8/19 AM Update: Penn State Cocaine Ring Busted, Disney Sues Trump’s FCC, Clancy Trial Day 15

AM Update for 8/19/26: Fourteen people face charges in an alleged cocaine trafficking operation tied to two Penn State fraternities, with prosecutors accusing students of bringing kilos of cocaine into State College for distribution. Disney and ABC sue the Trump administration, accusing the FCC of violating their First Amendment rights by targeting eight Disney-owned stations for an unusually early license review. The defense in Lindsay Clancy’s murder trial presents testimony about her mental state before and after the killings, including claims that she experienced dissociation and later reported hearing a male voice directing her to kill her children and herself. A mysterious company claims it fabricated political polls in Los Angeles and Wisconsin, calling the operation was a “social experiment” as questions remain about who was behind it and whether prediction markets were the real target.
