The way it works is a letter stands for another letter. For example: AXYDLBAAXR is LONGFELLOW (does not apply to today's cryptogram).
Beware, the game is very addictive. If this is your first time, don't be intimidated, you’ll be solving them all within a few days. If you’re stumped, take a break and return to it.
PLEASE DO NOT post the answer in general comments, but DO post your time and how you made out.
You can certainly send your solution to my private reply, or if you need a hint for today’s Cryptogram ASK THE GROUP FOR HELP!
I suggest printing these out and work them on paper. If you need a little help you can copy and paste it to Hal’s Helper below.
You can then work on the puzzle without using pen and paper, but I recommend that you do NOT look at the letter counter.
One last request. Feel free to post a fun or clever clue, the more tangential to the quotation the better, but please don’t put the actual words of the quote in the clue.
Sorry, couldn’t sleep. So upset about them leaving those working dogs in cages at the Kabul airport.
I hate the leaders of our military and this country right now, Can’t loathe the press any more than I do.

Someone should write an ode to that.
A penny saved, is a penny urned.”
*groan* LOL
What’s a Greek urn?
About 40,000 Euros/year, if he’s any good.
That got me the first two words and then the rest of the puzzle.

You need to buy a couple scratch offs tomorrow.
Tomorrow’s CG is a good one.
I’m challenging you to solve it line by line. IOWs you solve line one, then two etc.
