The White population of Seattle once again demonstrates that they are not ignorant about the System of White Supremacy. This well-read population hosted Racist Suspect John A. Haymond to discuss his brand new book, Black Soldiers, White Laws: The Tragedy of the 24th Infantry in 1917 Houston. The talk was at Capitol Hill's famous Elliott Bay Book Company - which is in The C.O.W.S. archives a number of times. Gus has previously discussed this disgraceful episode of White Supremacy with Jamie Salazar, who penned Mutiny of Rage: The 1917 Camp Logan Riots and Buffalo Soldiers in Houston. This bit of Texas history is worthy of at least two books because it illustrates black males waging counter-violence and killing White people - even they are ultimately defeated. Mr. Haymond also details the widespread and vicious local System of White Supremacy that terrorized anyone classified as black: soldier or citizen. #TexasTough #Kindred #INVEST in The COWS - http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: http://cash.app/$TheCOWS

Ghislaine Maxwell originally signaled she was ready to comply with the congressional subpoena demanding her testimony before the House Oversight Committee tentatively scheduled for the week of August 11. Her legal team had framed her cooperation with the Department of Justice—during a two‑day interview with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, in which she reportedly answered questions about nearly 100 individuals without invoking privilege—as a sign of willingness to come forward fully. That earlier posture suggested Maxwell might walk the halls of Capitol Hill to finally provide insight into Epstein's network and operations.But following that DOJ sit‑down, she is now openly "undecided" about whether she will testify before Congress. Despite praising her own “truthful” and unrestricted cooperation in front of federal prosecutors, Maxwell has refused to commit to congressional testimony, leaving open the possibility of invoking her Fifth Amendment rights absent formal immunity. Critics are quick to suggest this move is a calculated pivot—falling back into legal limbo just as the political temperature rises. Rather than embracing transparency, she's pulling back into silence until she sees whether immunity or clemency might eventually materialize—casting further doubt on the sincerity of her earlier so-called "willingness."to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Maxwell's lawyer says she's undecided on appearing for congressional testimony - POLITICO

I'm Lydia Hall, and—though it might sound a little corny—I like to call myself a professional storyteller. (It's a bit more efficient than describing all of the many hats that I wear!) To be more specific: I'm an admissions consultant, editor, writer, and teacher. I'm most passionate about amplifying people's voices and helping them tell their own stories, in their own words. Back in 2020, I took a leap of faith and decided to venture into the world of admissions consulting; since then, I've worked with dozens of students to help them craft admissions essays that top schools notice. From brainstorming through final polishing before submission, I guide people through the writing process, ensuring that they highlight their strengths as they apply to their dream schools. I also provide support with interview prep, researching and selecting schools, putting together application packages, and other essential steps in the admissions journey. Over the years, I've worked in lobbying, on Capitol Hill, in the non-profit world, as a consultant, as a content creator, and as a teacher; in all of these roles, my focus has been on helping people and organizations effectively and authentically tell their stories to the world. I have a master's in sociology and education (concentration in education policy) from Columbia University, Teachers College; in May 2023, I alsocompleted TC's certification program in college advising. My undergrad degree is from Tufts University. I firmly believe that every student should have access to a counselor who gives them personalized support, and that's what I always aim to provide. There are few things more rewarding than hearing from students that they've gotten accepted to their dream schools. Get in touch, and let's talk college!

Send us a text00:00 - Surf's Up, Season 6 Episode 8The conversation addresses three issues that are distinct, yet each is pivotal to the future of MASLD and MASH therapies. The first, from the Global Think-Tank on Steatotic Liver Disease, considers how personal and digital approaches can be combined to form the most effective strategy for patient management. In the second, Global Liver Institute President and CEO Larry Holden joins Roger Green to discuss the new challenges in Washington stemming from the Trump Administration and RFK Jr. The final section is the conclusion of our recent drug development roundtable, examining drug classes we did not previously discuss, along with a thought on where combination therapy is likely to lead. 00:04:57 - Global Think-Tank on SLD Roundtable, Part 2Behavior consultant Dr. Kristina Curtis joins Jörn Schattenberg, Louise Campbell and Roger Green to discuss issues related to patient-centered care. This discussion focuses on the elements of successful behavior change and the importance of real-time, actionable feedback.

