Outside the Beltway

My latest for Defense One.

Because a certain kind of election nerd likes graphs.

A shadowy flight into the realm of evidence that does not exist.

This time in the PA Supreme Court

Arguments and analyses that are, well, turkeys.

That’s unpossible!

Yet another retired general in the post would be a bad idea.

Team Trump and the WI recount.

They were rejected bigly.

Why isn’t Joe Biden President already?

Bringing sloppy to the outrageous.

Perhaps the most normal thing President Trump has done.

The right to worship trumps the public’s health.

Women in national security circles love this woman.

Why did Emily Murphy finally do her job?

Was Trump’s attempt to overturn the outcome a one-off or a sign of things to come?

The 87-year-old former San Francisco mayor isn’t woke enough.

Maybe it’s not going to be Michèle Flournoy after all.

President Trump has finally allowed the GSA to certify the “apparent” winner.

No need for alarm.

The EIB host and Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient is not impressed.

Another unassailable if boring cabinet choice.

He would be the first Latino and first immigrant in the post.

She’d be America’s first woman intelligence chief.

At high noon.

He seems to have taken his ball and gone home.

We won’t have Sidney Powell to kick around any more.

The 46th President’s foreign policy team is taking shape.

The virus is real and infections and exposures have consequences.

More on why it isn’t going to happen.

Busy week, missed schedules.

More rhetorical undermining, even as the process moves forward.

Truly the dumbest timeline.

Some Republicans are doing their jobs.

But, still very bad.

While the authoritarian threat recedes, the fascist threat remains.

A shameful farce continues to unfold.
