When President Trump announced that he would pick Jim Mattis, a retired four-star general, to serve as secretary of Defense, the decision was met with relief. In January 2017, Trump seemed like he might well be able to give conservatives real leadership and credibility on foreign policy. Mattis had the respect of the president and the military as well as the knowledge and experience necessary to navigate emerging threats to…

Video Sen. Chuck Schumer: We arrived at this moment because Trump has been on a destructive two-week temper tantrum Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., called on President Trump to “abandon the wall” Saturday if he wants to reopen the government, saying Trump does not have the votes in the Senate to get it funded — hours after the government shut down over an impasse over funding for Trump’s signature 2016 campaign promise….

Looking at where things stand ahead of a midnight Friday deadline, all signs are pointing to a partial government shutdown. Typically, when trying to assess outcomes of Congressional standoffs, it’s best to look past some of the details and consider the bottom line political motivations and incentives for the key players. Right now, we’re in a situation in which the Republican-controlled Senate passed a bill to temporarily keep government open…

You should greatly lament President Trump’s announcement on Thursday that Defense Secretary Jim Mattis is resigning. A scholar and retired four-star Marine general with the extremely unsuited nickname, “Mad Dog,” Mattis is universally respected by U.S. allies and universally feared by U.S. foes. In his resignation letter, Mattis noted that Trump deserves a defense secretary who is in closer alignment with his own views. While Mattis’ letter pointed out the…

When the Trump White House revoked one of CNN’s nearly 50 permanent press passes, many Washington reporters reacted as if Trump had unilaterally revoked the First Amendment. When Trump dumped a box of fish food in a Japanese fish pond, Twitter exploded with journalists’ lamentations about his gaucheness (before everyone realized he was following the lead of Japan’s prime minister). Repeatedly, when Trump blocked 11th-hour regulations issued by his predecessor,…

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Wednesday announced a plan to fund the government through Feb. 5, a move that would allow Congress to go home for Christmas, avoid a partial shutdown, and defer a resolution to the standoff over the border wall funding until next year. But it will also mean that House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi will have more power over the final product. Right now, Republicans still…

The Islamic State has not been defeated in Syria. But even if it had been, the durable defeat of that terrorist organization requires a continuing American military presence in Syria. Let’s be clear, President Trump’s pledge on Wednesday to withdraw all U.S. forces from Syria is a great gift to Syrian President Bashar Assad, Iran, Russia, and ISIS 2.0. First off, let’s consider what the U.S. military presence in Syria…

Fox News and Tucker Carlson faced additional sponsor defections on Monday, with fitness maker Bowflex announcing that it would cease advertising on Carlson’s primetime program “Tucker Carlson Tonight” after a flap about Carlson’s comments about immigrants last week. Bowflex’s decision follows similar moves by Pacific Life, the employment website Indeed and SmileDirectClub, which all publicly cut ties to the show. “We can confirm that Nautilus, Inc., parent company for Bowflex,…

“I’m not saying it’s a crime. I’m saying it’s uncanny,” he explained. “The symmetry continued right up until the end, in the days leading up to the campaign, the actual election, the Russians went all in on what? Allegations of voter fraud, warnings that the election would be stolen.”
