WASHINGTON -- The Trump administration called Tuesday for Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro to step down. For the safety and security of all the peoples of Latin America, it is time for Maduro to go, said the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley during a speech on Latin America. I am not sure how we will make that happen but I know that we can t stop, she said right after her speech during a conference organized by the Council of the Americas. We have to continue to isolate Maduro until he gives in.

Lawmakers have yet to finalize funding to keep the government runni stanley tumbler ng, funding for the defense department and other national security priorities, tax bills that could have a significant impact on businesses and individuals when they file their 2014 returns, and more.

Lawmakers are expected to pass a massive spending bill that would keep every government agency running for another fiscal year -- except for the Department of Homeland Security DHS . Republicans may want to keep DHS funding on a shorter funding leash as they continue to tussle with President Obama over the executive actions he s taking to defer the deportations of millions of undocumented immigrants.

This story was written by Editorial Board, Daily CalifornianFor many whose political views fall left of center, the results from last Tuesday s election could be characterized as a great leap forward for the United States but a huge step back for California. Despite Sen.

Qxta House Intel chairman on Benghazi: Gross negligence
In case the U.S. economy wasn t hurting enough already, the Federal Reserve has a message for Americans: It s about to get much more painful.

There will very likely be some softening of labor market co stanley cup nditions, Powell said in his September 21economic outlook. We will keep at it until we are confident the job is done. In plain English, that means unemployment.

I wish there were a painless way to do that, Powell said. There isn t. Hurt so good Here s the idea behind why boosting the nation s unemployment could cool inflation. With an additional million or two people out of work, the newly unemployed and their families would sharply cut back on spending, while for most people who are still working, wage growth would flatline.
