Republicans' Tax Plan Takes a Quirky Swipe at the Little Guys By Lawrence Kudlow & Stephen Moore
Republicans are supposed to be the party that cuts the job-killing capital gains tax, not raises it. But because of a quirk in the Senate-passed tax bill, the tax on capital gains may go up -- and for some types of long-held assets, fairly substantially.

Democrats’ Chickens Come Home to Roost By Charles Hurt
Behold, Nancy Pelosi, the monster you yourself created.

Partisanship in Media Wasn't Started By the Koch Brothers By Luke Phillips
The announcement of Meredith Corporation’s planned acquisition of Time, Inc., which owns TIME magazine, amounts to a Koch Industries-funded takeover that has sent shockwaves through the journalistic world. Many still remember Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos’ purchase of The Washington Post some time ago. Both acquisitions — happening in an age when corporate mergers and consolidations are take place more often than usual — have prompted debates about objectivity and sponsorship, with many arguing that The Post’s quality has gone down since the Bezos purchase and that TIME’s will certainly do so as well.

'Hurtling' Republican Tax Bill Actually Serious By Michael Barone

House 2018: Less Than a Year Out, Race for Control Is a Coin Flip By Kyle Kondik
In the aftermath of the 2014 midterm election, when the party that didn’t hold the White House (the Republicans) gained ground in the House for the 36th time in 39 midterms since the Civil War, I wrote the following in the Center for Politics’ postmortem on the election, The Surge: Practically speaking, though, House Democrats might have to root for the other party in the 2016 presidential race.
