‘Let Obamacare fail,’ Trump says after GOP health care plan collapses

<p>PHILADELPHIA (AP) &#8212; The Philadelphia Water Department is trying to figure out what caused thousands of cockroaches to emerge from a manhole and swarm a neighborhood.</p><p>Pat Wall tells WCAU-TV that the bugs emerged Sunday night and have been invading her Bridesburg neighborhood ever since. She says the bugs were so thick residents couldn&#8217;t see the ground.</p><p>Water department spokesman John DiGiulio says crews will be out Tuesday investigating. He says a sewer inlet might be clogged with food and trash that can attract the bugs, which are also known to multiply in warmer weather.</p><p>In the meantime, residents say they&#8217;re spraying their homes and stomping the bugs to keep them away.</p><style>
