Delaware Detects First Wild Deer Case of Chronic Wasting Disease, Initiates Response Plan

Delaware has confirmed its first case of Chronic Wasting Disease in a wild white-tailed deer, with USDA confirmation; a second deer is awaiting confirmation. DNREC has activated its CWD Response Plan, creating a 5-mile CWD Management Zone around the Sussex County harvest and planning cluster sampling, with possible mandatory deer check-ins for testing next season. There is no known human risk, but hunters should test meat and follow biosecurity guidance while officials conduct ongoing surveillance and hold public briefings.

Musk Takes the Stand in Twitter Takeover Trial, Defends Deal Tactics and Bot Claims

Elon Musk testified in a San Francisco jury trial to defend himself against claims he misled investors and used tactics to back out of his $44 billion Twitter takeover, arguing the deal warranted renegotiation and that Twitter overstated bot figures; he described heated exchanges with Twitter’s board and said he pursued the deal after his lawyers warned a Delaware judge might rule against him, a decision he framed as a windfall for shareholders even as Twitter stock fell during the dispute.

Mid-Atlantic snowstorm piles up record daily totals across PA, DE and NJ

A powerful nor’easter dumped heavy snow across the Mid-Atlantic, breaking daily records in Atlantic City, Philadelphia, Trenton and Wilmington. By midday, Atlantic City neared 17 inches and Philadelphia about 14 inches, with Mount Holly forecasting up to 20 inches; Sussex County, Del., saw as much as 19 inches, and parts of Monmouth and Middlesex counties in New Jersey reported over two feet. While these are notable daily records, meteorologists say the winter’s total snowfall is unlikely to reach long‑term seasonal records, which exceed about 70 inches in some winters. The storm should taper off this afternoon with potential coastal flooding in low‑lying areas, and additional snow is possible later in the week.
