Outside the Beltway

But the Trump administration is out to wreck it.

The media, the academy, and the courts, are all in the crosshairs.

Then process gets in the way of efficiency, kill the process.

Can we say the administration is putting people in camps?

Looking for leakers.

It made history in many ways.

You will be shocked at the news!

The 47th President had a busy Monday.

And remembering “jokes” about governing like a dictator.

The political upstart may have worn out his welcome.

He is yet again underscoring what types of world leaders he likes.

A general conversation and a lot of specifics about RFK. Jr.

One thread that runs through most explanations for Tuesday’s result.

Floating the idea that NC should just award its EVs to Trump.

Confirming who he always has been.

Yet another example.

The actor known for “Good Times,” “Roots,” and “The West Wing” is gone at 84.

But it is all still close.

Five minutes is an eternity in the current information environment.

The legendary comedian is gone at 94.

Stuck in the semi-public stage.

A relatively strong performance doesn’t change the narrative.

A morally right but politically fraught move.

Will the first President convicted of crimes be the first convicted felon re-elected as President?

Closing arguments start today and a verdict and possible sentencing could come this week.

Faux amateurism is dead. What replaces it remains to be seen.

A collection I started but didn’t fully finish.

A technological miracle with obvious potential for abuse.

Americans look back more fondly on the Trump economy than they did in 2020.

Its like déjà vu all over again.

The state of the union is apparently fiery.

A well-intentioned but likely doomed effort.
