Ann Arbor, Mich.: Jimmy Kimmel may be the bravest person in America right now. Despite real risks to his livelihood — and his and his family’s safety — he shows up night after night and says exactly what he thinks about our president, his administration and the weak Democratic and Republican Congress members who’ve enabled his behavior and actions. He does all this landing sharp, poignant blows while keeping us laughing at a time in American history when it’s hard to crack a smile.

If you’re not watching his nightly monologues, you’re missing a living, breathing definition of speaking truth to power. Call a reporter “piggy”? Kimmel throws it right back at you, Donald. He’s there spotlighting President Trump’s historically low and sinking approval numbers. He does it with humor, but there’s nothing soft or evasive about what he’s saying. How many people would have the guts to do that on national television, night after night? In an era when criticism of powerful figures can bring a torrent of online harassment, threats and political retaliation, most people in public life choose silence or safe, vague statements. Kimmel chooses the opposite. He leans into the First Amendment and uses his platform relentlessly.

Anyone who believes in the Constitution and believes America can again become the country it aspires to be owes Kimmel a debt of gratitude. He’s helping us laugh through a shameful period in American history, but he’s doing more than telling jokes. He is living the First Amendment and reminding us that the path back to a better America runs straight through the willingness to call out lies, cruelty, and corruption. Steven M. Stein

Glasgow, Scotland: Watching the news on the telly here, seeing your president celebrating Christmas at Mar-a-Lago, sitting at a table with his wife and father-in-law, I can bloody well say that I have never seen a more miserable-looking person on Christmas Eve than him. My advice to Trump is that making other people happy can alleviate whatever misery afflicts you. Nothing could do........
