Hillary Clinton's campaign was premised in large measure on taxing the wealthy to pay for federally subsidized child care, free college and other new entitlements. She reasoned rising inequality deprived the economy of consumer spending that could instigate more hiring and better wages.
The U.S. State Department on Tuesday placed China on its global list of the worst offenders in human trafficking and forced labor, a step that could aggravate tensions with Beijing that had eased under President Donald Trump. Trump, however, has grown increasingly frustrated over China's inaction on North Korea and bilateral trade issues and is considering possible trade actions against Beijing, three senior administration officials told Reuters.
Senate Republican leaders have shelved a vote on their prized healthcare bill until at least next month, forced to retreat by a rebellion that left them lacking enough votes to even begin a debate.

With the Supreme Court having both lifted many of the injunctions on President Donald Trump's controversial travel ban and scheduled an October hearing for the case, there's one key question that, once answered, will have a profound effect on just how much litigation will surround the policy moving forward. That question is whether or not Trump decides to make the ban permanent, create new vetting procedures moving forward, let the executive order simply expire, or ask for additional time.
"I feel like we sort of choked." That is the killer quote in an extraordinary Washington Post investigation into how Barack Obama responded to intelligence last year that Russia was running a sophisticated influence operation against the 2016 elections.

House Republicans are putting the final touches on a bold budget proposal they will roll out later this week that would boost military spending beyond what President Donald Trump wants and slash billions from welfare and other entitlement programs. Threading the needle of getting defense hawks, fiscal conservatives and those steering tax reform within his own party has been a difficult task, but House Speaker Paul Ryan has reminded House GOP members that this year's budget is critical for getting top priorities like tax reform through both chambers.
The world has little confidence in US President Donald Trump compared to his predecessor Barack Obama, according to a new report by Pew Research. A survey of residents in 37 nations across the world released on Tuesday found that since Trump took office in January, the US's image overseas has sharply declined and views of the new US leader in general are largely negative.

President Donald Trump's favor with other nations seems to have fallen in recent weeks, particularly when it's matched against that of Barack Obama, a new poll finds . Who really cares what other nations - what other socialist, progressive, left-leaning nations - think of Trump and his ability to lead? "Trump and many of his key policies are broadly unpopular around the globe, and ratings or the U.S. have declined steeply in many nations," Pew Research Center's new survey found.
The following is the text of two letters written by lawyers for President Donald Trump regarding former FBI Director James Comey. One was sent to special counsel Robert Mueller, and the other was sent to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.
The White House has warned Syrian President Bashar al-Assad that he and his military would "pay a heavy price" if it conducted a chemical weapons attack and said the United States had reason to believe such preparations were underway. The White House said in a statement released late on Monday the preparations by Syria were similar to those undertaken before an April 4 chemical attack that killed dozens of civilians and prompted US President Donald Trump to order a cruise missile strike on a Syrian air base.
The US Supreme Court on Monday partially reinstated Donald Trump's controversial travel ban targeting citizens from six predominantly Muslim countries, prompting the president to claim a victory for national security. The nine justices, who will hear arguments in the case in October, said the ban could now be enforced for travelers from the targeted countries "who lack any bona fide relationship with a person or entity in the United States."
Howard Jacobson, in his June 24 New York Times op-ed piece, "Why We Must Mock Trump," began by referring to the anti-Trump production of Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar" in New York's Central Park, as proof "that plays retain the power to shock and enrage." Do productions of "Julius Caesar," played straight, generally "shock and enrage"? I don't think so.
Despite campaign promises from then candidate Donald Trump as well as from incumbent and new members of Congress to repeal and replace Obamacare, now almost six months into the Trump presidency, Obamacare is still the law of the land. Progress, albeit slow, was apparent this week as the Senate passed their version of a replacement, following the House doing the same two months ago.
