Meanwhile, just down I-90: the W.E.B. Du Bois Library at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. The tallest academic library in the world. Unlike what they do at Harvard or MIT, it is named for a scholar, not a donor.

There’s definitely some true believers, but at least 60-70% of Republicans in Congress know they’re making the world a worse place every day. They just refuse to do anything about it unless every avenue self interest gets shut out from them.

i do not care if Trump's comments result in nothing tonight. no one who even thinks of saying the phrase "a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again" should be allowed to operate an ice cream stand, nevermind the most powerful office on the planet
