Anthony Weiner will announce he's running for New York City mayor sometime this week, but he won't get the Clintons' official support or endorsement, Politico's Maggie Haberman reports.
Now that Hillary Clinton no longer has a nonpartisan badass day job, the universe is reverting back to its natural state in which Clinton is a controversial figure with a complicated past and more than a few enemies as well as the symbol of some people's anxieties about women in power.
Huma Abedin remained Hillary Clinton's deputy chief of staff when she came back from maternity leave in June 2012, even though she worked part-time from her home in New York and was allowed to start a side gig as a consultant.
Here's one early way to tell how serious Hillary Clinton is about running for president in 2016: She's treading lightly with her and her husband's public support of Anthony Weiner in his run for mayor ahead of this September's primary. And if you believe Page Six, Hillary and Bill won't be supporting Weiner at all.
The latest round of Capitol Hill hearings picking apart the U.S. response to the attack on its diplomatic mission in Benghazi last September has arrived. There will be big things, apparently. There will be surprises. There will definitely be whistleblowers. And there might be a lot more to come after that. But first, here's an in-depth look at the day ahead.
At least one of three State Department witnesses at a Congressional hearing on Wednesday will testify that Hillary Clinton willfully ignored the advice of his counterterror group within the department, and that he has been threatened about saying as much in public, and that al-Qaeda was involved all along.
In addition to admitting his run for mayor, Weiner admits he got caught up in the thrill of social media, which allows regular citizens to interact with politicians in a way that's never been possible before. It feels very democratic. But sometimes it also feels like you've seen a kind of desperation that you shouldn't have seen.

Mark Warner became the latest member of the Senate to announce his support for gay marriage Monday afternoon — and perhaps the last to do so with any effectiveness.

Non-politician Hillary Clinton has officially decided that she supports same-sex marriage, announcing her position in a video for Human Rights Campaign.
The former congressman and current reigning king of political sex scandals on Twitter isn't just filing papers and spending a lot of money on his run for New York mayor — he's still bitter and apparently planning the demise of Nancy Pelosi, a scenario that he somehow thinks will only happen when a Clinton is president again.
The only thing keeping Michelle Obama out of elected office is Michelle Obama. If Sandberg really wants to start a social movement, maybe she can start with a single "ambition gap": the First Lady's. It might even keep those newfound rumors of a Hillary-Michelle ticket going.

The Secretary of State returned to work Monday, one month after falling ill with a stomach virus — which led to a fall, which led to a concussion, which led to a blood clot, which led to a hospital stay, all of which got a lot of people very confused about when she would testify on Benghazi.
