Outside the Beltway

After just sixty-six days, there are some disturbing patterns emerging from the Trump Administration.

This was one for the history books.

Let the games begin.

With a vote tentatively scheduled for this evening, House Republicans appear to lack the votes to pass the American Health Care Act.

More fireworks on the second day of the questioning of Neil Gorsuch, but his confirmation nonetheless seems assured.

Judge Neil Gorsuch’s confirmation hearings begin Monday morning, but it’s Senate Democrats who are in the hot seat.

Senate Democrats are divided on how to approach the nomination of Judge Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court, making it likely that he’ll be confirmed.

Whether you call it TrumpCare, RyanCare, or GOPCare, the Republican replacement for the PPACA isn’t very impressive.

With two votes last night, President Trump’s Cabinet is coming together.

Despite two Republican defections, Betsy DeVos was confirmed today as Secretary of Education.

Repeal and replace is likely to take longer than many Republicans thought it would, but that shouldn’t be surprising.

In the end, an effort by Democrats to block Neil Gorsuch’s nomination to the Supreme Court does not seem like a good use of their rather limited options.

With a relatively smooth announcement, Donald Trump has named a solid and qualified conservative who will likely be confirmed to the nation’s highest court.

President Trump will name his first Supreme Court pick on his 11th day in office.

President Trump hinted today that he’s likely to name his Supreme Court choice next week, and the list to appears have narrowed to three men.

With repeal of the Affordable Care Act now likely sooner rather than later, key Republicans are urging the party to have a replacement in place before repeal is voted on.

The new leader of the Senate’s Democrats says he regrets supporting the filibuster reforms his party passed in 2013.

A controversial member of George W. Bush’s foreign policy team is up for a post in Donald Trump’s State Department.

Alabama’s Jeff Sessions will become the nation’s top law enforcement officer. That’s not a good thing.

Senior Republican Senators are throwing cold water on the idea of eliminating the filibuster.

Reports of the demise of the Democratic Party have been greatly exaggerated.

Future Supreme Court Justice?

John McCain said that Senate Republicans will unite to block any Supreme Court appointment by a President Hillary Clinton.

As expected, the Senate rejected four gun control measures introduced in the wake of the attack in Orlando.
