When billionaires conspire with fascists to capture media outlets, the impact on journalism isn't always obvious. In this case, we know about a story that CBS killed. In many cases, we never find out what they don't want us to know.

60 Minutes Quietly Killed Story About Epstein’s Shady Banking Tactics

Senator Ron Wyden sat for an interview with correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi about Jeffrey Epstein’s bank transactions. Alfonsi was fired for other reasons shortly after, and the story never aired.

"No man in this war has so well told the story of the American fighting man... He deserves the gratitude of all his countrymen." ~President Harry Truman on war correspondent Ernie Pyle after Pyle was killed on Okinawa in Apr. 1945. Pyle was born in Indiana OTD in 1900. Image: Library of Congress.

Request to fellow Dems of all stripes: Let's keep our analyses of primary results positive, recognizing that we're all in this together. I've heard some poisonous stuff behind the scenes recently. It helps no one. A diverse party energized by new ideas, voters & candidates is what we need now.

In Texas, Tarrant County Judge Tim O’Hare cleared the meeting room, silencing public opposition to the GOP plan to eliminate half of the battleground county’s Election Day voting locations before the midterms.

Todd Blanche's last-minute promise won over Senators Cornyn & Tillis, but shouldn't have. The "deal" leaves Trump's tax immunity intact. It confirms what the Senators should have already known about Blanche's lack of fitness to be AG. My analysis: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

The heat wave in Serbia has exposed World War II relics and brought dozens of Nazi-era German warships, scuttled during the 1944 retreat, back into view, because along with her cruel reality, nature is nothing if not ironic. www.npr.org/2026/08/04/n...

Europe's heat wave fuels drought, wildfires and fears about energy supplies

Europe's heat wave exposes buried history and new threats — Nazi-era wrecks emerge from the Danube, nuclear reactors face cooling risks, and Greece battles deadly wildfires.

Michael Popok on Todd Blanche's tax relief scheme for the Trump family: "How can you settle a case and have a super pardon for Donald Trump when the underlying case was illegitimate?"

A protected vote so #SelloutSusie looks moderate. Do NOT fall for this. If she really cared she would be pressuring more of her colleagues to vote no.

Susan Collins announces she will vote against confirming Todd Blanche to become Attorney General. This comes after Cornyn and Tillis said they will vote to confirm him. Murkowski has not said how she would vote to confirm him. Same for Bill Cassidy.

I have carefully reviewed Todd Blanche’s qualifications to be Attorney General. This includes his record and responses to questions from Senators at the Department of Justice Appropriations hearing, his confirmation hearing, and in the weeks that followed. While I believe Mr. Blanche is a capable lawyer, the Department of Justice has become increasingly political. Mr. Blanche has taken several actions that have further eroded the Department’s independence, and that is the basis for my vote to oppose his confirmation: Mr. Blanche approved an order to shield the President, his sons, and the family business from IRS audits, protections unavailable to other American taxpayers. He approved the creation of a $1.8 billion anti-weaponization fund. He promised an anti-abortion organization that he would seek to prohibit the mailing of abortion medication to women nationwide. Under his leadership, the Department attempted to indict Senators Mark Kelly and Elissa Slotkin over their ill-advised, but constitutionally protected, videos encouraging resistance to unlawful orders. More than 1,200 former Department of Justice employees have opposed his nomination, arguing that he has undermined the institution. For these reasons, I will vote against this nomination.
