House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) apparently wants struggling working-class Americans to stay poor, saying he is opposed to President Donald Trump’s proposed immigration cuts. Trump, along with Sens.

Special Counsel Robert Mueller has far outstripped the original parameters of his investigation and begun digging into President Donald Trump’s business dealings.

Defying expectations, beating forecasts, going from greatness to greatness.

Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper admitted on CNN that he has unmasked Americans during his time under the Obama administration, and defended doing so.

The Democratic Party’s attempt to pivot away from the fading Russia controversy, and move to an economic message as a way to reclaim their lost voters, has so far failed to drum up enthusiasm — even among Democrats.
