Q: A July survey by your pollster found that 72% of voters across parties like the ACA tax credits. Are you worried you might get blamed if you don't help?

We currently have a president who is so childishly crude and grotesque that newspapers consider it indecent to accurately describe the video he recently posted, and TV shows think it is indecent to show it.

But many Americans are OK that the Oval Office is home to the nation's crassest toddler.

Each day we get sucked deeper and deeper into another quagmire by the “America First” administration. But at least we got Kushner and Witkoff to work everything out.

And he’s clearly rattled by yesterday’s turnout.

Keep speaking out. The power belongs to the people.

Ben Meiselas on Thursday: Trump is meeting with Zelenskyy tomorrow. It's not great timing because it's right after the Putin talk, he's still going to be feasting off the Putin talking points. If I was betting, knowing Trump's psychology and pathology, he's going to try to intimidate Zelensky.

A tweet from Lu for Alaska reads: “NW Alaska evacuating in case you watch mainstream news and don’t know what’s happening up here.” The attached image shows the inside of a large military cargo plane packed with people sitting on the floor, many wearing coats and holding children, as they appear to be in the process of evacuation.

Epstein Survivor Lisa Phillips: Everyone makes it about Trump and Epstein, but it’s about this whole ring of men. That’s what makes me upset, because we know they were there. We saw them. We know there were royalty, princes, very powerful people in academia and tech, and we saw them at parties.

She alleged in the past that it was former Israeli PM Ehud Barak but we can’t know that for sure because Trump, Bondi, Patel and Johnson are hiding this person’s identity from the public by blocking release of the Epstein files.

Whoever it is.

For some reason.
