The U.S. House Oversight Committee is scrutinizing the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) expediting the approval of billionaire plutocrat George Soros acquiring numerous American radio stations through Audacy Inc. The purchasing spree, which required FCC consent, has been fast-tracked, raising questions about the agency’s impartiality.
FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr has told Congress that “the FCC is not following its normal process” in authorizing Soros’s radio takeover. He notes there is “one way in which you can get approval from the FCC when you have an excess of 25 percent foreign ownership” for such transactions, but “the FCC is poised to create, for the first time, an entirely new shortcut” for Soros.

House Oversight Chair Representative James Comer (R-KY) and Rep. Nick Langworthy (R-NY) have written a letter to FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel expressing their concerns that “By all appearances, the FCC majority isn’t just expediting, but is bypassing an established process to do a favor for George Soros and facilitate his influence over hundreds of radio stations before the November election.”
The Hungarian-born investor, convicted of insider trading in Europe, is a major donor to the Democrats, and it was the votes of Democrat commissioners at the FCC that authorized his radio purchases.
Today, the FCC released the text of its 3-2 decision to allow a group backed by Dem megadonor George Soros to purchase 200+ radio stations.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Likely Republican voters surveyed by the Democracy Institute and Daily Express US.
🎯IMPACT: Despite dissatisfaction, 87 percent would still vote Republican if Trump doesn’t release the files.
IN FULL
New polling data conducted by the reliable and right-leaning Democracy Institute in collaboration with the Daily Express US reveals that 71 percent of likely Republican voters feel disappointed by Donald Trump’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files. The survey, which took place on July 16–17, involved 1,300 likely Republican voters and has a margin of error of ±3 percent.
Despite the significant dissatisfaction, 87 percent of respondents indicated they would still vote Republican even if Trump chooses not to release the Epstein-related documents. A small percentage, three percent, said they would vote Democrat, four percent would opt for a third-party candidate, and six percent expressed they would abstain from voting.
The survey also highlights that 67 percent of participants believe Trump’s stance on the Epstein files could potentially weaken the Republican Party. Conversely, 20 percent disagreed with this sentiment, and 13 percent said they were uncertain.
Moreover, the poll finds that 77 percent of Republican voters think Trump was wrong to criticize MAGA supporters who have voiced frustration over the non-release of the files. Seventeen percent supported Trump’s criticism, while six percent were unsure.
The poll used interactive voice response technology on landlines and cell phones. It was weighted by gender, age, education, income, region, voting history, and party identification.
❓WHAT HAPPENED:WarRoomhost and former White House Chief Strategist Stephen K.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The footage was recorded in 2018, with Bannon committing to its release in July 2025.
💬KEY QUOTE: “We’re gonna release the film, the five-part series, next year, early next year.” – Stephen K. Bannon
🎯IMPACT: Bannon says The Monsters is about “how the elites and the intelligence services are inextricably linked.”
IN FULL
In 2021, the New York Post released a trailer for a documentary about deceased child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, produced by WarRoom host and former White House Chief Strategist Stephen K. Bannon. The footage, which reportedly includes over 15 hours of interviews, has not been released, with Epstein’s brother, Mark Epstein, publicly calling on Bannon to release the tapes of Friday, demanding, “Let me see the videotapes. He’s my brother.” However, Bannon has already committed to releasing the footage.
“We’re gonna release the film, the five-part series, next year, early next year,” Bannon said earlier this month. “And by the way, the entire thing is how the elites and the intelligence services are inextricably linked… You’re gonna have to name names and you’re gonna have to understand how the elites in the world, but also the intelligence services, are inextricably linked in Epstein’s story,” he reiterated,” adding: “That’s the key.”
The unfinished documentary, tentatively titled The Monsters: Epstein’s Life Among the Global Elite, was intended to expose how powerful global actors and institutions supported Epstein’s actions. It has long been suspected that Epstein collected blackmail on the people he trafficked minors to, possibly on behalf of a foreign intelligence service such as the Mossad.

