The U.S. is planning to cancel the Commerce Department’s contract with Icann, which could lead to authoritarian regimes censoring the global Internet.

  • Sanders Would Get Rid Of Wasserman-Schultz If He Were President
    The Sanders campaign and the DNC have not meshed during the 2016 primary cycle, to say the least. DNC chair Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz (FL) has spoken out numerous times against the Sanders campaign, as Sanders supporters accuse her and the DNC of Clinton favoritism.

  • Resistance From Key GOP Donors Over Donald Trump
    Much of the Republican establishment looks to be getting in line behind their nominee, Donald Trump, but a few strongholds are proving more difficult to convince.

  • Polls Improving For Trump Amid Democratic Infighting
    Donald Trump appears to be uniting the Republican party faster than most had expected, particularly given the infighting within the Democratic party.

This may upend previous assumptions that Democrats would coast through a general election.
  • Bernie Sanders Donors Are Violating Federal Limits
    Bernie Sanders has created an amazing movement behind his progressive campaign, largely funded by millions of small donors. It turns out that some of his supporters may be a bit too excited about his campaign and have been donating more than the $2,700 limit. For months, the FEC has been sending letters to the Sanders campaign saying that hundreds of donors have given more than the limit, the most recent notice flagged over 1,500 overzealous donors.
