Congress eliminated public media funding, and the president signed it into law. At a time of deep division, public media brings us together.

Last year, the FTC banned two Big Oil executives from serving on the boards of oil giants Exxon and Chevron after it found they colluded to fix gas prices.
Trump’s FTC just overturned that ban.
His regime is rubber-stamping corporate corruption.

Emmet G. Sullivan - Wikipedia
9/And the judge? Not exactly a raving partisan. Judge Emmet Sullivan was appointed to DC Superior Court by Reagan, the DC Court of Appeals by Bush, & the fed'l bench by Clinton. He has a fascinating track record, holding the gov't to account no matter who's in the WH en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emmet_G...

A judge in DC has ruled that the Trump administration has to stop violating public disclosure laws. This is about the administration's efforts to take over Congress' power of the purse & altho the opinion is 60 pages, what the judge has to say is worth your time. ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show...

Donald Trump's modelling agency 'closing down' after 18 years
The modelling agency that President Trump founded could be shutting down for good.
Two models from the agency said "the company made them pay "sky-high" rent to live in crammed living quarters, while having to pay a "dizzying number" of fees and expenses.
The claims also suggest the agency had a history of employing foreign models, without work visas. "

Inside the Long Friendship Between Trump and Epstein
www.nytimes.com/2025/07/19/u... “The transcripts are unlikely to shed much light on the relationship between the two men … What seemed to draw them together, according to those who knew them at the time, was a common interest in hitting on — and competing for — attractive young women.

Former models for Donald Trump's agency say they violated immigration rules and worked illegally
"It's like modern-day slavery."
🔸 “It’s like modern-day slavery.”
🔸 “Honestly, they are the most crooked agency I’ve ever worked for."

WILD story. An 82-year-old from Chile lost his green card. In June, he went to pick up a new one at a USCIS office. While there, he was handcuffed and detained by ICE.
An unknown caller claiming to be a lawyer told family she could help. Later, she said he’d died. Now he’s turned up — in Guatemala!