Notably, Mark Epstein has expressed doubts about the official explanation of his brother’s death, which was ruled a suicide in 2019. “More and more, I believe he was murdered,” he said last week, adding that anyone who examines the facts would reach the same conclusion.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) under President Donald J. Trump recently said that they believe Epstein died by suicide, releasing footage from a surveillance camera near his cell said to prove no one entered the area where he was detained around the time of his death. However, it was later determined that the “raw” footage had actually been edited, with several minutes missing from it.
Bannon has been one of the key figures in MAGA pushing for greater transparency since the DOJ attempted to effectively close the Epstein case, urging President Donald J. Trump to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate it.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED:Donald Trump, the Washington Commanders, the NFL, and Major League Baseball’s Cleveland Guardians.
📍WHEN & WHERE: Trump’s comments were posted on Truth Social on Sunday, referencing a proposed new stadium at the RFK Stadium site in Washington, D.C.
💬KEY QUOTE: “I may put a restriction on them that if they don’t change the name back to the original Washington Redskins and get rid of the ridiculous moniker Washington Commanders I won’t make a deal for them to build a stadium in Washington.” – Donald Trump
🎯IMPACT: Trump’s comments have reignited debate over team name changes and their cultural significance, while also pressuring local officials on the stadium project.
IN FULL
President Donald J. Trump has threatened to block the Washington Commanders’ proposed new stadium unless the team reverts to its former name, the Redskins. In a post shared on July 20 on Truth Social, Trump said there’s a “big clamouring” for the name to change back, calling the current title “ridiculous.”
“I may put a restriction on them that if they don’t change the name back to the original ‘Washington Redskins,’ and get rid of the ridiculous moniker, ‘Washington Commanders,’ I won’t make a deal for them to build a Stadium in Washington,” Trump wrote. “The team would be much more valuable and the deal would be more exciting for everyone.”
The NFL franchise abandoned the Redskins name in July 2020 after years of left-wing heckling that it was offensive to Native Americans. The team temporarily went by the Washington Football Team before officially rebranding as the Commanders in 2022.
In April, a deal was struck to build a new 65,000-seat stadium on the site of the old RFK Stadium, which served as the team’s home from 1961 to 1997.
Trump also referenced the Cleveland Guardians in his Truth Social post, encouraging Major League Baseball’s team to return to its former name, the Cleveland Indians, which was retired in 2021. “Our great Indian people, in massive numbers, want this to happen,” he wrote. “Their heritage and prestige is systematically being taken away from them.”
When asked about Trump’s comments, Guardians president Chris Antonetti said: “Not something I’m tracking or paying a lot of attention to. But I would say generally, I understand there are very different perspectives on the decision we made a few years ago. It’s a decision we made and we’ve gotten the opportunity to build the brand as the Guardians over the last four years, and we’re excited about the future.”
Earlier this year, Trump made headlines when he became the first sitting president to attend a Super Bowl. He was present at the February matchup, where the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 40–22.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The TRANS MICE Act (HR 4512) was introduced in Congress in July.
💬KEY QUOTE: “This legislation brings accountability, ends taxpayer-funded cruelty, and ensures science serves the public, not ideology.” – Nancy Mace
🎯IMPACT: The bill seeks to end taxpayer funding for experiments altering animals’ biological sex and stop advancing political agendas through research.
IN FULL
Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) has proposed a bill to ban federal taxpayer funding for transgender animal research. This spring, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) paused such studies on mice, which had previously been examined during a House Oversight Committee hearing on animal cruelty. The research was authorized under former National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAD) Director Anthony Fauci.
The legislation, named the Transgender Research on Animals Now Stops and Money for Ideological Cruelty Eliminated Act (TRANS MICE Act), would bar federal funds from being used to “conduct, support, or fund (directly or indirectly)” research that alters an animal’s biological sex.
The measure focuses on research involving drugs, hormones, surgery, or other methods that modify an animal’s body to no longer align with its biological sex. Exemptions apply to animals that naturally change sex during their life cycle or have both male and female reproductive organs. Representatives Paul Gosar (R-AZ), Brandon Gill (R-TX), and Lauren Boebert (R-CO) cosponsored the bill.
