“It was just scary,” said Emma Anderson, director of the Clairton Public Library, while sitting in her office.

Ms. Anderson had been in that exact spot — white fan rattling away — when the explosion sounded. Initially, she thought someone was trying to break into the back door of the building.

Then the sirens started.

Tiffani Hurts thought something had hit her house after the explosion.
She and her husband ran outside — where they saw a plume of smoke rising from...

Officials said the next steps include interviewing employees who were directly involved as well as bringing in outside experts and internal U.S. Steel experts.

Rescue efforts gave way to the early stages of reconstruction and investigation at U.S. Steel’s Clairton Coke Works late Monday when the final employee...

Milwaukee beat the Pirates 7-1 on Monday night at American Family Field in Milwaukee. Brewers starter Jose Quintana completed six strong innings and improved to 10-4. Pirates starter Andrew Heaney took the loss, falling to 5-10, after allowing six runs on nine hits, two walks and two hit batters in four innings.

The Brewers are currently the best team in baseball. The Pirates are not. The difference showed Monday.

The Texas GOP House majority wants to redraw districts so that five more Republicans can be elected to Congress. Trump is pushing other Republican-controlled legislatures to follow suit as he tries to avoid a repeat of the 2018 midterms.

In a response to the Texas GOP plan, California Gov. Gavin Newsom is considering new boundaries to yield a five-seat shift toward Democrats, neutralizing any Texas change. But California's plan would have more hurdles to get through.

Texas Republicans were unable again Monday to approve new congressional districts to meet President Donald Trump's demands as California Gov. Gavin Newsom...

ADRIANA E. RAMÍREZ | Every dollar put into mass transit generates up to five dollars in economic activity. But that hasn’t stopped state senators from rural counties from arguing against funding Pittsburgh Regional Transit (PRT) and Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA), claiming it harms rural communities.

My friend Amy, who lives on a farm in rural Pennsylvania, has Big Feelings about mass transit. She doesn’t understand why her neighbors are against...

Rodgers didn’t start hot in practice as the defense won the seven shots with a score of 4-3. The first play for Rodgers was a perfectly thrown ball on a DK Metcalf corner route over Darius Slay Jr. for a touchdown.

The Steelers opened up their passing attack more with Aaron Rodgers during their 14th practice of training camp at Saint Vincent College on Monday afternoon.

Heyward said his agents first approached the Steelers about the adjustment on his three-year, $45 million deal that he signed last year at the NFL combine in February.

He also divulged the Steelers originally asked him to take a pay cut in 2023 following an injury-riddled season for Heyward that saw his production decline after an early-season stint on injured reserve with a sports hernia.

Heyward said he and his agents have been seeking an adjustment on his contract since late February.

Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise reacts to Mason Rudolph's impressive effort in the Steelers' preseason opener against the Jaguars live around 5 p.m. Eastern.

Did Rudolph deserve more consideration as the starter from coach Mike Tomlin and GM Omar Khan prior to the signing of Aaron Rodgers? Are his preseason results worth taking seriously, especially without key offensive pieces like DK Metcalf and Jonnu Smith in the lineup? And if Aaron Rodgers struggles to lead OC Arthur Smith's offense, how quickly should Tomlin consider turning to Rudolph?

Paul tackles those questions and more from the win against the Jaguars. What should we make of big nights from Scotty Miller, Roman Wilson and Darnell Washington? How good can Payton Wilson be at middle linebacker? And should Skyler Thompson get a chance to make the roster at QB amid Will Howard's injury?
