I have taken the liberty of crafting two pieces for the new Washington Post op-ed page that defend personal liberties and free markets. And here they are.

A judge kinda-sorta found for the White House against the Associated Press. But Trumpworld is pushing things way too far.

Republicans portray Trump as the nation’s “daddy,” a disciplinarian father who’s going to get America’s house in order. The analogy is more revealing than they realize.

Their phony “statistics” aren’t just an attempt to justify DOGE’s destruction of the government. Trump and Musk’s goal is even more duplicitous and shady.

Did you know that the United States is joining an international fascist network?

Trump is counting on his opposition’s deeply ingrained fear of being divisive to give him the room to break the country. So far he’s getting what he wants.

Trump, Musk, and their billionaire and theocratic allies are following the example of tyrants everywhere. But it’s worth remembering they haven’t all succeeded.

Somehow, Democrats got badly caught out by the president doing all the things he spent the past two years saying he was going to do if reelected.

Eric Reinhart submitted a column critical of RFK Jr. to the troubled newspaper. What they printed under his byline bore little resemblance to what he submitted.

Trump 1.0 was a Jackson Pollock—splat splat all over the place. Trump 2.0 is painting within very precise lines. It’s terrifying—but it should help plan how to fight.

Jeff Bezos’s increasingly meretricious newspaper stooped to publish a pathetic “both-sides” defense of the violent mob that stormed the Capitol.

Social media posts by Trump’s new press secretary reveal the irresolvable paradox—and the massive scam—at the heart of his immigration policies.

A bishop asked the president to show mercy to immigrants and scared children. The response tells us everything about the next four years.

Liberals spent the president-elect’s first term trying and failing to kick him out of office. This time out, they need to turn the White House into a prison.

As Trump prepares to return to office, Jeff Bezos’s paper is embracing corporate buzzwords.

Most people I know—even me, to an extent—have been avoiding it. Well, we don’t have that luxury anymore.

As Los Angeles burns, Trump and his allies are exploiting tragedy to push their favorite grievances about “diversity” and water management.

Gerald Rafshoon helped take Carter from the peanut farm to the White House. Here, he exclusively recalls some of the key moments of a decades-long relationship.

Did anything good actually happen this year?