“Americans are rightfully tired of seeing their tax dollars spent on wasteful experiments disguised as research while advancing a political agenda,” Mace said in a statement. “This legislation brings accountability, ends taxpayer-funded cruelty, and ensures science serves the public, not ideology.”
Anthony Belloti, president and founder of White Coat Waste Project, highlighted the group’s investigations and advocacy for exposing and opposing taxpayer-funded transgender animal experiments. He noted that grants from agencies like the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) have supported similar studies, underscoring the need for the TRANS MICE Act. “Trump’s historic cuts have already saved thousands of animals and millions of taxpayer dollars,” Belloti added.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Late Saturday night at Fort Washington Park in Manhattan, New York.
💬KEY QUOTE: “There’s absolutely zero reason that someone who is scum of the earth like this should be running loose on the streets of New York City.” — DHS Sec. Noem
🎯IMPACT: Both suspects have been apprehended and have been identified as Dominican nationals who illegally entered the U.S. and have extensive criminal records.
IN FULL
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem announced on Monday that the second suspect involved in the shooting of a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer has been detained. The officer was attacked late Saturday night at Fort Washington Park in Manhattan by two men on a moped in what appeared to be an attempted robbery.
The incident, which occurred at approximately 11:50 PM, resulted in an exchange of gunfire. The off-duty CBP officer was shot in the face but managed to return fire, hitting one of the suspects. New York Police Department (NYPD) radio traffic indicated the officer was shot in the mouth during the altercation.
During a press conference on Monday, Noem stated, “Fortunately for us today, our officer survived. He survived. He’s going through a very difficult time, and I would ask that you respect him and his family and his friend who was with him and what they have gone through.” She added, “We were able to bring the second individual in and have detained him as well, and he will face consequences and hopefully strong prosecution for his crimes and his involvement on Saturday night.”
Authorities identified the suspect as Miguel Francisco Mora Nunez, a Dominican national who re-entered the United States illegally in April 2023 and was released under the Biden government despite an active deportation order. CBP Commissioner Rodney Scott confirmed that the second suspect had also been apprehended and released at the U.S. border prior to the attack.
“There’s absolutely zero reason that someone who is scum of the earth like this should be running loose on the streets of New York City,” Noem told reporters. She criticized sanctuary city policies, particularly those under Mayor Eric Adams, elected as a Democrat, for enabling such criminals, adding: “He was arrested four different times in New York City, and because of the mayor’s policies and sanctuary city policies, was released back to do harm to people.”
White House Border Czar Tom Homan added, “Sanctuary cities are sanctuaries for criminals. President Trump is not going to tolerate it.”
Meanwhile, New York City’s Democratic Party mayoral candidate and self-described socialist Zohran Mamdani has remained silent on the shooting. Mamdani, who has previously called to defund the police and abolish prisons and opposes working with President Donald J. Trump to deport illegal immigrants, is currently in his birth country, Uganda, “in a personal capacity” to celebrate his marriage.
The “Twelver” Muslim stated he would return to New York City “by the end of the month.”

💬KEY QUOTE: “These documents detail a treasonous conspiracy by officials at the highest levels of the Obama White House to subvert the will of the American people and try to usurp the President from fulfilling his mandate.” – Tulsi Gabbard
🎯IMPACT: The video and revelations have sparked significant debate, with Trump supporters praising the disclosures and calling for arrests.
IN FULL
President Donald J. Trump posted an AI-generated video on Truth Social that shows former President Barack Obama being arrested, handcuffed, and taken to prison over the weekend. The clip follows recent accusations from Tulsi Gabbard, a former Democratic presidential candidate and the current Director of National Intelligence (DNI), who has publicly accused Obama of orchestrating a high-level effort to undermine Trump’s first presidency via the Russiagate hoax.
Gabbard said that newly released documents expose what she called “a treasonous conspiracy by officials at the highest levels of the Obama White House to subvert the will of the American people and try to usurp the President from fulfilling his mandate.” She also promised that this was just the beginning: “We will be releasing more detailed information about how exactly this took place, and the extent to which this information was sought to be hidden from the American people.”
