Beating the odds: Manufacturing training opens doors for those with criminal records

Chicago's West Side neighborhoods are not only devastated with crime, the aftermath of illegal activity has taken a severe toll on the community's productivity.

Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz endorses Hillary Clinton

Schultz is one of the country's most politically outspoken chief executives, but until now he had not taken sides in the 2016 race between Democrat Clinton and Republican nominee Donald Trump.

Stalemate on debates shadows California US Senate contest

The two Democrats seeking the seat - state Attorney General Kamala Harris and U.S. Rep. Loretta Sanchez - have been unable to agree how many there should be, or when and where to hold them. On Tuesday, Sanchez proposed a series of four debates, after Harris earlier agreed to two, one in Sacramento and one in Los Angeles.

Haredim look to Trump as a pro-Israel, traditionalist tough guy – emphasis on ‘guy’

American Jews are likely to vote for Hillary Clinton in November, but American Jewry's fastest-growing community is likely to go the other way. A solid majority of ultra-Orthodox Jews will vote for Donald Trump, say experts and Republican operatives in the Haredi enclave of Borough Park, Brooklyn.

Congress Fails to Pass $1.1 Billion Zika Funding Package

Lawmakers returning to Washington after a seven-week break picked up right where they left off - feuding about legislation to battle the mosquito-borne Zika virus and deadlocked over the defense budget. A tightening presidential race and pitched warfare for control of the Senate this November promise to overshadow whatever Congress accomplishes in an election-shortened September session - which, for now, looks like little more than a temporary government-wide spending bill to prevent a shutdown at month's end, possibly linked to money to battle Zika.

House Republicans seek inquiry on whether Clinton obstructed justice over e-mails

House Republicans asked the Justice Department on Tuesday to investigate whether Hillary Clinton, her lawyers, and the company that housed her e-mail account obstructed justice when e-mails were deleted from her personal server. Representative Jason Chaffetz of Utah, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, said the e-mails should not have been deleted because there were orders in place at the time from two congressional committees to preserve messages on the account.

Trump-Bondi creeps into the New York Times. Barely.

Donald Trump is the Republican nominee, which is frightening.We must make sure his hateful rhetoric does not even come close... Donald Trump has gone too far with his attacks on Gold Star parents Khizr and Ghazala Khan, whose son Army Capt. Humayun Khan... A Donald Trump White House would be a disaster, and this goes way beyond any ideological difference.

Washington farms irked at border manure

Whatcom County farmers are asking their governor to lobby B.C. to crack down on farm waste flowing south from Fraser Valley agricultural lands near Zero Avenue and fouling cross-border fish-bearing streams. State farmers say they are doing their part, with stream improvements and state legislation designed to control manure run-off from dairy farms, but say enforcement remains lax at best on the B.C. side of the border.
