Outside the Beltway

Politics makes strange bedfellows.

A silly workaround to an infuriating problem that won’t go away.

Neither the Democrats nor the Republicans truly represent most Americans. Fixing that is exceedingly unlikely.

This man is the face of the post-Trump party.

The President of the United States has sent a bizarre, rant-filled letter to the Speaker of the House. Revealing just how unbalanced he actually is.

A new poll has a majority of respondents saying the President is a racist. He won’t care.

Trump’s attacks on racial minorities are going to continue, and get worse, the closer we get to 2020. Because stirring up fear and racial resentment among white working-class voters is the only way he can win.

Whether as candidates or as voters, Democrats can thank women for many of their victories on Tuesday.

With the primaries over, we can say that it’s been quite a successful year for women in politics.

Another milestone set to be crossed.
