Wednesday, August 6, 2025.
Good Morning! On this day in 1926, swimmer Gertrude Ederle, the “Queen of the Waves,” became the first woman to swim across the English Channel. The 20-year-old American was covered entirely in grease for her 14.5-hour swim, which set a new record for both men and women.
In today’s Wisdom Wednesday, we’re exploring how friendships across generations, like those between Gen Z and Boomers, can improve your well-being. Got a friend from a different age group?

TAKEOFF.
House Subpoenas Clintons, DOJ in Epstein Probe.
The House Oversight Committee, led by Chair James Comer (R-Ky.), has subpoenaed Bill and Hillary Clinton, former FBI directors, and six former U.S. attorneys general as part of its investigation into the federal handling of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
The bipartisan-backed effort also demands full, unredacted Epstein records from the Justice Department by Aug. 19.
Depositions are scheduled to begin Aug. 18 and run through mid-October. Hillary Clinton has been asked to appear on Oct. 9, while Bill Clinton is set for Oct. 14.
Comer says the inquiry could aid in reforms to federal sex trafficking laws and the use of plea deals in such cases. Maxwell’s deposition is delayed pending a Supreme Court appeal.
US Races to Put Nuclear Reactor on Moon.
NASA is fast-tracking plans to place a nuclear reactor on the Moon by 2030, aiming to power future lunar bases and outpace rival efforts by China and Russia.
Acting NASA Administrator Sean Duffy issued a directive calling for the deployment of fission surface power systems, citing national security and the risk that other nations could establish territorial “keep-out zones.”
The proposed reactor would generate at least 100 kilowatts—enough to sustain operations during the Moon’s two-week-long nights, when solar power fails.
How US Jobs Have Changed Since 2002.
A new data visualization shows how the jobs held by Americans have shifted over the past two decades.
Office and administrative roles dropped from 18% of the workforce in 2002 to just 12% in 2024, as automation replaced clerical tasks.
Meanwhile, food service rose from 8% to 9%, transport and logistics climbed from 7% to 9%, and healthcare support jumped from 2% to 5%—all driven by rising demand for hands-on, in-person work.
Tech, finance, and management each gained about one worker per 100, pointing to a gradual shift toward higher-skill, knowledge-based roles.
POLITICS.
President Trump on Tuesday threatened to slap tariffs as high as 250% on imported pharmaceuticals, aiming to push drug manufacturing back to the U.S.
The FBI’s latest crime report shows violent and property crimes declined across the board in 2024, with murders down nearly 15% and motor vehicle thefts dropping 18.6%. Overall, property crime hit its lowest level since 1961.
The Justice Department on Tuesday named 35 jurisdictions as sanctuary regions and pledged to ramp up lawsuits against them for limiting cooperation with federal immigration enforcement. The list includes 12 states and major cities like New York, Seattle, and San Francisco.

And Now, a word from our sponsor, Interactive Romans Road – King James Version.
Go to https:// payhip.com/ Christian NonFiction eBookStore then scroll down and click on Interactive Romans Road – King James Version.
Long Ago, when the Roman Empire was at the height of its glory, a common saying was “All Roads Lead to Rome.” I want to tell you about a very special road — a road that existed then and still exists now. This road, now almost 2,000 years old, has never led to Rome. Yet, strangely enough, it is called the Romans Road.This takes the reader to selected passages in the Book of Romans in the Bible to explain the plan of Salvation. This is the ideal way to share the gospel using your Kindle. The reader can also read the entire book of Romans un-interrupted.
