Colorado’s long-ousted but still not forgotten Sen. Cory Gardner appeared on the Fox News Channel earlier today to praise President Donald Trump’s agenda and chastise Democrats for “calling half of the country traitors” and “telling people to eff off when they disagree”–the premise being these are things that Democrats do and not, you know, Donald […]

UPDATE: Via David A. Graham of The Atlantic, this is even more confounding than you thought: This afternoon, President Donald Trump announced a partial pivot on social media. On the one hand, he ratcheted up tariffs on China to 125 percent. On the other hand, he announced that he was reducing tariffs on “more than […]
Yesterday, the U.S. House debated but then postponed a vote on a bill known as the No Rogue Rulings Act (NORRA), sponsored by California’s Rep.

FOX News touted the measure yesterday: The […]

Way back in June 2017, then-Sen.
