This week’s biggest Winners & Losers

Marcia Griffiths said it best: It’s electric. A Brooklyn-based startup called “it’s electric” has reached an agreement with the City of Philadelphia to install up to 1,000 Level 2 curbside electric vehicle chargers across the city. We’re sure the citywide rollout will have EV drivers ready to boogie-woogie.

Step aside, Disney. The family-owned-and-operated Knoebels Amusement Resort in Elysburg, Pennsylvania, is receiving national acclaim after being named the country’s top amusement park in TripAdvisor’s “Best of the Best” list. TripAdvisor noted that Knoebels is the nation’s largest free-admission amusement park, praising its roller coasters, kid-friendly rides, swimming and camping options, and 18-hole golf course that all make for a “memorable family-friendly visit.”

Did the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia just win another battle against the Trump administration, or has it won the war for transgender patient confidentiality? It’s too early to say, but the hospital – and legions of families – are celebrating the U.S. Department of Justice’s sudden decision to voluntarily relinquish its legal quest to obtain CHOP’s confidential medical records of youths receiving gender-affirming treatment.

A Wilkinsburg man running for U.S. Senate was recently arrested for threatening to kill President Donald Trump and threatening the family of an unidentified member of Congress, going so far as to ask that member of Congress to put a firearm to the president’s head, according to local reports. Raymond Chandler III is facing felony charges after leaving a series of threatening voicemails to the unidentified lawmaker, in which he referred to Trump as the “antichrist” and asked the member of Congress to imagine a violent mob outside their home.

The prognosis is grim for Dr. Brian Conor Jacobs’ medical career, which took what appears to be a fatal turn last fall when the Hershey Medical Center resident’s ex-girlfriend, a nurse manager, reportedly stole his phone and sent a series of unflattering emails that led to Jacobs’ firing. The emails, some of which included screenshots of faked conversations, sent HIV and cremation kits to his family; harassed his ex-girlfriends; tried to deceive his mother into thinking he'd killed himself; and attempted to cancel his lease. Jacobs, who lost several appeals, is now suing the medical center in hopes of reviving his career.

The call was not coming from inside the house. A juvenile who self-identified as a member of the Purgatory cybercriminal group is facing charges in connection with a series of swatting calls last year, including one that targeted Villanova University. The suspect, who allegedly called in the active shooter hoax, has been linked to another swatting threat called into the University of Colorado Boulder last August.
