The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Trump’s obsession with getting the Nobel Peace Prize reflects a broader Maga phenomenon - craving for acceptance and praise from a “liberal” establishment they claim to despise.
