JULY 31, 2020
** Trump overheard reiterating support for Confederate-named bases in call to senator. (Does Trump not want the names changed? That's news to me.)
** Confederate monuments: What the men honored by the statues did and believed. (Because they owned slaves, they were really, really, really bad people.)
** Groups call for legislator's resignation, policies to dismantle white supremacy. (Alabama black groups calling for this.)
** Senator puts Trump on speakerphone in busy restaurant. (Senator James Inhofe of Oklahoma couldn't hear Trump. Others heard the conversation.
** Cosby: Where should the statues go?
** Trump sees showdown over statues as path to political gain. (Bloomberg)
