THE HILL: The Heritage Foundation's Kevin Roberts explicitly referred to Trump and his remaking of the SCOTUS and his campaign as a second American Revolution — and promised bloodshed if Democrats resist. In a normal world, a candidate would blast this and disavow it. Remember McCain chastising an old lady for disparaging Obama unfairly? Yeah, Trump's good with it.

HUFF POST: So far, President Biden says he is hanging in. But there is a LOT of chatter, more than enough to satisfy the sharks in the media, and that means there is still a chance he changes his mind soon or after the convention. I think a lot of what this comes down to is NOT his ego, but the realities of switching candidates, of state-by-state ballot access, of access to his $240M in campaign funds. CNN (consider the source) claims Biden is clear-eyed and within days might change his mind and bail for the good of the party.

THR: Biden's first big interview post-debate is Friday. If it doesn't go well, I would assume he will reconsider and drop out. The media class and a lot of Dems have created a nearly untenable environment for him, one in which he can not afford any, even minor, missteps.

STR8UPGAYPORN: Porn star Austin Wolf, who stands accused of serious child-porn charges, says through his lawyer that the facility where he will spend all of July awaiting a hearing is infamous for inhumane conditions. He is there because he is considered a serious flight risk, perhaps because he is a multi-millionaire facing life-ending charges.
