MORE ACCUSATIONS. A woman has come forward saying Trump paraded models in front of men and looked up their skirts—and Sonja Morgan was reportedly present: “It was the most offensive scene I’ve ever been a part of.”
THE JONAS MEMBER. Joe is talking about his private parts, man crushes, and Nick Jonas’ nipples during a Reddit AMA.
ARCHAEOLOGY. China’s famous terra-cotta army may have been influenced or created by ancient Greek artisans: “The startling claim is based on two key pieces of evidence: European DNA discovered at sites in China’s Xinjiang province from the time of the First Emperor in the Third Century BC and the sudden appearance of life-sized statues.”
THE HELP HELPED. Jon Hamm opens up about his experience with therapy and going to rehab: “…there’s something to be said for pulling yourself out of the grind for a period of time and concentrating on re-calibrating the system.”
STATE OF THE RACE. TIME Magazine cover sums it up.
COME AT ME, BRO. The New York Times responds to letter from Trump threatening lawsuit if they don’t retract story that alleges Trump groped two women: “Nothing in our article has had the slightest effect on the reputation that Mr. Trump, through his own words and actions, has already created for himself.”
EVANGELICALS. Liberty University students blast Jerry Falwell Jr. for sticking by Trump: ““Donald Trump does not represent our values and we want nothing to do with him,” the statement read, in part. “He has made his name by maligning others and bragging about his sins. Not only is Donald Trump a bad candidate for president, he is actively promoting the very things that we as Christians ought to oppose.”
never thought i’d shout out loud “SLAYYYYY” while reading a letter from the @nytimes legal department, but here we are t.co/ajEctYqtz9

LOU DOBBS. Fox News anchor (and former CNN anchor) retweets the personal contact info for one of Trump’s accusers then apologizes: “In the original tweet, Dobbs, a staunch Trump supporter, linked to a post from a conservative news site that alleged Jessica Leeds was connected to the Clinton Foundation.
The site published Leeds’s address and phone number via public records and claimed her phone number matched that of the Clinton Foundation. That claim was quickly debunked. Dobbs also quoted a tweet from a supporter of Trump that included Leeds’s address and phone number. That tweet has since been deleted. Dobbs has nearly 800,000 followers.”
XY MAGAZINE. The famous gay rag is back! “Known for its steamy photos and poignant cultural commentary, XY catered to young gay men for 12 years before ceasing publication in 2008, another victim of the global financial crisis. But XY’s editor, Peter Ian Cummings, said he was determined to not let his magazine fade into obscurity. This month, the quarterly publication returns to newsstands with its original spirit ― and sizzle ― intact.”
ALT RIGHT. Swastikas at Trump rallies are a thing, in case you didn’t know.

NEW YORK/NEW JERSEY BOMBING. Suspect makes his first appearance in court: “Ahmad Khan Rahimi, 28, a U.S. citizen who was born in Afghanistan, lay in a medical bed, his arms covered with a blanket and his head propped up with a pillow, as Judge Regina Caulfield read the state charges against him. He answered “yes” — his voice barely audible in the courtroom — as Caulfield asked him whether he understood that he had legal representation and that his bail had been set at $5.2 million.”

Hillary Clinton’s ‘Gay Nephew’ Talks About Their Lifelong Friendship
I’ve known Hillary Clinton since my early childhood. She and my mother have been best friends since they were little girls growing up in Park Ridge, IL. As a child, I knew Hillary not as a powerful attorney, child advocate or the First Lady of Arkansas, but rather as Chelsea’s mom — a warm, funny lady who taught me how copious amounts of hot sauce on your scrambled eggs will keep you healthy.
To see Hillary portrayed as an evil, conniving criminal is baffling to me. Throughout my life, I have only known her as my mom’s most supportive and loving friend. Hillary took me on my first roller coaster ride when I was 12 years old. She spoke at my high school commencement ceremony and took photos with every single one of my classmates. The woman who signs her letters as “Aunt Hillary” congratulated me when I came out of the closet, when I got my pilot’s license, when I married my husband and when we adopted our baby girl. She checked in with my family regularly while my mom underwent surgery and treatment for breast cancer.
I often send Hillary photos of my daughter and she always writes me back immediately, telling me which photo is her favorite and how she can’t wait to give the little one a squeeze.
Hillary has included me and my husband in countless events over the years and always greets us with warmth and sincere affection. Several times, we’ve had the privilege to sit down with her and swap stories and, let me tell you, this woman can tell one hell of a story. Her dry wit rivals some of the best sit-com writers I’ve had the pleasure to work with. I’ve even witnessed her make her husband Bill laugh until he has tears streaming out of his eyes.
So it truly pains me to see this smart, caring woman made out to be some sort of monster. I don’t know if I should blame the scandal hungry media, a right wing conspiracy or her current political opponent, but whatever the case, I can promise you that Hillary Clinton is, as my mom puts it, a good girl. I am truly blessed to know her and to have been raised with her as a role model of how one can be driven and accomplished while remaining humble, personable and kind.
When you cast your vote for Hillary, I just want you to know you’re backing not only the most qualified presidential candidate in history, but a real person, a woman who values family, friendship and service to her fellow Americans above all else. You’ll be sending a message to my daughter that she can accomplish anything she sets her mind to. You’ll be electing a good girl. So for the next few weeks, put a few extra drops of Tabasco on your omelette — the American people need you to be healthy on November 8!
