If you thought about the worst possible choice for director of National Intelligence, former Democratic-turned-Republican Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard would be high up there.

Tom Cotton (R-AR), Lindsey Graham (R-SC), and Senate Majority […]
President-elect Donald Trump‘s early Cabinet appointments have ranged from the obvious (brilliant House Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik (R-NY) as ambassador to the United Nations) to the inspired (Fox News’s Pete Hegseth as defense secretary) to the aggravating (Gov.

Elise Stefanik (R-NY) and the rest of the Trump administration shouldn’t fall for it. Stefanik has been nominated by Trump as ambassador to the United Nations. Stefanik proved herself capable of the job when […]
President-elect Donald Trump has made no secret of his interest in forging an improved relationship with Russia and its president, Vladimir Putin. On paper, there is nothing wrong with this.

President Joe Biden served the United States well Wednesday by welcoming President-elect Donald Trump to the White House. In doing so, he set a far better example for America’s democratic constitutional order than the example the former president set four years ago. Four years ago, Trump used sporadic or otherwise unsubstantiated reports of voter fraud […]
President-elect Donald Trump has an opportunity to forge a foreign policy that strengthens America’s security for the coming decade. To accomplish such a goal, it is not enough to boast about America’s past greatness or believe that dictators can be pacified to prevent wars.

Going into the election, I was scolded by people telling me why what I was prioritizing in my voting choice was wrong. COVID-19 is over. Boys in girls’ sports isn’t happening. No one is getting censored. You’re getting it all wrong. Subtext: You’re an idiot influenced by far-right loons, and you’re a bigot to the core. What […]
