Universities everywhere need to take on the issue of sexual assault seriously. What happened to "Jane Doe" at Cornell happens too frequently on campuses; I know from friends, colleagues I've counseled. It's outrageous; it must stop. Believe women. Zero tolerance of sexual assault

Trump’s past 24 hours of desperation:

— posts Sen. Tom Cotton’s cellphone number and tells people to call him over daylight saving time
— again tries to scam voters with fraudulent promises $5,000 checks to every adult citizen if Republicans win the House and Senate
— says if Democrats win it will be “a 1929 disaster” and an economic depression, essentially admitting he believes his term will lead to a Great Depression
— tells a Mobile, Alabama rally to close their eyes and “pretend I’m on the ballot”
— says he’s giving $100 checks to 20 million seniors
