Outside the Beltway

President Trump can’t handle the truth.

The President is issuing dangerous statements.

People who keep calling Covid-19 “just the flu” haven’t looked very closely at the numbers.

A much-needed call for unity.

The pandemic is massively more livable given modern technology.

Critics of the modeling and of the data analysis are being too simplistic.

Thomas Modly, the acting Secretary of the Navy, has embarrassed himself and must go.

The British PM is very sick from COVID-19.

In recent weeks the US has ramped-up pressure on Maduro.

A public health crisis turns into a public relations crisis.

President Trump has made plenty of mistakes handling this crisis. Let’s not invent dubious ones.

He is actually tweeting about ratings.

Comparing South Korea to the US tells a lot about the failure of leadership in the US.

Exactly the opposite of what we need in a crisis.

The Constitution in times of extreme crisis.

This isn’t what leadership looks like.

Trump’s approach from the beginning has been reality-denying. It makes it difficult to take anything the administration proposed seriously.

On Tucker last night, Patrick made an odd appeal (to be kind).

The President tweeted, “We cannot let the cure be worse than the problem itself.”

The man is a moron.

American’s online sales leader is straining under the social distancing regime.

Some on Twitter (yes, I know) seem concerned, but is this even a good question?

The Daily: “Alone Together”

An ongoing missed opportunity to lead by example.

An example of the contrast (Narcissist-in-chief IV).

In his own words

(Alternative title: Narcissist-in-Chief III)

It’s time to end this thing.

Young people acting selfishly is a fact of life.

You can’t make this stuff up.

Too many people still don’t understand the idea behind ‘flattening the curve.’ That includes our President.

This could be a very long series.

Whocouldanode?

People who should know better are making ridiculous claims.

Is this our Rock Hudson moment?

If a global pandemic and economic crisis weren’t enough excitement . . . .

The greatest crisis the nation has faced in my lifetime.

We may be seeing the beginning of the end.

The Democratic wagons continue to circle around Biden.

Conferences, sporting events, and even school has been canceled to avoid spreading the pandemic.

He’s repelling the people he needs to mount a comeback.

The races are more alike—and yet more different—than we seem to remember.

Four highly-qualified (and two less-qualified) women ran and lost in 2020.

She lost in both of her home states. She shouldn’t be embarrassed.

Many people have voted for candidates who aren’t running anymore.

The administration’s handling underscores its poor governance skills (and the degree to which it doesn’t matter to supporters).

Bloomberg waffles on China while Sanders has a soft spot for Castro.

There’s a disturbing pattern of misogyny from his supporters.

Only the best people.
