#Resistance journalism is kicking into gear ahead of the midterm elections. Opinion columnists at major publications are earning those fat pay checks by courageously churning out insights into why "Trump Is Bad," or "American Needs a President, Not a Tweeter-In-Chief" — thoughtful arguments that challenge readers to think deeply about the issues. Meanwhile, editors at Time magazine and the New Yorker (the publication arm of the Andy Borowitz blog), are having a field day with their cover art selections.

Miraculous Victory (November 2016)
Pardon My Hench (December 2018)