Trump applauded Gabbard while reacting to a cable news segment in which White House spokesman Harrison Fields and others discussed the revelations, writing on his Truth Social platform, “The Panel was fantastic on prosecuting Obama and the ‘thugs’ who have just been unequivocally exposed on highest level Election Fraud. Congratulations to Tulsi Gabbard. Keep it coming!!!”

📍WHEN & WHERE: The election took place on Sunday in Japan, with results being finalized on Monday morning.
💬KEY QUOTE: “That’s right. It’s a difficult situation, and we have to take it very humbly and seriously.” – Shigeru Ishiba
🎯IMPACT: The loss puts pressure on the prime minister to address internal party challenges and navigate key policy issues, including U.S. tariff talks.
IN FULL
Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba’s center-right Liberal Democratic Party fell short of the 50 seats it required to maintain control of Japan’s 248-seat upper chamber, securing 47 seats in Sunday’s election. At a news conference, Ishiba affirmed his commitment to stay in office, emphasizing his focus on critical issues like tariff negotiations with the U.S. and rising consumer prices.
Ishiba told Japanese media that he “solemnly” accepted the “harsh result,” acknowledging, “It’s a difficult situation, and we have to take it very humbly and seriously.” Notably, the last three Japanese prime ministers who lost an upper house majority resigned within two months.
While the election result does not directly threaten Ishiba’s minority government, it intensifies pressure on him after his party’s earlier loss of the lower house in October. The center-left Constitutional Democratic Party, the main opposition, gained 37 seats, while the center-right Democratic Party for the People won 22. The right-leaning Sanseito Party made significant gains, securing 14 seats compared to just one in the prior election. Voter turnout hit 58 percent—a six-point increase from the previous upper house election—with a record number of early votes cast over the three-day weekend.
The erosion of the Liberal Democratic Party’s power is significant, with the party having dominated Japan since 1955.

A wildfire raging in Central Oregon has burned 95,748 acres, making it the largest wildfire in the U.S. this year. Crews have made progress toward containing the Cram Fire, which began over a week ago under extremely hot, dry, and windy conditions. The fire has destroyed homes and triggered evacuations in at least two counties.
The U.S. Interagency Fire Center defines a megafire as a wildfire that burns more than 100,000 acres. Oregon has experienced multiple such fires in recent years, with data showing six fires exceeding this size in 2024 alone. The Cram Fire could soon enter the megafire category.
As of Sunday morning, the Oregon State Fire Marshal reported the fire was 49 percent contained. Later that evening, Central Oregon Fire Information updated the containment figure to 73 percent. The fire has required 932 personnel, 88 engines, and eight helicopters to combat its spread.
Another wildfire, the Butte Creek Fire, was reported on Friday on Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs land, about 30 miles northwest of Madras. Officials have not yet determined the cause of the Cram Fire, and investigations are ongoing.
“After nearly a week of around-the-clock efforts, firefighters have reached 49 percent containment on the 95,748-acre fire,” said the Oregon State Fire Marshal on Sunday.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The decision is set for Monday in New Jersey, as Habba’s 120-day interim term ends Tuesday.
💬KEY QUOTE: “House Democrat Leader Hakeem Jeffries called on the 17 New Jersey U.S. district judges (15 of whom are Democrat-appointed by Presidents Obama and Biden) to effectively fire the New Jersey U.S. attorney tomorrow [Monday]… The reason? Because she brought an indictment against a Democrat House Member—who allegedly attacked federal officers. This is clear corruption by House Democrat Leader Hakeem Jeffries.” – Article III Project ethics complaint.
🎯IMPACT: The judges’ decision could lead to a new U.S. attorney or leave the position unfilled, with potential implications for federal prosecutions in New Jersey.
IN FULL
On Monday, U.S. District Court judges in New Jersey will determine whether to confirm Alina Habba as the state’s U.S. Attorney, choose another candidate, or leave the position unfilled. Habba, appointed on an interim basis in late March, is approaching the end of her 120-day term.