First, he acknowledges that we are in for "dark times" under the current administration, and describes some of the decisions and challenges we face. Second, he suggests what individuals and organizations can do to create the best possible situation -- and even some "wins" -- for people living with liver disease. These suggestions reflect his experiences during a 30-year career on Capitol Hill, prior to his joining GLI.00:46:15 - Drug Development Roundtable, Part 4Sven Francque joins Jörn, Louise and Roger to share an up-to-date look at drug development. This discussion focuses on PPARs, genetic medicines, and other emerging drug classes. Sven uses the example of the pan-PPAR lanifibranor to explore the idea that drug therapies can have an impact on the liver independent of their effect on fibrosis regression. The group proceeds to discuss other emerging drugs in development and their modes of action. One theme: over time, we may see prescribers consider using different therapies to address metabolic vs. liver-specific effects, often in combination.01:00:47 - Business ReportThanks to our listeners, Jörn's vacation, Welcome Regeneron

U.S. Makes 'Largest Trade Deal in History' With Japan; Habba Removed as U.S. Attorney for New Jersey | NTD Good MorningPresident Donald Trump is hailing a new trade deal with Japan as the largest in history, opening Japanese markets to more U.S. goods and lowering tariffs on Japanese cars. Japan is also planning to invest $550 billion in the United States and to launch a joint LNG project in Alaska. The announcement sparked a rally in Japanese stocks. The United States also reached trade deals with the Philippines and Indonesia on Tuesday, whereby Filipino goods will be charged a 19 percent tariff, but American goods zero percent.A panel of federal judges in New Jersey refused to extend the appointment of Alina Habba as U.S. Attorney for New Jersey, instead naming her deputy as a replacement. Department of Justice officials said Habba was pushed out for political reasons, as she is a former lawyer to President Donald Trump. The DOJ removed her deputy hours later. It remains unclear who will now take up the role.On Capitol Hill on Wednesday, two former ambassadors to Japan and Australia will discuss how they can better cooperate with the United States to counter the CCP's economic coercion. The three nations are working to try to reshape global trade to lessen reliance on China and maintain stability in the Indo-Pacific.

Meanwhile, the United States is pursuing trade negotiations with China next week in Sweden to discuss tariff deadlines.

Agriculture news has gone mainstream in a big way recently, and few farmers are happy about it. Immigration raids on farms, especially those in California and elsewhere along the U.S.'s southern border, have been growing as Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials become a more and more constant presence on the road and in the field. And even farmers whose workers are hired through the H2-A program, the federal guest worker system, are feeling the heat. Today, DTN Ag Policy Editor Chris Clayton brings us up to date on all the latest policy news around the agricultural workforce. We'll dig into the details of his recent story on the H-2A program, talking through the benefits and the drawbacks farmers experience, and why it seems to be becoming increasingly expensive and risky to use, even as the number of H-2A visa requests continues to grow. We'll also hear updates from Capitol Hill and the White House about how farmers' concerns are being heard and what policy solutions might be on the way as advocates continue to raise their voices.Then, we'll hear about how labor issues collide with shifting trade pressures, trends in the U.S. workforce, and even changes to federal staffing levels due to recent restructuring of key organizations, including the USDA.

The White House tries to deflect attention on the Jeffrey Epstein case as Republican Sen. Josh Hawley says releasing the grand jury testimony isn't enough and calls for a hearing on Capitol Hill. We ask Anthony Scaramucci, Shelby Talcott, and David Urban where things go from here. Plus, what a federal judge did today at the sentencing for a former police officer involved in the deadly Breonna Taylor raid after the DOJ requested no prison time.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Seth Grae, CEO of Lightbridge (LTBR), returns to Market on Close while speaking to senators in Washington D.C. He says there's plenty of support for nuclear power on Capitol Hill as he emphasizes the importance of expanding usage, particularly through icebreaker ships as a way to combat China and Russia dominance in the Arctic Ocean. On President Trump's executive order to increase nuclear power output, Seth believes Lightbridge technology will boost efficiency on new and existing reactors.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Laura Levine - President & CEO - JumpStart Coalition for Personal Financial Literacy. This is episode 775 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast. Laura Levine has devoted her career to helping people of all ages better understand financial services through marketing and outreach, communications, and most recently, through education. In 2004, she became executive director of the Jump$tart Coalition for Personal Financial Literacy, a Washington DC-based nonprofit organization committed to “financial smarts for students,” and was named President and CEO in 2011.   Since taking over at Jump$tart, Laura has continued to raise awareness about the importance of financial literacy and the need for effective financial education. Under her leadership, Jump$tart launched the Jump$tart National Educator Conference, Jump$tart Financial Foundations for Educators and J$FFE Online, Project Groundswell/Check Your School and the Jump$tart Teen Teach-In, as well as the coalition's social media efforts. Laura guided the expansion of Financial Literacy for Youth Month to the broader Financial Literacy Month (sometimes called National Financial Capability Month) observed today. While growing the coalition at both the state and national levels, she led the enhancement of legacy programs including the Jump$tart Clearinghouse and National Standards for Personal Financial Education.   In 2008, Laura was appointed to the President's Advisory Council on Financial Literacy by President George W. Bush and chaired the Council's Youth Committee. She is currently a member of the Experian Consumer Council, the Forbes Nonprofit Council, CNBC Financial Wellness Council, the Community Advisory Forum for Fifth Third Bank, and has held many voluntary appointments, including having served on the Parent Cabinet for DCPS Chancellor Kaya Henderson. Laura speaks and writes on financial literacy topics, especially guidance for parents and family members, and the important role that classroom-based financial education can have in advancing financial equity and inclusion. Laura began her career in credit unions and was a credentialed, Capitol Hill correspondent before moving into the securities industry. She served as Director of Editorial Services for the National Association of Securities Dealers (now FINRA) and, later, as Director of Education and Information for the NASD Office of Individual Investor Services. From 1999-2004, Laura was Director of the NASDAQ Educational Foundation. A native of Los Angeles, Laura holds a degree in Broadcast Journalism from the University of Southern California. She does not consider herself a financial expert, but rather, a staunch advocate for financial education and information and – she hopes – she has raised a financially literate son. Our focus today is the need for financial education, the impact of financial education, and mobilizing passionate advocates nationwide. Awesome conversation! So much to learn! So much to do!

