Outside the Beltway

An attack on the First Amendment in plain sight.

Where are we with my concerns about the Trump administration?

Thoughts on the election and on the electoral rules used.

Democrats are mostly condemning it and Republicans are divided.

Thinking about possible outcomes.

We’re officially past rhyming and into history (or at least rhetoric) repeating.

Not really posts, but hey, here they are anyway.

The administration’s war on higher ed has escalated.

Terrorism in Colorado. Continued awful violence in Gaza.

What Trump and DOGE hath wrought.

Who could have known?

A major reshuffling of the foreign policy team 100 days into the administration.

A reminder.

USA! USA! USA!

Will the Netanyahu government double down on its weakening of Iran?

A glaring example of trying to terrorize those the administration doesn’t like.

The postwar era may have ended yesterday.

A shocking but completely unsurprising development.

Really, a older, more imperialistic one.

Unfortunately it is a destructive one.

A little ethnic cleansing coming right up.

More outrageous behavior.

Sorting through the deluge.
