No point at all: Please just end the daily White House press briefing

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has demonstrated once again why it's time to do away with the insulting spectacle known as the White House daily press briefing.

Rather than serve the public interest, the daily briefing has become a venue for White House propaganda. It has also become a springboard for shrewd, self-serving reporters who see the James S. Brady Press Briefing Room as a shortcut to easy notoriety. It has been this way for many years. It is...

Is Bernie Sanders the new healthcare pragmatist?

It is hard to find someone I agree with less than Bernie Sanders, particularly in my own area of healthcare. But increasingly, I find myself agreeing with him on significant healthcare issues.

Is Bernie Sanders becoming the ultimate healthcare pragmatist — wanting good progress even as his deepest healthcare desires do not seem achievable?

Things seem to be pointing this way, especially with his recent announcement regarding the need to tackle the primary care cris...

Feehery: 5 ways Democrats can beat Trump 

It now looks inevitable that Donald Trump will be reelected to the White House, mostly because the Democrats have done a terrible job of running against him. 

I would prefer Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) over Trump because he is more conservative. But in a match-up against President Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, California Gov. Gavin Newsom or just about any other Democrat, I would vote for Trump. 

Dysfunctional capitalists are better than fully functio...

Third-party presidential candidates who changed American history

Democrats are very worried that a third-party presidential candidate backed by the group No Labels could cost Joe Biden the 2024 presidential election — handing victory to the Republican candidate, possibly former President Donald Trump. Democrats are right to be worried … but Republicans should be worried too.

Although third-party candidates are fairly common in U.S. presidential elections — as well as other federal and state elections — they seldom have much of an effect on ...

Direct e-file won’t make filing taxes any easier — but it could make things worse

As the Internal Revenue Service contends with a cut of over $21 billion in the debt-ceiling deal, it should focus on cost-efficient ways to maintain and improve our vital taxation system. It should not spend billions to replace vital processes already in existence with a direct e-file system that would compromise a significant portion of taxpayer personal privacy.

The U.S. tax code for individuals may be the most complicated system in the world. Many have long advocated for si...

Biden wants to torpedo short-term health insurance

While campaigning for the presidency in 2019, Joe Biden assured voters that he would not eliminate private health insurance plans. He even told an audience in Iowa, “If you have private insurance, you can keep it” a risky echo of President Barack Obama's 2013 "Lie of the Year."

But over the Independence Day weekend, the Biden administration announced a new rule that would severely restrict Americans from purchasing short-term, limited-duration insurance...
