Media companies making promises about their future news reporting in order to gain better regulatory treatment from the federal government, very bad situation.
The future owners of Paramount are promising to hire a CBS ombudsman and pledging not to implement any DEI policies. FCC chair Brendan Carr did not respond to my text about whether he is closer to approving the merger now. Here's my recap from @TheLeadCNN
This might be a zag, but I actually think it would be a positive if Zohran Mamdani and Josh Shapiro - two of the Democratic Party's most talented young communicators - start a public debate about the Israeli/Palestinian conflict and how Dems should respond x.com/jacobkornbluh/…
Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro on Mamdani: "He left open far too much space for extremists to either use his words or for him to not condemn the words of extremists that said some blatantly antisemitic things." jewishinsider.com/2025/07/josh-s…
The Epstein stuff is having a real impact on Trump's support. His net approval hasn't been as low as it is now since the aftermath of Liberation Day.

The AP launched a cool polling tracker today with their numbers on Trump favorability, right/wrong direction, etc. going back several years: apnews.com/projects/polli… You can filter by crosstabs too!
From Megyn Kelly to Bari Weiss, Rahm really has his pulse on the Democratic base.

I hope all the podcasters who helped Trump get elected have him back on to ask about Epstein this time!
Jordan Klepper: "According to Trump, all the top Democrats got together and said 'Let's create some fake files that destroy Trump's political career, they don't ever use them, they let Trump get elected, don't use them, let Trump get elected again, still don't use them..."
A reporter asked John Harbaugh about visiting the White House, given the president's past "denigrating" comments about Baltimore. Harbaugh didn't appreciate the framing of the question. nbcsports.com/nfl/profootbal…
From 1996 to 2015, Donald Trump was the co-owner, later sole owner, of the Miss Universe Organization. It included the Miss Teen USA pageant. The contestants were aged 14 to 19. "I'll go backstage before a show, and everyone's getting dressed and ready. You know, I'm…
State Sen. Doug Mastriano, who is reportedly considering another run for governor, weighs in on the Pennsylvania Republican Party’s plan to endorse a candidate in the race at their next meeting in September.
A few times now, Biden's complained about how quickly he must finish his memoir compared to other past Presidents. I wonder if his book company was worried he wouldn't be able to finish or promote it, so they set a hard deadline for him cc @AlexThomp x.com/JeffreyT1/stat…

Democrats will love if this happens. In a 50-50 state, Mastriano got 42% of the vote in 2022. If he’s the nominee House Republicans in PA will have an even harder hill to climb
Jeffrey Epstein has effectively shut down the House of Representatives until further notice:
New - House Republicans have canceled tomorrow’s markup of the FY2026 Commerce-Justice-Science bill in the House Appropriations Cmte
