“No Kings” protests return to the Capital Region and Hudson Valley tomorrow. This time, they’re focused on early voting, which begins in New York on Oct. 24.

When Costco opened its Albany location, Joe Curley wasn’t sure he’d pay to join.
But the gas prices, which today were over $1/gallon cheaper than at local convenience stores, convinced him.

"The reporting these student journalists do helps me see trends cutting across campuses and get a sense of what is important for college students right now. And fairly often, college papers are the first ones to break big news stories on their campuses, and we have to chase after them."

You've probably seen some horrific posts of felony murder charges that landed hundreds in Pa. prisons. But how representative are they?
Turns out, those stories about sexual assault, arson and kidnapping make up a tiny portion of these crimes. Read more:

The Pennsylvania State Police is covering more municipalities than ever as local police departments face financial struggles and close their doors.
But can recruitment and funding keep up?

Last week, I spoke with the aunt of a man detained by ICE in the Pisgah National Forest, who said he was in the U.S. with a valid work permit and a pending asylum application.
"This was a kidnapping," she told me.

Ahead of the midterms, Pa. House Democrats have introduced legislation that would bar corporations from contributing to political campaigns.
“The power of that money diminishes the power of the Pennsylvania voter,” Rep. Joe Webster (D-Montgomery) said. penncapital-star.com/campaig…

As of last year, Pa. law requires businesses to submit annual reports with basic information about their companies.
But more than two dozen state lawmakers failed to make submissions for companies in which they reported a financial stake or earning $.

After an immigration rally at the Capitol today, multiple attendees told me Gov. Josh Shapiro’s support for immigrants and their rights could determine how they vote in November.
"I would not vote for Shapiro in this moment," one said.

After a series of songs from advocacy group Singing Resistance, rally attendees have now formed a conga line on the Capitol steps.
“Shapiro, we are here,” one of them is saying.
Advocates are gathering outside the Pa. Capitol to call on Gov. Josh Shapiro to end the state’s collaboration with ICE, shut down the Abraxas Academy detention center, and expand protections for immigrant communities.
.@SenTartaglione rises at the end of every state Senate session with one message for lawmakers: Raise Pennsylvania’s minimum wage.
Workers say they’re struggling to live comfortably making well below a living wage — which, in Pa., is over $22/hour. penncapital-star.com/labor/l…
