Outside the Beltway

We tortured some folks.

An oft-misunderstood legal principle.

We’ve seen this movie before.

Gone, gone, the damage done.

A reminder the US government sent people to CECOT who were then tortured.

Cruelty in service of nativist purity.

The obvious has been made expllicit.

An attempt to connect higher education and political violence.

Where are we with my concerns about the Trump administration?

The curious case of the finger tattoos.

That’s a problem, given her job and all.

Being nice at dinner is easy.

To the Trump administation this a feature, not a bug.

But the Trump administration is out to wreck it.

A day of AI, tariffs, and world historic stupidity.

Can we say the administration is putting people in camps?

This would include US citizens.

A fifty-year dictatorship has been ousted. What now?

Plus: Governor Glenn Youngkin helps out.

A massive Israeli operation. To what end?
