A hopeful patriotism

On America's birthday we can criticize the country while also maintaining affection, pride, and a real feeling that we're all in this messy politics together.

Dear Cosmopolitans,

As we head into the holiday weekend, I wanted to wish you all a very happy Fourth of July.

Danielle Pletka and I are taking a break this week from Hot Takes Happy Hour for the holiday weekend. But you can still join us in celebrating America with a patriotic cocktail!
