Readers will know the background already: Elizabeth Warren claimed to be Native American while she was a law professor at Harvard despite (a) appearing about as Anglo-white as one can appear and (b) having scant evidence that her claim of Native American heritage was true. She cited family lore…

You have to understand the climate at Harvard at the time.

In its latest chapter, Elizabeth Warren and Donald Trump only pile on.

Hosted by Charlie Sykes.

Not much about genealogy, alas. But we do see what effect Donald Trump has on his opponents.

Just look at all the power she wants to give the executive branch in the legislation she pushes in Congress.

She’s running for president and wants to get the Native American thing behind her. Good luck.

The senator's Accountable Capitalism Act is economically questionable, and the latest example of a policy platform that amounts to a host of strictures, regulations, and oversights by the state.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who famously and without evidence claimed Native American ancestry and thus minority status in her pre-Senate days—and whom Donald Trump still calls “Pocahontas”—now wants badly to put the whole controversy to rest. Who wouldn’t? Our advice would be to ignore the past and…

The Trump era has been tough on Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), and no one has been tougher on her than President Trump himself, with his references to her as “Pocahontas.”

Republicans’ first victory of 2018 will likely be Judge Timothy J. Kelly’s denial of the plaintiff’s motion for a preliminary injunction in English v. Trump following a hearing on the Friday before Christmas.

If we’ve learned anything over the past year, it’s that the Republican party, even when handed full control of the American government, is so riven and otherwise dysfunctional that it simply can’t govern. The one consolation Republicans have is that voters seem to intuitively understand that while…

This year’s strangest political story may be Elizabeth Warren’s attempted coup of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the federal agency created by the 2010 Dodd-Frank Act.

The president’s crack Monday afternoon about “Pocahontas”—aka Massachusetts senator Elizabeth Warren—was classic Donald Trump.

Everyone has their two cents about how to talk politics, or not talk politics, or how silly we’ve become for talking about politics, at Thanksgiving. We suggest looking forward instead of dwelling on the miserable present: It’s never too early to speculate about who’ll jump into the next…

"Do we want Iran to have a nuclear weapon or not?" asks Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) in a video making its way around the Internet. “The answer? No. So why is President Trump trying to make it easier for Iran to get a nuclear weapon?”

"Do we want Iran to have a nuclear weapon or not?" asks Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) in a video making its way around the Internet. “The answer? No. So why is President Trump trying to make it easier for Iran to get a nuclear weapon?”

For several months, the worst-kept secret in Washington has been that Richard Cordray, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s first director, will resign and enter the 2018 Ohio governor’s race. The best-kept secret may be that Cordray decided not to resign the day Donald Trump was elected, and…

If Richard Cordray runs for governor of Ohio, he would be the only Democratic candidate with a national fundraising base, the potential to send the progressive grassroots into hyperdrive and the only Democratic candidate that has already twice won statewide races.

Data is the best. Or data are the best. Whatever. Everyone agrees that in politics, as in baseball, you can’t trust your own lying eyes. You have to look at the data.

In the heart of Wall Street, a new statue is causing quite a kerfuffle. Sponsored by State Street Global Advisors, one of the world’s largest asset-management firms, the "Fearless Girl" was installed earlier this year to stand in front of the famous "Charging Bull" in Bowling Green Park, just a…

Massachusetts Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren voiced her opinion on the controversy behind conservative pundit Ann Coulter's visit to the University of California, Berkeley.

Sometimes you hear that thriving businesses are capitalist enterprises that relish competing and winning.

On a Capitol Hill morning otherwise dominated by Gorsuch hearings, the deafening drip of surveillance revelations, and a possible health care upset, one much quieter event might have presaged what normalcy may, one hopes, come. Alexander Acosta, Labor secretary-designate number two, answered…

It’s a website: "Help us elect Elizabeth Warren for president in 2020."

The WEEKLY STANDARD Podcast with deputy online editor Chris Deaton on why Republicans are speaking out when they don't need to.

If this was 1920, and Sen. Henry Cabot Lodge had disciplined his fellow Bay Stater for impugning the integrity of a colleague, we might have fairly said Elizabeth Warren was silenced on Tuesday night. Lacking an instantaneously publishing Internet and 'round-the-clock cable news, she would have…

For the remainder of Tuesday night and for most of Wednesday, Massachusetts senator Elizabeth Warren is prohibited from debating on the floor of the Senate. That's because her Senate colleagues found her guilty of impugning another senator, Jeff Sessions, whose nomination for attorney general is…

Elizabeth Warren, the Democratic senator from Massachusetts, apppears to have launched a fact-free attack on a Democratic ally. Andrew Ross Sorkin of the New York Times has the story:

New Hampshire Republican Kelly Ayotte shot back at Massachusetts Democrat Elizabeth Warren Wednesday, after Warren reiterated Donald Trump's charge that Ayotte was "weak" during a rally in New Hampshire Monday.

When you buy a shirt and the shopkeeper tries to sell you a necktie, that's cross-selling. When you pick up your to-eat-at-the-desk sandwich and the guy at the register persuades you that you need some potato chips, that's cross-selling. When thousands of Wells Fargo employees respond to pressure…

Recent news that Wells Fargo employees had opened as many as two million unauthorized customer bank and credit card accounts since 2011 was shocking. The bank fired 5,300 workers and agreed to pay $185 million in fines to the Los Angeles City Attorney, the Comptroller of the Currency, and the…

"Democrats believe that we need to give Americans affordable banking options, including by empowering the United States Postal Service to facilitate the delivery of basic banking services." That's a statement on page twelve of the 2016 Democratic party platform. At first I thought it was a joke—a…

We can pretend that Hillary Clinton's vice presidential pick matters, but it doesn't. In fact, it may matter even less than usual. Very few voters like or trust Clinton, so instead the campaign is turning into referendum on Donald Trump.

Cracking down on fraudulent recruiting materials put out by for-profit colleges—what could go wrong? A proposed rule from the Department of Education will expand "borrower defenses" and lengthen the list of who's eligible for debt-repayment under the Higher Education Act of 1965. But most of the…

With Donald Trump slipping, if not precipitously yet nonetheless seriously, in the polls, his choice of a vice-presidential candidate looms all the more important. The wrong choice could doom him, the right choice pull him up even, perhaps ahead of Hillary Clinton. As a not altogether disinterested…

Behold what Donald Trump, Elizabeth Warren, Twitter, and the knowledge that media fetishizes Twitter reporting hath wrought:

The 2010 Dodd-Frank Act established the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and authorized it to sue companies that commit “unfair, deceptive, or abusive acts or practices." Two staff reports and internal CFPB documents just released by congressional Republicans have exposed the new agency's…
