Trump’s shutdown excuse is as close as he’ll ever get to an accidental confession. The shutdown isn’t a Washington parlor game—it’s a national disaster, and voters know exactly who lit the fuse. His proposed “solution”—ending the Senate filibuster—only underscores how disconnected he is from reality.

The Trump brand is poison—and that should terrify the GOP
Republicans just got routed. In Tuesday’s elections, Democrats didn’t merely hold on—they demolished the GOP across the map, from Virginia and New Jersey to California, where voters approved a ballot measure expected to hand Democrats as many as five...
