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.

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...

Senators urge Opill birth control maker to set affordable retail price

A group of Democratic senators on Friday urged the manufacturer of the first over-the-counter birth control pill available in the U.S. to set an affordable retail price and begin “broad distribution” as soon as possible.

Christie: Trump has ‘proven he didn’t know how to get things done’

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) argued against a second term for former President Trump on Tuesday, saying his rival for the Republican nomination has “proven he didn’t know how to get things done” as president.

“The Trump agenda is not worth anything to Republicans if Trump’s the one trying to execute it because he’s proven he didn’t know how to get things done,” Christie said on CNN.

More than a third of rural Americans skip needed care because of cost: study 

More than one third of Americans living in rural areas skipped medical care they needed due to the costs, according to a new study.

Less than 10 percent of rural residents in the United Kingdom, Norway and Sweden reported t...
