The U.S. government’s gross national debt has surpassed $37 trillion, setting a new record.

An obscure bookkeeping matter has become the latest flashpoint in Congress as Democrats accuse Republicans of violating Senate norms.

The national debt is slated to rise by $23.9 trillion over the next decade, a sum that does not include trillions of dollars in additional tax cuts being championed by President-elect Donald Trump.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - A Jacksonville man previously convicted of driving under the influence faces DUI charges in connection with a crash last year that killed one passenger and injured another. David Scott Riley, 54, surrendered to the Jacksonville Sheriffs Office on July 1 after authorities issued an arrest warrant charging him with DUI manslaughter and DUI causing serious bodily injury. Riley and passenger Michael Peterson were ejected in the crash. The pair and another passenger, Brian Brown, were taken to UF Health Jacksonville. Clay County court records show Riley was previously convicted of DUI with property damage following a May 2013 crash.
