Sessions Lessons

July 28, 2017 - 7:00am

Transparency, thy name is Trump, Donald Trump. No filter, no governor, no editor lies between his impulses and his public actions. He tweets, therefore he is.

Bungled Collusion Is Still Collusion

July 17, 2017 - 7:00am

The Russia scandal has entered a new phase and there's no going back.

The Great Muslim Civil War -- and Us

June 23, 2017 - 7:00am

The U.S. shoots down a Syrian fighter-bomber. Iran launches missiles into eastern Syria. Russia threatens to attack coalition aircraft west of the Euphrates. What is going on?

To Die for Estonia?

June 3, 2017 - 7:00am

So what if, in his speech last week to NATO, Donald Trump didn't explicitly reaffirm the provision that an attack on one is an attack on all?

Why Middle East Peace Starts in Saudi Arabia

May 27, 2017 - 7:00am

The quixotic American pursuit of Middle East peace is a perennial. It invariably fails, yet every administration feels compelled to give it a try. The Trump administration is no different.

The Guardrails Can't Contain Trump

May 20, 2017 - 7:00am

The pleasant surprise of the First 100 Days is over. The action was hectic, heated, often confused, but well within the bounds of normalcy. Policy (e.g., health care) was being hashed out, a Supreme Court nominee confirmed, foreign policy challenges (e.g. North Korea) addressed.

A Political Ax Murder

May 15, 2017 - 7:00am

Trump: 'Normalized' but Still Scary

May 6, 2017 - 5:00am

With near unanimity, my never-Trump friends confess a sense of relief. It could have been worse. They thought it would be worse. A deep apprehension still endures but the international order remains intact, the republic still stands, and no "enemy of the people" has (yet) been arrested.

The Great Reversal -- for now

April 14, 2017 - 7:00am

The world is agog at Donald Trump's head-snapping foreign policy reversal. He runs on a platform of America First. He renounces the role of world policeman.

I'm the president of the United States. And from now on, it's going to be America First."

Karma, Precedent and the Nuclear Option

April 8, 2017 - 7:00am

For euphemism, dissimulation and outright hypocrisy, there is nothing quite as entertaining as the periodic Senate dust-ups over Supreme Court appointments and the filibuster. The arguments for and against the filibuster are so well-known to both parties as to be practically memorized. Both nonetheless argue their case with great shows of passion and conviction. Then shamelessly switch sides -- and scripts -- depending on the ideology of the nominee.
