I blame the 2 party system, and the press, for fostering the superficial “us vs them” modality of our politics.

The Salt Lake Tribune, preparing to drop its paywall, launches a free, monthly print newspaper for Southern Utah “We believe that the first thing we have to do is build something that people want.”

Many of you, I know, receive a lot of national news, but care a lot about local. You also hate paywalls.

If that's you read this detailed story. "The Salt Lake Tribune, preparing to drop its paywall, launches a free, monthly print newspaper for Southern Utah."

Trump acknowledges recent MRI but hedges on why doctors ordered it After conceding that he recently had an MRI, the president did not disclose any details, despite his frequent boasts about transparency.

As Trump concedes that he recently had an MRI, but he fails to disclose any of the relevant details — including why doctors ordered the test in the first place — remember:

I think the key line of fracture in our information environment remains — for some of us this was a warning and for some of us it was a campaign promise

Do not forget that this happened and that Trump should be in prison for it right now.

Gregory Bovino was a flunky transferred to El Centro in a dead end job before Trump discovered he was one of the few in the Border Patrol willing to humiliate himself on TV.

When you see the steady drumbeat of arrests of Russian recruits for sabotage etc across the UK and Europe, and no equivalent announcements in the US, you can be sure we are missing cases, and mislabeling other arrests.
