Six months into Trump’s second term in office, a CNN poll finds that a majority of Americans disapprove of the administration’s deportation program. Philip Bump with the Washington Post examines the history of Trump’s support among his base. The recently passed GOP tax-and-spending bill makes steep cuts to Medicaid and SNAP spending. Sarah Wire of USA Today reports on how states are concerned about making up the shortfall. The same bill created a new type of investment account for kids. The Wall Street Journal’s Ashlea Ebeling unpacks how it works and whether it’s a good investment option. Plus, Palestinians seeking food aid were killed by Israeli military fire on Sunday, WNBA players are leveraging All-Star weekend to push for fair pay, and the group that’s avoided developing allergies. Today’s episode was hosted by Shumita Basu.
