Quote of the Day

Most significantly, these first six months have revealed a central weakness of our system: its dependence on leadership that honors the norms and traditions of our political institutions and understands the necessity of at least appearing to adhere to common values of decency and honesty. President Trump and the Republicans in Congress have shown no respect for any of that. It's a harsh lesson for our country and it may get harsher still. But at least we know now who they really are and what they really believe in: nothing." ~ Heather Digby Parton, Salon
