Even though they’re not universal payments for all eligible adults, Bonin sees the monthly Child Tax Credit payments as a victory because the money is going directly into millions of Americans’ pockets each month. President Joe Biden supports making the monthly payments to parents permanent, but without action from Congress, payments end in December. “This Halloween let’s spread the word that the scariest thing is Congress ghosting America by taking away the checks being sent directly to our families, the expanded Child Care Tax Credits,” Bonin wrote in a Sunday update on the Change....

Bream confronted Roy, pressing him on Democrat criticism—saying that Republicans may actually be the problem by reiterating that the southern border is open, attracting more people to come. “Biden campaigned on it. There were people showing up to our border wearing Biden T-shirts,” the GOP lawmaker said. “There’s nothing hidden around the world about what this administration is doing and what Democrats on Capitol Hill are doing to say that our borders are wide open....

The tense exchange happened on the latest episode of the Fox panel discussion show Outnumbered. Democrat Tarlov defended the state of Biden’s mental health after the conservative Montgomery suggested the former vice president’s campaign speeches had been shortened to 15 minutes because he can no longer handle speaking for a longer amount of time. “It is so reckless and irresponsible for people to be speculating that this man, who very well might be the next president of the United States, has dementia when there is no doctor backing [the claim],” said Tarlov....

Didier Deschamps’ side take on Belgium in Tuesday’s St Petersburg semi-final – a game that will be graced by a raft of prime attacking and creative talents on both sides.

France are two wins away from emulating their celebrated class of 1998, who prevailed 3-0 in the World Cup final against Brazil on home soil thanks largely to a first-half brace from Zidane. The ex-Juventus and Real Madrid great was only just getting started. At Euro 2000, he strode regally across a quarter-final against Spain – dispatching a precision free-kick to kick-off a 2-1 win. It was the era of golden goal extra time and Zidane displayed nerves of steel to down Portugal from the penalty spot in the semi-final....
