no, this is wrong. the government should not be spending so much time tracking us. its fascist. The more we give our liberties away to the government, the more they are going to try and take. with how much peoples personal lives are wrapped up in electronics, it is imperative that we retain our rights. its just a invasion of privacy. either way, with the economy issue i think the last thing we should be wasting money on is recording where the johnson family went for vacation.

This is unethical. I don't want a "1984" by George Orwell to happen

"Here's a quick Q&A to get you caught up on what happened on Monday and what to expect going forward."

The way the U.S. is taking this really shows how much we rely on our government, and how much people take for granted in our every day lives. I'm surprised that there haven't been any major riots because of all the effects this could have if this shutdown continues.

I thought that this was interesting, because of how Trump is trying help Iran.

I think that the people who were doing this deserve to go to jail. The United States is a mess right now and things need to calm down. People thinking that they are going to overthrow the state government need to be put in jail. This type of stuff is just going to make the situations in America even worse.

I think this is extremely dangerous and that the people who were plotting this deserve jail time. Just because you may disagree with someone's political views doesn't mean that you should wish harm upon them. People need to learn when too far is too far and learn how to respectfully disagree.

I think that if you try to kidnap anyone especially someone who is a government official they should face repercussions and go to jail.

Less than two weeks after Barack Obama won his re-election campaign, protesters gathered Sunday to call on the president and his administration to reject the proposed Keystone XL tar sands pipeline, and to act on climate change.

as long as the pipe doesn't contaminate any water supplies I don't see a problem with it

I find that there are two different sides to this story and for the most part both is good but one is better. The global temperature will be constantly going up no matter how green and organic America will be. There are other countries that are not able to contribute to going green. I find that the Keystone pipeline would be a good mission to strive for because of the state of America. We are not going to be the top of the line forever and maybe just maybe this project will keep us on the top longer.

Washington (CNN) -- Inside an ordinary office building six blocks from the Capitol, investigators sift through evidence of possible violations against ethics and laws committed by the nation's elected representatives. This is the Office of Congressional Ethics, also known as the OCE. It is one of the most important watchdogs in Washington.

if the people who are being investigated are trying to stop the investigators then their is most likely some corruption happening in congress

A top Republican senator used the terror bombings in Boston to raise new questions on Friday about a bipartisan comprehensive immigration reform bill, legislation that now faces growing questions from conservative critics.

Is it appropriate for the Legislator to "punish" the Judicial, or even the Executive, branch because of a disagreement in what is right or wrong? Is it appropriate to target only specific justices instead of applying the salary cut to all of the justices? I wonder if some of the legislators are holding on to this issue for longer than needed? The Varnum v. Brien decision was over four years ago, yet legislators are still trying to "punish" the justices for that decision.

President Barack Obama rode a wave of broad support from minorities, women and moderates to win re-election Tuesday by defeating Republican challenger Mitt Romney in Democratic strongholds and key battleground states.

Sasse, the freshman Republican, has emerged as one of Trump's foremost critics from the right. Romney and Sasse have talked, the source said, and Romney encouraged Sasse to seriously consider a run. But Sasse is refusing to enter the race. "We will decline to comment on the senator's conversations," Sasse spokesman James Wegmann said.

Clinton going against her statements from previous campaigns yet again when she refused, also again, to debate with Democratic rival Bernie Sanders.

She blew Sanders off and said some mean stuff about Trump.

Clinton is a savage

I think any president makes promises they can't keep, but that's part of getting elected. At least other presidents have made realistic promises, but I think Trump's promises during his campaign were just fabricated lies to get people to vote for him. How dull can voters be if they think this man would actually build a giant wall between America and Mexico and make them pay for it?

After House Speaker Paul Ryan officially swore in the 115th Congress Tuesday, he began an hours-long photo op with members and their families. Newly-minted Rep. Roger Marshall, a Kansas Republican, got more than he bargained for in his photo.

With the Democratic presidential primary in its twilight, frustration within the ranks over the party's handling of the primary process spilled out this week as Bernie Sanders supporters lashed out at party leaders, arguing that their candidate has been treated unfairly.

On the morning after, one thing is clear: the Republican party is at a crossroads Many party leaders and establishment Republicans see two paths ahead. One is to accept what appears to be the increasingly likely outcome in the 2016 race - that Trump will soon clinch the GOP nomination - and offer the New York businessman their blessing.

Hillary Clinton is refusing to debate Bernie Sanders in the state that elected her to two U.S. Senate terms unless Sanders essentially silences himself. After his clean sweep of caucuses in Washington, Alaska, and Hawaii, Sen. Sanders challenged the former U.S.

Join us for live updates on the five states voting on Tuesday. Donald J. Trump won the primary elections in Connecticut, Maryland and Pennsylvania on Tuesday, according to The Associated Press, padding his delegate lead and increasing his chances of securing the Republican nomination before the party's convention in July.
