Elizabeth Warren is not done with Wells Fargo or its now-former chief executive John Stumpf.
Facing a public outcry over widespread fraud allegations, the bank announced on Wednesday that the 63-year-old Stumpf was retiring. But that’s just the first step, according to the Democratic Massachusetts senator, who ripped Stumpf apart at a Senate hearing in September for his role in the scam.
At the time, Warren called for three things: Stumpf’s ouster; an investigation of the bank by the Justice Department and SEC; and for Stumpf to be forced to give back all the money he made while the scam was ongoing. (While the bank was fined $185 million by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau for five years of misbehavior, it’s still unclear how long the shady practice was going on.)

Dead and dying are two very different things.
If a person is diagnosed with a life-threatening illness, their loved ones don’t rush to write an obituary and plan a funeral. Likewise, species aren’t declared extinct until they actually are.
In a viral article entitled “Obituary: Great Barrier Reef (25 Million BC-2016),” however, writer Rowan Jacobsen proclaimed ― inaccurately and, we can only hope, hyperbolically ― that Earth’s largest living structure is dead and gone.

The rats are quickly jumping from the sinking ship of Trump. But not so fast, dear Republican senators and congressmen. Trump may have verbalized his misogyny, sexism and abuse of women into an open microphone, but over the past decades you ― YOU ― have LEGALIZED it. He may talk of “grabbing” sexual organs, but YOU have created laws that legally grab control over women’s bodies. Trump may brag about his power over women; YOU, the Republican legislators (and your backers, the Christian Right and rich businessmen), have made sure women aren’t paid the same as men, don’t have paid maternity leave, or can’t get easy access to birth control.
Trump has been called “disgusting” for his remarks. But you, by actually blocking women’s equal rights, you’ve been rewarded for your misogyny with re-election, campaign cash and future lobbying jobs. You think by disowning Trump now that we, the people, are going be grateful to you. But we know that Trump is only the natural result of a Republican culture that has viciously fought the women’s agenda for years. Trump hasn’t destroyed your party; he’s your end game, the grim reaper from the seeds you have sown, showing up now to preside over your demise. Defeating Trump, or pushing him to drop out, is NOT what will make this right for the majority of us Americans. Like any good doctor, we need to remove the cancer from its source, and that source is you.

Covering Donald Trump rallies has never been easy for journalists. Members of the press are often the target of jeering by unruly crowds that are egged on by the candidate himself.
But as the campaign falters and Trump spins tales of a media conspiracy, the scene appears to be getting even uglier.
In Ohio on Thursday, Trump claimed that allegations he groped several women were “lies, corruption and false accusations of the crooked Hillary campaign and the mainstream media,” according to the Cincinnati Enquirer. Earlier in the day in Florida, he said the media was at “war,” with an agenda to elect Clinton “at any cost, at any price, no matter how many lives they destroy.”

Remember Tom DeLonge of early-2000s pop-punk band Blink-182? Remember how he took a break from the band to focus on a multimedia project about UFOs and the government? Turns out, the singer-guitarist has contacted Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman John Podesta about UFOs, according to the Wall Street Journal. WikiLeaks released the emails this month.
As the Wall Street Journal reports, DeLonge wrote to Podesta about UFOs at least twice, but it’s unclear if Podesta responded.
[DeLonge] wrote in cryptic terms about their well-documented mutual interest in more government disclosure about the phenomenon of unidentified flying objects of potential extraterrestrial origin.
The emails, released by the website Wikileaks this month, also reveal that Mr. Podesta participated in a documentary that Mr. DeLonge is producing. It isn’t clear whether Mr. Podesta responded to the messages.

Tead show walking. That’s not a statement on its quality, though admittedly, the season two premiere that aired night isn’t the show’s best effort. Instead, it’s a pessimistic prediction about how much time the show has left.
The premiere episode followed Kenny (Noah Galvin) as he tried to establish an LGBTQ club at his Catholic high school, running into not administrative problems, but a lack of interest from other students. It’s the kind of “Kenny is proud, but must stand alone” story we got a lot of in season one, and you’d think we might go somewhere else this year. Those developments are coming, with Kenny’s first boyfriend on the way, but this premiere was a safe return.
Unfortunately, that’s about all that’s safe about The Real O’Neals these days. In the wake of star Galvin’s June interview wit it feels like the ABC sitcom is walking a tightrope — and it’s only getting thinner.

Listen, in our wild year of performative wokeness, willful sleepiness and flat out nonsense, CoverGirl tried to do something great by rolling out a Katy Perry-supported campaign for its first male brand ambassador, James Charles.
Now, as a gay who appreciates a face beat like the confederacy as much as the next queen, this breaking of gender norms by highlighting a male as a brand ambassador is great. After all, we live in a society that polices masculinity at every opportunity. Masculinity is so fragile that we even gender cocktails. Having a gay male ambassador represent a makeup brand on National Coming Out Day isn’t just coming out of the closet, it’s burning it down. That said, how about we, and I’m just spitballin’ here, maybe have a trans woman first?
First, let me start by saying (before the social justice warriors sharpen their machetes) that I am not a trans woman; I’m just throwing out some common sense here as a member of the LGBTQ community who myself often feels overlooked. Second, this argument assumes that trans women look at CoverGirl’s cisgender female brand ambassadors and feel unrepresented. Finally, that the insinuation that trans women need makeup to be femme-presenting could be trivializing and commoditizing does not go unrecognized.

Four women came forward Wednesday night with allegations of Donald Trump sexually assaulting them.
The New York Times began the wave of accounts with a bombshell report on two women, Jessica Leeds and Rachel Crooks, who say Trump groped them. Both had told close friends of being assaulted by Trump, but neither had gone public with their story until Wednesday. A third woman, Mindy McGillivray, also accused Trump of groping her in a story published by the The Palm Beach Post shortly after the Times article appeared. And later Wednesday, People writer Natasha Stoynoff said Trump had attempted to force himself on her while she was interviewing him.
Three of the alleged incidents happened in the early to mid-2000s, while one was 30 years ago. Two occurred at Mar-a-Lago, Trump’s estate in South Florida. All four paint a disturbing picture of a man who 11 years ago was recorded boasting he can sexually assault women at will because of his fame.

As ash from Iceland’s Eyjafjallajokull volcano continued to keep European airspace shut down over the weekend, affecting millions of travelers around the world, some government agencies and airlines clashed over the flight bans. Some restricted airspace is now beginning to open up and some limited flights are being allowed now as airlines are pushing for the ability to judge safety conditions for themselves. The volcano continues to rumble and hurl ash skyward, if at a slightly diminished rate now, as the dispersing ash plume has dropped closer to the ground, and the World Health Organization has issued a health warning to Europeans with respiratory conditions. Collected here are some images from Iceland over the past few days. (35 photos total)

Thick drifts of volcanic ash blanketed parts of rural Iceland on Friday as a vast, invisible plume of grit drifted over Europe, emptying the skies of planes and sending hundreds of thousands in search of hotel rooms, train tickets or rental cars.

I attended a showing of the historical movie ‘Birth of A Nation’. I find the cast of White slave owners and their families closely mirrors today’s GOP supporters (bigots out for blood). The Slave owners attempt to erase Nat Turner, the Black hero’s legacy is much like the Grand Old Party trying to erase President Obama’s legacy by using lies and deception. I Pray the Republicans are not successful. It seems the more things change the more they stay the same.
