In 1941, thinking about acquiescence to Hitler, FDR quoted Ben Franklin: “Those, who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.” It’s a message for the billionaires & others capitulating to Trump.

A classic case of irresponsible both-sidesism from the NYT. The story is that Trump and MAGA propagandists are lying about Portland to incite a conflict, not that there are different views of the matter.

The punditry of shutdown politics doesn't illustrate Republican villainy enough: cutting the State Department by 84%, the HUD by 43%, and Labor by 35%. Except, of course, in two areas: immigration enforcement and defense. There, it’s party time.

Comedy always leads, but when Jimmy Kimmel said, Donald Trump can't take a joke, I thought he offered a seminal insight into how the country got here. We're here because a petty but (inexplicably to me) charismatic man seized control of government to exercise his personal need for revenge.
