Outside the Beltway

Yet again, too little, too late.

A billionaire troll with a West Wing office.

Coping in a second Trump term.

“Snow/Bird”

Don’t panic, it’s just a quote and an observation.

On Christian compassion (and hypocrisy) and a little bit of the Streisand Effect for good measure.

You get what you vote for

Agencies are quickly seeking to comply with the President’s order.

Trying to upend 150 years of legal understanding with the stroke of a sharpie.

Only a handful of Republican Senators have objected. Mildly.

Multiple executive orders aim at rooting out the Deep State.

Not all norms.

A difference in degree is a difference in kind.

Another severe deviation from our norms.

Proud Boys and Oath Keepers insurrectionists are now free.

How they’re covering it.

Symbols matter.

It was a busy eleventh hour.

Today’s an appropriate on to think about the role of suffering in change

A preemptive strike against potential abuse of power.

The political upstart may have worn out his welcome.

Normal transition . . . and potential red flags.

Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, and both Roosevelts pushed the envelope, too!

And, yes, Inauguration Day as well.

The Curtis Yarvin interview.

And so it begins.

“…but I didn’t vote for that.”

We can’t fire the popular Chinese spyware, it quits.

Title IX, football, and the economics of college athletics.

About half the country wants about half of Trump.

It is not ratified.

The Majority Leader has a bigger role than previously reported.

An observation or two.

“May I Have This Dance?”

It “literally threatens our entire democracy, our basic rights and freedoms and a fair shot for everyone to get ahead.”

Deadlnes make deals.

There are a lot of people there.

Letting wild claims drive the policy discourse.
