I live in a country where, at least by my sense of arithmetic and justice, Al Gore should have been president, not George W. Bush.

Vladimir Putin wants to become the de facto head of an illiberal, xenophobic, hypernationalist trend in world politics.

I think we should be alarmed, watchful, and, as journalists, rigorous and fearless. I think we should be alert.

I know from my conversations with people in the administration that every world leader that Obama met in Berlin, in Peru, in Athens was extremely alarmed by Trump's election. That very much includes Angela Merkel.
