Former Connecticut U.S. Senator Joe Lieberman said as his days in Washington wound down, he could see a growing chasm between lawmakers and the people they're elected to govern.

Not since George and Martha in the play "Whose Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" or, for older readers, Don Ameche and Frances Langford in the radio comedy "The Bickersons," have we seen the kind of verbal pugilism practiced in Sunday night's presidential debate between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. Sunday night, Clinton recycled the familiar Democrat playbook that the wealthy aren't paying their "fair share" in taxes, when the real issue is that government already receives record amounts in tax money, but misspends much of it and never seems to have enough.
Donald Trump's campaign called Wednesday for Hillary Clinton to apologize and fire senior campaign officials involved in an email exchange that Republicans condemned as "breathtaking anti-Catholic bigotry."

The government ran a $587 billion budget deficit for the just-completed fiscal year, a 34 percent spike over last year after significant improvement from the record deficits of President Barack Obama 's first years in office.

The Treasury Department for the final time during President Barack Obama's tenure declined to label China a currency manipulator, in an implicit rejection of Republican nominee Donald Trump's hard-line approach to the world's second-biggest economy.

Hillary Clinton's campaign asked former President Bill Clinton to cancel a speech to a Wall Street investment firm last year because of concerns that the Clintons might appear to be too cozy with Wall Street just as the former secretary of state was about to announce her White House bid, newly released emails show. Clinton aides say in hacked emails released Friday by the anti-secrecy group WikiLeaks that Hillary Clinton did not want her husband to cancel the speech, but after a "cool down period" was eventually convinced that canceling was the right step.
Two more women came forward on Friday to accuse Donald Trump of unwanted sexual touching, including a former contestant from a reality show that starred the Republican presidential nominee.

US President Barack Obama warned Friday that American "democracy itself" is on the ballot in November's presidential election, as White House concern grows about the lasting impact of Republican Donald Trump's scorched-earth campaign.

Former U.S. intelligence officer Malcolm Nance said he has no doubt that Russia is behind the latest dump of emails from Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta.

House Speaker Paul Ryan, under siege from fellow Republicans for his unwillingness to help Donald Trump, accused Democrat Hillary Clinton and liberals on Friday of seeking to impose "a gloom and a greyness" on America and pursuing a government-heavy agenda for elites.

Republican U.S. Sen. Rob Portman says a video showing Donald Trump boasting about groping women was the last straw for him and why he pulled his endorsement.
