Gorbachev was one of the great men of the 20th century, helping to end Soviet communism and with it the Cold War. With him as leader, Russia would never have invaded Ukraine. He'd have helped it grow.

Question: if there were ten Republicans in a room, how many would support Cheney, Trump, or Pence for president?

[Marvin Kalb @MarvinKalb]

Question: Are there still Republicans, such as those who supported Reagan, who can spot the difference between truth and falsehood? And who have the courage to speak up? Please say yes.

ONLY FOR YANKEE FANS: if Yankees win wild card game, they then have to face Tampa Bay again, and they're spooked by TB. Awfully hard to beat them. So enjoy the WC day, and hope for better things next year.

Only for Yankee fans: In despair in recent months, I've returned to baseball, my eternal salvation, better when the Yankees are winning. What in God's name has happened to them btw? They may not make the playoffs, after all. And then what's left but returning to despair?

At this time of national pain, can Biden's critics hold off for a while? Can seekers of cheap political points just cool it, while we remember and thank the 13 US servicemen and women who died in Afghanistan? Please. There will be plenty of time for finger-pointing.

📣 Speaking with @NPR, @MarvinKalb said Alexei Navalny, who ended his hunger strike today, is the first dissident w/ social media behind him. "But whether he can take that soft power and translate it into hard power... that is something yet to be written."
