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.

Timely quote. You’re right the author is spinning in his grave.
Yes, the author gave us such a precious gift and like everything else the progressives touch, they are corrupting and destroying it .
Or his freezer.
haha!
Who else could it be?
Weird. Hal’s Helper didn’t make a big enough space between words five and six. It looked like one word.
You doing these on your cell phone?
Yes - iPhone.
I try it first without Hal’s Helper, but half the time I get stuck - the Helper is conducive yo trial and error.

Got 4th word first and it opened it up. You are spot on with your thoughts on what author is doing.
It was too short for the usual start, so I guessed at JY, which turned out to be correct. I then added the most common letter, which got me the last word. That got me the rest of the puzzle.

Funny how people started the puzzle differently.
I’m fixin’ to do today’s.
