A delicious way to get the two things the president-elect has always wanted most: revenge and elite approval.

Fact-checkers can't show us the real authoritarian danger posed by our dissembling president-elect.

Hatred often hides behind a mask of jokiness.

A battle over infrastructure could be the start of a big, bloody, intraparty war.

His conflicts of interest can help build the populist argument against him that Clinton's campaign failed to mount.

The appetite for false news stories in 2016 was driven by mainstream Republicans looking to justify a vote for Donald Trump.

He might disappoint his base on foreign and economic policy, but his transition suggests he's sticking to his guns on immigration.

Mike Pence might be preferable as president, but there are more obvious paths to fighting authoritarianism.

Paul Ryan's Congress is going to push a very unpopular policy—giving Democrats a political opening.

Outlandish campaign promises helped him win. Will liberals learn from it?

By electing the Republican nominee, America has abdicated its role as the guarantor of the international liberal order.

Even if Trump loses, America must reckon with the hatred that he exposed.

Republicans rallied behind their nominee, but his diehard opponents in the GOP can still fix the party.
