response to a successful hack of your systems from a criminal weaponizing Mythos.
JUST IN: Claude Mythos projected to be unleashed today. 72% chance. polymarket.com/event/claude-…

I argue, squabble, and cross examine the 4-5 AI platforms I use for a variety of things. But how to argue with this (from a query posed this week, in June 2026)?

Ohio families should be able to enjoy a festival, fundraiser, or community event without fear of violence. What happened in Toledo and what we’ve seen in communities across Ohio is unacceptable. We need leaders who will back law enforcement, restore accountability, and make clear that violent crime has consequences.

It's 90 degrees outside today. Inside parts of some Columbus fire stations? Firefighters say it feels like a giant hot box. With no air conditioning, they're sweating through uniforms while trying to sleep, eat, recover, and prepare for the next emergency call. These are the people expected to perform CPR on your child, carry your grandmother down stairs, force entry into burning buildings, and make life-or-death decisions at 3 a.m. The city expects them to operate at their best, yet some are working and recovering in conditions that make that harder every day. City leaders need to stop treating basic station conditions as a future discussion and fix them now. Safe, functional fire stations are not optional—they are part of providing reliable emergency services to the public. Columbus has the resources and the responsibility to address this problem immediately. Residents should demand a clear timeline, transparent accountability, and action from city officials until every firefighter has a station that supports the critical work they are asked to do every day.

Today, we honor the heroes of D-Day whose courage on the beaches of Normandy changed the course of history. Their sacrifice secured the freedoms we enjoy today. We must never forget.

Just before I went to grad school, I served as a Juvenile Probation intern and the kids I worked with were in Lansdale. Decades later, as a prosecutor, I prosecute these kinds of cases. Sad to see this happening there.

On June 6, 1944, ordinary Americans became the guardians of freedom. They crossed an ocean, stormed the beaches of Normandy, and changed the course of history through courage, sacrifice, and love of country. Eighty-two years later, Freedom 250 remembers the heroes who gave everything so freedom could endure. 🇺🇸

Big government programs need to be held accountable. Medicaid is meant to serve the vulnerable, not enrich bad actors who exploit weak controls.

What happens to a black bear after it's been trapped in a PA neighborhood? Our members got to learn the answer to this question and many more after spending a day with SGW Ryan Zawada of the @PAGameComm.

In this odd WSJ story, the writer suggests that a city is made more livable by the stink of pot, public housing, angry blaring of car horns and lots of traffic. 🤡 There's a reason why the trend is to the exurbs and small towns: less of this garbage means higher quality of life.

Dr. Oz is right to call this out. In our March testimony, we specifically warned that roughly 12% of Ohio’s home health care agencies were concentrated in just two ZIP codes near Morse Road and State Route 161. It is exactly why we have been pushing for stronger controls, better data, and real accountability in Medicaid.
.@DrOzCMS on the healthcare fraud he's seen in Ohio: "Unfortunately, this area around Columbus is responsible for 1/3 of all of the $1.5B spent on home healthcare in Ohio... that's 3x what you would expect... it defies belief. Some of these buildings were vacant."

Ohio Auditor Keith Faber has uncovered nearly $9 billion in waste, fraud, and abuse—including $118 million in Medicaid payments for prisoners and dead people in a single audit. A national government watchdog group just named him one of the top state financial officers in the country for protecting taxpayer dollars. @RebeccaRoseGold reports: dailysignal.com/2026/06/03/o…

At a time when affordability is top of mind for Ohioans, we cannot allow taxpayer dollars to be lost to fraud, waste, and abuse. Every dollar should be spent as intended, serving the people these programs were created to help.
🚨 @OhioAuditor Faber delivers a powerful walkthrough of the devastating real-life impact of fraud and corruption plaguing Medicaid and other critical programs before @GOPOversight.

Thank you again Chairman @RepBrandonGill for the invitation to testify. I was proud to share our work with Congress as we continue fighting to protect taxpayers and the vulnerable Ohioans Medicaid is meant to serve.
Auditor Faber testified before the U.S. House of Representatives Task Force on Defending Constitutional Rights and Exposing Institutional Abuses about Medicaid fraud, waste, and abuse and how our office is promoting transparency and accountability on behalf of taxpayers.
