Ghost Gun Issue Pushes Its Way Into 2018 Campaign
A Second Amendment position has already cost one Republican attorney general candidate an endorsement from Connecticut's premiere gun rights group, and it's likely to continue to be part of the discussion through the November election.

The First Fake Media-Induced Mental Illness
Fake mainstream news sources have actually succeeded in broadcasting so much unbridled fear into the United States that weak-kneed left-leaning Americans are coming down with a mental illness that goes by two different names: Trump Anxiety Disorder and Trump Derangement Syndrome. The symptoms of these conditions include a delusional belief that it's the end of the world, a disorientation that's beyond the liberal norm, an unhealthy obsession with following every liberal news channel's apocalypse of the day, a deep sense of anxiety and dread, and being prone to unhinged hissy fits if anyone dares to besmirch the sterling reputation of either Hillary Rodham Clinton or Barack Hussein Obama.

Forget left and right. This is what will determine the midterms.
But other binaries can be more relevant. "Forward" vs. "backward" often define a choice facing an electorate better than the standard ideological categories.
Trump: Purpose of 2016 meeting was to get dirt on Clinton
President Donald Trump on Sunday offered his most definitive and clear public acknowledgment that his oldest son met with a Kremlin-aligned lawyer at Trump Tower during the 2016 campaign to "get information on an opponent," defending the meeting as "totally legal and done all the time in politics."

It’s a horrible idea to reduce the capital gains tax without a vote in Congress
There's a segment in the legendary 1990s tv show Animaniacs called "Good Idea, Bad Idea" where the character Mr. Skullhead demonstrates ideas both good and bad. The presentations are quite logical - why would someone even attempt to drink milk straight from the cow? - and narrated by the illustrious Tom Bodett of Motel 6 fame.

The Republican hypocrisy on racism
Right-wing commentators had a field day last week with the news that Sarah Jeong, a young Korean American hired to write about technology for the New York Times editorial board, had a history of attacking "white people" on Twitter.

Readers Write: Open-office space, governor’s race, St. Paul City Council, Minneapolis City Council
As a workplace designer, my media feeds and inbox were full of summaries like that of the recent Harvard Business School study on the impact of open-office plans .
