I loved being down in that print shop to see Mr. Riegert crank that remarkable machine rattling to life (the miracle of which seemed even greater after we all spent several weeks setting our own little print projects by hand, letter by letter). So evocative as a peg for this very contemporary issue.

Budd Dwyer? Wow. Somebody was clearly in Harrisburg, PA in the mid-80s...

Bill, please see Dokoupil interview with PA's two Senators with McCormick tut-tutting the "dehumanizing" language of protesters toward ICE as leading to violence. New definition of chutzbah?

Seriously, how can we rely on these numbers, Bill, and are there independent data sets WSJ itself might use to fact-check them?

Having 20 year-old kids helps ensure up to date vocabulary here...but outrage is multi-generational.

Bill, isn't the big issue now whether his own new nickname should be "Donnie Two-Dolls" or "Two-Doll Donnie"? I lean toward the former. You?

Why isn't part of every single news story that none of this is even necessary since Trump now runs DOJ and could have released the files at any time without Congress...which he does on everything else anyway?

Roberts is hardly alone among the conservatives. Barrett and Gorsuch have also drilled down almost in league with Sotomayor and Kagan. SG's reach for implied or inherent authority, or a line between "regulatory" and "revenue" tariffs is absurd (without even getting to how this is an "emergency")

Genius, I tell you, genius!

But also and critically, he has an entire political party serving as his caddies, all too eager to drop another ball safely outside the water trap he actually lands in.

And yet despite how perfectly the five-year plan is going on the collective farms...the actual market is up a zillion points today, Bill. Counting on lower interest rates since the real economy is collapsing?
