Quote of the day: "At the heart of the matter lies a fundamental question: Do we support our long-cherished ideals of democratic fair play or the “by any means necessary” approach that is becoming more prevalent in the current political climate?" ~ Jason Rezaian, Global Opinions writer, Opinion | The State Department has been funding trolls.
