Donald Trump has a funny way of turning newspapers blue. Even publications that have historically, or perhaps even always, endorsed a Republican candidate for president are picking Hillary Clinton over the GOP nominee this election cycle.

Summer Zervos, a former contestant on Donald Trump's show The Apprentice, appeared at a press conference Friday to accuse the Republican nominee of unwanted sexual advances, Politico reports. In the "tearful press conference," Zervos explained that she had reached out to Trump in the hopes of working for his organization in 2007:

In a speech Friday, Donald Trump denied mounting allegations of sexual assault by suggesting the women who accused him are "doing it probably for a little fame." "It's a total setup," Trump said, insisting he has "no idea who these women are." However, while Trump was delivering his speech, a former Apprentice contestant came forward with new allegations against the Republican presidential nominee.

Household budgets and spending vary greatly from state to state. You'll likely spend a lot more on housing in New Jersey than you would in West Virginia — more than twice as much, in fact, according to data from the Commerce Department on 2015 consumer spending. New Jerseyans spent $9,482 per capita on housing and utilities on average, compared to Mountain State locals' $4,573 average bill. The crown, however, goes to District of Columbia residents, who dished out a whopping $10,569 per person for those living expenses. Читать дальше...

After 16.5 hours of surgery, 13-month-old twin boys born conjoined at the head have been successfully separated.

The Toronto Blue Jays and the Cleveland Indians meet for the first game of the best-of-seven ALCS on Friday at Progressive Field. Cleveland comes into the series having outmaneuvered the Red Sox with creative bullpen deployments; the seemingly unhittable Corey Kluber will be on the mound for them tonight.

Following a week-long flood of women accusing Donald Trump of inappropriate comments and touching throughout the years, yet another woman has come forward to tell her story. The alleged incident took place in the early 1990s at what the accuser believes was China Club in New York City, a haunt of Trump's at the time: "Kristin Anderson was deep in conversation with acquaintances at a crowded Manhattan nightspot and did not notice the figure to her right on a red velvet couch — until, she recalls...

President Obama was on fire Friday. At a Hillary Clinton campaign event in Ohio, the president pulled out zinger after zinger about Donald Trump. Here are seven of his best lines.

CNN's Jake Tapper slammed his former colleague, Donna Brazile, over what appears from WikiLeaks emails to have been coordination with the Hillary Clinton campaign before a Democratic town hall. From the emails, it seems Brazile warned Clinton's team of a death penalty question that was later asked in a slightly different form at the forum.

New York City discovered that Donald Trump apparently did not donate to the two primary 9/11 charities after the terrorist attacks, although he accepted a public thanks for the supposed donation of $10,000 in October 2001.

When a heckler tried to interrupt President Obama at a Hillary Clinton event in Ohio on Friday, he pulled out the perfect zinger to shut him down. After getting the crowd to drown out the guy's yelling with chants of "Hillary," Obama threw some shade: "I keep on telling folks, you gotta organize your own rallies. If you're confident about the other guy, just go to his rallies. I feel confident about my candidate, that's why I'm at this rally."

Most of the conversation that followed Bob Dylan winning the Nobel Prize in Literature missed perhaps the most important window into the work of the great poet (since, yes, he is a poet, and thus eligible for a prize in literature). And that is that Bob Dylan's poetry is deeply, profoundly shaped by the Bible.

A Rhode Island district court needed to instruct a jury full of potential Boston Red Sox fans not to hold a defendant's New York Yankees hat against him, Universal Hub reports. Nevertheless, when David Alcantara received five years in federal prison for conspiracy to commit bank fraud and conspiracy to pass counterfeit currency, he blamed the baseball rivalry for making the jury biased against him.

Don't worry, everyone: She knew he was there.

Speaking to Ellen DeGeneres for the Friday episode of the host's eponymous show, Hillary Clinton addressed the talk about Donald Trump's looming presence behind her on the debate stage at this week's presidential debate. Because of the release two days before of audio of Trump graphically discussing forcing himself on women, Clinton said her Republican rival was "really all wrought up, and you could sense how much anger he had."

That anger... Читать дальше...

In a newly unearthed 1994 interview with ABC's Primetime Live, Donald Trump shed some light on why he talks about women the way he does. Rather than disagreeing with host Nancy Collins' assertion that some people think he is a "chauvinist pig," Trump explained that "with people in general, you get more with vinegar than honey."

Mike Pence told the hosts of Fox & Friends that the Donald Trump campaign is working to release "evidence" that proves allegations of sexual assault against the candidate are false.

Americans are divided on how to fix our criminal justice system, Gallup poll results released Friday reveal. While nearly half (49 percent) say the primary goal should be "strengthening law and order through more police and greater enforcement of the laws," almost as many (43 percent) want to start with "reducing bias against minorities in the criminal justice system by reforming court and police practices."

Hillary Clinton took a hawkish stance on China in leaked excerpts of speeches she gave to Wall Street audiences, the Associated Press reports.

The average fee charged by banks for using an out-of-network ATM is now a record $4.57, according to a recent analysis by Bankrate. That means you could pay up to 9 percent on a $50 withdrawal. The average fee has increased every year for the past decade. Experts says the prices keep edging upward because the overall use of ATMs is declining, likely thanks to the increased adoption of mobile payment tools like Apple Pay, Venmo, and others. "The cost of maintaining and upgrading ATM networks gets... Читать дальше...

Some 43.3 million Americans are saddled with student debt totaling $1.26 trillion. Many are not happy about it.

As much as Donald Trump may try to argue otherwise, Vice President Joe Biden is unconvinced former President Bill Clinton's infidelity is relevant to the 2016 presidential election, or to wife Hillary Clinton's shot at winning the White House. "It shouldn't matter," Biden said in an excerpt of his Meet the Press interview with Chuck Todd, set to air Sunday.
