I think this is very good, though incredibly distressing. We are watching the same happening here as they work to make funding happen for Reform, because Reform will sell policy to the highest bidder.

Thank you! I love The Atlantic (which normally has a paywall). And I love Anne Appelbaum, who is smart and astute - though unfortunately humorless.

In case you're interested, she was just on Firing Line, mostly discussing Trump and Xi.
