President Trump launched a military strike against Iran overnight — not from the Situation Room, but from his Mar-a-Lago resort — framing it as the kind of decisive action no American president has taken against Tehran in nearly 50 years.

Trump said the attack was meant to stop “this very wicked, radical dictatorship from threatening America.”

As Bill Clinton answers questions from lawmakers about Jeffrey Epstein today, it’s not just another chapter in a scandal that refuses to die.

It will be a precedent.

The scandal surrounding Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-TX) isn’t fading. It’s metastasizing.

Newly released text messages reportedly show Gonzales repeatedly pressuring a congressional staffer for sexually explicit photos. The same staffer later died by self-immolation — a devastating and horrific end that has cast the allegations in an even darker light. Her husband called Gonzales “a predator.”

Ronald Reagan changed the choreography of the State of the Union in 1982 when he looked up to the gallery and asked Lenny Skutnik to stand.

Skutnik had dived into the icy Potomac River to rescue a passenger after Air Florida Flight 90 slammed into the 14th Street Bridge.

I’ve watched every State of the Union address for as long as I can remember.

Some have soared. Some have stumbled. Most land somewhere in between.

Politics is famously unpredictable. And yet, for decades, there’s been a relentless effort to tame it — to turn chaos into math.

First came polling averages, smoothing out the noise and promising clarity. Then the models arrived, layering assumptions on top of assumptions to generate tidy probabilities.

I’m often asked for career advice by young, idealistic people who want to change the world through politics.

They usually light up when they talk about Washington. Capitol Hill. Congress. The “big leagues.”

As Donald Trump prepares to deliver his State of the Union address tomorrow night, a new Washington Post poll offers a blunt assessment: the country isn’t buying what he’s selling.

Trump’s job approval stands at 39%, with 60% disapproving — including a striking 47% who strongly disapprove.

No matter what the Supreme Court says, Donald Trump isn’t backing down on tariffs.

Even after the Court ruled that his use of emergency powers to wage a global trade war was unlawful, Trump signaled he’s prepared to escalate rather than retreat.

President Trump has floated a lot of ways to send Americans free money.

None have actually happened.

For years, Donald Trump’s political survival skill has been simple: when the news turns bad, create bigger news.

A shocking comment, a cultural fight, a personal attack — anything that forces the media to look away from whatever problem is currently burning.

Donald Trump took a swipe at Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime performance, complaining that “nobody” could understand it because most of it was in Spanish.

You don’t have to like Bad Bunny. Musical taste isn’t the point.
