Good morning, Philadelphia.

On Monday morning, a large water main broke at Perth and Thompson streets in North Philly and flooded nearby homes by carrying water and debris down Thompson and Franklin streets—about 5 feet of water filled one basement and nearly a dozen cars were towed while crews cut power, and officials have yet to say when repairs will be finished.

Pennsylvania election officials announced a redesigned provisional ballot envelope that makes it clearer where voters and poll workers must sign—Philadelphia will use the new design in November municipal elections as counties may opt in with financial help available.

The update aims to cut technical errors that led to a surge in ballot rejections in the 2024 general election.

The Pennsylvania House passed a bill in late June that will force campaigns to include a clear disclosure in any election ad featuring AI deepfakes (with daily fines up to $15,000 for local races and $250,000 for national contests) during the 90 days before an election.

The measure now moves to the state Senate for review as lawmakers work to protect voters from deceptive political ads.

The Eagles will begin summer Training Camp soon at NovaCare Complex with new quarterback coach Scott Loeffler joining veteran Jalen Hurts as the team prepares a battle for the backup QB spot among Dorian Thompson-Robinson, Tanner McKee, and rookie Kyle McCord — officials say the camp will test each player's mechanics and teamwork — as the season approaches.

The Phillies selected Arkansas pitcher Gage Wood 26th overall in Sunday night’s draft after he threw a no-hitter on June 16.

Team officials said his fastball and mix of pitches make him a promising starter—Philadelphia fans are expected to learn to love him.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts improved his game by refining his footwork, decision-making and mental focus, helping him excel at Super Bowl LIX on February 9th.

He built his skills from the ground up + earned the trust of teammates and fans with each deliberate improvement.
