There was Robby Mook, Hillary Clinton's top campaign aide, known for his calm temperament and fiercely disciplined ways, and Jeff Weaver, a combative political fighter often called Bernie Sanders' alter ego, sharing a Friday night dinner in Burlington, Vermont. But over the long months of a frequently contentious primary, the two rival Democratic campaign managers struck up an unusually friendly relationship, founded on exhaustion, goofy jokes and a shared affection for their home state of Vermont.
TransCanada, the company behind the disputed Keystone XL pipeline project, has filed a formal request to sue the US government for damages. The pipeline, which was designed to carry oil from Canada to refineries in the US, was rejected by US President Barack Obama last November.

In mid-October 2011, Redflex gave Raphael a $20,000 "success fee," part of a series of payments that company officials later admitted were intended as bribes.
Watching the drama at Baylor University unfold, we have seen a lot of media-fueled hysteria followed by knee-jerk reactions with little careful thought and consideration.

That's not just true for the major party candidates. The Libertarian and Green party candidates have also weighed in, lending their support to the decision.
Like my colleague David Atkins, I think a Hillary Clinton-Elizabeth Warren ticket would be a strong one for the national Democratic Party; on MSNBC this morning, Joy Reid also noted Warren's merits as a running mate for Clinton. However, as a Massachusetts native, I cannot dismiss concerns that Warren's departure from the Senate upon becoming Vice President would quickly become a disaster for the state Democratic Party.

It was Trump's second political victory over Obama this week, coming on the heels of a Supreme Court decision that dealt a blow to the president's immigration actions. Trump's opposition to Obama's "executive amnesty" has been a cornerstone of his campaign.
Democrats approved a draft of the party platform early Saturday that includes steps to break up large Wall Street banks, advocates for a $15 an hour wage and urges the abolition of the death penalty, reflecting the influence of Bernie Sanders' presidential campaign.
