If we get through this alive, there are a number of Western European and American leaders who will be viewed for a century as even more amoral, clueless and/or sleazy than Chamberlain.

Byrd Martin Tom Nichols There's a certain ahistoricity to thinking that strife with public-sector unions began in 1981, as though Calvin Coolidge had never walked the Earth.

I don't *love* Ronald Reagan. I just don't reflexively hate him the way so many people here do and my balance sheet on him is heavily influenced by the Cold War (and how it ended). Breaking PATCO was a necessary move. Love him or hate him, it had to be done.

I've spent the last 3 years saying Bridge Colby
should be shunned for his support of the 1/6 illegal vote rejection plot, whatever his views or intellect, and if Quincy Institute wants to associate with figures who also supported 1/6, same thing. Disqualified from public life.

.Jeffrey Goldberg: Can we expect a verdict next week?

Josh Gerstein: 'I think it's very likely. I mean, the jury will probably get two or three days next week to deliberate on the case and I think that will probably be enough for them to come to a decision.'

Would love to see a good biopic about Reagan, but that trailer looks a little too right-wing hagiographic even for me.

Of course the stereotype was that these protests were concentrated at expensive elite colleges but I didn't realize the rather extreme extent to which that's actually true.

Thank you, CNN. Maybe others will follow. Like NON-CABLE NEWS networks and local stations where swing voters reside.
