RNC backs out of fundraising agreement with Roy Moore

WASHINGTON (UPI) -- The Republican National Committee pulled out of a joint fundraising agreement with U.S. Senate candidate Roy Moore, of Alabama, on Tuesday.

Toomey made the remarks after The Washington Post last week reported Moore's alleged relationships with teenage girls while he was in his early 30s. Moore, now 70, has denied any […]

Austin Petersen, a longtime "small-l" libertarian, is in the running for the GOP nomination for U.S. Senate in Missouri in 2018.

Facebook release: We’re now requiring disclosures for political ads

MENLO PARK, Calif. (UPI) -- Facebook on Friday said it is going to start requiring buyers of political advertisements to verify their identities and disclose who paid for the ads.

Facebook, along with other […]
