Thursday, July 13, 2017Budowsky: What Trump must confess Trump should say, unconditionally and unequivocally, that American intelligence services are absolutely right and Russia has been attacking American and Western democracy. He should say that while America needs improved relations with Russia, economic sanctions must continue and be strengthened until Russian aggression ends.
Saturday, March 26, 2011The Al Gore Surge Gore is not the cause of the fierce attacks against progressive values or the stirrings of revival among the oft-maligned "progressive base." But he brings to the battle a powerful voice with a history of game-changing initiatives as congressman, senator, vice president, bestselling author, Academy Award winner, and Nobel laureate.
Friday, August 19, 2016"BernieCare" can save ObamaCare The Sanders response to Aetna is perfectly timed and politically powerful. The public option, which should have been enacted with the original ObamaCare program, would guarantee that every healthcare exchange will have at least one highly affordable choice for consumers to accept.
Sunday, May 20, 2018Obama should lift the Dems, now Obama is the only national Democrat who would galvanize an explosion of attention from the media and voters about what Democrats stand for, who Democrats fight for and how Democrats will make life better in a nation that hungers for not just attacks against Trump, but a compelling alternative to Trump.
Thursday, February 1, 2018Kennedy carries the torch Kennedy represents something exciting and powerful that is happening across America in response to Trump. There is a surge of enthusiasm and excitement among young Americans who will inherit the future, blacks who know their votes matter, Hispanics who will not relent in their quest to make their dreams come true and women who are surging to the forefront of national leadership.
Thursday, December 21, 20172018 battle cry for Dems It is a striking and historic blunder for Republicans to gamble their hopes for 2018 on three of the most unpopular measures in modern political history on health care, taxes and net neutrality. It is equally striking that with markets soaring and the economy appearing to hum along strongly, neither Trump nor Republicans in Congress have reaped any political benefit and remain highly unpopular today.
Wednesday, October 27, 2010Russ Feingold: The Conscience of the Senate Our democratic institutions are being obliterated by a surreptitious, evil avalanche of corporate cash targeting our most principled politicians.
Friday, November 13, 2009Ron Paul is right: Audit the Federal Reserve Bailout Money Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein's obscenely cynical comment that he's just “"doing God's work†should be reason enough to support Ron Paul's efforts to audit the Federal Reserve.
Saturday, June 29, 2019Budowsky: Democrats will end Trump's migrant child abuse If statues could cry, there would be oceans of tears flowing down the cheeks of Lady Liberty in New York harbor for the planned, organized, immoral, incompetent, shameful and un-American abuse of migrant children that is being executed by President Trump who insults even his own base by suggesting this is an evil they favor.
Friday, April 20, 2018When Barbara Bush praised Bill Clinton, and Clinton praised the man she loved As Barbara Bush is laid to rest, surrounded by a loving family and grateful nation, many words of affection and respect will be spoken of her. All of those words will be said with sincerity and admiration for who she was, all she did and the American spirit she embodied so gracefully.
Sunday, November 5, 2006Bush Has Secret Plans For Surprise Forced Call Up of National Guard and Reserves It is shameful and wrong to have these abuses of troop rotations and these endless policy changes of involuntary recalls which are kept secret from the people, and forced by the failures of the policy.
Saturday, December 20, 2008On Obama: What Cable-Television Democrats Don't Tell You Many of the cable-television Democrats are smirking, chortling and smiling as they say how clever it was for Barack Obama to name Rick Warren to give the Inaugural invocation because they believe, falsely, that this will create some real good will for Obama that will ultimately help him. I believe: It won't matter any more than naming Bob Gates will help Obama with Republicans, unless Obama adopts Bush-like policies on Iraq.
Thursday, July 26, 2018In 2018, women say no to Trump 2018 will be the year when women say no to Donald Trump. They will demand our country be governed like the great American family we are. They will make their stand and stake their claim to take back America from Trump. These women will vote. These women will win.
Thursday, January 18, 2018Budowsky: Mega-landslide for Dems? Republican leaders have made the Faustian bargain of binding their party in Congress to Trump. They are locked into Trump's unpopularity, aligned with Trump's behavior and tying their political fate to Trump's unpopularity. They are branding themselves as Trump Republicans, which is political poison for nearly 60 percent of the nation.
Thursday, November 2, 2017Brent Budowsky: Marie Antoinette tax cuts A tax bill that raises the federal deficit by more than a trillion dollars, increases taxes on many middle-class citizens by attacking popular deductions and lowers taxes on the wealthy. History teaches that someone will ultimately pay the tab, and endure the pain, and it will ultimately be middle-income and poor Americans.
Wednesday, June 13, 2018John McCain's timeless truths When considering the life and works of Kennedy, Hemingway and McCain, it is right and fitting to use the word "timeless." Some values and visions transcend time. In our times, John McCain embodies many of them including notions of duty, honor, country, courage and integrity in all endeavors of life.
Wednesday, January 27, 2016Why Dems pray for a Trump or Cruz win From Democratic establishment insiders who support Hillary Clinton to populist insurgents who support Bernie Sanders, there is a virtually unanimous view that Trump or Cruz would lead the GOP to a defeat so devastating Democrats would probably regain control of the Senate and have a fighting chance to take back the House.
Friday, July 6, 2018George Will, Joe Scarborough lead midterm exodus from GOP Something is happening in America that is large and profound. If Donald Trump is America's first post-truth president, George Will, Joe Scarborough, Max Boot, Steve Schmidt, Pete Wehner and other legitimate conservatives are leading a growing wave of post-partisan conservatives who are rejecting the GOP of Donald Trump.
