America was given a choice between a lawless, amoral monster and a qualified, intelligent, joyful woman of color—and it chose the monster. We need to reckon with the reality of what that says about so many of us here.

Pritzker: The question I ask is: if you’re willing to hand the keys to Europe over to Putin, what’s next? How does the US retain its leadership in the world when he’s essentially retreating to our own borders? He’s even made enemies of the Canadians—I can’t imagine anything more telling than that.

MEUSER: You've got Trudeau saying how the president is making a dumb move. That's bad diplomacy.
