What incredible reporting. This is well worth your time. Thank you Mother Jones.

Excellent piece. It's time to use our collective economic clout.

I'll take anything by Knopfler.

All true. But he is still sending troops to an American city. Or do you think it's a bluff?

Excellent column, as usual. As a journalist who also had the dream of working at the Post, watching what has become of that great paper has been heart-wrenching. Thank you for putting into words what the Post meant to us.

It would fail, but the Republicans would still have to vote on it.

As a Mariners fan, I'm glad we can get your vacation off to a positive start.

The P. S. is brilliant!

Thank you Senator.

Thanks for a wonderful story.

David Corn, Mother Jones

Well deserved. Congratulations.

Young people won’t, or can’t, read a book. Now democracy is dying. Coincidence? | Will Bunch A viral conversation about the near-death of reading by U.S. college students in the iPhone era reveals a threat to democracy.

Here's a real "national emergency": College kids won't, and often can't, read a book from cover to cover. The rise of what one prof calls "functional illiteracy" in the iPhone Age is happening right when our imploding democracy needs critical thinkers

Excellent column, as always. It's also one of the most frightening you've written.

Coward.

Agreed. Let's see the Democratic house members walk over to the Senate. Let them see what courage is.

Congratulations.

Thank you for standing up for democracy today.
