    My latest editor's letter, from the current issue of The Week. Written before the White House meeting (that's print ...) but holds up fine. Am I the sucker? For as long as I can remember I thought that the United States stood for democratic values and individual liberty. These were supposed to be the guiding lights of American foreign policy, even if the principles might not always be absolute or the path to them always direct.

    Of the flurry of executive orders that President Donald Trump signed on his first day in office, there is one that I find most troubling: the effort to cancel birthright citizenship. The understanding of the 14th Amendment's grant of citizenship to "all persons born and naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof" has been stable for more than a century and a quarter.

    Last week the Supreme Court heard arguments over a Tennessee law barring sex transition-related treatment for minors. The outcome of the case appears to be a foregone conclusion; the Supreme Court looks certain to uphold the Tennessee law.

Yes, the "Little Marco" sobriquet that Trump gave Rubio eight years ago would be shadowing the Florida senator all the way to the State Department.

There's lots of good investigative reporting in the New York Times, ProPublica, the Washington Post, etc. But tough questions mostly get asked of just one side. That doesn't mean "all parties are equally bad." But if your fire always goes one way, credibility suffers.

My editor's letter from the current edition of @TheWeek If colleges have done a lousy job running themselves, a federal government hellbent on an ideological crusade will do a far worse one. ----- American conservatives have long compared left-wing campus zealots to the Red https://t.co/ohUj5KAx52
