DHS named its North Carolina anti-immigrant effort "Operation Charlotte's Web." In 1940, White wrote of the "smell" that "rises" from those who "adjust to fascism" over freedom.

I have lots of opinions about political journalism, but mainly I think there should be less of it. Less time devoted to scoops, speculation, who is winning, who is positioning themselves to win, etc. There are so few journalistic resources, and fewer all the time. Devote them to something else.

It looks like those Swiss gifts paid off.
Trump cut tariffs on Swiss goods — like luxury watches — from 39% to 15%.
While Trump’s tariffs increase prices for Americans, billionaire CEOs and foreign companies sucking up to Trump get relief.
