“This is #cowardice, a moment of darkness that will leave #democracy as a casualty. Donald Trump will celebrate this as an invitation to further intimidate The Post’s owner, #JeffBezos (& other media owners),” former Post executive editor #MartyBaron, who led the paper while #Trump was president, said in a text message to The Post. “History will mark a disturbing chapter of #spinelessness at an institution famed for courage.”

Fascinating thing abt watching someone break w their party over 1 big disagreement is how it pushes them to rethink other party-line stances, too. A few days ago Liz Cheney criticized abortion bans. Now Kinzinger endorses electing pres by popular vote

Adam Kinzinger:

Want to create change in America? Get rid of electoral college & force all candidates to compete for all Americans
