A man asked what looked like a simple question, and he expected a simple answer. Who is my neighbor? He wanted a line drawn on a map, a fence around his obligation, so he could know exactly whom he was required to love and feel at peace about everyone on the other side. He did not get a line.

And by the end the question had been turned inside out. Jesus never said who counts as a neighbor.

Political lying in America didn't happen by accident. It became a system — one that profits politicians, media companies, and foreign actors at the expense of citizens who can no longer agree on basic facts.

The failures that ought to trouble us are not the hard ones. Famine relief is complicated; peace settlements are complicated; climate is complicated. The troubling failures are the easy ones. Conflicts that run for thirty years and end on terms both sides could have written in an afternoon. Warnings filed, costed, and ignored until the water arrives. Men in office whom any competent hospital administrator would outperform by lunchtime. Every news bulletin carries three or four of these, and they are not difficult problems badly solved. They are simple problems not solved at all.
