Posted by: Donna Brazile | Posted on: 01-15-2015 | Posted in: News

I was deeply moved when the French Parliament, after observing a minute of silence for those slain in the Charlie Hebdo attacks, spontaneously broke into singing France’s national anthem. It was the first time that had happened since 1918. The Parliament immediately got down to work, and despite party differences as sharp as those that […]

The Way It (Still) Is 0

The 114th Congress convened this week with unified Republican control. Republicans broke the record of the 71st Congress (1929-30) by one seat, and will have 247 members in the House of Representatives. They now control 57 percent of the House and 54 percent of the Senate. The 2014 midterms saw the poorest turnout of voters […]

Selma, the movie and the message 0

Posted by: Donna Brazile | Posted on: 01-8-2015 | Posted in: News

“Selma,” the new feature film about the civil rights struggle, is igniting a struggle of its own over who deserves credit — or blame — in the events of 50 years ago that are depicted in the movie. Some have taken issue with the portrayal of President Lyndon B. Johnson. Former LBJ administration officials are […]

Scalise speech to hate group more than a mistake 0

Posted by: Donna Brazile | Posted on: 01-3-2015 | Posted in: News

I grew up near the same tree-moss-draped area of Louisiana where U.S. Rep. Steve Scalise met with followers of David Duke, the Klu Klux Klan leader who in the ’90s ran for governor and senator in my beloved state. All my values were forged in Louisiana. Values like family, faith, community and the desire to […]

2015: A Look Ahead 0

Posted by: Donna Brazile | Posted on: 12-30-2014 | Posted in: News

Ahhhh … 2015. Nobody knows for certain what the new year will hold. That’s probably for the best — if we did know what was going to happen this year, we might be less inclined to even follow through on all those resolutions we’ve made. Like you, I too just have to be patient and […]

2014: The Good News! 0

Posted by: Donna Brazile | Posted on: 12-23-2014 | Posted in: News

With the new year approaching, everyone is taking a look back at 2014. What they’re seeing isn’t always pretty, but the truth is that there was plenty of good news in the past 12 months that should be appreciated. So let’s take one more look back at 2014, but this time through slightly rose-colored glasses. […]

Get off the sideline: The best way to honor slain schoolchildren 0

Posted by: Donna Brazile | Posted on: 12-19-2014 | Posted in: News

When I saw these words on Twitter, I couldn’t help but put down my tablet: “They say the smallest coffins are the heaviest to carry.” They weigh heaviest upon the heart. First the Sydney attack Monday, then all too soon there came the school killings Tuesday — 145 people, 132 of them children — in […]

Lame Duck Ends on a Wing and a Prayer 0

Posted by: Donna Brazile | Posted on: 12-18-2014 | Posted in: News

The “lame duck” Congress limped to an end and was able, despite gridlock, to make some accomplishments. For the record, this was the 113th elected Congress. Historians have already labeled it the “least productive” Congress in decades. NBC researchers found only 203 bills became law, down from the previously least productive 112th Congress, which enacted […]

In a March 2014 letter to CIA Director John Brennan, Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) wrote, ” … on only his third day in office, President Obama issued Executive Order 13491 ending the use of abusive interrogation techniques. On Dec. 9, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), in a speech on the Senate floor on the newly released […]

Posted by: Donna Brazile | Posted on: 12-4-2014 | Posted in: News

Civil rights leaders, led by Marc Morial of the National Urban League, met in New York City on Dec. 4 to discuss steps that should be taken to help rebuild trust between law enforcement officials and the citizens they are sworn to protect. The leaders promised to hold a march on Dec. 13 in Washington, […]
