Trump's last day: At 8 a.m. tomorrow Donald Trump will walk out with a 34% approval rating (narrowly escaping Harry Truman's all-time low of 32% approval) and a "record-low" average of 41% approval, according to Gallup's "last" Trump poll.

Cottle: Cutest couple, class clown and a competitive year for D.C. superlatives Michelle Cottle This year was a soul-crushing hellscape of a dumpster fire. For sanity’s sake, large chunks of it should be repressed as soon as possible. The rolling crises did, however, have a clarifying effect on the political scene. Some players rose to meet the moment.

Weird as it may have been, the “Trump Bump” theory wa...

I think theres a sense that doing something and having it fail is better than simply doing nothing. if they have a majority, theyve been saying for eight years, seven years, theyre going to repeal this law and then they do nothing about it. thats potentially more dangerous for that senate majority than taking a vote on thing like this and having it fail. look, i think the overall dynamic here with the president is quickly devolving into a nightmare scenario. i think instead of talking about -- w...