What if your church stopped trying to be a lake and became a river instead?In this episode, Peyton Jones and Pete Mitchell sit down with Larry Walkemeyer, longtime pastor of Light & Life Christian Fellowship and the author of The River Church. Larry shares the radical vision God gave him and his wife Deb: instead of growing bigger, their church would grow deeper and wider by sending. That vision turned 39 parking spots into 33 church plants.Larry unpacks the biblical inspiration behind the river metaphor (Ezekiel 47), the ego-surrendering challenges of multiplication, and how prayer, generosity, and Spirit-led leadership shaped a culture of movement. Along the way, he shares powerful stories—from sending a former gang member to plant a thriving church, to watching a seemingly “failed” plant bear unexpected fruit on Capitol Hill.If you're a church planter or pastor dreaming of a multiplying movement, this conversation will stir your spirit and expand your imagination.Resources and Links Mentioned in this Episode:The River ChurchReliant Mission: reliant.org/cppNewBreed TrainingThanks for listening to the church planter podcast.

It's been a banner stretch for President Trump: a major strike on Iran's nuclear sites, a sprawling tax-and-spending bill pushed through Congress, and a growing foreign policy resume. But beneath the surface of all the flag-waving and victory laps, Democrats like Senator Mark Warner are warning that the real story is unfolding in the shadows—inside an increasingly politicized US intelligence community.In this episode of the GZERO World podcast, Ian sits down with the senior Senator from Virginia at his Capitol Hill office for a wide-ranging conversation about what's breaking inside America's national security institutions—and what that means for foreign policy decisions from Tehran to Gaza. Warner doesn't hold back: “We're in uncharted, dangerous territory. [Intelligence] Analysts are being told to change their conclusions—or lose their jobs.”The two also dive into the fallout from the US-Israeli strikes on Iran, the fragile push for a Gaza ceasefire, and why Warner sees a largely ignored civil war in Sudan as one of the world's worst ongoing humanitarian crises—and a rare opportunity for the US to lead.Host: Ian BremmerGuest: Senator Mark Warner (D-VA) Subscribe to the GZERO World with Ian Bremmer Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred podcast platform, to receive new episodes as soon as they're published.

Send us a textThis one's a banger, folks. Lt Col Brandon Temple—Mustang, TACP legend, and card-carrying member of the “deep state”—joins the team room and brings the heat. From botching his shot at pro baseball to stumbling into the Air Force via a giant binder of mystery jobs, Temple's journey is pure chaos and grit. We dive into his Mustang days (yes, he enlisted first), Navy betrayal (yep, he crossed over), and what it was like sleeping bag spooning with a CCT in Afghanistan.Oh, and he's not just a warfighter—he's a legislative assassin now, influencing Capitol Hill and telling Congress what's up with AFSPECWAR. Add in some dark humor, Civil War accents, a napalm joke, and a love letter to Hunter Seven Foundation… and you've got an episode that's half roast, half reverent, and 100% Ones Ready.

Earlier this week, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy testified on Capitol Hill, where he thanked Congress for recently approving $12.5 billion dollars to modernize the nation's aging air traffic control system. But some U.S. air traffic controllers say there's a much deeper problem: a nationwide staffing shortage that leaves controllers overworked and employee morale low. NPR's Joel Rose and Joe Hernandez spoke with five current and former air traffic controllers to find out what improvements they want to see.
