Former popular Chalfont pizza shop owner sentenced in shooting death of partner

Joan Specter, the former City Council member, gourmet baker, food columnist, and wife of the late U.S. Senator Arlen Specter has died. She was 90 years old.

Specter was elected to Council as a Republican in 1979 and served for 16 years. She's remembered, in part, for her fight against institutional racism, saying Philadelphia hopes "to set a pattern and rally support for other cities to follow suit."

Services will be held Tuesday at Har Zion Temple in Penn Valley.

The justices ruled unanimously to send the cases back to lower courts.

Trade groups for Facebook, TikTok, X, and YouTube claimed new laws in Florida and Texas violated their free speech rights. Republican governors who signed the bills complained the social media companies were censoring people based on their viewpoints.

In another case, the Supreme Court opened the door to broad new challenges to federal regulations, long after they take effect.
