Summary

Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner activated his office’s Election Task Force to ensure secure elections, warning potential disruptors with a blunt message: “F around and find out.”

The task force, working on a nonpartisan basis, will monitor for bad-faith challenges at polling sites. Krasner and Philadelphia Police Commissioner Kevin Bethel emphasized their readiness, with extra police presence and a command center in place.

Voters experiencing issues are encouraged to use hotlines for support. The task force will remain active until all votes, including overseas ballots, are certified.

Nothing says brotherly love like a couple guys beating the ever loving shit out of each other. Brush yourselves off, grab a beer together, and get some rest because you know the biggest brother is on his way and then it's really on.

That's such a Philly headline - DA set to go full Broad Street Bullies. Philly is also celebrating the 20th anniversary of one of the greatest hockey brawls ever this year.
