Quote of the Day

“It is Trump’s go-to parlor trick to torque up the base, change subjects and bait Democrats to argue that crime and homelessness are not problems when many living in those communities and beyond, believe they are. So the challenge is to call it out for what it is without dismissing the legitimate concerns people have.”

— David Axelrod, quoted by Politico, on President Trump’s takeover of D.C. police.
