## Resource

A woman has accused Graham Platner of sexual assault and a long list of prominent Democrats have said they believe her and want him out of the Maine Senate race. Platner denies it and says he is reflecting. In political crisis speak reflecting is rarely the end of the story. We ask the honest question — do you believe her? And we start the betting pool on the date he steps down. Trump is in Turkey at NATO furious that alliance members sat out the Iran conflict and left America holding the military weight alone. We preview what those conversations look like. And Netanyahu says he and Trump are still friends despite the Iran agreement tensions — a statement worth unpacking.
