The strange ordeal for Abigail Spanberger, now a Democratic House candidate, began when U.S. Postal Service employees wrongly delivered her confidential personnel file to Republican operatives.

Congressman Leonard Lance voted last December with the interests of his northern New Jersey district in mind when he opposed his own party's sweeping tax overhaul.

European Union regulators said Wednesday that McDonald's Corp.'s tax arrangement in Luxembourg is legal, dropping an investigation against the U.S. fast-food giant while lauding efforts to close tax loopholes in the probe's wake. The closure contrasts with a slew of fines and tax bills slapped on other American companies, particularly tech giants.
MONA WILLIAMS' ASSERTION that the 25th Amendment should be invoked to remove President Trump from office is dangerous and representative of how the progressive left has been rendered mentally unstable by his successful presidency and the subsequent destruction of Barack Obama's stagnant, debt-ridden, race-baiting legacy. The president is clearly able "to discharge the powers and duties of his office," and in doing so has restored economic growth by trusting the people to keep more of their money, restored a semblance of law and order at the southern border, negotiated fair trade deals with foreign powers, crushed ISIS, neutered Assad and Putin, and brought the hope of peace to the Korean Peninsula and the world.

Democrats on the committee struggled desperately to condemn the process and portray the nominee as evil incarnate, while Republicans slow-pitched softballs to a nominee capable of hitting intellectual curveballs out of the park.

Interpretation of the news based on evidence, including data, as well as anticipating how events might unfold based on past events If there is one reason Senate Republicans decide to keep Brett Kavanaugh's Supreme Court nomination on track despite a credible, on-the-record allegation of sexual assault when he was in high school, it's this: the clock. Specifically, the countdown clock until Election Day in November, when Republicans' majorities in both the House of Representatives and the Senate could be in peril.
