Outside the Beltway

Perhaps the most normal thing President Trump has done.

The 46th President’s foreign policy team is taking shape.

A nonpartisan official is refusing to do her duty.

“Now this campaign is over, what is the will of the people? What is our mandate?”

The early reaction was premature.

The lies aren’t working anymore.

Her Democratic opponent has conceded.

Will he be a uniter or a divider?

Fear of a reprise of 2016 is still with us.

Two prominent media pollsters are hedging their bets.

The stakes of losing will be catastrophic. Either way.

Rudy Giuliani and a hack tabloid are trying to revive the Burisma story.

A truly chaotic combination.

They are standing by as ordered.

Joe Biden’s chances remain extraordinarily good.

An unconvincing attack on the Democratic position.

The President is deeply leveraged with no escape in sight.

Multiple reports have the Notre Dame graduate replacing Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Two related discussions.

The iconic Supreme Court justice has died at the age of 87.

Is Trump really an outlier?

President Trump is historically unpopular and has consistently trailed Joe Biden. He could still win.

Is shunning those without college degrees the last acceptable prejudice?

The one-time wunderkind, blogging pioneer, and same-sex marriage champion is now on the outs.

An appeal to some pretty basic virtues.

The official campaign to oust Donald Trump is off to a good start.

Joe Biden’s running mate will be highly scrutinized. What’s fair game?

A choice that’s both historic and unsurprising.

Remember how people used to think he was playing multi-dimensional chess?

The National Security Advisor to Presidents Ford and GHW Bush has died.

She would hardly be the first running mate who criticized the nominee in a debate.

A civil rights legend has passed.

It’s just not immediate.

Conspiracy theories are poisoning the United States. That’s no joke.

A shocking and yet completely unsurprising development.

The Paycheck Protection Program protected some interesting paychecks.

Joementum.

Donald Trump would be a more effective and dangerous President if he and his team were more competent.

Always look for evidence.

If the Democrats win back the White House in November, it’ll be no thanks to men.

The President of the United States is on the precipice of fascism.

The contrast could not be more clear.

Every Democratic woman seems to be under consideration.

Presidents have appointed loyalists since time immemorial. Has this one gone too far?

We need a better vocabulary for treating the spectrum between rude and horrific.

The presumptive Democratic nominee says, “They aren’t true. This never happened.”

An 8-1 rebuke from the nation’s highest court.

And some notes on Trump’s media exposure.

Things are not looking good.

Especially for Joe Biden.
