    The quest for 'balance' and 'fairness' is a journalistic trap. Treating both sides of an argument as equal when one side is demonstrably false is not fair or balanced. It's just wrong. Prizing balance above truth is a mistake. There aren't two sides to a lie.

  2. The limited vocabulary, the middle-school name-calling, the projection, the incoherence —none of it is as repugnant as the self-pity.

  3. You can't have it both ways — holding up the Washington Post front page to prove that you're vindicated and then targeting the paper every day as fake news and the enemy. Which is it, Mr. President?

  4. Someone asked me the other day if I thought Trump suffered from imposter syndrome. I said I don't think he does. He's not a competent person who worries that he's not; he is a fraud, knows he is a fraud, and his whole life is pretending otherwise. That's the opposite.

  5. Of course what he really meant is that he doesn't like people who are guided by their faith to do what is right. That is what is truly alien to him.

  6. The idea of Don Jr. calling Mitt Romney a "coward" for his vote shows how topsy-turvy our culture has become. Whatever you may think of his vote, it was the opposite of cowardice. Unless of course you think meekly following a cruel authoritarian president is bravery.

  7. Attention : The vote to convict was bi-partisan. The vote to acquit was purely partisan.

  8. "Were I to ignore the evidence...and disregard what I believe my oath and the Constitution demands of me for the sake of a partisan end, it would, I fear, expose my character to history’s rebuke and the censure of my own conscience." Words that live up the Framers' ideals.

  9. One person of moral courage can make a majority. A bipartisan one. Mitt Romney was that man today. History will reward his moral choice—even if his Republican colleagues and his president do not.

    I will be watching one person only today, , who has a rare chance to (re)write his own entry in the history books. Will we remember him 50 years from now depends largely on his vote today.

    Wray says domestic terrorism is a major problem: "I would add that I have elevated racially motivated violent extremism as a national priority for 2020, which puts it on the same level as ISIS."

    No president in the history of the State of the Union uses the first person singular as much as Trump.

    Facts you will not hear tonight: JOB CREATION: TRUMP FIRST THREE YEARS = 191K a Month OBAMA LAST THREE YEARS = 227K a Month Obama's last three years were 20% higher in job creation than Trump's first three years.

    Reminder of this from SSCI's election security report on 2016 - the Russians had a disinfo campaign ready to go alleging a rigged election. This is why perceived lack of integrity is a huge vulnerability - and anyone feeding into that narrative is undermining democracy.

    The US is 61% white. In Iowa, it’s 86%. It’s 91% in New Hampshire. 1 in 5 Americans is Hispanic/Latino. In Iowa, it’s 1 in 16. It’s 1 in 27 in NH. 1 in 7 Americans is Black. In Iowa, it’s 1 in 26. And 1 in 62 in NH. The primary/caucus system should be reformed for 2024.

    Did two books with Alice, including my first. Incredibly knowledgeable, incisive, curious, fun, kind, and a resolute believer in chronological narrative. She made everyone—writers and readers—smarter. There was no one like her.

    1. What would you do if your child did this? 2. Pathetically/narcissistically in need of attention. 3. The mad king. 4. This is who a majority of Republicans will vote to acquit.

    The two guys happiest with the Iowa results are Donald Trump and his pal Vladimir Putin. Please don't subscribe to conspiracy theories launched by either one of them. Simple human incompetence is almost always the right explanation.

    I love Iowa, but the caucuses are undemocratic, not representative of the Democratic party, and bizarrely complex. The whole primary system needs to be revised, including starting in New Hampshire.
