Arrests made during pro-Palestinian march at City Hall

Some Great Valley Middle School students allegedly created fake profiles on TikTok impersonating staff and teachers over this last school year, according to a New York Times article.

NYT reported about 20 educators in the Chester County-based school district learned they were victims of these fake accounts, which had inappropriate content posted on the popular social media app.

In a message from Superintendent Daniel Goffredo, he said he was disappointed and sad, and the students caused “a profound impact” on staff members.

He said they are looking at ways to strengthen the curriculum to address “digital citizenship.” The statement also says some of the middle schoolers’ behavior is protected by the right of free speech and expression, and the district enacted whatever discipline they were legally able to.

Closing arguments are expected today in the federal bribery trial of New Jersey Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez. He did not testify in his own defense and, when he left court on Wednesday, he said he didn't believe prosecutors proved their case. Prosecutors allege Menendez and his wife accepted hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes from three New Jersey businessmen. Two of those businessmen are on trial with him. A third pleaded guilty and testified against him.

The senator's lawyers have tried to shift blame to his wife, Nadine Menendez. She is expected to face trial next month. It was postponed because she is recovering from breast cancer surgery.

The heat out west has turned deadly. A motorcycle rider died Saturday while riding with a group through Death Valley, California, where it was a record 128 degrees. Another rider was hospitalized. It was so hot that a medical helicopter wouldn't help because they can't safely fly when it's hotter than 120. Las Vegas also set a record of 120 degrees.

Unfortunately, it's only going to get hotter this week. Death Valley is forecast to hit 130 degrees -- just four degrees shy of the hottest temperature ever recorded on Earth, which was also in Death Valley.
