The Government Accountability Office said Tuesday it believed the Obama administration's proposed giveaway of the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority could safely move forward without congressional approval, and said the United States essentially gave up ownership of the Internet years ago. Members of Congress had asked the GAO to assess whether IANA constituted property of the federal government, which would require congressional approval to transfer under Article IV of the Constitution.
Veterans service organizations are pressuring lawmakers working on the National Defense Authorization Bill to include an amendment protecting servicemembers with mental illness from less-than-honorable discharges.

Idiots on the internet have solved all of the mysteries lingering from Hillary Clinton's health scare: She has a body double, of course.

U.S. Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump on Tuesday will propose allowing families to deduct the cost of childcare expenses from income taxes, his campaign said, a move aimed at bolstering his support among women voters.

In an interview with Anderson Cooper, Hillary Clinton said she told others at Sunday's 9/11 memorial, including Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., that she was ill but didn't make a public statement because "I just didn't think it was going to be that big a deal." After she became ill at the event, her campaign disclosed her recent pneumonia diagnosis and said she was being treated with antibiotics.
Republican donors worried Donald Trump's campaign is putting the House of Representatives in play are writing checks to the super PAC aligned with House Speaker Paul Ryan, fueling a record-breaking haul this cycle.

Donald Trump criticized Hillary Clinton for her characterization that half of his supporters belonged in "a basket of deplorables," denouncing the comment as "an explicit attack on the American voter" and suggesting that it makes her unfit for the presidency. No stranger to making his own sweeping negative characterizations of large groups of people, Trump nonetheless deployed the remark Monday as the foundation for a new campaign theme.
When Hillary Clinton was diagnosed with pneumonia late last week, she informed a handful of her closest advisers, but pressed on with a busy campaign schedule and did not inform the public that she was sick. "I just didn't think it was going to be that big a deal," she said.
Donald Trump hasn't let many insults slide this campaign season - except when they come from Hillary Clinton's running mate. The Republican presidential nominee has all but ignored the constant barrage of attacks from Virginia Sen.

House Republicans are keeping up their attacks on former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's emails by calling for testimony the tech expert who set up her private server and representatives from the company that maintained the system. Bryan Pagliano, a former information resource management adviser at the State Department , is scheduled to appear Tuesday at a hearing before the Oversight and Government Reform Committee.
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton waves after leaving an apartment building Sunday, Sept. 11, 2016, in New York. Clinton's campaign said the Democratic presidential nominee left the 9/11 anniversary ceremony in New York early after feeling "overheated."
The personal cell phone number of Vice Presidential candidate Tim Kaine appears to have been released in the latest dump of files tied to the DNC hack.

She said in the text late Monday that "Like anyone who's ever been home sick from work, I'm just anxious to get back out there." It came a day after Clinton abruptly left this year's 9/11 memorial ceremony and stumbled while she was waiting for her motorcade.
A new Iowa-based poll on the state's U.S. Senate race shows Republican incumbent Chuck Grassley with a bigger lead over Democratic challenger Patty Judge than most other recent polls have found.
If you are one of the many military veterans, police officers, or legal gun owners who support Donald Trump for president, Hillary Clinton may call you something else: "deplorable." In one of the most stupid political comments in a political season in which ignorant comments seem to know no bounds, the Democratic nominee shot her own campaign in the foot when she shot off her mouth before introducing Barbra Streisand at an LGBT fundraiser in New York: "To just be grossly generalistic, you can put half of Trump supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables," Mrs. Clinton said.