President Donald J. Trump nominated Habba for the role on July 1, but the Senate Judiciary Committee has yet to conduct its standard vetting process. This delay stems from opposition by New Jersey’s two Democrat senators, Corey Booker and Andy Kim, who have not supported her nomination, resulting in the decision being thrown to the Garden State’s federal judges.
Notably, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) is publicly lobbying the mostly Democrat-appointed jurists to push out Habba, citing her prosecution of Democrat Congresswoman LaMonica McIver (D-NJ)—currently facing charges for physically accosting federal officers involved in deportations. Consequently, Mike Davis and the Article III Project have filed a House ethics complaint against Jeffries for “abuse of his official position by improperly inserting himself into a criminal proceeding pending in federal court.”
“House Democrat Leader Hakeem Jeffries called on the 17 New Jersey U.S. district judges (15 of whom are Democrat-appointed by Presidents Obama and Biden) to effectively fire the New Jersey U.S. attorney tomorrow [Monday]… The reason? Because she brought an indictment against a Democrat House Member—who allegedly attacked federal officers. This is clear corruption by House Democrat Leader Hakeem Jeffries,” the complaint reads.
New Jersey’s judges might consider First Assistant U.S. Attorney Desiree Grace or former U.S. District Court Judge Noel Lawrence Hillman, both registered Republicans, as alternatives to Habba, or leave the U.S. Attorney position vacant.
The latter scenario echoes a recent situation in the Northern District of New York, where a judicial panel declined to reappoint John Sarcone III as U.S. Attorney after his 120-day interim term. “Because there’s no U.S. Attorney in place, I became ‘Acting’ U.S. Attorney for an indefinite term,” Sarcone said of his current status.

❓WHAT HAPPENED: The Cascadia Subduction Zone could be building toward a significant seismic event capable of producing a magnitude 9.0 earthquake and 100-foot-high tsunami along the Pacific Northwest coast of the United States and Canada.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The U.S. National Seismic Hazard Model currently estimates there is a 15 percent chance of a magnitude 8.0 or higher earthquake in the Cascadia Subduction Zone in the next 50 years. The last major event occurred on January 26, 1700.
🎯IMPACT: A major earthquake in the zone could result in nearly 6,000 fatalities, with a subsequent tsunami claiming another 8,000. Additionally, the seismic event could leave well over 100,000 people injured and half a million buildings destroyed—with a total economic cost of over $100 billion.
IN FULL
The Pacific Northwest could be living on borrowed time, with the Cascadia Subduction Zone having remained geologically quiet for well over three centuries. However, the zone—which is actually an extensive fault line where the Pacific Ocean‘s Juan de Fuca Plate is being pushed under the North American Plate—has been building up pressure for decades as the oceanic tectonic plate grinds under the continental plate, and if that pressure is released, it could cause a catastrophic earthquake and subsequent tsunami.
Seismologists believe the Cascadia Subduction Zone can, if enough pressure has built up, produce devastating earthquakes registering a magnitude of 9.0 or even higher. Geological evidence and historical accounts suggest these major seismic events only occur every 400 to 500 years—with the last major earthquake generated by the zone believed to have had a magnitude between 8.7 and 9.2 and occurring on January 26, 1700.
Despite being on the lower end of what is believed to be the historical intervals of severe earthquakes, the U.S. National Seismic Hazard Model currently estimates there is a 15 percent chance of a magnitude 8.0 or higher earthquake in the Cascadia Subduction Zone in the next 50 years. Such an event could produce a tsunami wave of over 100 feet in height, which would crash ashore from Northern California to Canada shortly after the earthquake.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) believes a major earthquake in the zone would result in nearly 6,000 fatalities, with a subsequent tsunami claiming another 8,000. Additionally, the seismic event could leave well over 100,000 people injured and half a million buildings destroyed—with a total economic cost of over $100 billion.
Meanwhile, the geography of the Pacific Northwest would likely be drastically altered as well, with large swaths of coastline sinking into the ocean and major estuaries flooding inland. However, despite the inevitable destruction, a major Cascadia Subduction Zone event happening sooner rather than later could be the lesser of two evils, as the longer the seismic pressure builds, the more destructive the earthquake and tsunami are likely to be.
