Melania "I Don't Care" Trump Wants Hard Evidence From Sexual Accusers. Hard, Melania?
Melania Trump is calling on sexual misconduct accusers to produce “hard evidence” to back up their claims...“I do stand with women. But we need to show the evidence,” Trump said. “You cannot just say to somebody, I was sexually assaulted, or you did that to me, because sometimes the media goes too far. And the way they portray some stories, it’s not correct. It’s not right.”
A lot of people thought Hope Hicks, Trump’s former aide, might go back to work at the White House, but she’s gone to work for Fox News. Which is the same thing, so I guess they called it. - Bette Midler

As a hurricane threatened Florida, Gov. Rick Scott balked at extending Tuesday’s voter registration deadline for a week as Democrats want, in part because the state has an online system to sign up new voters.
But thousands of Floridians have told some elections supervisors in recent days that the system isn’t working — despite claims from the state that the problems had been fixed and that the effort has been “immensely successful.”
When Republicans raise the specter of “mob rule” what they are actually talking about is voting. - Andy Borowitz
