Outside the Beltway

The President minced no words.

A million dollars a day.

Not so much.

Politicizing the military is legal, but dangerous.

Trump likes to use force.

The optics are not good.

One of the big ones has given up.

Here we go again.

Spinelessness isn’t permanent.

Trump asks Texas to further gerrymander the state.

The linguistic stylings and white supremacy of Tommy Tuberville.

Maximalist claims are almost surely overstated.

No. But it won’t matter.

The challenges and harms of meeting campaign promises.

The culture seems to be shifting.

A GOP member of Congress on deportations.

The 45th President looks to be the 47th.

It’s not been a great few days for J. D. Vance

Trump’s second term would be much worse than his first.

Doubling down on the MAGA.

Never underestimate the hypocrisy of politicians.

It all comes down to Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan.

Political grandstanding over dubious claims of privilege.

Democratic strategists are complaining that Biden is being too honest.

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

A longstanding project inches forward.

The GOP caught the car and now doesn’t know what to do.
