Outside the Beltway

The President’s support is considerably stronger among Black Democrats.

Even getting shot, he can’t pretend to be a unifying force for long.

I question the timing.

“Pictures”

Trump’s second term would be much worse than his first.

A basic run down and rannking.

Efforts to oust him from the race have picked up steam.

Some interesting, if unworkable, ideas.

Because I really do have too many open.

Caution about making too many assumptions.

Doubling down on the MAGA.

Did Trump’s stoic reaction win him the election?

Expect an appeal and a long wait

History rhymes in uncanny ways

We don’t know much but the early details are all too familiar.

Impressive photojournalism.

And some reminders from where the violent rhetoric emanates.

Sometimes all we have is the choice of how we react to events.

“Dr. Ruth” is gone at 96.

The1980s fitness icon is gone at 76.

A shocking if perhaps unsurprising development.

A clash of possibilities.

There’s something for everyone in the post-debate surveys.

But the story will continue for a while yet.

A relatively strong performance doesn’t change the narrative.

“Across the Sky”

The President’s demand that Democrats shut up and rally behind him is going unheeded.

Democrats desperate for a different nominee are falling in line as the President refuses to go.

The slide continues.

The changes are minor but in the wrong direction for the guy who’s behind.

The far right won the first round. The far left won the second. It’s a mess.

Are the press out to get the President? Or abetting a coverup?

More polling that contradicts the panic.
