Outside the Beltway

The longer video and deeper investigation of the incident reveals a very different story.

President Trump put an offer on the table to end the shutdown, the question is whether it will actually lead anywhere.

A leading conservative makes a truly bizarre defense of the President.

With Democrats making a new proposal and the President set to speak later today, there could be movement on ending the government shutdown. I wouldn’t be too optimistic, though.

In a rare public statement, the office of Special Counsel Robert Mueller is disputing reports that the President directed Michael Cohen to lie to Congress.

A new blockbuster report implicates the President in no less than five Federal crimes.

President Trump responded to the suggestion that the State of the Union be rescheduled by revoking military transportation for a Congressional trip to visit troops in Afghanistan.

Once again, Rudy Giuliani is contradicting his client.

Nancy Pelosi is “suggesting” to the President that the State of the Union be rescheduled for a time after the government shutdown ends, but it clearly seems like more than just a suggestion.

New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand is the latest Democratic entrant into the 2020 race for President.

The House GOP has moved to rebuke Iowa Congressman for his racist remarks. What took them so long?

After twenty-five days, there’s no end in sight to the Federal Government shutdown. You can thank the President for that.

If you’re looking for the biggest obstacle to a resolution to the government shutdown, look no further than President Donald J. Trump.

The government shutdown has now entered historic territory, and the Trump Administration is moving closer to a “national emergency” or other extra-legal means to get money for his wall.

President Trump is claiming he never said Mexico would directly pay for the wall, except for all those times when he said Mexico would directly pay for the wall.

Iowa’s Steve King has long expressed anti-immigrant and racist views, now he’s asking why that’s a bad thing.

President Trump stormed out of a meeting with Congressional leaders as the shutdown drags on with no end in sight.

As the shutdown drags on, Republicans are beginning to fear that members in the House and Senate may begin to fall away from supporting the President.

President Trump is making clear that he doesn’t care how his shutdown is impacting Federal workers.

As the shutdown continues, there’s little sign of progress on either end of Pennsylvania Avenue.

China has landed a probe on the far side of the Moon, the latest step forward in an aggressive Chinese push into space.

Herb Kelleher, who helped found an airline that revolutionized the industry thanks to his unconventional choices, has died at the age of 87.

As the shutdown drags on, the President is digging in his heels even further.

December’s Jobs Report blew past expectations to show more than 300,000 jobs created.

In a late first-day session, Congress passed a series of bills designed to reopen most of the government, but they’re already ‘dead on arrival’ in the Senate.

Not surprisingly, President Trump significantly accelerated the pace of his lies in 2018.

In his annual message, Kim Jong Un sent a message to President Trump on denuclearization and the future of the Korean Peninsula.

Before even taking office, Mitt Romney is taking on the President. It’s a good sign, but we’ll see what it leads to.

President Trump began 2019 pretty much how he ended 2018, with irrational rants on Twitter.

That’s not how it works.

Democrats have unveiled what appears as if it will be their first effort to end the shutdown, but there are already signs Republicans will reject it.

President Trump is now threatening to close the border if he doesn’t get funding for his border wall.

Begun, the 2020 campaign has.

As 2018 draws to a close, there’s no sign that the government shutdown will end any time soon.

I’m not saying it was aliens, but……..

The fact that this President is a congenital liar is well-known. The actual number of lies less than two years into his Presidency, though, is astounding.

The numbers should guide policy, not silly symbols.

Christmas is behind us, but don’t expect any progress when it comes to the government shutdown, which is in its fifth day.

President Trump tried to get into the Christmas spirit last night. He failed.

More evidence that Trump does not know what he is doing.

While it has an admitted populist appeal. the idea of Congressional pay being withheld during a shutdown is a non-starter due to the Constitution.

With Congress out of town until at least Thursday and negotiations apparently deadlocked, the White House is saying it’s likely the shutdown will last into 2019.

President Trump announced today that James Mattis would be out as Secretary of Defense by the end of the year.

President Trump has lost another one of his top advisers on the fight against ISIS.

There was no progress on resolving the government shutdown today, and little hope that anything will happen before late next week.

The government entered its third shutdown of the year with little sign of an immediate resolution.

With just hours to go, a partial government shutdown is becoming more and more likely.

In what clearly appears to be a rebuke of the President, Defense Secretary James Mattis is retiring as Secretary of Defense.

Hours before the House was set to vote on a temporary funding bill for the government, President Trump has apparently changed his mind.

The North Korean government is making clear what it means when it speaks of denuclearization, and its far different from what the United States means.
