House Republicans were meeting behind closed doors Wednesday to hash out strategy on those and other issues.
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.
The Republican presidential nominee attacked Hillary Clinton as he courted veterans Tuesday in Virginia Beach, Virginia. He referenced Clinton and President Barack Obama's policies, saying, "You have illegal immigrants that she wants and he wants treated better than veterans."
Hillary Clinton is blasting Donald Trump for saying that he would have left a G-20 summit in China after a logistical flap over the staircase that President Barack Obama used to depart Air Force One.

In the latest bizarre shift of his campaign strategy, Donald Trump has recently sought to portray himself as a champion of African Americans and Latinos. Mr. Trump began his awkward appeals at a campaign rally in Wisconsin recently, where he asked "for the vote of every African American citizen struggling in our country today."
Reid and his caucus already nuked part of it in 2013, eliminating filibusters on presidential appointments . The 60-vote requirement remains in place for SCOTUS nominations and of course for regular legislation.
Fervently declaring "we will build a great wall along the southern border," Trump kicked off his immigration speech Wednesday in Arizona during which he his plan which continues to ignore the complexities currently facing the U.S. immigration system. Among a litany of unrealistic proposals, Trump called for the deportation of students, even though DACA recipients are currently protected from deportation under President Obama's 2014 executive actions on immigration.
Money matters in politics, and Kenosha County residents are part of the process, donating $1.2 million to federal candidates and political action committees since the start of the current two-year election cycle.

Ted Cruz's presidential bid.
