Congress's last chance to tell Americans - in a bipartisan way - how Russia interfered in the 2016 election rests with 15 senators who meet twice a week behind closed doors. The Senate Intelligence Committee has become a rare symbol of unity on the divisive issue of Russia's role in the presidential race - quite a feat for a panel with members ranging from conservative Trump ally Tom Cotton, R-Ark., to liberal Trump critic Kamala Harris, D-Calif.

Kim Kardashian West is reportedly planning to meet with President Donald Trump to discuss her quest to free great-grandmother Alice Marie Johnson from prison. The 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' star has been trying to find a way to get Alice - who was sentenced to life in prison without parole in 1997 on money laundering and drug conspiracy charges - released from behind bars since last year with the help her of her lawyer Shawn Holley and now she's hoping to get the president on board.
I fell in love with the wide-open West during a cross-country drive that followed what's left of Route 66, starting in over-governed Boston, ending in overcrowded Los Angeles, and traversing the wonderful places in between. I remember looking down crumbling strips of pavement, across the empty desert, up at the brightly speckled night sky, and thinking, "Hot damn.

President Donald Trump on Tuesday accused House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi of being an "MS-13 lover" and dismissed a Democratic Senate candidate as a "tool" of Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, a line of attack likely to become familiar as he boosts Republican congressional candidates ahead of midterm elections. Trump's visit to Nashville, Tennessee, promoted the Senate candidacy of Rep. Marsha Blackburn, who was expected to face former Gov. Phil Bredesen in the race to replace retiring Republican Sen. Bob Corker.

Hours after saying she was leaving Twitter, Barr returned to the social media platform to share posts both supporting her comments made about former Barack Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett and praising American television network ABC's decision to cancel her show Roseanne.
China must address its failure to protect US intellectual property, but these tariffs are not an effective response because it will harm American jobs and consumers, said Erik Paulsen, Joint Economic Committee Chairman Congressman.

With a tantalizing tweet, President Donald Trump seemed to tease a positive jobs report on Friday, a protocol-defying step that moved markets and raised questions about the appropriateness of the president publicly hinting at information that could make or lose fortunes. Treasury yields jumped and the value of the dollar increased within seconds of Trump's 7:21 a.m. tweet that said he was "looking forward to seeing the employment numbers at 8:30 this morning," suggesting that traders likely were making investment decisions based on what they extrapolated from Trump's post.
