Here are a few national and Virginia news headlines, political and otherwise, for Saturday, August 13. Also see President Obama’s weekly address, on “the progress we have made to combat global climate change.”

- Hillary Clinton, Tim Kaine release tax returns, pressure Donald Trump to release his tax forms
- Trump Risks Hitting Ceiling as Swing Voters Say, ‘Enough’ (“Instead of widening his appeal, Donald J. Trump continues to alienate certain groups, leaving him stagnant in the polls.”)
- Trump backs off his backpedal on Obama terror claim (Trump contradicts himself constantly, makes absolutely no sense, is utterly deranged. How can he be the presidential nominee of a major political party in this country? And how can anyone still support him?)

- Fox News Promotes Executive Who Reportedly “Played An Integral Role” In Covering Up Sexual Harassments Claims (Fox was a cesspool and continues to be a cesspool.)

- Rio 2016: Simone Manuel’s Olympic gold is also a victory over swimming’s racist history
