With nearly two years to go, almost anything in the realm of the 2020 presidential election could change from now until Election Day. The one thing that won’t, however, is math. Any Democrat seeking to unseat President Trump will have to achieve at least one of the following: mobilize the base to achieve Obama-level turnout and enthuse the Left, or successfully splinter off ideological agnostics and the suburbs that defected…

President Donald Trump has lauded the federal employees furloughed or working without pay due to the partial government shutdown, describing those not getting paid as “great patriots.” Around 800,000 federal workers have gone without pay since the shutdown began on December 22. Now the longest in U.S history, the government closure looks set to drag on further with Trump struggling to reach a funding deal with the Democratic Party. Read…

The president and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., have made it abundantly clear that this is all a performance to them. Trump had two years of Republican control of the House and Senate and failed to prioritize his premier campaign promise: increased border security. A GOP-controlled Congress didn’t pass so much as an e-verify expansion bill, let alone secure funding for his wall. He waited until the eleventh hour before…

Video Is debunked Trump-Cohen report a huge blow to BuzzFeed’s credibility? President Trump on Friday night slammed a BuzzFeed News report, which alleges the president has been implicated in a crime, saying its release marked a “very sad day for journalism” after Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team released a rare statement claiming the outlet got its facts wrong.

President Trump now stands accused of directing his former lawyer, Michael Cohen, to lie to Congress about Trump’s attempt to court Russian President Vladimir Putin during the campaign and build a hotel in Moscow. After two years of “bombshell” reports that proved duds, and “this is the beginning of the end!!!” declarations from the press, it’s natural to be skeptical of the import of this one. Also, after the biggest…

Outside of Congress, the BuzzFeed report created a buzz throughout Twitter into the pre-dawn hours on Friday: 

The Drudge Report used the banner on its website on Thursday to react to a report on how a poll the website conducted was rigged to be more in favor of President Trump. “Did Trump bribe Drudge poll?” read the top headline, linking to the original report of the poll-rigging. The Wall Street Journal report published earlier in the morning said that Trump’s former fixer Michael Cohen paid John Gauger,…

President Donald Trump’s 2020 campaign manager, Brad Parscale, has said several times that the campaign’s proprietary data show that the shutdown is a winning issue for the president. But in private, others close to the reelection effort aren’t saying the same thing. | Saul Loeb/AFP/Getty Images 2020 Elections The president publicly brags he is getting the best of Democrats as unhappy campaign officials find themselves trying to fire up his…

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., has proposed that President Trump postpone his Jan. 29 State of the Union address until after the partial government shutdown ends, arguing that a lack of funding for Homeland Security and U.S. Secret Service agents presents a serious security risk to the White House and Congress. The agencies charged with protecting the nation’s lawmaker, however, are disputing her suggestion that they are unable to perform…

Britain’s House of Commons is at its best when members of Parliament deliver passionate, persuasive speeches on matters of national consequence. We saw one such moment on Wednesday, when environment secretary Michael Gove of the Conservative Party attacked Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn. Gove’s address came just before a parliamentary confidence vote in Prime Minister Theresa May. That vote was won by May a few minutes later. Still, Gove’s speech…

Shutdown writing is tedious because it tends to follow a pattern: Nothing has happened for weeks and nothing is likely to happen for the next couple weeks. Updates to follow. The wall isn’t even really the point anymore, as if $5 billion could ever do more than pay for a few hundred steel slats along the southern border anyway. Aside from the overflowing toilets at national parks and the army…
