Dombrowski had a lot of answers for a disappointing Phillies season during his year-end news conference on Thursday. He didn’t offer many solutions.

"Big Phan" — which premiers Saturday at the Philadelphia Film Festival — took two years to finish as the Kepner brothers tapped into their childhood and told a story that only they could.

Barkann's fiery voice has been noticeably absent following two high-profile losses by the Eagles and Phillies.

To help put another short playoff run in perspective, Franzke joined The Inquirer’s baseball podcast to weigh in on many of the issues they face going into 2027.

In 2024, many younger voters supported the president and his party. Half way through his term, they're swinging away.

Pennsylvania Democratic challengers in other swing districts, however, are far outpacing Republican incumbents in fundraising.

House Speaker Mike Johnson could try to continue his leadership role, but contenders like Steve Scalise and Jim Jordan wait in the wings.

Pennsylvania lost 17% of its farms and 8% of its acreage between 2012 and 2022 — twice the national rate.

The current bid on the away burgundy jersey worn his junior year is $450,000 and is expected to sell for over between $1 million and $2 million. It's the second time this jersey has been up for sale.
