America the Beautiful: A Fire Sale for Foreign Corporations
http://truth-out.org/news/item/10195-america-the-beautiful-a-fire-sale-for-foreign-corporations
Dr. Brian Moench, Truthout: "This may be one of the most important stories ever ignored by the so-called 'lame-stream, liberal' media. It's unlikely you're losing sleep over US trade negotiations, but the unfolding business agreement among the US and eight Pacific nations - the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) - should cause every US citizen, from the Sierra Club to the Tea Party to get their pitch forks and torches out of the closet and prepare to 'storm the Bastille.'"
Can a Financial Transactions Tax Work in America? An FTT FAQ
http://truth-out.org/news/item/10232-can-a-financial-transactions-tax-work-in-america-an-ftt-faq
Salvatore Babones, Truthout: "As the world struggles with economic challenges, governments everywhere are cutting back on services and seeking new forms of revenue. One of the most talked about new ideas for raising revenue is the financial transactions tax (FTT). Debate over a European FTT dominated June's European Union summit, while in the United States, civil society groups kicked off a major new FTT campaign."
Apologies to Mexico: The Drug Trade and Gross National Pain
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/10251-apologies-to-mexico-the-drug-trade-and-gross-national-pain
Rebecca Solnit, TomDispatch: "I apologize. There are so many things I could apologize for, from the way the U.S. biotech corporation Monsanto has contaminated your corn to the way Arizona and Alabama are persecuting your citizens, but right now I'd like to apologize for the drug war, the 10,000 waking nightmares that make the news and the rest that don't."
Bank Scandal Turns Spotlight to Regulators
http://truth-out.org/news/item/10259-bank-scandal-turns-spotlight-to-regulators
Ben Protess and Mark Scott, The New York Times: "As big banks face the fallout from a global investigation into interest rate manipulation, American and British lawmakers are scrutinizing regulators who failed to take action that might have prevented years of illegal activity. Politicians in both London and Washington are questioning whether regulators allowed banks to report false rates in the run-up to the 2008 financial crisis and afterward."
New Study: Fluids From Marcellus Shale Likely Seeping Into Pennsylvania Drinking Water
http://truth-out.org/news/item/10244-new-study-fluids-from-marcellus-shale-likely-seeping-into-pa-drinking-water
Abrahm Lustgarten, ProPublica: "New research has concluded that salty, mineral-rich fluids deep beneath Pennsylvania's natural gas fields are likely seeping upward thousands of feet into drinking water supplies. Though the fluids were natural and not the byproduct of drilling or hydraulic fracturing, the finding further stokes the red-hot controversy over fracking in the Marcellus Shale, suggesting that drilling waste and chemicals could migrate in ways previously thought to be impossible."
Why Are Women and Transgender Comic Creators Getting Less of the Pie?
http://truth-out.org/news/item/10179-who-gets-the-pie
Nicole Boyett and Anne Elizabeth Moore, Truthout: "Two big charges follow all number-crunching on gender in media: that women don't make work as often as men, and that women don't submit work to publishers at the same rates as men. We kill both arguments dead in this strip ... which shows that men make up only 54 percent of comics creators, and submit work at approximately the same rates as women."
Will World Population Day Open the Gates to Coercive Contraception?
http://truth-out.org/news/item/10235-will-world-population-day-open-the-gates-to-coercive-contraception
Betsy Hartmann, Truthout: "On July 11, World Population Day, the British government and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation are hosting an international Family Planning Summit in London to launch an ambitious $4 billion contraceptive program initiated by Melinda Gates. Its aim is to get 120 million poor women, mainly in Africa and South Asia, access to modern contraception as well as to stimulate research into new birth control methods."
Paul Krugman | For Europe's Leaders, the Solution Remains Elusive
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/10245-for-europes-leaders-the-solution-remains-elusive
Paul Krugman, Krugman & Co.: "The European Union summit in June was clearly an upside surprise: in effect, the Latin bloc forced German Chancellor Angela Merkel to bend, at least slightly.... The main substantive thing was the agreement in principle to set up something more or less like a European version of the Troubled Asset Relief Program in the United States, in which funds for bank recapitalization will be supplied by a consortium rather than lent to governments already overburdened with debt."
On the News With Thom Hartmann: Rick Perry Announces He Will Refuse to Expand Medicaid to Cover 1.2 Million More Low-Income Texans

In today's On the News segment: The Libor rate-fixing scandal could grow, Rick Perry announces he will refuse to cover 1.2 million more low-income Texans, Democrats are fighting back against the avalanche of secret corporate cash being used against them this election cycle, and more.
Inequality Rises as Union Numbers Decline
http://truth-out.org/news/item/10246-inequality-rises-as-union-numbers-decline
Lauren Feeney, Moyers & Co.: "By now, we've all heard about the growing disparity between rich and poor - and most of us have felt the effects. This chart, posted by Colin Gordon of the Economic Policy Institute, shows how income inequality corresponds to the rise and fall of union membership."
Eugene Robinson | The GOP's Crime Against Voters
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/10256-the-gops-crime-against-voters
Eugene Robinson, The Washington Post Writers Group: "Spare us any more hooey about 'preventing fraud' and 'protecting the integrity of the ballot box.' The Republican-led crusade for voter ID laws is revealed as a cynical ploy to disenfranchise as many likely Democratic voters as possible, with poor people and minorities the main targets."
Suffocating Austerity: The West's Folly in Greece Repeats Old Patterns
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/10133-suffocating-austerity-the-wests-folly-in-greece-repeats-old-patterns
Evaggelos Vallianatos, Truthout: "Not only did the Greek politicians impose an austerity program which reduced the living standards of the Greek people significantly, increasing suicides by 40 percent and unemployment by more than 20 percent, but they agreed to such barbarous terms for the foreseeable future, all but guaranteeing the impoverishment, colonization and eventual slavery of Greece."

Mark Karlin, BuzzFlash at Truthout: "This past weekend in the Hamptons, the gluttonous orgy of Romney campaign fundraising among America's Marie Antoinette crowd was so brazenly contemptuous of non-millionaires that the only thing missing was a raffle prize for an offshore bank account in the Cayman Islands."
