Quote of the day: From Sinclair Lewis' 1935 novel "It Can't Happen Here": My namesake taking an extremely jaundiced view of the optimistic conviction that institutional guardrails and the American spirit will protect the country from sliding into authoritarianism and tyranny.

There were six Nazi extermination camps -- Chelmno, Treblinka, Sobibor, Belzec, Majdanek, and Auschwitz-Birkenau. Yet it's only the last that dominates public attention and memory. Ever wonder why that is? #Auschwitz

Kudos to Thom Tillis, winner of this year’s Rob Portman Congressional Cowardice Award. He lured a vulnerable witness into giving a public, sworn statement against Pete Hegseth — and then blindsided her by casting the pivotal vote to confirm him. Gift link www.wsj.com/politics/pol...
