Outside the Beltway

There must be a pony here somewhere.

An Acting Director who could not get Senate approval is making radical changes.

It’s true.

President Trump’s Senate co-partisans are growing increasingly frustrated with him.

Congress is defying the President on Iran, Ukraine, the slush fund, and more.

And weak parties, too.

Better than expected jobs report amid other less positive news.

Nothing like a war of choice to send indicators in the wrong direction.

More Americans are living abroad than ever. Probably.

This’ll help those approval numbers…

The fixes people want won’t help and those that will help, people don’t want.

Gone, gone, the damage done.

It beats the alternative but it ain’t for sissies.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL, except those that hate, steal, murder, and destroy everything that America stands for.

The Pentagon’s couch cushions are huuuuge.

Lack of understanding and poor institutional design=bad political outcomes.

The health agency has been gutted under RFK Jr.’s reign.

A dramatic escalation of the standoff.

We’re not alone in dysfunctional politics.

Can Democrats do anything?

The politics of words.

Are Democrats triggering voters by pushing the Overton Window on language, thereby subverting norms and creating barriers to participation?

The cruelty is the point?

In this case, Noem’s rent-free living.

There are no satisfying answers.
